DEAR MAH1rs am fairly in for Lecture

Richmond, and one in Goshen, Wayne Coun-
ty; and Eve in this town. I was gratiaed In
Richmond last Sunday, a week. A pnest Of
the town had an appointment at the same place,
and hour at which had one. 1t was in pub

He refused. He was reminded Of the conditions.
on which he occupied il. He pleaded that he
was Minister of Christ and was not, and he
had previous claim, that he would give way
If a. Minister came and wanted to preach Christ
and him cruciied. He considered me a mere
lecturer on Humanity, and had no idea that
Christ should give way 20 Humanity. A voto
was taken on the question-Who shall occupy

him, and that was his deacon. The fact is sig
niicant of the waning power Of the clergy. He
snatched up his Bible and Hymn Book, and
walked out like an i'asuhtsd gIenadicr, apparent

/ Iwentto Economy. There q few months
since, man was cast out Of the Wing Party,
because, last fall, he presided at an Anti -Slavo-
ry meeting when spoke. Ihopc he will have
the manliness TO consider the expulsion, for
such cause an honor The foul dishonor of
membership in the Wing Party, can never be
compensated by Office, or cmoluments. No
man can join any political, or religious party as
they now are, and not pollutc his moral nature.
BY the cry Of Drunkenness, Theft, Rotrry and
Murder, the reptile politicians, hacked up BY
the no less Shiny religionists, procured the in
scrton of the article in the New Const tu i'm,
touching Negroes entering the State, and those
who shall employ, or entertain them. A prac-
tical illustration of this The cholera has driven
nearly every white family from Newport. They
departed, leaving the keys of their houses with
the colored people there, who could not remove,
having no where to go. There they are having
control over nearly all the property of the town
practically trusted by the very people that
would cast them out of the State with their all,
and practically giving the lie to the popular cry
against them.
The meetings here have been well attended.
There are many stirling friends Of the Slave in
this county. Of all the State, Randolph Coun-
ty, is the only County that went sgainst the
Negro expulsion article of the New Constitution,
unless it be one other.
Tomorrow, the dug up bones of the men.
who, under Gen. ST. Clair. fell in an effort TO
rob and murder the Indians at Fort Recovery,
in Revolutionary days, arc to be intered at that
placc.-Some twenty or twenty five miles from
this place. Many are going from this region,
to do homage to the bones of men, who fell
fighting on the side of injustice; while these
very worshipcrs of dead mems bones, are doing
what they can to crush and destroy their living
fellow beings around them.
1 long to hear from the Anniversary. Have
not yet. Do make arrangements for Charles
and Parker to be at the Green Plan, Yearly
Meeting-and to 60 to Richmond on the Ohio.
The people expect them.
