From c. s. 5. Grifling.

EoINBURo, March 10, 1851.
Mr.. EDrToR: Marius Robinson and myself
have recently visited some portions Of Gcauga
County, preaching the word to the best Of our
ability, if not to the entire acccptability Of all
who listened to us. We commenced at Balm
bridge, where We found Oliver Rrown, ready
and willing to cooperate with us with zeal
unabated by muddy roads, unpleasant weather,
or usual opposing influences. Meetings were
held in Bainbridge and several adjoining towns,
and good degree of interst in our cause was
manifested, as is ever the case where Marius
Robinson is its representative. No audience
can listen TO his earnest cloqucncc without feel
ing hatred for slavery, sympathy for the en-
shaved, and righteous Indignation for their en-
slavers, defended though they be by the Re-
lision and Government of this unhcly nation.
A prevalent practice of Religion in this vicinity
is the "Watcr Cure The Divinity Doctors
of this practice arc more successful here than
the old school practitioners, at least arc get
ting more business, warranting as they do a
perfect cure from all moral leprosy with six less
dippings than the prophet required of Naaman.
Ii it were proper for me to hazard an opinion,
1 should say from the appearance of some of
their patients, the full amount of the prophets
prescription would not fully remove the pro-
slavery m' dy with which they arc afflicted
DIR. Alexander Campbclrs Water Cure Journal
(alias Milicnial HR6iager,) is extensively circu-
lated here, and, as his friends suppose sheds all
necessary light on this system of practice; so l
fear my hint will not be regarded. The January
number contains aspirited article on the Fusi-
tive law, which hope you will publish in the
Buglc for the benefit of all inquiring friends.
1t fully establishes his claim to equal infamy
with Sharp, Dewey, Lord 6 Co.
Full many priest with brazen front is seen
10 plead for wrong and Gods just judgments
dare;
Full many priest will go to he'll ween,
And Alexander means to meet them there"
Gray'S Thoughts in a Parsons doOr-yara.
At Freedom l held meeting with Anti-Sla
very Free Soilers, who are vainly hoping by
political action to liberate the slave some fifteen
or fifteen hundred years hence by going against
slavery extension noo. They generally admit
ted that in this instance at least hope told not
very fnttering tale; but an honest Deacon of
the Church who was present thought they were
entitled to great credit for hoping at all on SO
slight grounds. This of course readily award
cd him, never before having discovered
the minuteness of Deacon's hope. Here the
slave has some true friends ready to cooperate
with any man who claims immediate emancipa-
ton as the right of the slave and the duty of the
master.
Last evening l held meeting in this place.
The Heightons were present and sung some of
their soul-stirring songs, which am sure well
repaid all for the trouble they had taken to at
tend the meeting, even if failed to interest
them. Rev. Willard Burr of this place is a no
BILE exception to most of his profession. Diff
fering from us on some points, as he does, he
not to give notice of my meeting in
his Church, and though prevented by previous
appointment from attending the meeting, he
invited me to his house and treated me with
xindness, which mover fails to awaken grateful
'motions. He isin truth an Anti-Slavery man,
md fears not to identify himself with the cause
When was in Bainbridge about thirty dol |
ars was pledged to be paid before our Anniver-
airy, in Eaddition to what had been previously
aised there this year. If the friends in every |
own would do as well as Boinbridge has done,
he Executive Committee would be enabled
his year to do the necessary Anti Slavery work
nth " alacrity." About the same amount has
cen pledged in tho other places have visited
all Of sOhicA, ,Oith additions, will be paid be-
'r0 the Anniversary. O. 5. 8. GRIFFING. u
