JOHN BROWNS CAREER IN KANSAS.

We copy from the Cincinnati Gazette the sub
Joined extract from the Kansas correspondence Of
the Indianapolis Journal 1t attracts attention
sociating the late John Brown with an atrocious
act in Kansas, concerning which there has recent
ly been some controversy in portion ofthe public
press:
A "John Brown" anti,slavery meeting was held
in Lawrence, December l6.
After some Of the speakers had lauded Brown
as a second Jesus, and one of them alluded to the
Pottawatomie massacre, which has been laid at
Johns door
Mr. Stevens said he did not believe John Brown
had anything to do with it; but there gentle
man present who could testify to that fact Name
him, name him" several called out. at is Capt.
Walker" (now sheriff of Douglas county, and one
of the bravest ofthe Free-State leaders.)
Capt Walker rose and said, "Gentlemen, there
is no use in keeping back the truth or pervert-
ing facts. John Brown told me himself that he
was present at the murder Of those men Pot
tawatomie Creek" (This startled like thunder
clap the defenders of Brown He proceeded:
81 am ready to take an oath that John Brown
made such a statement to me- | know more about
this matter than can state, especially as it would
duplicate actors in that murder some persons
now in this room. John Brown had those men in
his power and he could have kept them prisoners.
For himself he never could justify taking man
prisoner and then deliberately cutting his throat.
Old Titus, whom he took prisoner, had threatened
TO cut his throat had nsulted his wife and threat
ened her life, yet he felt justified in taking
his life"
Gov. Charles Robinson also said that he believed
John Brown bad acknowledged to him he was
present and approved of the killing of those men
on Pottawatomie creek. He had not and could
not justify the excuses committed by free-State
men after they had civil power in their hands.
Dir. Adair nephew of John Brown, ques-
toned in reference to John Browns connexion
with the Pottawatomie massacre. He said John
Brown had told him that he was present at the
killing Of those But there were palliating
circumstances connected with it.
l may add that there is question whatever,
from what have heard from persons who know
the facts, that John Brown planned and carried
out that massacre. The facts come to me from
men who stand among the most truthful of any in
Kansas. The truth is, the less Republicans lionze
Old Brown the better

SPEECH OF Hon C. BREcKENR1DGE-Vice
President Breckenridge made Speech at Frank
fort, Ky. He discussed briefly the important po-
litcal issues of the day, and assumed bold and
decided position the question ofslavery. He
would stand by the bred Scott decision, which he
fully endorsed and approved. He denied that Con-
gress possessed the power to prohibit abolish
slavery in the Territories, nor had the Territorial
Legislature any such power. He denounced sun
friendly legislation" against slavery in the Terito-
ries, and held that tile South should stand by the
laws & constitution & require the same of others.
Congress could protect slavery in the Territories,
and ought to do when necessary, though he re-
garded necessity existing at this time for the
actment of protective laws He then referred in
strong terms to the Harper's Ferry affair, and oe-
clared that the Union was Immediately endan gered
by the action of the Republican party.

THE MORMONS.

The Mormons. according, to- census, are deere
asing in Utah. In 1856 they numbered $4,000;
in 1857 only 81 ,022, and in 1853 only about 3d.,
900. They claim, however, that they are inc reas-
ing in the country at large, and in the world, and
they ascribe the diminuton in Utah to temporary
and absences. 1t is computed that there are
$4,000 in Great Britain and Ireland, and 1000 on
the continent of Europe, besides 5000 in Cana
da, 1000 in California, and several thousand in
the Eastern States and South America Altogether
they number 10000. Utah is the only place where
they practice polygamy and carry out their theo-
ries of civil government, as well as Of religion,
and it is the only place they do not increase.

b9- How fellow from the mining district was
elected to the State Legislature is related by the
Milwaukee News. The district close, the Re
publicans being dangerously numerous, so the Dem
ocratc candidate, who miner and employed
men to work in the bowels of the earth secured
the services Of ffty-three stanch Republicans
to mine in his shaft the forenoon of election day.
the understanding being that in the afternoon they
should be allowed to go to the polls. The fifty three
descended l53 feet down into the shaft, and we're
busy at work, drilling, cutting, blasting, &C.
The candidate and the employer saw them well en-
ployed, then assembled the ladder, reached the
surface, and with the help of two or three friends
in the secret, drew the ladder up after him. leaving
6fty-three Republican voters hard at work hun
bred feet below with no means of getting out till
the ladder replaced. Takingtw sections of it
to have some new rounds put in, he left for the
polls, mile distant, and when the vote was
counted at night to the surprise of his opponent,
he had forty-two majority! An hour later there
might have been seen f!ty-three able bodied men,
each one bearing lighted candle, emerging from
certain hole in the ground, like ants from vial of
molasses, profaning tearfully, and vainly seeking
for the man who pulled up that ladder" but for
two days no such man could be found. Concluding
they had been sold in earnest, after consultation
the miners agreed to charge nothing for their SER
vices, drink at their employers expenses, and let
the matter drop--but be was elected.
