Mr.. Cough, take him all in all, is the best
natural orator / have ever heard. This remark
has been made by dozens Of persons within my
hearing, and expresses the general feeling OF
those who have heard him. 1t would be easy
for critic to find fault with the style of Mr..
g., which is not polished one, and with some
of his cxprcssions but possessing an inexhaus-
tible fund of incident and anecdotc, great readi-
ness in bringing them in to illustrate the sub
ject in hand, fine voice, the most graphic and
rapid powers of narrative, gushing warmth of
description, extraordinary initiative powers, and
evident sincerity and earncstncss in the cause he
advocates, he awakens u most absorbing in
tercst in the subject in nll who hear him.
Few indeed are there who listen to him who
arc not captivatcd by his eloquonce and con-
vinced by his arguments. heard him week
ago last Sunday evening in one of our Church.

make the most appropriate, instructive and elo-
qucnt address to Young Men to which it has ev-
or been my good fortune to listen. Narrative,
argument, and persuasion were united to induce
the young to avoid the numerous temptations
to bad company, evil habits, and incompetence
abounding in large city. The friends of the
cause intend keeping Mr.. G. here somc weeks
that meetings may be held in every section of
tho city and every class Of tho community be
reached.
Mr.. o. S. Fowler of New York has been
among US for four weeks lccturing on his ia
vorito topics, Phrcnology, Health, Marriage,
&c. He has boon honored with large audiences,

was treated scientifically, with its moral apph-
cation, and intcrspcrsed with anecdotes which
made 1t highly entertaining. A few nights
since he gave a lecture of advice to Young
Men, and this week he gives one, in one of our
Churches, exclusively to ladies, on Temperance.
Mr.. Fowler has made favorable impression
upon those who have heard him. He is an in
telligcnt, hearted philanthropist, sincerely
devoted to the good of his fellow men. No
fair minded man, however he may differ from
him on some points, can fail to be instructed by
his lectures, or to admire his devotion to the
welfare of man.
Rev. Mr.. Giles of Boston is nlso lccturing
among us. He is q minister of the Unitarian
faith, but is well known as literary writer
His lecture before the Literary Association
some two weeks since was considered one Of
the best, if not the very best of the season.
The subject was Conversation" which was
handled in vigorous and elegant style. The
eloquencc, pungency, terseDess, sarcasm and
anccdote that characterized the entire lecture,
Gan hour and half in lengthy precluded all
tagging in interest on tho part of the audience,
which was a crowded one. many who wished
being unable to gain admittancc. Mr.. Giles is
now delivering course on the Life and Genius
of Ccryantes, the immortal author of Don
Quixote, as illustrated by the incidents of that
work. His reputation as a lecturer is high,
and as an original and imaginative thinker and
critic. he ranks among the very first Of our
country and our age.
The Constitutional Convention has resolved
to adjourn sine die on the 10th of this month.
A week or SO since an attempt was made to in
corporate in tho new Constitution a provision
similar to that adopted in Indiana prohibiting
.he immigration Of blacks and mulattocs into tho
State, and instructing the Legislature to pro-
vide by law for their colonization beyond the
limits of the State. The "previous question"
was moved on its adoption, but was negatived
by decisive majority. After a number Of
amendments, the ohoIe project, to the credit of
the Convention, failed. 1t is not likely to be
taken up again. A provision extending the
elective franchise to oOlored men, found but IL
