DIR. BRAKES LECTURES.

We commence to-day the publication of Sc
ries OF letters on the subject of slavery. by the
distinguished DR.. Drake, of Cincinnati or Louis
vile. The National Intelligencer, in the columns
of which they are first published, does not speak
too highly of the author, when it says:
The high character ofther author, (whose name and
the Mississippi and honored in every part OF the Uni
on, we'll the great ability and originality OF these
letters subject at present OF universal interest," will
commend them to the serious consideration of all
did, thoughtful, and patriotic men.
AS teacher OF Medicine in the Medical Schools of
Ohio and Kentucky DR.. Drake has been distinguish
ed for many years; and for the purpose of completing
his the diseases ofthe Western States has
visited and pursued his inquiries in nearly all of them.
He has thus enjoyed peculiar advantages tor observing
the character and condition OF the people, and his es
OF the colored race will find, in the clear and we'll
considered statements OF the first of his Letters the
best reasons for encouragement and hope; whilst the
rash and misguided will we trust be induced to consd
er whether it De wise by overheaed zeal in the
OF the ensaved disturb not only the good or
der of society, but defeat the humane purposes now
cherished and increasing towards the coored population
OF the South Certainly it would be difficult 10 place
too high an estimate upon the merits OF gentleman
who, amid arduous professional duties, has found time,
from motive but that of service TO his country and
his race to present in able manner his views on
great and difficult question to the American people.
These Letters date, as the reader will observe,
tar back as last Christmas. They have been in our
hands a good part OF the time but we have not be-
fore been able 10 find suitable place for them in
our columns.

following effect:
He said he would contine himself to repetition of
much that had passed from him an hour or two pre-
vous. He felt that new era in onr social and uoli,-
cal affairs had dawned upon in Consequence Of the
action OF the last Congress. He alluded again to the
gallanlry OF Pennsyva and reioced that she was
where she always had been, in the front rank of pa
triotism. He thanked the Commonwealth for the ho-
nor 1t did him IN welcoming him in that cordial man.
ner. lie loved the Old Commonwealth Tor its great
ness well as its loyalty of heart It was and would
always remain chief star, br ght and glorious, and un-
dmmed IN the federative constellation.
Mr.. W.woud not detain gentlemen by prolonging his
remarks The Union he believed was sale, and the oc-
casion was therefore past for calling upon men to Gen.
suit together, and present basis for action The
compromise had accomplished its purpose, and we now
breahed In pure air-poSperiy again ourished around
The evidences were too manifest of OF per-
manency and stability among for any to suspect
the ultimate tendencies and benefits of lhe compromise
acts. Our only duty now TO sustain those acts and

Randall Rhey and Pennmen, all expressing warm
Union sentiments.
-. Hon. James Cooper delivered an animated speech
lie gorled in the part he had taken in the compromise
and would suffer reproach of conscience in con-
sequence. He gave to Mr.. Webster the principal credit
tor that adjustment, and much praise for his determine
ton to carry out his pledges. He Landed the Admin
lstraon and challenged any comparison that would not
speak in its favor
The company dispersed at late hour, and Mr. Web
ster retired to his hotel
mr. at upnba oT
ers waited on him. and received with his accus-
toned urbanity.
