ole publication that mas just appeared IN th'
, eastern papers, by Redpath, to counteract thu
Y publication Of Robinson alluded to above.
d This remarkable document IS contained il
full in the New York Daily Herald Of the 1otl
inst. 1t occupies five and a half columns o
the Herald, and contains as long a letter from
Phillips, who still resides in Kansas, and also
, one from Hinton, generally called Lnton in Kan.
sas, from his cockuey pronunciation, who writes
at present from Boston, the present residence
Of Redpath. ........
1t may be we'll enough to remark here that
Redpath, Phillips, Hinton and RealG are En-.
glish abolilionists, and were employed by Gree.
ley during the Kansas troubles to bring on
war in the United States about slavery, while
all those who support and give testimony tC
Governor Robson are American born. These
facts may go for what thep are worth! As to
which side tells the n,ast truth is not material
for our purpose What.we desire is that oul
readers, late as the day is, may be informed o
the monstrous humbug practsed on the coun-
try by these Fremont Kansas schreechers in
+ 1856, and in fact during the whole Kansas ex-
element For men who would be guilty o.
such monstrous acts to carry Presidential elec-
ton in 1856, may be expected to commit the
same outrages on public credulity for the same
purposes in 1860. "Fore warned, is to be FORE
armed."
Re1path thus introduces his publication:

Then follows Robinsons testimony:
Washington Deb. II Cor. Of The Herald
Testimony Of Gov Robinson, Of Kansas, Jejo,t
the Senate Committee.
"Gov Robinson, of Kansas, testified to day
, before the committee to the effect that Brown
did not 90 to Kansas 10 settle. but on account
of the difficulties which he expected would ex
tend until the country generally should become
involved, and slavery lie abolished. His object
waa not peace, but revolution, and differed ir
this respect from the Tree State men generally
The only n\her person who avowed to the wit.
ness similar object was James Redpalh.
, "a iter he had lost all hopes OF accomplishing
his object, he related to the witness the designs
of himself and some others who were operating
with him. He said but few were in the secret,
though many were operating with them. The
reason Of his opposition to taking possession
Of the Territorial and Leccmptpn State Gov
ernment at the ballot box was because he saw
E in such policy an end to the disturbances, and
consequently, to his hopes Oft revolution.
"Hence he, and those with him, who were
chiefly reporters Of the press, made war upon
f all who were likely to aid in securing quiet, in
order to destroy their influence with the peo
pie He said he acted on the principle that the
end justified the means and they hesitated a
no fasehood, or libel against any man who stooC
in their way, provided it promised to further
their object. This, he said, accounted Tor the
ISLANDERS OF the reporters who were IN the scheme
against those who opposed them.
"Witness knew Of but one attempt to set OF
foot a revolution. This was led by Col Lane
who, Mr. Redpath said, was under strong
pledge to act as their leader in fighting. Sool
after the creating of the Military Board witness
. heard Gen. Lane say that he had given orders
to the Brigadier Generals 10 strike at severa
points in the Territcry with view, as he un
derstood, to effect general slaughter of pro
slavery men. His orders were never obpyed
e if given, and soon after he went into Southern
e Kansas, with the purpose, as Mr. Leonhart, on
of the officers, afterwards told witness to marcel
" upon Fort Scott. Some United States troop
were in that vicinity at the time and Mr.. L
J., said Gen. Lane showed the white feather ant
e hacked do"h.
"W,tness supposed, until the conversation
with Redpath, that this was an insane move
y ment OF Lanes alone, but he now understand
that 1t was a concerted plan Of the revolution
k lists. This was the end OF that class OF opera
4 tions, so far as the witness was cogniZant.
"rhe New York Tribune was used by thes
. men, Philips and Rcdpath, as we'll as many
e other papers, and they claimed that by mean
S of the press, to which they had access as cor
# respon Tents, they could make or destroy an,
man." ...,.... ..
Phillips on seeing this addresses note t
Robinson demanding to know VIII ther he
~. correctly reported, to which Robinson replie
!, as follows: ....
