This is the man who now comes forward,
and offers himself IS a candidate Tor the Pee
sidency {. this Republic. lie was, openly
and unquestionably, on an electioneering tour
through The non. slaveholding States. He was
in this city. The false and ctaveb-hearted
Wings gathered around the shrine Of this,
their god, and were piling hecaiombs OF hu-
man victims upon his altar, and were moving
heaven and earth TO create political capital in
his behalf. 1t was at that moment OF time,
in this city, when the inhunan man.stealer
was spreading his net 10 catch all sorts Of
game, and bowling and cooling to win golden
opinions Of all men, that the Uutchinson's
appeared before him, and greeted and honored
him with their melody. II sounded sweet,
and full Of uhctionto him, and to his politi-
cal sycophants, and they did what they could
TO make capital out Of it for their idol but,
in the ears Of three millions Of slaves, and of
their friends, This song sounded most harsh
~ and nnkindly. Anti Slavery felt that she
had a nigh, to the Huichinsons. She foster
ed and cherished them in infancy aud, in
turn had been cheeted and strengthened by
their sweet and potent voices. She felt that
she had been stung by those who had been
warmed in her bosom. She had rejoiced over
them. as her own children, in both hemis-
pheres; and she felt this 10 be an uDkind and
cruel thrust at her very vlials. She stood
over them, and dropped the tear Of pity as
they knelt before the altar Of Henry Clay, a
stakeholder, and her dcadliest enemy. She
uttered her most earnest, but kindly rebuke.
Not a sign of sorrow had hitherto been given
ON their pant.

and gave us two OF their very sweetest and
most soul-lnsplring songs in favor of free
dom, and against oppression in all lands, es-
pecially in this. Their strains thrilled through
every heart. Wendell Phillips arose on the
platform, and moved to give three cheers for
the llutchinsons. The audience rose TO their
feet, and gave three loud, hearty, and joyful
cheers. They were never eheered with moro
heartfelt and joyful sincerity. 1t was a shout
o' ant'-slavery over their return to her side
Garrison. Phillips, Jackson and others who
had most deeply grieved over their treatment
of Henry Clay, Joined TO welcome them, and
to cheer them on in faithful allegiance 10 the
cause Of human freedom. Judging from the
tervor Of their strains, | doubt if the Hutch
insons ever received a cheer that gave them
happier or more grateful hearts. And sure

the Howitis, the Thompsons, and their nu-
merous other antl-sIaveTy friends and admit
Ters In Ireland and Britain, will receive this
information with heartfelt delight. Those
songsters, with their voices of extraordinary
melody, have great power over mems heads
