Nebraska "A Slave Territory.

Outrages on the part of the slave power
thicken upon US, and, IL the North shall sui
NIT TO them, there will be no hope for the
Republic.
The free soil Of Kansas is cursed by thu
tread Of the slave. Blu. we have been told,
asifthat co uld p:lliate the monstroas wrong.
"Nebraska will escape; human chattelism
cannot exist there" Yet even that free
soil is now polluted by slavery.
Listen to the following from the Nebras-
ka Nems Of the 10Th:
NEGROES FOR SALE AT THIS PLACE
We call attention u the advertisement OF
Negroes for sale, which appears in another
column. A company Of gentlemen from
Missouri. whp have lsrg. interests here.
have imported them for the benefit OF our
young and growing city. Nebraska city is
now about twice or three times larger III IN
any other town il the Territory. Help is
much needed and but little to be had, f'r this
reason Slave labor Is required. We are
authorized t. state that the same company
have twenty more in Missouri, which will
be brought to Nebraska City, if sufficient in
dGcements are held out.
The advertisement referred to is in the
regular Southern style. II is adorned with
cuts-we regret to have none to show its
exact order and runs thus:
FIVE NEGROES FOR SALE AT NE
DRAsKA CITY.

No Louisville or ST. Louis Journal would
dare brng editorially over this internal traf-
hcwhere the Law permits it; no right mi nd
ed S luthron would rejoice, as does this
Michigan Editor over the Introduction Of
Slavery upon soil dedicated by God and our
Faith RS 10 Freedom. II would require in
Kansas or anywhere else. a Combination Of
heir,lt.ss slave traders and scoundrel dough-
faces 10 p"rpetrlte 50 fonl deed. Bat it
is done. Slavery j. planted in Nebraska,
AMI the laugh OF maniac folly halls it as a
triumph.
The tact is enough u start the blood OF
Freeme ~. and stir them up 10 any pitch o.
resistance. For where is this Slave Policy
To end In what despotsm will it not
merge ! Talk not TO US about the black
race. Tell us not, in every mockery ai
Justice and of God, that only they who are
e. for b ,ndlge ar, to be held as bondsmen.
The soil solemrlv defeated 10 Freedom is
POI u'ed, and the ch,ins are now forging
which will seek to fetter the free .laborer
a. serf or slave, if the North does not snap
the links and hurl the Slave Power down,
