NEBRASKA CIrY, Feb. 10, 1861.
| DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER: When got ba& from
Wisconsin some had told them that was asla-
ried " niger thief" 20 was taken the very might

by ten twelve rufans, striped bare, tied 10 tree
a rope put around ing neck and ocer limb andIold
that had got TO Town mp or be whipped to DEATH
| tried 70 reason with them, but they were
| full of whisky, and Of course 1t did no good.
They cut q whip eigM ten feet long tcrotched),
and then set one man to pull up the rope, and
another TO apply the forked gad nth both hands until
II ras used up entirely, and then gave me chance 10
own up again. / told them they conld probably
extor anything they wished 10 by whipping long
enough, but that US long ] had my senses conld
tell them nothing different from what 1 had. They
got another CAD then and used it up in the same ways
put fresh hand ut IT, Of course this time, whether TO
divide the honor 10 multiply the pain could NOS
determine, probably the latter. Thanks 70 kind human
naiure, II refu,edto feel the most ef e last ffty,
they called IL. TIE three thai did the whipping and
choking strangers The others stood OF al dis
lance and az IL between aud ii o'clock III tue

They tried 10 frigten me with their revolvers, and
tia, had hold Of the rope after they had concluded
and, with great gravity and sternness said: Now,
Cd d-n you, own mp, or VIII blow pour ID
brains ont They caught bold Of him and held biz Ps
,ol Then he swore he wsnld break my neck, and
then erked up the rope, but they at length united
me, not, however until had promised 10 leave and
stay away, which is not hard to do. TIE charge Of
Aboliiiopist was a base fabrication, got up by one
or that were owing me, TO get rid OF paying.
Now hope there may be civil ~ar-anyihing for
an excure for me 10 20 into Missouri 70 hunt some Of
those bloodhounds but will hold my temper.
The Enex County Republicans says Of this case:
Now, in the name Of God and outraged humanity,
we ask how long Free born citizens Of this Repub
lie 10 suffer such ndigni,es, Are men, or slaves,
submit quietly any helish outrage which these
Slavery rnfans may see BIT TO nf,ct on our SOILS OF
dugbters II manhood il entirely gone, then
in Heavens let demand redress Tor this and
similar outrages, aud also securiy and safety for our
czens in tie Slave Sates and failing to obtain both
by fair and peaeeable means, then let us demand and
secure the point Of the bayone, the red field Of
battle, If needs be, the nights which God and nature
have made inalieably ours."
We fear our Northern contemporary is guilty Of agi-
tating the Slavery question. lie COOL let us COM
promise.
