SIR Your letter of the 25th, having been
missent to Harrisonburg, Virginia, was not re-
ceived until this morning. OF all the desper-
ADDE'S to whom you refer, not man, so far as
can learn, was citizen OF PennSy ylvaaia; nor
was their rendezvous, (Which you say was un-
obstructed by guards or otherwise,) IN this
State, bat IN Maryland or Virginia. In rela-
ton to them, Pennsylvania has done her duty.
Virginia has no right to anticipate that she will
not do SO in the future. The information you
have received in regard to conspiracy to res
cue John Brown, will, undoubtedly, be found,
in the sequel, utterly and entirely without
foundation, so far as Pennsylvania is concerned.
Nor will we permit any portion oil our terrific
ry, along our borders, or elsewhere, to be made
depot, rendezvous, or refug e, for lawless
desperadoes, from other States, who may seek
to make war upon our southern nelghbors..
