Of his disposon-we but regard him as one of
the subtle foes the South could have in her nds,
Brown and the others, their compact made the
desperate venture but Real after having kept the oath
Of secrey while among the very people whose lives

Provisional Constitution read there by Brown and
agreed TO, and the officers elected as stated Mr. 4
says that Brown then informed him that Forbes was in
New York. and in possession Of certain correspondence
between himself and Forbes and that he feared Forbes
would the confidential correspondence to an evil
use aud desired Mr.. Realf go New York and get
the correspondence. Mr. Reaf SAYS that finding himself
thus implicated he went TO New York. but did not find
Forbes through Greeley, he had been advised but
revealed the matter TO Orlando Yeaton managing book

m England and France, telling t. among Others TO Mr.
Nezey American Consul at HAyre. Having renowned
Aboltonism, he sailed from France New Orleans and
from thence 10 Mobile in April last
He says that soon ashe learned Browns nurrosas
he renowned all notions Of participation and only acted
with them because Of his conviction that having learned
their plans he could not have escaped though the pledge
OF secresy only extended the forfeiture OF the pro,
ton which the society afforded. Mr. Reaf assures n.
that his remuneration of Abotonism is sincere and thai
be has told his acquaintance here that should he remain
out Of the pulpit he intended 10 make speeches giving
his notions Of the horrors Of Aboonsm in the North
during the next Presidential election and If not then e
publish the letters.
He assures US that he does know that Gerrit Smith
sent money TO Brown the latter saying that Smith wa
cognizant Of all bis plans; that Dr. Howe and Theodor,
Parker, OF Boston, Thomas Wentworth Higrinson o
worcester and Sanborn, Of Concord were cognzaut OF
bis plans and would sustain him with money He saw
that Brown was very secretve man and able leader

between Iowa City and Upton where nc leciured upoi
education and other subjects
He tells US that after leaving Cleveland for New York
he never had further correspondence with any Of IN
parties; this in June, 1885 And when he returne
TO the United States he supposed the whole expedition
bad been broken mp. He offers no defense or apolog
for the mOnsous Wckedness Of the purpose of the aso
citation, but processes sincere conviction Of the grea
moral wrong.
we will add that We yesterday suggested TO IN
friends Of Mr. Reali the proprety Of HE placing hise
