. in the streets, calling to the public sale of
goods at one of the stores, gave me an excel
lent opportunity TO hold up to execration that
hellish system in the Southland, which auc-
tons off little children along with tallow cam
{ dies by the pound-men and woman, created
in the image Of God, along with broadcloth
--human cattle with horses and mules sin
lots to suit purchasers "-mothers and their
daughters for purposes of prostitution in the
s~eraglios of the worse than T~uTks-slsters In
the church, to whom last Sunday the minis
ter handed the wine, to the winner to buy
more for next Sunday-and even Jesus Christ
himself, in the person of his little Ones"
to the merciless soul-driver, to be scourged,
reviled, spit upon, hunted with dogs and
guns, worked up into cotton and sugar, and
finally put 10 death with more circulating
~tortures than even those of the cross! call
ed for volunteers to mount the auction-block,
but none came-none answered! Thus will
men flee from slavery, when you talk of ma
king them the victims, but they care not for
it when its unutterable woes come down on
the heads of others! Golden dust, and
Jumps, and bars, they are eager TO grasp,
and TO obtain them will dare the suffering,
and famine, and death of California ; but a
Rule of the zane costly material, though fur

Christianity, and finished and polished in the
highest style OF Divine workmanship,-this,

much worthless saw-dust! God forgive

Sunday and Monday evenings, spoke at
Middle Branch P. O., 4 miles from Marlbor-
!, ough. The first night it was with difficulty
, that all could get into the house. The Sec
ond, one man "a Democrat,) made consider
3 ablo opposition. The audience, however,
did not appear to be very seriously impressed
with a conviction either of his powers, or the
justice of his cause. There is a fine opening
: for labor at Middle Branch. The people are
ready to hear, and wish 10 have some Of our
lecturers hold a protracted meeting there
Obtained one subscriber for the Bugle with
the money, and a pledge of two dollars to the
: Western Society.
Wednesday evening, had an appointment
to speak in a school-house two miles east of
!, Marlborough. gave out the notice in school
= the afternoon before, and the teacher-a lady
, said they would take pains and circulate
II it. But the next morning one Of the direc-
5 tors-a most devout Methodist-s sent word to
? her to tell her scholars that there shouldn't be
any meeting, and that the door would be
locked. So when l arrived at a late hour,
j there was nobody there, and the string to the
door-latch was secured by t~hrusting a green
= elder through the hole. ! went in, however,
and presently two or three of the neighbors
cam along. We lit candle, and sat talk
ing about the matter, when this good Meth
n odist friend suddenly opened the door, Il

first no chance TO reply; but, at length, | put
in a word e~dgewise, and that served for an
opening wedge to let in another, until we
~ talked perhaps nearly two hours between us.
