,rin.er.st to do 80, We assdred our
prsouers that we did not wish to harm

erv, exercised my best Judgment,
no believing the people would wantonly
sarifce their own fellow citizens. -
When We offered to let then. 90 upon
coalition of being allowed to change our
petition about qdarter Of a mile, &
ID, prisoners agreed by = vote anon
themselves to pass across the bridge with
US. We wanted them only rs sort Of
guarantee for our own safety, that we
should not be fred iuto. We took them
inthe FIRST place, a. hostages, to keep
them from doing any harm. We did kill
sone when defending ourselves, but I
say no one tiae, except directly in self. de-
fcrse. Orders were strict not to harm
any one not IN arms against US.
Brown, suppose you had any negroes
in the Free State, what would you do
with them?
Brown, 10 loud tone aud with elm.
phasis-Set them free, sir.
Tour intention was to carry, them off
and free them?
Brown-Not at all.
Bystander--To set them free woula
sacrifice the life Of every man in this
community.
Brown do not think SO.
Bystander-I know that. l think
you are fanatical
Brown--And l think you are fanati-
cal, "Whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad. :"
Was your ouly object to free tho ne
groes?
Brown-Absolutely, our only object.
Bystander-But you went aud took
Col. Nashington's silver and watch.
Brown-Oh yes; we intended freely
to have appropriated the property of slave
holders to carry out our object. 1t was
for that, and only that. We had no de-.
sign to enrich ourselves with any plum.
der whatever.
Bystander-Did you know Shcrod in
Kansas understand you killed him.
Brown killed no man, except in
fair fight. / fought ut Black Jack and
at Ossawattomie, and, if killed anybody
it was at one of those places.

For the Upton Advertiser. !
Cedar County Fair.

The FAIR went off quite to the encour-
cement Of the managers. The follow
ing is list Of premiums awarded.
CD. Bent. from near Iowa City, was
on hand with several Of his Devon cattle;
among which was his imported bull,
which took the first premium at the late
U. s. Fair; but being beyond our bound
aries could not come in Us a competitor.
There was tanning mill on the ground,
fro" the City, made by Calvert l. South
whk, which meritsd much attention.
Also some leather, tanned BY j. Thomp.
sou, OF the same place, which made q
very good appearance. Ii his leather
proves to be as good as it looks, he will
no doubt receive a large patronage
Some leather, tarned in Upton, was
brought too late for entry or much Of an
examination.
All persons entitled to premiums
should call on the Secretary, II miles
northeast of Springda ale Post Office.

The Cedar C0anty Fair.

Wo had the pleasure Of attending the
last day Of the fair Of the Cedar County
Agricultural Society at SpriDgdale, the
fore part Of this month. The day was
commenced with n slight fall Of rain, but
il soon cleared of and was every way
pleasant. The people turned out en-
nsasse, there being about fifteen hundred
Or two thousand present. The show of
eattlc was first rate in some departments.
Mr.. Bent Of Iowa City, was present with
several head Of Devons that had taken
premiums at the Chicago National Fair
The show Of horses was good. After
paying dime we were permitted access
to the yard containing the various arti-
clcs, where We found first rate show Of
vegetables, fruit, labor. saving machines
Of various kinds, household manufac.
turos, ETC., etc. There were several OK
cellent specimens Of Sorghum molasscs,
some Of them better than any cane syrup
we ever tasted, showing clearly that
Iowa eau aud should raise her own mo-
lasscs. We were much pleased to see the
bees Of G. G.. Mcneil in their glass hives.
which attracted much aud deserved at
tention. Mr.. Mcneil has done much
during the past summer to secure plenty
Of honey for our citizens.
The fair, being the FIRST Que Of the new
society, was very cred'table to the off
GERS aud members. We hope our farm,
crS will take an increased interest in such
fairs, for We believe, they will, if rightly
managed, do great good. A list ofprcm-
iums awarded will be found in another
column.

Under this head the last Denocru
'.ivos us some Of its wise reflections. l,
does not deny that it printed counter
felt or bugus Republican tickets. We
know there were various causes coumbin.
which defeated portion of our ticket,
Ne have sp ken Of some of them before.
ono great cause was that Republicans had
not yet learned or would not believe that
Democrats would lie and counterfeit to
cary their ticket The Democrat SAYS ::
"Their defeat is the righteous judgment
q Of the people against the nefarious aud
" outrageous system CT intrigue and
cl:.ueing which has been resorted to
by the faction, In which the manager
"of the Adr-gtter took q conspicuous
part" We have ouly this to say with

tons, except on the part of certain par
ties in this town, who cndcavored to Sc.

which attempt they most siguaily failed,

Lncct Of the Late Blectsoas

The Chicago Herald, psper n gener-
al very ultra in it, views, takes the sub
joined common sense view Of the late
elections. Our contemporary at the OH
er end Of the hall quotes considerably
from the above named paper, but We don't
remember to have seen the following par.
agraph inthat sheet :-Dareaport Gazcn.
1.-The result Of the late elections IN
Maine, Vermont, Ohio, Iowa and Min
ncssota, afford good instructive lesson
to Democrats. In those Suites the Oppo.
sition have succeeded by increased ma
jorities. Why? Because, in tn ),
States the Democracy, fearing to st md
up maufully for Democratic principle
for the CoDstitution-adopted the Squat
ter Sovereignty heresies Of the l,tti,
demagogue Of Illinois, in the hope that
by thus pandering the free-soil entilnent.
they would gain votes. We have seen
the result Of this demoralizing and COW
ardly course. The Democratic party !,
covered with defeat. The Opp ,,ition
are jubilant over vastly increased mrjor-
tiles, are in high glee in anticipation o.
certain victory in 1860. Soon they will
have Wisconsin, by an increased ma
jority, to add to the long list of victories
