Tho Kansas Work of Brown.


The following sketch ofOssawotomio Brown ap-
pears in the Boston Atlas. 1t is from tho pen of
Mr.. JAS. Redpath, II well-known aboli.ionist whose
familiarity with events in Kansas during its troub

in Massachusetts; but for somo time perhaps for
several years-had lived in tho State of New York
somewhere in tho vicinity Of Utica When tho
Kansas troubles broke out he had II wife, seven
sons and daughter living. What arc left of his
family still live on his farm near Utica. At
Springfield, believe, he was engaged in tho wool
trade. Wherever he lived he so0n acquired tho
reputation of IL man of tho s,crnost integrity OF

test OF principle in our politicians. The more
corrupt The man, the more he denounced Old
Brown 1t was true compliment to be praised

IN his social dealings, he would have no connec-

character. In his camp hc permitted no proiani-

would rather have the small pox yellow fcyerand
cAocrn, all together III my camp, than man
without priuciplc." This hc said IN tho present
writer, when speaking OF some ruihanly recruits
