The JOHN Brown INvAsIoN-The Boston
correspondent of the Woonsocket Patriot, who
appears to be well posted upon matters and
things in general in that locality has the
following in that paper of yesterday, which
seems to convey the impression that there are
some men in Massachusetts who are supposed
to know something of the plans and prepara-
tons of old "Ossawottomie Brown" for the
seizure of Harper's Ferry who do not intend
TO respond Nth alacrity to the summons of the
senatorial committee to give their testimony
in the case -
cit is said that several of our fellow citizens
are to be summoned before the Congressional
Investigating Committee upon the John Brown
invasion Doubtless some of them will go ;
but am credibly informed that there are 9TH
ers who will refuse to obey the summons, and
who have not the slightest idea of risking
their lives or liberty in any of the Barbary
states of America, just at present. 1t is as
serted by those who have examined into the
law, in such cases made and provided, that
witness so summoned, is obliged to testify un-
der oath, even though it should criminate him
self; and that his refusal to testify, even under
circumstances like these, will result in fine
of a thousand dollars and years imprison-
mcnt; and that if the witness escapes these
penalties, by eliminating himself, he is liable
to be committed at once, to the tender mercies
OF the executive and judiciary of the state of
Virginia! OF course, no intelligent tcitnesS
would feel especially anxious to go to Wash
ington under such circumstances and for one,
your correspondent would not be surprised to
see something very like conflict of jurisdic.
tons" upon Massachusetts soil, before many
days have passed by.
The life and death of John Brown have
demonstrated how strong are the latent SYM
pathies of our people with true and genuine
courage. do not believe the martyrs are all
dead; neither do / believe there will not be
speedy occasions TO test the fortitude and he
roism Of other descendants Of the Pilgrims.
