WiNsBUha, SuHlinlt OO., June -.
have not had time TO finish this hasty let
ter until this morning. Every moment, out
of meeting, is occupied in scattering light,
raising funds or obtaining subscribers. We
had meeting in this place three times yes
terdny, in an abandoned Methodist meeting
house, which is now owned and used for
store-house, 10y man of the world. All the
seciaran houses, even the Frco-wil Bap-
lists, were closed against US, though the lat
ter was built, in part, by Abolitionsts for
free discussion. But our meeting was well
attended, some coming who had never be-
fore listened to the wrongs of the slave

and pledged 50 to tho Western Society.
look forward with great interest to the
great Conventions which arc to commence
in this State in August, and to sweep through
the Stute as far as The Committee have funds
to carry them. The politicians are now
quiet, the prejudices and passions of the
people arc not aroused, aud, therefore, in
this the cool ofthe day let us approach the rea-
son and conscience of the Nation and bring
them into the service of God and humanity.

cessivc heat Of the evening rendered it inn
possible for me to speak to that purpose
which the occasion demanded.
Al the close OF the meeting, our old friend,
Gerrit Smtli-who had been i'm through the
eyening-expressed to me his entire conf
dence in the American Anti-Slavery Society,
and, moreover, said that il was in his opin-
ion, doing more than any other for the abo-
lition of Slavery. lie threw So into the con-
tribntion box, aud said he should be happy
to aid in the efforts to revolutionize Eastern
New York but as, at this time he was some
what pressed for funds, and had been obliged
to suspend, for the present, the payment of
the 500 donations TO the poor women of New
York, hc pledged only sos to assist in sus-
tanning g. Z. Buregh in the Eastern New
| York mission, l trust this is an earnest of
his again uniting fully with the friends of
that Society, and appropriating his munifi-
cent donations in direction which will tell
so heavily against Slavery.
There We're, at this time, $50, in oil paid
in Syracuse to the American Society, and
S62 pledged TO be paid before November
next This is specially for the renovation of
Eastern New York.
/ came direct from Syracuse to Cleveland,
where ! held meetings, yesterday Sunday,
through the day aud evening, in the Univer-
sulist church. The house was crowded with
q very attentive audience, aud the choir gave
us iiue singing from the Anii-Slavery Harp.
There appeared to be much interest awaken
cd. The next day, we obtained eighteen
new subscribers for the Bugle, ten for the
Liberator, and those | send enclosed for the
STANDARD. The friends paid Sl2,25 cts cash,
and pledged S29,50, to he paid in Septem-
bcr next, for the Western Anti-Slavery So
ciety.

We have delayed the publication of the
above in the hope of hearing directly from
Mr. Ward, but his frequent absence from
his post leaves us at no loss to account for
his silence. Perhaps the marked paper we
sent him never came under his eye. The
Impartial Citizen, however, which Mr. Ward
edits, has brought us the facts we need, and
which we shall now give. 1t will appear
that he was first admitted and afterwards ex-
PEELED The process we give in his own
words, as follows:
Our Division sent out a committee 10 in
9uire whether it were contrary to rule to admit
black members. The committee reported that
resolution against the admission Of blacks had
been passed by the Grand Division. Upon

POET'S CORNER.
CHE NEVER WROTE AGAIN"

His hope of publishing went down,
The sweeping press rolled on;
But what was any other crown
To him who hadn't one?
He liyed-for long may man bewail
When thus he writes in vain:
WHY comes not death to those that mourn
He never wrote again
Books were put out and chad rum"
Like coinage from the mint;
But which could fill the place of one,
That one they wouldn't print.
Before him passed, IN calf and sheep,
The thoughts of many brain:
His lay with the rejected heap
He never wrote again
lie sat where men who wrote went round,
And heard the rhymes they built;
He saw their works most richly bound
With portraits and in guilt
Dreams Of a volume all forgot
Were blent with every strain:
4 thought Of one they issued not
IIeneyer wrote again!
Minds in that time closed DER the trace
OF books once fondly read,
And others came to fill their place
And were perased instead.
Tales which young girls had bathed in tear:
Back on the shelves were lain:
Fresh ones came out for other years
He never wrote again!

The publishers have expended a large sum Of
money to get original drawings Of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the subject, whether pub
Iished in England, France, or Germany the
most essential parts of which being comprised
in this Dictionary, render it as perfect and COM
prehensiye as possible.
The publishers have endeavored to use
great economy in type, so that each page
of the work contains at least four times the
number of words found in the ordinary pages of
the same size. This mas also secured 10 each
plate woIking-drawings of ample size and clear
ness, so that a mechanic may construct accu-
rately any machine described.
The publishers are, in short, determined re-
CARELESS of cost, to make the works as complete
as possible; and it is hoped every one DESTROYS
to obtain the work will procure it as issued in
numbers, and thus encourage the enterprise.
The work will be issued in semi-monthly
numbers, commencing in January, 1850 and will
progress with great regularity.
The whole work will be published in 40
bers, at % cents per number and completed
within the current year, 1850. y libeGal discount
will be made to agents.
ANY one renting the publishers $40 in ad-
vance, shall receive the work through the post
office free of expense.
