ingly. Mr. Mison I understand that.
Brown I think I did right, and that
others will do right who interfere with you
at any time and at all times I hold that
the golden rule. Do unto others as you

Mr. V. Do you recollect a man in Ohio,
named Brown, a noted counterfeiter?
B I do ; knew him from a boy ; bis
father was Henry Brown, of IiLshor Scot

Mr Y Have you ever been in Portage

B I was there in Juno last.
Mr. V When in Cleveland, did yen
attend the Fugitive Have Law Convention ?
B No ; I was there about the time of the
setting of the Court to try the Oberlio res
cuers ; I spoke there publicly on that sub
ject ; 1 spoke on tne r ugitive slave Law.
