OIdErowM's Dosngs in Kansas.

John D. pennybacker, the member elect OF
the Virginia Senate from the Rockingham dis
trict, furnishes the Harrisonburgh Register with
an account OF his experience With Ossawatomie
Brown IN Kansas, which proves the Abolition
martyr to be robber in the lowest acceptation
of the term. Mr.. Pennybacker was United
States Survey Examiner in the Territory, and
was with Capt. Pate's party when it was cap
tured by artifice at Black Jack. he says
Brown would not have spared his prisoners
lives then. but that his own two sons were IN
prison at Lecompton. The statement contin-
ueS:- ,
While in his hands, heard Browns son
boast of the horses they had stolen from M is

out for the purpose Of robbing an Indian trad
ing post (Joseph Bernard's,) and saw them re-
turn loaded with the goods (some $4,000 worth, }
Old Brown exclaiming as they came in, 'Well
DONE my boys!" Brown told me himself that

ever gave as an excuse that he was attempting
to run o # slaves while doing this kansas work''
never heard from him or any one else. There
was not SLAVE within forty miles Of Pottawat-
tonne Creek, where he committed the murders,
and not one OF the murdered fnen had ever rails
ed an armed against him.
Thus much for the religious &naticism and
humanity of Brown, 'the martyr" His bold
ness, daring and unscrupulousness pointed him
ovt as a fit instrument for carrying out the the
helsh designs of men too cowardly to execute
their own base schemes.

presented by John P. Hale in the U. 5. Senate
on the first OF February, 1850:

and is grossly inconsistent with republican
principles; that its attempt to unite freedom
and slavery in one body polite has brought up.
on the country great and manifold evils, and
has fully proved that no such union can exist

cy ofslavery, respectfully ask you to devise and
propose without delay, some plan Tor the i'm

When l was aboy, it is no matter when, admit 'twas long time ago, There were plenty of children with rounda-
 bouts then;
 And the world turned around very slow; At nlne the old people went through with their
 prayers,
 And the children all went to their beds. For they never took part in the grown folks
 affairs
 Till an idea came into their heads. But now we have exquisite dandies at ten, Who trust in their swallow-tailed coats, And put on the airs and the vices of men, And squander their change and bank notes; They top off their cocktails and wine with a
 smack,
 Till, though green, they all getvery mellow, And they slap you familiarly over the back, While they say, 'sIow dye do, my old fel-
 low!' -55. They turn up their noses at girls in their
 frocks, a asoe ' And talk about hoops and long dresses, At an age when their fathers wore natures
 own socks,
 Nor dreamed ofntrigues and carcsses; They smoke, chew tobacco, bet. gamble and A swear, diltias &H And dance all the polkas and fancies, With an easy assurance and langnishiig 2 air, That delights all the Btidgets and Nancies. o dear. am Frightened half out of my wits With the hurry. and hustle, and stir, The world, by steam progress, seems knocked
 into fits
 And goes round with whzz and whrr; Shall we never go back to the steady old pace, And grow up and expand by degrees? For now we rush as if running a race, And the devil the hindmost would selze.
