O'Clock yesterday, He made no remarks from
the scaffold; but it is said he has prepared a
glengshy address," which may be published.
1t strikes us that in the arrangements for hang
ing the old man, the Government acted very
silly, With two thousand soldiers in the neigh
borhood of the gallows, the government could
have afforded to admit some friends Of Brown,
and score Of news reporters to hear what the
old man desired to say on the verge Of the
grave, and to witness the execution The ad-
mission of such company to the vicinity Of
the gallows would have done no possible harm,
but would probably have been gratifying to
Brown, and satisfactory to the people through
out the country
