on the arrival of the Southern excursionists at

large number Of handbills, purportipg to come
from the Repub'icans, invoking the spirit Of
John Brown, and filed with the grossest insults
to the Southern party. It was the intention to
circulate these bills in the train when it arrived
but fortunately it was discovered in time to put

gave a short address Of very non. committal
