people Of springdale. in this county, aud
written on the ll.h Of March, By q gen.
s'emsn q, D. X. Apologize, who, on ac-
count Of the gross misrepresentation
contained in said communication, We are
sorry to say is. an iohabi,.nt Of this coun.
~. / am sorry to see such reckless mis-
statements and such istentienal misrep-
reservations made BY any one. do not
notice the article alluded to for the pur.
pose Of saying anything with reference to
the uncoush and highly immoral Ian.
guage in it, for ito self. con demnat;on in
that respect is too apparent to warrant re-
mark; and too aba.ing to elicit any; but
notice it for the purpose of correcting
statements which are publicly made and
false except in few minor points.
The writer introduces his epis,le by a
very striking comparison, thus: ~ seat
myself to give you some of the item. of
Black Republication in Cedar county
and the quinsessencc @ Of the tories of
49, l was not aware before that the
alleged conduct ('nigger stealing of the
people of Springdale was the "quin,cs.

assertions abou. Brown being at Spring.
dale "about year ago. with stolen pro.

municosive friend @ remarks tina. "on
last Tuesday the murderer Brown went
to Iowa City accompanied with some of
his Quaker cohorts" &c. Now be it un.
derstood tina. Brown va, left on this oc
cnsion, as on all others, to take care Of
himself; as he went accompanied only by
one Of his men. While there were some
that were willing to assist the negro s in
obtaining their freedom while on soil
legally termed free, there were none who
sanctioned the deprcda,ory conduc. Of
Captain Brown. And when a capture
was threatened, no one was asked to NJ

although some y uns men volunteered
And no Quakers stood in the rain a. the
correspondent writes, for understand
they were in bed Our remarkable rela-
tor also says Brown took the cars at
"Adalissa.' (swecs German accent"
this was mistake, but | suppose he
thought his variations would never come
under the eye Of those who knew the
facts. lie farther ssys: Twill give you
the name of one msu, Joseph Townson, =
sworn Justice Of the Peace who DIES no,
support the constitution Of the United
States and State Of Iows he is one tina,
takes an active part 10 this ungodly act"
This is another production Of cur CORES
pondents fertile imagination, for there i,
no man Of that name within ten mile. Of
Springda!e. There is 4 Jane, Town
send, who never was . Justice, but who
is very respectable man and good ci.i-
zen, residing near He is one of those
whose hospitality is extended to all the
human family, and We have no dosb. Mr..
Townsend would kindly entertain the
publisher ofthat libelous article, although
he would by no means consider tina. by 80
doing he was sanctioaing said publishsr's
falsehoods.
He writes to his knox county friends
that he intends to leave tina. Iowa is too
cold for him. With reference to thu.
We have only to say that We hope the
mora, political and physical atmosphere
of this State will always afford an un-
pleasant contrast with that unnatural ia.
ternal moral and physical bea. generated
by bad conduct and bad whiskey. We
will say nothing about his free use Of
such words as vsgabond," "Yillaiu,"
"rcncgste Of hell" &c, for that only
shows that he has no better dic,ion and
no better argument. He offers City @
good namos to substantiatc what he savs.
no man with good name would at
tempt to substantive such statements --
Those who know the people of Spring
dale, know that they do not sanction
Browns dcpredations--tha, they are
good citizens and enterprising, moral
people. Brown did not come to Sp,iny
dale to be with fig ting people. but the
contrary lie came there because he was
out Of money and wished to send the nc.
groes on to Canada, where they now are,
and because he supposed there were few
there who would be ofliciou. in sending
the negroes back to slavery,
The correspondent directs his language
particularly towards the Friends, who
have in their IN citing publicly expressed
their condemnation of the violent meas
ures used by Brown while in Kansas. --
We will close our communication by ask
ing our Rochester friend, how LONG it
has been siuce he got on, of the Daven-
port jail? W.
