ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON Personal LIB

ERTY.-The Eau Claire Free Press has a
touching account of a gallant ebony col-
ored individual named Brown, in that
place who some years since woced and
won q white maiden. Since their marriage
OTHELLo has taken to drink, and was re-
Gently arrested while amusing himself by
walloping his fair DEsDEMoNA with an
ox-goad. The Free Press continues:
The parting with his IS loved and lost"
was affecting in the extreme. Before Mr..
Brown-better known as niger Brown
left his domicil, his injured but forgiving
wife took him to one corner of the room
and pressed to his lips farewell kiss and
bottle of whisky, as a pledge OF con-
tinued faith and fidelity !; and he, in turn,
bid her be cheerful in her atfiiction.
When he was about to enter the Jail he
called the attention OF the jailer, and, in
a most affecting manner, spoke as follows:
" | claim to be a citizen of the United
States, and am brought here against my
will. Therefore you will receive me as
your prisoner
We learn from his keeper that, ike the
great Ohio martyr, he takes his confine-
ment easy, and expects soon to have his
course vindicsted before the people. In
fact he has already been solicited by the
Albany meeting and the Copperhead De-
mocracy of Ohio, to allow the use of his
name iii connection with Vallandigham's
to complete Presidential ticket for that
party. The longer and closer Brown is
confined, the stronger he gets; and as it
is belived by them that popular liberty
has received a severe blow by his incar-
ceration, there is every reason to expect
that policy as well as principle will give
the two martyrs preference, and that
: Traitor VaILandigAams and Niger
Brolon will be the standard bearers of
the Copperhead Democracy in 1864.
