Browns provocation to rrtallate on the
siavebreeders in this light:
Laying aside monomania upon the
slavery question. Mr.. Brown was as just,
as upright, as kind man as walks
That he had become mad upon that one
question is indeed true, aud that slave.
holders drove him to that madness is
equally true. Mr. Browns family were
murdered by shareholders, hls good,
were destroyed by shareholders, aud he
was hunted down like dog, by slavehol-
ders, for the sole crime Free Kansas.
Brown reasoned thus: If it is right for
shareholders TO extend involuntary ser.
vitude' BY force Of arms, it is right for
me to abolish slavery by force Of arms
II it is right for Shareholders to murder
my sons in order to faeten slavery on
Kansas, it is right for me to murder
in Virginia in order that
slaves may be made free. It is but tit
for tat, and we ask: Who will dispute
the soundness his Of argument.

Demnc attic Honor.

The course pursued by the Democrats
in reference TO Mr.. Bradshaw, our
Sheriff elect, is Illustrative of Democratic
honor and honesty. A few days after the
election, and prior to the canvassing of
the returns, it was reportedth that Dr.. Cow
ans majority would be from ten to if
.teen. 1t was remarked then by some Of
the Republicans that if that was the case
it would be best to contest the election
Of DR.. Cowan. After the canvass We
heard no talk of contesting his election.
We have heretofore stated the facts in re-
lation to o portion Of the Republican
tickets having one letter wrong in Mr..
Bradshaw's name, aud that, counting the
votes that were intended for him, he had
seventeen majority in the county. So
well satisfied was Mr. Filloon, the Demo
cratic candidate for sheriff, Of this fact,
that he stated repeatedly that he was sat
isfied that majority of those voting pre-
ferrel Mr.. Bradshaw. aud that he was
sstisfed-that he would not contest it,
and would not hold an Office under such
circumstances if he could get 1t. The
Denocrat, knowing all the facts, has
never said word about contcsting Mr..
b. elections Thus matters stood I'M
I'll sundown of the last day on which the
notice of contest could be given, when a
notice was Gled with the county Clerk
that the election Of Mr. b. would be con.
tested. Why was this undetermined Sc
cret course taken? Evidently because
they feared that. if they contested Mr..
| Bradshaw's election, that Mr.. McCIain
would contest the election Of DIR. Cowan.
For it is certain that il Mr.. Bradshaw
did not get a majority that Dr.. Cowan
| did not. Several votes were cast in this
and other townships on which DR.. G.. 5
name was written, or what was intended
for his name-some being for "Dr. Cow.
an some for "Wm. Cowan," {thcre is
VIM. Cowan in the county aside from.
the DR.. } some for "Wm T. Cow" and
other ways beside the correct way, and
yet they were all tied, as intended,
for Vim. p. C,wan 1t is known, too,
that several illegal votes we're cast for the
Democratic candidates, enough, with
those on which the Dr's name was mis-.
spelled. to have elected Mr. McClain -
These things we're known, and Mr.. Nc
Claim believing that the DR.. was elected
morally aud legally, would not contest
The facts place MIR. Filloon aud others
in this position: They told it around
that they would not contest, to prevent
contest on the part of the Republicans,
when they were I'LL the time intending TO
contest. Such course may be honora.
bic for Democrats, for little is required
whore little is given, bnt it would no.
be honorable for Republicans.

enj oying his misery comfortably, when

forehead and grunting most dismally.
