In your issue yesterday. ! notice q let
ter from James Redpath, in which he SAYS
he mas denied my statements before the
Senate COMMITTEES, under oath, leach and
every enc Of hess,'' and various other
things which 1 do not care to mention in
detail. Isimply desire to say that have
read his letter carefully through, and fail
ed to find single truth in it, so far as it
relates to myself and matters Of which
have any knowledge. But do not pur-
pose to handy words with Mr.. Redpath
or any Of the gentlemen named in my
testimony. / know from past experience
that I would be set upon by the whole
pack, and that they would Gil every Re-
publican press in the country, to which
they have access, with their bowls. ]
have long known from other scources Of
information than Mr.. RedpAtRs state
ments to me, while he sought my house as
q place of refuge from Mr.. Lane, after
his attack upon that person in his Cru
ssder," that whoever crossed their path,
would have the vials of their wrath pour
ed out upon him without stint but they
have already learned, or soon will learn.
that occasionally q person can be found
who is willing to state what he knows to
be true. even though they do dislike it.
For myself, I have been killed off and
anhihilatsd so often by these men, that
the process of dying is rather pleasant
than otherwise, and / therefore make no
complaint. If = large portion of the
people of Kansas did not know that my
testimony is substantially true without
taking my word for it, the case might be
somewhat different; but, as it is, l can
afford to bear the consequences of presu-
ming to say q word, without asking their
leave, with cheerfulness.
Mr.. r. is mistaken also when he sup
poses l thought he would not turn up.
! was well aware that be had not finished
his work in this countryside forcible alb
clifton Of slavery by means of insurrec-
tions-snd / had no idea that he had
gone. or would go. to England, till all the
madmeu were dead who can be influenced
BY him or his colleagues to put their necks
in the halter. for the profit or amusement
of these HISTORIANS" Mr.. Redpath's res
idence is Maiden, Mass, and he is ready,
as usual, to make any kind of statements,
to order, for which Lane or Phillips care
to send. All they have to do is to send
the dimensions of the lie, and it will be
forthcoming. A snug home in Maiden,
Mass. is an excellent arrangement for a
professional insurrectionist. No place
could be more secure for a man in that
profession. Mr.. R. is detailed to be the
historian Of these instructions, he may
as well be in Massachusetts, as Virginia.
Whatever else may be said of him, he
certainly is to be commended for his good
Judgment in selecting so safe place as
Massachusetts, for his country seat, and in
detailing himself as historian. by which
an honest penny or two may be turned in
his neck stretching enterprise.
In answer to the report of the proceed
ings of meeting at Baldwin City. in
your paper of same date, ask as an act
of justice, that you publish a communi-
cation from myself to the Estate Record. -
upon that subject. which will appear in
the next Issue of that paper.
Very truly, G. RoBNsoN.
