setts. MT. Army, resigning MS once OF Agent at
that Meeting, testihed that ne did not know any
thing about the arms after that time. lie in
formed the COMMITTEE that the reason the arms

Governor OF Missouri who took steps to open
the thoroaghfares Of travel, and Geary turned
the Missouri invaders back, thus making peace
The substance OF Arny's conversations wikh
Brown. in 1858, IN regard to his movements, was
that Brown proposed to locate somewhere and
run on slaves from the South, SO as to make that
Kind OF property insecure. Army testifes that
ne opposed this mode ct Interference with slave
ry. Brown said he dlsliked the lido nothing
poitcy q the Abolltionists IN the Eastern States
and said they never would effect any thing by
their mIk-and-water principles, As to the Re-
pnbiicans Brown thought they were Of no ac-
count Tor they were opposed to carrying the
war mt Afrlca-they were opposed to meddling
with slavery IN the states where 1t existed
| Brown SAID ms doctrine was TO free the slaves
ny the sword. Army wanted TO know how he
reconciied that with his Quaker peace principles
