G. w. BROWN VS.. JOHN BROWN.

referred, when alluded to the traitor, to g. w.
Brown of Lawrence, the Editor of the now infamous
Herald of Freedom. To those who know him it is
not surprising that he should vilify John Brown 1t
is the common saying in Kansas that he would SANDER
his wife, editoray for ten cents line provided that
you paid him in advance for columns worth.
His history since he first appeared in Kansas demon
strates that the bitter satire is deserved.
He went out under the auspices Of the three most
prominent members of the Emgrant Aid Company,
from whom he borrowed practically honor)
s2,000-a debt which now, taking advantage of
legal bubble, be coolly repudiates and denies.
When first he started his journal in Lawrence, he
was fiery Abolitionst: none appeared so determined
TO resist all aggressons from the South TO bloody
issue" he: wrote so much or wrote so vehem-

tribe of Brown in Kansas The most cowardly Of the
prominent in Kansas, whether as respects moral
physical courage, by his articles in The Herald o.
Freedom, safely written beyond the scenes oil danger
they portrayed-he even acquired in the East the
reputation OF of undaunted spirit.
But Time, the greater Iconocast, soon destroyed
this his false reputation.
Arrested as he was sneaking under cover of night
into Kansas, from Missouri, by negro slave and one
Border Rufian, although he had thirysx shots on his
person-six loaded revolvers-he was taken to Le-
compton and here retained on charge OF high treason
and there, now first tested, be showed spirit so das
tardly and craven that he incurred the contempt Of
every fellow-prisoner, and even offered to Governor
shannon fhe would procure the pardon ofhese royal

spurned the craven offer; and thereby incurred
Browns hatred. How Brown G. W. avenged him
self for this conduct, the files of The Herald for
year or two showed. lie slandered him as fouly as
he now ISLANDERS John Brown.
Indeed, since his imprisonment at Lecompton, there

in them they remind of Gabriel Ravels tight

Thus although editing an Administration organ,
Brown puts at the top of his editorial column as ms
Presidential candidates. the names OF chase and BANKS
In these same columns he advocated the election OF
johnson over Parrots endeavored 10 defeat the wy
andot Constitutions and opposes, with the feulest ana
most unfounded ISLANDERS, the inevitable success OF M
f. Conway, the able, overture, and eloquent hepuo
lican candidate for Congress.
He deserted the Republican party, (which re-pur-
chased his press and Office after the ruhans had de,
stroyed them) as soon he found that the Federal
Governors would pay him for his services; ana mas
snccessiyey been the mouthpece and parasite of Shan
non, Geary Walker Denver, and Sam Medary, as
against the acknowledged Free State leaders.
For denouncing Tux NEw YORK TRIBUNE and SIAN
derng s senior editor he received as the records at
Washington show remuneration at the rate OF four
dollars line.
Every one in Kansas knows these facts, and every
one understands why he nails up the names OF
Chase and Banks. AS an avowed Democratic paper,
The Herald of Freedom would be useless as an ally TO
the Administration. 1t is only as pretended Repubil-
can journalist that he can exert any influence IN 1avor
of the Democracy. do not say that q: w: Brown Is
Democrat; he is only hlrelDS-an edtorlai o"iss-
ready for any service that pays.
This them is the man who now comes forward to
urge Virginia 10 execute Old Brown. lie never dared
TO SANDER the old man free; but now-wounaeu' con
demned to die prisoner in southern Jail-he thinks
he may do so with IMMUNITY. No doubt ne Is well PAID
for his fiendish FALsEHooDs. The South If eager ior

bodied heroism. Ii feels that John Brown is by lar
the orandest man now on its slave-cursed SOIL It's wit

WAYS to admit the fact. Governor Wise, bestridlng
the venerable ass Virginia, went out, Ike Balaan, 10
curse these chosen people; but Virginia saw the angel
of the Lord in the old mans heart and II spake there
of and the unwilling Wise unconsciously blessed the
defeated but brave Liberators HIS admissions amount
10 a blessing the cause.
But John Brown must die; IT ia NECESSITY OF
Slavery that he should perish the scaiold Slavery
and heroism cannot live together.
" Jove made II certain tnet tne Gay
Maize man a slave takes hall his worth away" ,
saws Homer; and Jove made it equally certain that
where Slavery exists the truest manhood must PERISH
that the manifestations of its attributes must be pro-
