who, when the fashionable iuror for Ger

professors and pretenders, lectured before
one of the Learned societies Of the great
metropolis. The Baron was a decided
'Materialist,' holding, as he did, that de
sing Eat was made was more superior zan

Terrible Affair in Florida-Four Res
pectable Citizens Of Tampa hung by
the Vigilants.


We received, yesterday, the following
letter from Tampa, in which is recorded
one of the greatest outrages tha! ever dis
graced country of law. We have no
personal knowledge of the writer, and the
reader will form his own opinion of its re-
liability. From recent indications frons
that quarter, we entertain but little doubt
of the correctness of his statements. We
cannot believe, however, that mere peliti-
cal hostility is sufficient to drive men to
such desperate extremities.
Touching the appeal of tbs writer fer
protection, we can only refer him to the
Governor Of Florida, whose duty it is TO
crush out, by aid of the militia, if necessa-
ry, all such diabOlical proceedings and their
authors.
TAMPA, Fla, Thursday, June "a, 1858.
DEAR SiR: The existence Of an Exec
utive Committee" at this place is doubtless
known to you; and as law abiding citizen
Of this city, feel it to be my duty to stats
certain facts to the world, with reference
TO said Committee, and ask place in your
columns for the publication Of them, as our
lite paper here, and in fact every paper in
this portion of the State, is either IN league
or fear of their vigilance and tyranny.
This morning four Of our most prominent
men, to-wit: John ]. Early, D'Witt Lucian,
Jerome Baker, and Col. ]. Alfonso Crock
EFT, were found hung TO as many trees in
the suburbs of our city. Intense excite
ment exists, and many Of our citizens are
now under arms for the protection Of law
abiding citizens, who dare TO raise their
hands against these midnight assassins.
Another remarkable feature is this, eve
ry one Of these men were members Of ths
american party" Is it proscription?-
Col. Crockett and Mr.. Early leave interest
ing families to deplore their loss, while
the death of all has east a gloom over this
community, from which it will not shortly
recover.
They were followed to the grave BY
about two hundred persons, and remarka-
ble to say, there were but two Democrats
in the conceurse, one Of whom was the seq
ton.
You may rely upon this being strictly
correct; and my excuse for thus addressing
stranger, is but that naked truths might
come to light, and these damnable assassins
may receive their just merits.
As the friend Of Americans, i ask that
you make an appeal to the General Gov
ernment FOR protection, or at least demand
an investigation.
Yours, &c., s. /. BOWEN.
