and tang lit from childhood to look wlti
abhorrence upon what ia falsely styled 4*h
oode of hooor1' among gtatlemen. H
hesitated not however, but snatohing u
bis peo hastily wrote the following reply
To Mr. Joseph Brown,?Sir, I- respect
fully dolioc the proffered honor of fight
ing you; because, first, I do not admi
v your right to call me to account for }an
guage used in the Court room in th
prosecution of my duty; especially when
did not leave the Hne of my duty to a annul

Frank Ki.ton.
Flending this note to the friend c
Brown he said, '* Take back my suswer t
your friend sir, and let me bear no tnor
from hiru." "Then you refuso to nee
hioi?" ?You hare iny answer, goo
morning." Frank dialikcd the affair ver
much, he felt sure he had dyne his duty
and uo more, both in his speech and in d<
lining the challenge, but he knew win
the sentiment of many persons was on thi
subject, and expected to bo injured to soin
extent by his course, still he did not r<
gret taking that course. His father an
Stantou being both at court he took thor
to hit room and told them what had happen
d, the old gentleman approved it; bu
Stanton was a bold 6ery fellow and ooul
rot at 6rst agree with thru, in the hce

wd wreoared a challenge for Brown. I
Yora a friend was found t
1 ' H^wen the purtie
arranged, for Siauvy*. and expressly base
bis challenge upon the ground of champ
ionnhip, for Frank, whose rcligou* seni

that he had acted hastily but said he couh
not without dishonor, now withdrse
Frank waa anga red in court and old Mi

It seem* that at tba recent Convention of
one of the many wing* ot this party, there
were delegate* present from several Soathern
State*- Kentucky, Tennessee, and even olu
Virginia were disgraced by beiag me.de parties
to it* proceedings. Of count we are satisfied
that the people of these States are, aa a mesa,
sound upon the great issne* of the day. but it
is mortifying to see that even a corporals guard
can be ton ml in o?r midst, rcetiy to take side*
with the greatest enemies to owv domestic
peace and happiness. S?n ImmI sssst be be
who after dwelling among as and enjoying the
benefit* of oar institutions, should now turn
upon his lirethsrn and let ia upon them the
hordes of Abolition incendiaries. The treason
of Arnold is M a whit more odious then that
of bouthrm citixen* who, nt such a time as
this, join with detected fitnaties to tramfftc
upon the sacred rights of their fallow coua
