pecinlly since have been iu the "Old Gra-
mite State" (nnd it has really been granite in
my experience of it, and ] have been here
for some weeks, and bid fhir to he weeks
more,) have not seen Bugle, nor anything
else to tell me what is going OIL ut the West,
except the glorious old Liberator, which
comes to one of the brave brethren in this
region. So do not know much about the
campaign in Ohio. Yes do, though; for
know there IS campaign there, and that
true and earnest hearts are carrying II on
henrts that will not cense TO benr alolt tho

fore the last pass off the stage, tens of thou
sands Of them will he sorry that they ever
helped TO hold slave. The dear God and
all the Good forgive them, for they know

was nothing left for him, but to lie trans.
planted TO the grcnt spirit garden. But to
make amends for his failure, she produced
Stephen Foster, aud how nobly Le hus done
the work nature gave Webster to do, need
not say here-Ohio well knows. And she
has some great men yet on her soil ut least
