Brutal Treatment Of n MaSSRchu-
sctts N1an In Alabama.

sctts MAN In Alabama.
Mr.. William J. Brewster, young maj
belonging IN Kingston, Mass, was r. cent,
driven from Alabama under very aggrvat
ing circumstances. Mr.. Brewster had beer
requested TO take charge Of school a
Somerville in that State, and procrcde,
thin,lcr for that purpose. He was ho.pii
ably received at Ealkermoso, Aala., and in
troduced from that place TO Somerville
The Trustees of the Academy ratified an,
confirmed his appointment; but the very
first morning after his arrival there, wher
he was about to enter upon his duties, let

ing of the inhabitants Of Somerviile wa.
held, in which Judge William II. Campbell
and Mr.. Lawyer Patterson were prominent
and by vote Of the meeting he was notified
to leave the place before noon.
While he was seeking for conveyance
his trunks were searched, and a letter from
Charles Summer, three years old, having
been found, among letters from Lewis Cass
and others, new excitement was created.
All conveyance was denied him, and he was
forced to walk eight miles under burning
sun TO Nalkermoso; nor was this all he
was pursued and overtaken on his walk by
three mounted citizens-Charles England,
his son, and Thomas ii. Morrow-who
abused him and by brute force threw him
into pond. He arrived sick and exhausted
at Valkermoso, whose Christian and hospit-
able inhabitsuts refr ,shed him and urged
him TO stay ; but he thought best to pursue
his journey homeward with all convenient
speed, and arrived here two or three days
since. Mr.. Brewster's expulsion took place
on the 9th inst. Statements above given
are confirmed by Southern papers of a later
date.
The Charleston Courier prints the letter
of the two Charleston citizens to COL Rath-
err, in which they avow themselves personal
ly unknown 10 him, and avow further that
they do not even know the name of the in
dividual whom they denounce, and that they
have never seen him; but they denounce
him on the authority of a passenger in the
steamship, who refused TO allow them the
use of his name. The Advertiser. from
which we condense these statements, SAYS:
"Mr. Brewster is perfectly sure that dur
ing his stay at the South he never spoke of
slavery. or any topic incidental TO its discus
sion and had determined to pursue this in
offensive course of non-interference during
the whole period of his engagement there"
This outrage is pertinent commentary
on the following extract from Mr.. Yancey's
recent speech in Faneuil Hall. 1t occurred
in Mr.. Yancey's own State, and not very
far from the town in which he resides:
"You go with your labor where you
please"

gers. We have plenty Of Northern men in
our city; we have merchants and mechanics
in Montgomery, and we have men who deal
in shoes and hats and other good from New
England who are honered and respected
citizens with ourselves. They do not try to
steal our property and they stay"
We present this most recent illustration
OF the brutalizing effect of the peculiar in
stitution," for the consideration Of those
men who received so enthusiastically the
Southern orator at Faneun Hall. We ask
those laboring men who were so carried
away by the eloquent words of the orator
as TO applaud him where he told them how
much better off his ''niggcrs" were than them.

We are informed that Mr.. Brewster, who
is as we have said a gentlemen of ability and
character, will address the Republicans Of
South Boston and other places during the
present week.
Another "Burbarism Of Slavery.
The Chicago Press and Tribune has a
letter from Mr.. Frederick Amther, who was
recently driven out of Texas on some friyo-
lous pretense. He gives the following ac-
