AN EFFORT PoR BRowN.-.The Akron (Ohio) Bea-
con of the 10th says:
We understand that serious effort will be made
by the friends and relatives of John Brown, in this
lluuCe pof. WISE 10 respite Brown fOr |
time sufficient to try the question of his sanity
The dispatch, sent by the writer of this paragraph
stating the fact that insanity was hereditary in |
that family '-avaled nothing to stay his trial. We
doubt if an hundred afdavits from our best citizens
Of actual insanity believed, will delay his execu-
lion on the gaows for day. Still, such an effort
we are told, will be made Believing, as we Ger.
anly do, that upon this question and those related
to it-(the question to-wit, of slavery John
Brown was a noonomaniac, we cannot bear the
thought of his being hung as a felon.
They may as well spare their efforts. Brown will
certainly be hung at the time appointed, and, as he
was found guilty of treason as well as murder, we
believe that according to the laws of Virginia the
Governor has no power to either pardon or respite
him without the action of the Legislature. The |
recent action of Gov. Wise, in encamping at
Charlestown with a large force, shows clearly
enough that his mind is made up on the matter.
THE NEGRO Ex-EMPERoR.-Solouque the ex-Em-
peror of Hayti, is staying at Kingston, but is in
great trouble His minister, Dessalines, has created
q domestic trouble by his attentions to Solouque's
sister-in-law, and the ex-Emperor's temper is
further soured by his defeats at the billiard table,
When in Hayti his courtiers always allowed him to
gain the game, but in Jamaica the players are not
so respectful
