ADRIAN, Lenawee Co., Oct, Is, 1852.
DEAR MAmvs; On Monday evening AFTER the
close of the A. S. Convention, we were highly
favored by a lecture from Parker Pillsbury.
upon the French Revolution Of ninety three
And would most earnestly advise the friends
Of Reform who are enriched by visit from Mr..
Pillsbury to solicit, and avail themselves of the
benefit of this Lecture-as one of the finest and
most important productions of the age-and in
every way worthy of the cause of Progression,
and of the nineteenth century.
The notice of the meeting had been previously
given-nnd at any carly hour the Hall was
crowded with the intelligent and respectable
citizens Of Adrian and the noighboring villages.
The meeting was opened by a song, after which
Mr. Pillsbury appeared upon the platform-and
for an hour and half held his audience 10 a
close, thorough, and clear cucdaton of tho
causes and facts Of the Rcvolution-contrastinR
the cause and justice of the American Revolu-
ton of seventy-six-with which every fourth
of July mcmorializcs Heaven and Earth with.
Canon and Orotion-with the inhuman outraoe
and cruel tyranny inflicted upon the French
masses by the Government and Religion of the
country; and closed by a thrilling reference to
the three and a half millions Of slavery in our
land, whose accumulated wrongs. and heaven
daring expressions were heaping up a giant
force, which if not averted by the determined
and untirng zeal of the friends of humanity,
might result in baptism Of Blood more terrible
and oven more deserved than the Tragedy of tho
French Revolution.
The address cvinced a thorough investigation
OF the abuses which the Government, Mobiles.
and Clergy, inflicted upon the laborng classes,
and demonstrated most clearly that tho Rcyo-
luton was the consequence of unsurpassed
Tyronny-a necessary result of the causes that
preceded it-and not the mad ambition of rest
less, reckless, unprinciplcd ReyoIutonists.
"Bonnparte's Grave" was then sung by tho
sisters, A. Il. White and J. S. Grifling and the
meeting closed amid loud cheers, and hearty
applause. S.

Death Of Daniel Webster.

Mr.. Webster died at his residence in Marsh
field at o'clock on Sunday morning last. The
event had been expected from the Friday pre-
vous and feared for much longer period
Mr.. Webster has long had the reputation,
how justly we will not say, of the master intel
lect of the age. His eloquence has often pro-
duced most profound impression and may
have turned the tide of our national affairs, on
important measures. Mr.. Webster's admirers
were most hearty, enthusiastic and devoted, but
he lacked the genius TO attach to himself the
people and thus secure the ends he sought. He
schemod timorously, and compromised without
principle and thus signally failed. Had he
heroically dashed forward to win or perish, his
boldness would have secured the admiration of
thousands, who now coldly assent to his intel
lectual superiority or turn in disgust from his
moral cowardice. The infamous legislation of
the last :wo years, owes its existence TO his de-
cision to 60 with the strong against the right
His 9TH of March speech was the pivot on which
turned the tide of legislation against the Wilmot
proviso and in favor of the fugitive slave law.
IL is melancholy record for the pen of history,
that Calhoun and Clay and Webster, the three
most renowned Senators of our country and the
age, devoted their latest and mightest efforts to
the extension and perpetuation of human bond
age. Let the youth of our land who are prompted
by impulses of ambition remember this, and as
they would leave name which posterity shall
honor, let them stand by justice, though it be
at tho cost of present sacrifice.
Daniel Webster has passed. away, and yet
tho nation which has been proud before the
world of his intellect and his cloquence, will be
penetrated with no profound sorrow, for in their
hearts the people know he has eminently helped
to fix upon the nation atrocious guilt. and inef-
faceable infamy. They have pronounced his
condemnation while the great mass of them
still walk in the way of his sin.

AGRICULTURAL FAms.-Ohio has exhibited an
unexampled interest in these exhibitions of in
dustry the present year. Great enthusiasm has
been manifested at the county fairs-and great
good will result from them. We see it stated
that between forty and fifty of them have been
held in the State this fall. A new and attrac-
tive feature, has been the exhibition at many of
them, of female equestrianship in which the
Ladies have acquitted themselves with great
credit. Mrs. Gage reports the display of fruit
at the Washington County exhibition, to have
entirely eclipsed that at the Cleveland State
Fair. Warrington County has had a good rep
uta'ion for fruit, since her first apple and pear
trees commenced bearing.

HIGHER LAw.-Wc have recorded on our first
page the practical opinions of distinguished men
on this point. The spirited article of Mr. Gram
dal, which should have been credited to the A.
S. Standard, will make any one the better for
reading it, We like its straight forwardncss
and its thoroughncss. If its spirit pervadcd
the north we should have no questions of fugi.
tive law or slavery extension to dscuss-and
no attempts at such extension to rcpell. The
only question at the north would be, how to
kill slavery the quickest; while the south. hope
less OF its continued existence, would only en-
quire how il could die the easiest.
