speak out upon this business, and let us know how
it is.
There are any officers on earth who need wis
dom, discretion, prudence and sound judgment, it
is the Superintendent of State Prison. Though
Brown has something of talent for business, yet
he is lacking in all these qualifications, He has an
Unsuitable thirst for office; is very sef-conceited,
hard, overbearing and vociierous, jealous and ex-
ceedingly passionate; always acts from present
impulses, and is wholly destitute of moderation,
sound judgment and discretion. AS long as you
can keep the right side of him and crafty his pride
and ambition, he is kind and companionable; but
the moment You cross his path in the least, he is
changed into iyrant, and is iberal naughty and
saucy. | say this without the least fear of contra
dictoh from any person who knows Milton Brown,
leave it then 70: the people to say whcher
such a man should occupy the office of Supern-
tendent of that institution. have not uttered
single sentiment but what rcIigiously believe to
be true. Nor have done it in malice, bat in JUS
tico to myself, who have suffered by his injustice
and in duty to the public. And to this was ad-
vised by many respectable gentlemen in various
directions around me. Brown may equivoca,e and
ialsi(y as much as he pleases, but the people will
render their own verdict, and do me justice. And
though Brown may abuse me, yet he will find he
cannot stop my mouth nor pen, when it is my duty
to speak out. RUFUS l.. HARVEY,
