by promise of future favor, to slandel

Browns letter:
LAwREScE, May IL, 1851.
Col. BREwERros By the next Herald
of Freedom you viii observe that a Sc
we're fight has sprung up between Chas
Robinson and myself, Robinson charging
me with an attempt to sell out the party
to Gov. Shannon, on condition of my
being released from prison.
/ wish you to bear in mind the frmDess
1 exhibited at Wesport, and my frank
ness, at all times. in avowing my senti-
ments when surrounded by what appeared
great personal danger. l wish you to
converse with Gov. Shannon, and you
will get frank denial of anything of the
character having transpired between my
self and Shannon. By articles in my
paper | think you viii observe evidence
of disposition to sell out on the othsS
side. Place me under obligations to
by presenting Chas Robinson before the
public as he is. The day Of his admin
istration has closed in Kansas. He stands
convicted of being an unmitigated liar.
and when the evidence shall be closed he
will appear before the American people
as the fruitful cause of much of the strife
and contention which has deformed our
goodly country.
Watch the Developments tell the facts
in regard to him, and any favor l can
render yon in return. consistent with my
position as Free State man, or which
you will demand as gentleman, is at
your service.
Very respectfully yours, G. w. BRowS.
Brewerton, though hating Robinson as
all pro-slavery men there do, is too cum
ming to be caught He even seizes the
occasion after the wellknown practice of
the New York Herald, to claim credit
for honesty and impartiality. From his
long letter in reply, we make the follow
ing extracts; they serve to show his Pc
litical views:
"In the first place, whilst reiterate
my desire to serve you, l must be allow
ed to state that it is utterly out of my
power to make my letters to the press,
the medium of personal attack upon
any individual, however obnoxious in a
political point Of view. As the Special
Correspondent of the New York Herald
in Kansas, it is my duty 10 supply that
journal with current news-indeed my
instructions confne me to such matters
solely, and were it otherwise, / have no
right, and less desire, to prostitute my
pen to the injury of any man in his pri-
vate capacity. Moreover, know too
little of Doctor Charles Robinson as an
individual, to comment u pom his personal
character. His political course and opin-
ions are public property, aud you cannot
disapprove Of them more strongly than
myself"
"And now, sir, having fully replied
to your letter, permit me to express my
surprise that, with your avowed belief in
relation to the political course of so dis
tinguiShed q leader of the Republican
party as "Governor" Charles Robinson.
you should continue the publication in
the Herald of Freedom, of history of
past difficulties which are not only deep
ly to be regretted, but have now become
perfectly northeastern as basis for a
rotten and law-defying political organi-
cation. Sir, the revival of such memo
ries at the present juncture, can serve no
good purpose, and may do much HARM"
From the coarse tone of Browns let.
ter, it might be supposed that he desired
to provoke duel; but though brave
looking man, six feet high. he is known
in the Territory as the biggest coward
in Kansas"
