Ne bep leave to callthe attention OF our res-
Gers, to an advertisement OF the PERicLEAN
Society, in this days paper. The interest
winch that society takes, in the heroic struggle
of the Greeks, against Turkish barbarity, is in
the hi hest degree, prsise"orthy, and should
incline every lover Of freedom, to give some
thing, however little, to cause SO dear to the
feelings of every American. Though much
cannot be obtained in this manner, yet whate-
yer is the sum, it will prove that the young men
of our town, sympathrse with the Greeks, in
their effort to shake off ayoke, more CALLING
than that under which any people ever labored.
We have no doubt there will be an interesting
discussion. and the repast will more than equal
the sum of twenty five cents.
