This section Of tho law clearly defines
the duty Of the Executive Of Iowa IN the
easa under considerationy aud pre-
, seribes, iu clear aud distinct terms, the
course TO be pursued by him and if 1t
htsl been observed, we would now have
had this violator OF our laws in q condi-
tion to eusure his trial for the crimes
charged agHinst him. As matters now
stand, it Is barely possible that he may
be arrested and brought TO trial.

Ferry, shows most clearly that ais feel
J ings and sympsthies are warmly enlist
ed 90 the side OF John Brown and HE
criminal associates. While he unQual-
tikedIy condemns tho act, yes che cannot

bloody occurrence at Harper's Ferry"
While be does not Justify il, hs yet de-
clares il was HFeliaved, TO some extent,
/ Of its guilt, ia the minds Of many, by
the fast that the blow was struck for
/ freedom and not for slavery" and hs
further says-"While the great mass OF
our Northern people utterly condemn
| the aeE OF John Brown, they feel and
they express admfration and sympathy
1 for the aesinterestedness Of purpose by
which they belisYe be vas governed, and
! for the uaHinehing courage and calm
cheerfulness with which be met the con-
sequs snoes OF his failure"

numerous other evidences Of uufriendly
feeling, which are being exhibited dai
II By 4 large portion OF ths Northern
people, aud their representative men,
