Extracts from The Report of the Eighteenth
Anli.Saycry Bazaar,

After detail of the particulars Of the Ba-
zaar aud its success, the writer proceeds:
Daring the latter evenings OF the Bazlar,
we were favored with nd lressrs by Mcssrs.
Quincy, Foster, Gnrrison, Bowdi'ch aud
Phillips. For the very eloquent and impress
siyc speech of the lnst-namcd gentleman on
the subject of Kussuli's visit tn this country,
we refer our readers to the iiherulor Of the
2d of january. II is with much pain that we
feel obliged 10 express our regret at the
course this ilustrious man lios felt himself
ut liberty 10 pursue with respect TO the great
question Of American Slavery. Were it not
tro sad theme for amusement, il might al
most be found in the naive inquiry with
which his apologisis, nuny OF them sincere
Iy Interested IN the progress of antl.slavery
principles seek To shield him from ceusurc
- Had he condemned slavery, would hr
have Obtained either muncY or cOuuicnaurc
from the government or the immense nmlnri-
~ of tke people of The Uniicd StatcsF Very
probably not: hut is that money or couuicn-
anrc uohly obtained when mn express dlsa

great question OF personal OiraerShp, which
undcrcs all political privilege, AL religious
freedom, all legal security, Is slluhlrd OIL ys
u party question, 10 be classcd wiii tdriHS
and hunks and rights of st'liingr, or even
with the prnvcr problem of monarchy or re-
pul,lic Far, far beyond and outside all
these lies the question that now convulscs
the American mind, aud presents, aud will
coutimlin to present itself to the considcra-
finn of European liberalism with potency

li,jonists do not misconstruc NJ. kossutll :
posi,ion Ii is one easily understood. 1hcy
do not suppose that in his secret soul he does
otherwise than dcplore aud condemn hmeri-
can slavery. But he has come to the con
cllsion that. for the sake ol'iiccdom IN Hun
pnry he may sacrifice truth n America
Tho case lies plainly before him. Is tins
country, with one half iis soil no ircer 10
Garrison than is Austria 10 kossuill-thls

the hunting of fugitive slaves, and attempts
TO hnng innocent men refusing 10 cssist w

We again repeat our regret that h, duty n".y
