     summary: 'My friend,' says a plain-looking countryman--no other than John Brown himself--on the outskirts of the throng, 'you talk very brave; and as you will never have a better opportunity to shoot old Brown than right here and now, you can have a chance.' As to John Brown himself, his friend F. B. Sanborn's LIFE AND LETTERS is a mine of wealth.

     summary: The _New York Herald_ of the same date, voicing the sentiment of those who actively or passively upheld slavery, alludes to the Hero as Old John Brown, the culprit, hanged for murder, etc., and states that the South was correct. I quote a notice of it from the _Boston Journal_: The writer, Dr. G.W. Brown, in slip-shod and often ungrammatical English assails the memory of Old John Brown, charges him with active participation in various bloody crimes, and abuses his biographers and eulogists.

     summary: Of Brown himself, the _Herald_ published the following sane and _restful_ paragraph: About noon Mr. John Brown, an aged gentleman from Essex County, New York, who has been a resident of the Territory for several months, arrived with four of his sons,--leaving several others at home sick, bringing a quantity of arms with him which were placed in his hands by eastern friends for the defense of the cause of freedom. Mr. Brown, who sent you here? _John Brown_:
