Ek Horn Oct. IA, lS52-Yesterday Hale
was here, and talked to us-talked to us as a
man bearing the impress of Gods own image,
not only outwardly but inwardly. Though the
roads were very muddy and the weather chilly,
yet the people did come. Such crowd never
congregated in Walworth county before The
cold, damp ground compelled numbers to leave
from time to time to warm, yet it is generally
and confidently estimated that from $500 to
5000 earnest listeners were crowded around
the stand from the beginning to the end of
Hales remarks. Hunkers Of Hunkers decar-
ed that if Wisconsin could see that her vote
would elect John p. Hale she would this fall
give him such n majority as no other man ever
received from any State in this Union.
John p. Hale may rest assured that he has
reaching out after him the warm sympathies
and affections of thousands of hearts in Wal
worth county.
Sodus, Wayne Co.. N. Y, OCT. Is, 1852
The Independent Democratic nominees have
many warm and ardent supporters here There
are many who will vote the electoral ticket of
the Free Democracy, who will yet act with
their former parties in State and county nomi-
nations. They may move quietly through the
canvass but their ballot will speak the intense
feeling that burns within. The imperious man
date issued at Baltimore, to resist" discoun-
tenance" agitation, will not be obeyed Four
fiths of the people detest that insulting COM
mand in their Utmost souls and neither party
discipline, nor considerations of State policy
will prevent many from expressing by the
omnipotent vote their hatred of slavcholding
dictation and Northern Doughfaceism
Depend upon it, John p. Hale will receive
far larger vote than many Hunker politicians
are expecting. quiet canvass like the pres
ent, is favorable to sound reflection and Judi
cious action.
A County Convention of the Free Democra-
cy is assembled here to-day, and an excellent
and determined spirit prevails. The true-heart-
ed sons of old Wayne will fight on and fight
ever" till the National Government shall be
freed from the dominion of Slavery But though
the cause appears so hopeful, yet we are call
ed to mourn the loss of distinguished laborer
in our ranks, DR.. Levi Gaylord, Freedoms fore
most champion here He died upon the 9th
of September, cheered in his last hours by the
consciousness that he had toied for years in
behalf of the poor and the crushed, and sus-
tanned by the eternal and blessed hopes of the
Christian religion. His end WAS peace
With mind that grappled logically with
every problem presented for consideration, and
with ready willingness to follow wherever
truth should lead, he early enlisted in the Anti
Slavery cause and through years Of doubt and
gloom, of abuse and bitter calumny, he press
ed boldly on. Principle, not success, was the
pole star of his political action. He was
one of the fearless band of six, that in 1910
stepped boldly forth from the Pro-Slaverv par.
ties and cast their votes in this town for James
G. Birney. His name and theirs may not live
in prominence upon the records of earth, but
they will shine where deeds of Christian dar.
ing shall meet their due reward He is gone,
and the memory of his active life il our pre-
cious legacy Truly yours, H. ".

Era whether or not John p Hale is q total alb.

aurora, Kane co., Illinois, Oct. 10, 1852
John p Hale, the man whom all delight to
honor" has been among us and held some
three or four meetings among us. Saturday,
the 10th, he was here, and addressed the thou
sands that had come to hear and see that noble
champion of Freedom. The meeting was large
and enthusiastic; all the towns for miles around
were represented at the meeting, and all ap-
peared TO be satisfied with the representative
of their principles In regard TO his speech, |

Some subscribers are very apt to blame
others for annoyances occasioned by their own
oversight This gentleman ordered his paper
changed 10 one Office, without informing us from
what Office. Did he expect us to know, merely
by mentioning his name, where to find him in
a list of twenty-five thousand : Let us repeat
for the hundredth time-When subscriber
desires his paper changed he must state first,
the Office to which IL is gong, then, the Office
to which it must be tranysred-ED, ERA.
