LETTER FROM BOSTON.

BosToN, Mass. August Is, 1852
To the Editor of the National Era:
The death of Mr.. Rantoul just now reported
among us, has carried deep and painful sor-
row to many hearts A more serious loss, to
all human appearance, could scarcely have be-
fallen MS In our own Commonwealth es-
pecially, will this mysterious Providence be
widely and seriously felt. Perhaps there was
no man whose influence was pregnant with
more important consequences to the State, in the
present crisis, than that of him who has been 80
suddenly cut down in the midst OF an increas-
ingly brilliant career. But, though his sun has
gone.down while it was yet noon, and though
our expectations of grand results arising out OF
his future action are 80 deplorably ecpsed, yet
in our sorrow we find something to console us.
Truly thankful are we that such noble and
generous voice has been found, through which
the appeals of hampered truth and dishonored
right have 80 often uttered themselves to the
world. In him, Temperance, Peace, Liberty,
all the Christian virtues clustering upon the
branches of that tree whose leaves are for the
healing of the nations" found ready and an
eloquent advocate. We deplore him, not as a
political leader and partisan, nor as the adyo-
cate OF any particular institution or principle,
however noble, but as Christian patriot, as a
statesman in whose comprehensive scheme hu-
manly had the broadcast and most permanent
position. In the advancement Of these inter-
ests, we are most happy in the conviction that,
though dead, he will yet work on powerfully
and effectively through the struggling years
on which we are even now entering. His
thoughts yet remain, and, though not permitted
to see their acknowledged triumph yet we
confidently believe that the hour approaches
when they will be duly declared great truths,
and very necdful for the world. By this
solemn event too we are reminded again OF
the oft-told fact Of life's breyity We are all
passing away
