Parker PilIsbury.


we ohaye a letter from Parker Pillshury, writ
ten at his home in Concord, N. H., July 10th,
in which he declares his intontion to start for
tho West on the 9th or 9TH inst, and to be in
Cleveland ON Friday the 9th, This will enable
him, if no accident causes farther detention,
to bo at the Randolph meeting on Sunday. 1t
is possible, however, that he will make his FIRST
appearance at Akron.
We are sorry to be obliged to add that our
friends health is not yet restored. He says; /;
" You will have to indulge me somewhat as to
the amount Of my labor, night exposure, and
some little choice Of stopping places. To one
worn and weary, you know, humble home, If
you have found 1t home before, is better than
to be the guest of strangers, even in palaces.
This remark was probably intended to bo pri-
yatc, but the hint it conveys is so reasonable,
and compliance with It so necessary to our
friends comfort and health, that we do not hesi-
tate TO publish il. We trust that ho will every
,yhore find the attention and sympathy which
his shattered and feeble constitution so much
demands, and that the friends Of the cause viii
be careful not to impose upon him burdens
heavier than hc can bear.
After the above was in typo we received tho
following welcome epistle.
DEAR FRIEND JOHNSON: am looking
forward with many pleasing anticipations'
to the day, (not now distant) when shall
again step on the soil of Ohio. My pleasure
is, however, mingled with something of sud-
ness, that my health will not admit of so
constant and protructed labor as when have
been in the State before, Through the Sum
mer thus far, it has been my aim and pur-
pose to recover, but have only partially
succeeded My brain is still affected, and
some other difficulties give me many un.
pleasant days and nights. have during the
last month attended but one meeting q week
and that only in connexion with two or three
other speakers, so that my work has gener
ally been very light. l could do more thar
that now, but am outstanding my strength
for my visit to the West.
Yours is the field for labor, although th'
calls in New England nrc louder and longe
and stronger than ever before. The new
Trinity formed recently in behalf of Churcl
and State, consisting of Webster, Rynder
and Professor Stuart, has shocked many in
to ant-savery life. They have risen as fron
the dead TO convince multitudes on whom
our arguments and entreaties have bee
spent in vain. Let us welcome even sue
, auxiliaries.
And loud as are our calls, we have yer
, few indeed to answer them, either E12 Q
West. We have whole prniries of harvest
but where are the reapers? would lie b
and rest year, but for the lack of them.-
Our positions are so startling, our doctrine
!, so uncompromisiug, and, TO the world, S
extravagant, that but few of our new convert
even from the learned professions, feel then
selves equal to the battle in their Defence
We need more than ever the old powder
smoked and war-scaTed veterans, who hay
snufled the conflict from the beginning.
But l will not occupy your space. hop
: soon TO see you, and many more of my ne'
: er to be forgotten friends in Ohio. An
=" such ability as have, both bodily and mel
tai, shall delight to lay upon your altar.
Yours, "world without end"
PARKER PILLSBURY.
