We received a letter this week, not

treat it. He says: II find in your pa

a bitter correspondence between twociti

He says: The Witness states that
there are thousands Of blacks in Nsbras-
ka, and hat there has been a motion
made to educate them. | think hat would
be better than those folks would do for
poor whites. | have no objections to the
black being free, but do not like to live
among them where they are free. Now
my opinion is that if the blacks are made
lequal with whites that it will not be
many years till there will be another
war to wind up either the black race, for
the black man will not be satisfied with
being equal with the whites for be will
either rule or he must be ruled. Now,
you have my humble opinion on n'gger-

people that otherwise would like to go 10

a heavy emigration from this State TO
Idaho; there are some starting new, and

What the Witness-some paper pub
lished there-says, is as silly as untrue ;
we have, within the past six months,
seen but one .'gemmen OBJ color" on our

We can only say that ofar as mobocracy
and horse.stealing are concerned, the
ones arrested here on suspicion of horse
stealing were not mobbed here, bat were
taken TO Nebraska City where they will

We offer no inducements to emigrants,
white or black, but good %richland, cheap;
a healthy climate ; a ~law-abiding, Union
loving population, and prospects for Ne
braska as bright asthose of Idaho, or any
Territory west of US; as miners must
live, Nebraska must supply their market,
and thus prospects for blowing up gold
in Nebraska are surer, healthier and far
more pleasant than digging 1t in Idaho.
