the subjoined extract from the Kansas cor
respondent of the Indianapolis Jounal I,
will attract attention as associalny John
Brown with an atrocious act in Kansas con.
cerning which there has been some contro.
versy in a portion of the public press:
LAWRENCE, Kansas, Dec. II, 1859.
A "John Brown" anti slavery meeting
was held in Lawrence, last evening, Decem-
Der l6.
After some Of the speakers had lauded
Brown as a second Jesus Christ, and one of
them had alluded to the Pottawalamie mas
sacre, which has been laid at Browns door:
Mr.. Stevens said he did not believe John
Brown had anything to do with it; but
there was a gentleman present who could
testify to the fact. "Name him. name him, y
several called out. 1T is Capt. Walker,
(now Sheriff of Douglas county, and one OF
the bravest of the Free State leaders
Capt. Walker rose and said "Genlemen
there is no use in keeping back the truth OF
pervelting facts. John Brown told me him
self that he was present at the mur.ler OF
those men on Pottawatamie Creek" This
startled like a thunder clap the defenders OF
Brown.) He proceeded: Il 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
impllcate as actors in tha: murder some per
sons 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 a man prisoner and then
deliberately cutting his throat. Old Titus
whom he took prisoner, had threatened to
cut his throat, and insuted his wife and
threatened her ife yet he never felt justified
in taking his life when his prisoner"
Gov. Charles Robinson also said that he
believed John Brown had acknowledged to
him he was present and approved of the
killing of those men on Pottawatamie
Creek He had not and could not Justify
the excesses committed by Free State men
after they had the civil power in their hands
DR.. Adar, a nephew of John Brown, was
questioned in reference to John Browns con
nection with the Pottawatamie massacre
He said John Brown had told him that he
was present at the killing of these men,
But there were palliating circumstances con
nected with it,
may add that there is no question what
ever, from what have heard from pei sons
who knew the facts, that John Brown plan
ned and carried out the massacre. The
facts come to me from men who stand among
the most truthful of any in Kansas. The
truth is, the less Republicans lionize Old
Brown the better. KANSAS.

TRANCE us from the democracy of
our sister states, and which can
only result disastrously to Iowa.
In contrast with the action of
our State Convention it affords us
unspeakable pleasure to be able
to point them to the position of
the Connecticut democracy, who
have laid down a platform that will re-
deem their State. In obedience to the
dictates ofthe disappointed officcseek-
ers of State Convention, we shall 60 be-
fore the people next fall uniting with
the assailants Of the Democratic party,
from the mildest shade Of Republicans,
down to the blacklist and most criminal
Of John Browns sympathisers, either
denouncing the past four years of Demo-
cratic Administration or else begging
and beseeching Of all persons of all
political crecds the most studied silence
in reference to it. A pretty position
truly for the $4,000 Democr ats ofIowa
to occupy, and one which we predict
not one in one hundred of them will ap-
preciate when it is fully understood.

DISEASES OF THE CHEST AND
LUNGs.-Thcse diseases are to we'll
known to require any description. How
many thousands are every year carried
to the silent grave by that dreadful
scourge Consumption, which always
commences with a slight cough. Keep
the blood pure and healthy by taking
few doses of Judson's Mountain Herb
Pills each week, and disease ofany kind
is;impossible. Consumption and Lung
difficulties always arise from particles
Of corrupt matter deposited in the air
cells by bad blood. Purify that stream
of life and it will very soon carry off
and destroy the poisonous matter; and
like crystal river flowing through .
desert: will bring with it and leave
throughout the body the elements of
health and strength. As the river lea
wing the elements Of fertility in its
course, causes the before barren waste
to bloom with flowers and fruit, 20 pure
blood causes the frame to rejoice in
strength and health, and bloom with un-
fading beauty.
Judson's Mountain Herb Pills are
sold by all Medicine Dealers.

STA TIE CONVENTION.


STATE CONVENTION.
Our State Convention hag gone
to the extreme folly of asserting
that the Cincinnati Platform
"when interpreted in accordance
with the opinions Of Hon. S. A.
Douglas affords an amicable solu-
ton of the distracting troubles of
the country"
It seems to US a better way to
interpret the Cincinnati Platform
as you would all other instruments
Of writing, by its language, rath-
er than by the opinions of any
man.
In fact the CINCINNATI Platform
is no longer the platform of the
democracy Of Iowa. They have
in State Convention assembled
solemnly declared that Judge
Douglas is the only reliable ex-
ponent of democratic principles;
that he is the embodiment Of all
that is democratic.
In Henry Clay was the
embodNleneof Wing principles
and according to the resolutions
of the PES MONIES Convention,
Stephen A. Douglas is the only
living embodiment of democracy.
If the Ruler Of the Universe in
his infinite wisdom were pleased
to take from us the illustrious
senator from Illinois the great
democratic party would dissolve
as did the old Wing party after
the death of Henry Clay, for then
VIC should have none upon whose
DEGREES to base sound interpreted
ton Of our National platform.
Out upon all such toadyism. If
Judge douglas is the Charleston
nominee he will have our most
earnest support. Whether he is
the best man is to be determined
by that convention and we will
cheerfully abide by its decision.
But we do protest against PIN
ming the democracy of Iowa. to
any mans coat tail; to blindly
giving our political consciences
into the keeping ofany man. We
protest against ignoring all the
eminent statesmen of the party,
and compelling all followers in
the democratic camp to burn in
cense under any mans nose.
Against the condemnation by
the democracy gifts own Admin.
istration, whether at the instance
of disappointed oficc-seekers, o,
other malignant foes of the Presi.
dent, we deem it our duty to pro
test.
Two of the wise and prudential
maxims Of the democratic party
has ever been principle. no
men, and to "stand by the Ad
ministration."
Now it seams that men no
principles are supreme, and tina
instead of rallying around ane
sustaining our administration W
must DO all we can to cripple it
The failure of the State Conven
ton to endorse the administration
we consider an outrage ounparal
leled in democratic conventions
aud one that will do much to es
