first Congress in respect to Slavery and mat
tiers relating thereto. II will be remembered
that he was under an engagement to attend
the Anti-Fugitive Law Convention held in
this place last Autumn, but was prevented
from coming on account of sickness in his
family. The disappointment SO geperally
felt on account of his absence at that time,
and the welI-known desire of mlltitudes in
this vicinity to hear him speak on the subjects
to which he has devoted so much time and
thought during his long term Of service in
Congress, induced few individuals to give
him an urgent invitation to pay us VISIT
To that invitation Mr. Giddings made the
following reply, which was our authority for
the announcement made last week:
JEFFERSON, March IL, 81.
GENTLEMEN:-l wrote you on Thursday,
but by some neglect my letter was not put
in the Post Office.

While on some accounts we should have
preferred an earlier day for the meeting, we
are glad OH the whole that the time is so far
distant as TO afford ample opportunity for
giving extensive notice TO the people of the
feast TO be spread for their entertainment
The persons OH whose invitation Mr. G.
has consented to come will probably act as a
Committee of Arrangements; and we think
we can assure the public that they will do all
that can be done to make the occasion worthy
Of the object and the time.
II is probable that the meeting will COM
mence at 10 o'clock, A. NJ. and be continued
by an afternoon session; but the arrange
ments are not yet fixed.

WoMEH's CONFERENCE.-The Call forthe
noxt Wnmen's Convention appeu.- q. I osss-
columns this week. Now then let the friends
of the cause go TO work and make all need
ful preparations for the meeting. The place,
we think, is well chosen. The people of
Akron are noted for their courtesy and hos
pitality, and many of them having given
their consent that the Convention should be
held there, they will doubtless make ample
provision for the comfort Of those who at
tend it. Friends of the cause who live in
places where newspapers are issued should
endeavor to procure the publication of the
Call for the information of their neighhors.
1t will arrest attention and excite discussion,
even if it should not induce any one to at
tend the Convention.
If we could whisper a word pri-
vately in tie ears of those whose pens will
be employed in writing to or for the Con-
vention, and were not afraid of being
thought impertinent, VIC would say, BE
BRIEF. Don't think it necessary to tell the
world all you know in the compass of a
single letter or address. If every one who
writes goes over the whole subject from
Alpha TO Omega, the Convention will need
to sit month at least, and the proceedings
swill be as bulky as Congressional docu.
'ment, and as dry. Seize upon some par.
ticular point that needs elucidation, and then
come to the point at once, without tedious
circumlocution and don't forget to stoy
'when you are done. Why should the mil
'be kept running after the corn is oil ground
There, if this prescription, well shaken, il
imbibed with alacrity,' wen warrant III,
Convention immunity from the malady o
Dulncss and the scourge of Piolixity.

HoRMBLE.-The Padding Clarion, pub
lished in Jasper Co., Miss, contains an ac
count of the burning of a negro name,
Haley for violating and numbering tn
daughter Of his master, married woman
The negro was chained to tree, withor
trial, and burned in "rhe presence of neO
two hundred ladies and gentlemen" If
colored woman bad been outraged by
white villain, would the perpetrator have bee
burned by the populace3 The crime is
dreadful one, but it is no wonder that ma
reared under the brutalizing influences
slavery should have committed it.
