The Lectures Of the Rev. Warren Bur-
TON of Fall River, OIL the responsibilities of
frecmcn, or "White Slavery" recently de-
livercd in this place, have been well attended,
and listendcd to with much pleasure and sat
isfaction. We cannot better express our
own opinion Of these lectures, and Of their
important tendency, than by adopting what
is said of them by the editor of the Fall River
Monitor.
"Thc subject was one of deep and ab-
sorbing interest TO every citizen Of this re-
public. II was treated in manner calcu-
lated TO diflIusc much light, open the eyes of
many prcjudiced mind, aud lead to fair
and full investigation of the responsibilities
and duties Of every freeman. The clear and
lucid exposition of the principles by which
every voter should be guided, the high and
responsible trust confided to each citizen
were so plainly and fairly pointed out by the
lecturer, that no one, who listened, could fail
to be satisfied with his clear and convincing
illustrations. TO cnlghtcn the ignorant and
to remove the prejudice, consequent upon
ignorance, is an important dcsideratum in a
republican government like ours. Where

directly in the government and laws under
which he lives, it is of the first importance
that he should understand, at least, the first
prime pies Of iha, government and those laws,
that he may understand the probable bearing
which any proposed measure may have upon
their own aud their country's prosperity and
happiness.
The influence which few designing
dcmsgogues have upon the more honest but
less informed than themselves, was happily
portrayed by the lecturer. The manner in
which these demagogucs attempt to operate
upon their less Informed, but more honest
fellow citizens, so mgcniously described by
the lecturer, is as disgusting MS ii is true
and must, we think, lead many to more
serious and careful reflection and to more
calm aud deliberate action.
The banefu and wthering effects Of ig.
norsnee, whenever and wherever il exists
among voters, especially in land Of freedom,

ballot box and have voice, either directly
or indirccily iu making and executing the
laws Of the land, and the duty which devolves
upon all IN ckapiine thoroughly and under

and the officers and candidates for Office are
sctaaiod, were most ably illustrated and
enforced.
We were highly graifed md cannot
doubt but TINT, ns much important iniorma

ROWLAND r.. MINTURN.-It is with no
common sensations, we notice the death
of this valued and exemplary citizen.
He had been !Gboring under bilious
attack for several days which was so
severe as 10 sensibly affect his mind
On Monday, however, he was consia-
cred much better, but on Tuesday he
was worse, although the family were in
no way alarmed. On Wednesday in
an alteration Of mind he jumped from
the fourth story of his house in Wash
ington Place, on to the pavement, and
survived the fall but two hours. He
was the son of the lamcntod Jonas Min
turn, whose memory is SO much cher
ished. AT his death, Rowland was but
Il STRIPPING, and to the astonishmcnt OF
every one he assumed his fathers large
business and continued to conduct it for
the past twelve or fifteen years, with a
fidelity and honor that cannot be surpas-
scd. He had, by his extraordinary in
tclligenco, industry, and devotion to
business, acquired handsome proper
ty, and a credit truly enviablc. His at
tcntion and devotion of, we might almost
say, his life, to his respected mother
and family was a subject Of remark by
all-and moro devoted son and anec-
tionate brother cannot be named. His
life was one If fspotless innocence, de-
voted to his family and business. That
he shOuldbe so suddenly and distressing
ly taken from his family and numerous
friends is most painful.
