From The Etvroyt (Ky) News.
We learn from the Russelville Herald of Wednesday
last 10y telegraph that great excitement exists In the
neipbbOIhood Of VOrey and GOrdensvlle. A negro,
be opging to of the iron works Of Tennessee who
knew something about their plan for liberty died by
who had converted with him on the subject of their
freedom He received $50 lsshes at the hands Of
white savsges too lazy to do their own work before
he expired How the people OF America can STAND oy
and zee such arocity committed in this protested land
CT liberty and that, too, against people whose only
crime lie that of seeking liberty, is more than We can
understand. Even Kentucky-how can the liberty
loving people of this State stand i'll VIII the real
producers and working men Of Kentucky suffer these
man totures to 90 unrebuked until they themselves
fall prey to theee barbarans and suffer subjugation
BY the lash and be bought and sold like the negro
whom they now shoot bang or whip to death for inc
crime of being known to possess An indepen-
dent spiritY II the white working men suffer
the black working men to be thus treated, they
must expect to share the same fate The principle
Ia tie same The white tyrant that sanctions law 10
ensave black for the sake Of gain would sanction
law to epelave the whites also for the same end, and
then cut and sash, shoot hang or whip to death all
who dared 10 talk about freedom or setgovernment.
The working classes of the Southern States are too
lboupbtees of their own doom. Man has ensaved his
feIlow.m man the world over, and In all ages without
regard to colo, when be g the 10. .n 10 So
present age, if he gets the power;
"At Cadiz, TIigg County KY, yesterday, says
The Herald Of Wednesday last "a free negro was
hung, after being tiled by the Vigilance Committee"
and that a number more are in Jail, some OF whom
will be hung"
A white man was hung not long before this for de-
popnciDg this inhumaDity to man. and another whipped
because his heart was moved with sympathy 70 r Mm
but that of love of liberty. 80,
This Fellow Freemen, is most horrd state OF things
to exist in free country. The blsck man is robbed Of
bis labor by ia~ and the white man OF his oy dresdi
and rot prees in the whole South dare proclaim the
fact save The Newport Nec, Lest some tyrant ould
cay, "Stop my paper" Both black and white, tast
labor for living viewed as animals of like calioer
and low groveli5g nature by the wealthy ma" cr"er
except that the cngng white man who reduces bis own
wages and that of bis negtbor by fondlng around the
slave master, il least respected And such % these
are used to set on chase after runaway negroes to
brir them back to work for nothing, that white men
may also be compelled to beg for job, and then, like
the negro get only enough to feed and cohe them for
it. oh, sweet institution Of Slavery on, sweet bar
bsrity Sweet brutality and murder! Sweet wealth
and poverty! Sweet Learning and sweet ignorancal
Oh, sweet trihing humanity
You that dare :ffssk out In Kentucky, let Us hear
= our voice Speak your own signatures like free
rem or ask for yourselves rope for the gallowsl
The time has come when we should know skulking
Tory from patriot of liberty; ard to know whether
we must live by acting the tyrant or die for initiating
