Old Brown, but the o,her Brown. .'Not that
man, but another man" To Wit, GEORGE
WASHINGTON Brown. G. Washington Whilli-
kens Brown is tho editor Of Democratic pa
per nicknamed the Herald d Freedom 1t is
published at Lawrence, Kansas. In its car
1ies history it was c1tinguished by the Border
Ru1fans- Its type OF portion Of it. was
thrown into the Knw River. The FREQ Suite
boys fshed it out, run it into balls, aud bat
tered down Titus fort with it. Brown charged
them about dollar pound for it! 1t was
worth some sixty cents, at the outside. 1t
was supposed that Brown had added the cost
Of composition to that part Of it which had
been made up into the forms. Tie Free state
boyz being "ahort" did rot poy the bill, So
Brown posted it to Chicago and drew on the
National Kansas Committee for tho amount
Tbs Committee didn't get good hold on the
paper, when it came round; 50 it "dopped
back and struck Brown in rital part
his pocket-and the strong man wept Brown
had better success however, in another line. Ma
ture made him bcggar. He could get money
where the blind man, with the crippled wife, aud
the deaf aud dumb children, would have gone
away hungry and penniIess. lie had the good
fortune to be taken prisoner with Robinson
Jenkins, Smith aad others, and to be confined
in military camp ucar Lccompson q few
weeka (His fellow prisoners said that he
tried to bargain with Shannon for his own
liberty on condition OF DESERVING the Free State
cause. Not being successful with Shannon,
he traded subsequently will, Walker for cash
government advertisements His fellow
prisoners said also that ho was captured ;u
the first instanee By negro, who was not SO
well armed as Brown himselE-but that is
neither here nor thcre.) Gathering up tho ac-
cunulated woes q Kansas, and dashing them
reckless}y on his own head, he came
to the Northern States on begging
tour. No mcndicant friar was ever
half 50 pessistent He established aims
houses in various quar!crs-one at Alton,
oac at Chicago, and VIC know not how many
mora. Ne only know that they were largcly
profitable; that they paid better dividends
than any newspaper III tho country, whose re-
sources were those Of printing and publishing
merely, His loss he estimated at about the
cost Of the most expensive establishment in
this city, md though he never accounted to
anybody for the sums collected from the friends
Of FREQ Knnsas, &c supposed at the time that
he got at least four prices for his demolished
Office, besides subscription list Of 10000
copies. It was after the successful esraud
here noted, that ho put in lis bill for type
which had been converted into cannon balls,
Having got all the money TINT could be real
lied On this side Of the house, lie sold out to
the pro-slavery interest at good deal less
than cost, md las since been serving his pur.
chasers in the capacity Of Cow Boz" His
precise functions in the Democratic party are,
10 pretend friendship for the Republicans and
to oppose evcything the Republicans do-to
bolt Republican nominations, to cast suspicion
on Republican candidates, and to throw cold
water on Republican policy. In pursuance Of
this arrangement, VIC found him Of Into bat
tling against the Wyandotto Constitution. In
1860 he will probably hoist the Republican
ticket and use his columns diligently for the
Charleston nominees
This person had pretty much passed out Of
tho public mind Quotations from his paper
were occasionally seen in tie Chicago TINES,
