Brutus spares Antony because he doesn't want to further inflame the populace, and thinks that Antony, as Caesar's friend, can make the citizens understand why Caesar was killed. However, he has underestimated Antony, who turns his speech from one of support for the assassins to one that sets Rome against them. Antony reinforces his position of power in Rome and Brutus must flee.

What does Marcus Brutus like to do?
This is not a question to which you can give a simple answer. Brutus was a friend - there were even rumours that he was Caesar's illegitimate son. This is why Caesar says, "Et tu, Brutus" - "Even you, Brutus", because he finds it hard to believe that Brutus, of all people, would stab him. The point is that Brutus has become convinced that Caesar might be plotting to make himself emperor, or encouraging the people of Rome to "force" a crown on him. Brutus passionately believed in the old Roman Republic - in the play he is often seen as a model of the virtues of Republican Rome. One of those virtues is the defence of Rome against would-be conquerors or against anyone trying to rule Rome with a crown on his head. So when Brutus is convinced that Caesar is trying to become Emperor, he is persuaded that there is no way to stop this political disaster except the death of Caesar, whose popularity, wealth, cunning and army will overcome all other means of stopping him. Think of it as the relationship between an uncle and a favourite nephew, where the nephew has been persuaded by senior establishment figures that if Freedom is to be Preserved, Uncle Caesar must die. It is a measure of the nobleness of Brutus's nature (as the Romans saw it) that when he sees this disaster as almost inevitable, he knows that even breaking the bond between friends and between mentor and pupil, has to come second to the good of Rome. The feelings of Brutus the man, have to be replaced by the feelings of Brutus, the defender of the Republic, and Caesar has become an enemy to the Republic. This is also why the rest of the conspirators (especially Cassius) want Brutus as part of their coup d'etat. If the rest of the Romans believe that Brutus judged it necessary to kill Caesar, then they might believe that the whole plot was justified. So Brutus's closeness to Caesar is politically essential to the plotters, and - of course - makes Brutus's decisions that much more gripping for the audience at the play.

Well Cassius wants Brutus on his side, not only because Brutus was good friends with Caesar, but because Brutus is a very noble and loyal person that everyone wants on their side.

The letters were said to be written by citizens telling Brutus that they envy him and do not want Caesar to become King, they would rather have him.
