onor, they arrived too late. The old man had crossed the Nebraska line, and the officer in command did not dare to assume the responsibility of following him. At Tabor, in Iowa,--a little village of true friends of freedom,--the old man and his sons remained two or three weeks. This village was a colony from Oberlin, in Ohio, and contributed more money and provisions, in proportion to its population, than any other community in the Union. About the end of November, John Brown reached Chicago, and appeared before the National Kansas Committee, from whom, however, the only aid he obtained was a suit of clothes, which, although of the plainest cut and most common material, he did not like, because they were too fine, and not strong enough for a man of his simple habits and tastes. In December he was at Albany, urging on the leading friends of Kansas the necessity of more efficient action against the Southern marauders. When on his way to New York, he staid for a few days at Cl

As he could not get cash for the teams, it was decided we should remain in the neighborhood of Springdale, and that our instructor, Col. H. Forbes, should be sent on.

We remained at Pedee till about the middle of April, when we left for Chatham, Canada, via Chicago and Detroit. In this extract there are two false statements; that some warm words passed between Cook and Brown; and that there was a good deal of wrangling between the Captain, and Parsons, and Realf.

ry to take me and my company are cowards, and one man in the right, ready to die, will chase a thousand. Not less than thirty guns have been discharged at me, but they only touched my hair. A man dies when his time comes, and a man who fears is born out of time. The nation was not worthy of him. Tyranny is relentless as the grave, and its tools want a victim. Cowardice will hang him, but humanity will stand appalled at the sacrifice of such a victim to the cruel Moloch. When in Chicago, he sent his men in different directions, retaining Kagi and Stevens with him. A gentleman who conversed with him in that city thus writes to me: There is one thing he charged me to do when I last saw him. It was this: Do not allow any one to say I acted from revenge. I claim no man has a right to revenge myself. It is a feeling that does not enter into my heart. What I do, I do for the cause of human liberty, and because I regard it as necessary.
