We are frequently asked wb,
terness towards Lane /; our apsS. ~. Olt'
ways been. "he is politically corr, ns al.
destitute Of morals" And Wa P' and
slone in this opinion; we publish not
following extract from a privs,s tA'
from Lawrence, not written "a, "., ie''sr

Yesterday we had ano,bo,
County Convention, which slsc,.i1 oa'
delegates to the State ConventioO Ga SIX
vor Of VIM. A. Phillips for the C5 y IA
Convention-endorsed Lane for n. M
Senate, and repudiat0d Robinson h. :. D.
casting vote of Amasa Souls, an olS n 'ae
risonian AbOlitionist, who was Pr..;a N,
Of the Convention. The resolution, ''-e'
introduced by VIM. A. Phillips VT ~S''
with the aid Of Lanes and Tb,. Iu''
forces, was on Thursday elected from ~.
city, to the County Convention bv uA
jority Of Oil! Last fall Lane, ~;
PARROTS friends carried our prim.,v ~. u
ton by 100 majority-this time T.s '
Thatcher and Phillips; Lane "pD,s w.
simple" never comes before the paori.
of this city-he always unites n. I0s
abolition followers to the eneui., ofp%v
inson by giving them half the delso,so'
by which means he usually coptrol, ~
convention. In this fight, tn. ~.
was Robinson's testimony-Lsns ~
Phillips were determined to prov. ~,
Robinson's testimony before the S.o,, ,
Committee is false. That tsstimonv !;
will be remembered, was given with Il.
intention to separate John Brown and h,
abolition co-workers from the ola f.,
State and Republican parties. The So.i.
of Lanes abolition tools in tbi, corn,'
on q tie vote in the convention, proDon.'
ces Robinson perjurer Truly the nav
firm, Lane and Phillips, must feel pmri
of their brilliant victory. OF eon,,.
there were side issues that entered in,o
this contest. Some time since ball of
cotton soaked in turpentins, was thrown
into B. S. Hancock's barn. jim Ian,
went to Mrs. Hancock and told her tbna
she would permit him to sleep with her
he would give her the names of the Vi.
lains who set FIRE to the barn. OF couv
he was refused and exposed BY the lad,
Is it possible to think of anything mOn
villainous ? The story of Mrs. HancOck
is not denied-Phillips knew it, and VI
he offered the resolution in the convention
endorsing Lane for the U. S. SENATE
You doubtless remember Lanes scrsU.
with Mrs. Lindsey in 1855. He Wr
charged. by that lady. with an attempt,o
seduce her, and he did not deny it, 50
strong was the proof. Her husband At
first TIN ea.erel to shoot Jim. but finally
settled by taking his note for 800. which
note is not yet paid. Several weeks since
Lane got possession of a note Of $50,
against Mr.. Lindsey. and sued on h
fore Justice Ladd. Lindsey brought in
the 500 note as an Offset. wbsn jim
withdrew the suit. l might mention
many others of Lanes transactions, equal.
ly despicable, but it would do no gOOd.
Lane promises everybody Ofiee-lhs
same office to as many men as desire it.
and if he were to seduce 40 women every
week murder 40 of our best citizens
and cheat, and lie more than he does,
such a thing suers possible. Phillips wOuli
still insist on sending him to the SenLa
hope you will come to the LaWrsnr
Convention-Lsns & Co., swear that The
convention must repudiats RObinsOn''ts.

"While | regret that such TESTIMONY
was forced from Robinson, l nevertheless
know that it is true, and | am not certIn
that its effect on the Republican party
will be injurious, when the defense o.
johnson. which appears in this weeks
Republican. is properly placed before ih
people" - Council Grove Press.
