This negotiation undoubtedly exhibited both duttered a few fiery sentences, which were cheered heartily, when Dr. Robinson was called for; who is reported as having nothing to say but thaime the Free State and pro-slavery parties, under the lead of Governor Robinson on one side, and Governor Shannon on the other, met to make a treaty of peace. After Governor Robinson had stated to the people who were gathered around the hotel the terms of the peace, Brown took the He was in favor of ignoring all treaties, and such leading men as Robinson, Lane, &c., and, proceeding at once against the border ruffian inv

le valiantly declaring that they would fight first, rather than submit to ignominious terms, and receiving from Governor Shannon the very courteous, and patriotic answer, Then war it is, by God! took no efficient measures for defence, and determined to offer no resistance. John Brown, Junior, marched back to Ossawattomie; but ere he reached it and disbanded, his father, with a company of seven men, left his camp, and began in right earnest the war of liberty. Meanwhile, Messrs. Reeder, Robinson, and others, urged to it by the Congressional Committee, had fled; but, excepting Reeder, were overtaken, arrested, and imprisoned on a charge of high treason. Their crime consisted in accepting office under the Free State Constitution ; save one, an editor, whose offence was the publication of a Free State journal. He subsequently sold himself to the Federal Administration. On the 5th of May, the two Free State papers in Lawrence, and a hotel erected by the Emigrant Aid Company; as

enty-five miles they thus suffered under this outrageous inhumanity. Nor was this all. John Brown, Jr., who had been excited by the wild stories of murder told against his father, by their enemies, and who was of a sensitive mind, was unable to bear up against this and his treatment during the march, and afterwards, while confined in camp, startled his remorseless captors by the wild ravings of a maniac, while he lashed his chains in fury till the dull iron shone like polished steel. Mrs. Robinson, whose husband was detained at any on a charge of high treason, thus describes the arrival of John Brown, Jr., in their camp:-- On the 23d June, the prisoners received an accession to their numbers in the persons of Captain John Brown, Jr., and H. H. Williams, likewise dignified with the name of traitors. The former was still insane from the ill-treatment received while in charge of the troops. . ..

t me with a peculiar expression in the eyes, as if struck by the word, and in a musing manner remarked, Abortion!--yes, that's the word. He then spoke of Governor Robinson's actions as being of a weather-cock character, and asked if it was true that Colonel Phillips had written his first two messages to the Topeka Legislature. y, declaring it a deception to which no one should lend himself. I replied that Phillips had done for the best without doubt; that the Free State men had placed Robinson in the position, and that they must sustain him in it. The Captain answered shortly, All nonsense. No man has a right to lend himself to a deception. Phillips had no business to write the messages. Robinson must be a perfect old woman. John Brown, sir, would, if he was Governor, write his own documents, if they contained but six lines. Kagi interposed, and made some remarks, which calmed down the Captain, and the conversation became more general. The conviction was expressed t

urt to put the prosecution upon their election, as to one of the three, and bar us from investigation of the two others, although they relate to facts involved in one grand fact. Notwithstanding the multiplicity of duties devolving upon the prosecutor and assistant prosecutors, yet we have found time to be guarded and careful in regard to the mode of framing the indictment. It is my work, and I propose to defend it as right and proper. He then proceeded to quote Chitty's Criminal Law and Robinson's Practice, to prove that the discretion of the Court there spoken of, in reference to the furthering of the great object in view, was the attainment of justice. Where the prisoner is not embarrassed in making his defence, this discretion is not to be exercised by the Court, and no case can be shown where the whole ground of the indictment referred to one and the same transaction. This very case in point would show the absurdity of the principle, if it were as broad as contended for by hi
