Kentucky about twenty mCu to ono slave

ossAwAroMfE BROWN.
We'll now. como to the answering OF
this 'Ossawatomie Brown" affair. | am
going to speak plainly and above board, and
without reserve In my humb!o judgment,
il has no connection what"yGr, with party
associations IN those United States. Gs such.

sions that It is nothing else but "a sequence.
and fruit for.srcn hy all sensible mon. Of
that invasion OF Kansas by the Southern
pro. slavery party, united to their Northern
allies. If YOU don't like that, you must
como homo to your bOsoms and ask there
whether il be truo; it is realization OF
scripture truth. that they who "sow the
wind shall reap tho whill.wind" 1t ia that
and it is nothing else. Our fathers know
and felt all tho exciting accomplishments
that have followed in tho wake OF this in
atitution of Slavery. They iorosaw that it
