Salem, Sept. 27, 1852.
Mr. EDITOR The fires of liberty are burning
brightly; Meeting folnws meeting, speech follows
speech in quick succession, "agitation," despite
The edcts Of National Parties is the order of the
day.
Salem is hen,en ground. The people here have
had anti-slavery dscu SONS for years. AMI are wal
grained in the doctrines of humanity. But they
al nclise in the present crisis and WORK like
good fellows in the cause.
That eloquent and devoted hampton of human
rights JOHN c. VAUGHAN, of the Cleveland True
Democrat, spoke here yesterday Sunday night
and day, to large and deeply attentive audience.
and by his powerful advocacy of the rights Of man,
b. his vigorous enforcement of the obligations and
d lties of freemen, by his eloquent appeals to the
better impulses of the henri, he caused, as with
new fire from the altar of patriotism. the spirit of
the peoble 10 burn within them, and aroused Them
10 higher, more devoted self-sacrfcing labors 10
the sacred cause Of humanity.
But the most remarkable turn out was in New
Lisbon on Saturday. You know how how Hun
kerish this region is. But the people were out;
there was a big meeting, Mr.. Vaughan s,oke for
two houis in the day time laying bare the position
of the Wing and Democratic parties, discussing
and comparing their platforms developing the
enormty of each. His auditors listened with un
wearied attention 10 his masterly speech and many
seemed to be introduced into new light, having
| rever before listened to such discussion. So
erea: was the inter est created by this speech of
Mr.: Vaughan, that he mportuned to tarry
and speak in the evening. He consented aud to
crowded house unfo ded the degrading effects of
slavery upon the poor willie population ofthe south,
the laborers; and l much mistake if many stern
democrat who listened TO him, did not resolve
henceforth to act with that party devoted in prac-
tice, well in profession. to the principles of
true democracy, these principles which elevate,
rather than depress labor.
Mr.. Vaughan lot say, acquitted himself no.
bly, here opened new mine af thought has sown
seed which will bring forth Fl nit. Sure am, our
good cause is ONWARD.
