The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-06-13
From an Eastern Stand Point.

We stated in another place that we
have received several letters censuring
CJsas. Robinson for bringing our private
matters before the public. At the risk of
incurring the censure of the writer, who
wrote us privately, we venture to make
the following extracts. The writer is a
/ gentleman of acknowledged ability, who
spent the last year in Kansas, was familiar
with our difficulties, and who wrote as he
felt from knowing the whole he wrote
was true. At another time we may be in
duced to publish a rather caustic letter
| from a person of prominence, dated at
/ Albany, n. Y, in similar strain. The
letter now published, we withhold the
I signature, merely because it would be a
/ breach of confidence to use it, since, as
we have stated, the letter was for our pri-
vate ear. He SAYS
GEO. w. Brown, Eso.-MY DEAR SIR:
Is your power press under way yet? l
have no doubt that when you get it fairly
started, it will facilitate your business so
as to give You more time for relaxation
and rest, which, think, would materially
promote your intellectual, physical and
moral enjoyment. Let me ask YOU, for
| your own sake, to secure these to some
extent at any price, and let me remind
/ you that YOU cannot last at the rate YOU
are working. Your health must eyentu-
ally give way under it. The cause of
Freedom in Kansas, of which you are the
chief exponent, does not now require at
your hands this sacrifice; nor, were I in
your place, would l make it. You have
done much and suffered much already for
nothing! When | say .foa. nothing, mean
! for the thankless crowd of demagogues
who have overrun Kansas, and cursed her
by their presence. l trust the infiowing
tide of emigration will drown them in
their own insigniicance. Kansas has
more to fear non fran deanagogues than from
slareTy. | sincerely trust that the intelli-
gence of the embryo State will rise in its
might, and at the proper time annihilate
both causes at once. But your labors.
your sacrifices have not been in vain; and
though the rabble may howl at the expo
sure of Its llow-heartedness, the think
ing people in Kansas and elsewhere will
do honor to your efforts for her good. so
long as those efforts are characterized by
honesty of intention, and fearlessness in
carrying them out.
This reminds me Of letter of the spe-
cial correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune.
in which he reports Gov. Robinson to
have charged you with willingness to sell
the Free State party to the Ruffians last
Summer, for the purpose of securing your
own liberation. | have more faith in
your manhood than to believe this infa-
nous assertion. 1t is bad time for Rob
inson to drag his personal dislikes into
political speech. His antagonism to voa
being known, it reflects no credit upon
his reputation for political sagacity, while
its force will be diminished by his known
curious hatred Of you. Such SANDER can
do you no harm-it is loathsome SER
pent which will sting himself only, and
die.
Keep on in your course. Publish pa
per, the tone and temper of whose col
umns, week after week, will give the lie
TO this SANDER, and your thousands of
subscribers will sustain you. There is
evidently plot on foot to destroy the
usefulness of the H. of F. by continued
thrusts upon You. As an outsider, | can
see it in the tone of the letters of the
seventy-dollars-a-week correspondents of
the dailies of the East. Nail each lie TO
the head of your paper, as the broker
nails the counterfeit coin to the counter.
as warning to others.
