The following from:he pen of G. G. Bur-
leigh, Editor Of the Pennsylvania Free
min, will be interesting, we think. to our
readers in general. and specially SO. to
shose favored with the opportunity OF hear
ing the lectures Of this gentleman. in his
late visit to Vermont.
NORTHERN TOUR, LECTURES, &c.
During the month ofabsence from Phil
adaIphia and the Freeman. have made a
flying visit TO New England, besides a
short depression to Long Island and have
lectured with considerable frequency, for
the most part in Vermont, but also in Con-
recticut, Massachusetts, and New Hamp
shire. The sum of all these jonrneyings
exceeds thousand miles, and the number
ofpublc addresses delivered whileperlorm.
ing them is thirty-eight.
Leaving the city on the Cd ult., | reach
ed Westbury, Long Island, in the evening
Of the same day. and the next day | spoke
to small audiences there and at Jericho.
The interval from that to the ninth was
spent in performing the journey-lhrough
obstacles and difficulties interposed by
severe storms and the great freshet-by
way of Norwich and Worcester to Spring
field. Vermont. After two lectures in
that place, very well attended, and one in
the neighboring town OF Cavendlsh, seve-
raj OF our friends in that region accompan-
led me TO Brandon, where the Annual
Meeting o! the State Society was to be
held on the 18th AMI 18th. We arrived
in season for he preliminary meeting on
the 18th, at which | endeavored. in
speech Of an hour and half, to refute,
once more, the often refuted objection of
"foreign interference" -
Al ten o'clock on the following morn
ing commenced the annual meeting Of the
State Society, of which an account is CIV
en- in another article.
After the annual meeting [ proceeded
northward as far as Burlington, and then
turning southwark, made rapid progress
diagonally through the State, from Lake
Champlain on the north. west 10 Connect
cut river on the east, and crossed near the
south. eastern corner OF the State. In this
progress, which consumed ten days, |
spoke twice at Middleburv, four times at
Vcrsenoes, twice at South Ferrisburgh,
three times at North Ferlisburg once al
Charlotte, twice at Burlington, twice al
Rutland, twice in Cayendish and once in
Springfield. At Burlington and Rutland
the meetings were held in the Court-house
lin all the other places, in meeting-hous-
es ofthe principal religious denominations,
which were freely thrown open for the
purpose. Almost every meeting was fully
attended, and in some instances capacious
houses were crowded in every part, and
even beyond their capacity to accommodate
with seats. Two of the enumerated ad
dresses were on temperance, one on mans
inalienable right to life" and one TO the
pupils Of All Academy, on the true aim OIL
education. The remainder were on slave
ny.
The interview which 1 enjoyed witt
the students was particularly pleasant t
me. Seldom, fever, in my public labors
even when. overpaid for my exertions II
the cause oflrulh. by the silent attention
of assembled thousands, have been NOR,
gratifed than by the apparent interest witt
which the youthful band at that little
country Academy listened to my words
It is hardly necessary to say, that among
the purposes for which they were remind
ed that duly would probably hereafter cal
them to exert the powers they were train
ing, was specified the conflict against or
preston already begun in our land, an
destined TO continue till right should tr
umph over injustice, and liberty shoul
bless all who dwell within our borders.
Since leaving Vermont, on the 25t
ult., | have lectured once in Keene, I
H.; once each in Worcester and Oxfort
Mass once in Brooklyn, and twice
Plainfeld, Ct.;-in most instances to iarg
and in all to attentive assemblies, and,
the opinions of friends who enjoy som
opportunities of observation, err not, tn
tour OF labor has not been altogether wit
out beneficial effects.
Ii would give me pleasure 10 speak
the kindDess, The warm and generous no
pitality which greeted me almost ever
where, and to make the return-por
though it be-of heartfelt thanks to II
numerous friends whose attentions rende
ed the excursion delightful one TO m
self. and whose prompt and efficient a
made il, l hope, not improbable to Il
i cause Of human rights. But it needs nc
nor is this The place to speak all my fee
ings in the remembrance OF their kin
ness They have their reward.
