EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
CouderspOrt Pa, Sept live have just
formed Democratic Club, intended to be
permanent organization, for the diffusion Of the
principles of genuine Democracy. The vote Of
Porter county will be such Il one as will cause
the true friends of Freedom to rejoice and
gather fresh courage. There is one county at
least in Hunker-ridden Pennsylvania, where
the people cannot be frightened from the course
of duty by any attempts to "resist or 'depre-
cateD free discussion. n. l. 0.
Decatur, Ohio, Sept. lS.-The nominations
Of Hale and Julian suit us exactly. In our
township (Decatur) the vote in lS48 was Van
Buren, so, Taylor so, and Cass 81. We will
do better for Hale this year. C., J. l..
&enta, Ohio, Sept l3-Send me 50 worth
of Mr.. Summers speech on the Fugitive Slave
Law, with the law annexed, if possible, as |
find many of my Wing friends deny or won't
believe that such law ever passed, and also
the best authority that Gen. Scott used his in
tluence for its passage have been Free
Soil Wing and Colonizationist for thirty odd
years. B.

Most of the above are young men, just be-
come voters Most of the young men in this
own are leaving their fathers good old way,
md becoming good Free Soil men; and not
'nly the young men, but great change has
,ome over the older ones
Lincoln, Ohio Sept. "a, lS52-Hale and
Ihase have just been with us, lat Mt. Glead
N the 22d and rejoiced the hearts of a. much |
anger assemblage of the people than either of
he Hunker parties have yet been able to call |
nut. One thing struck me as particularly note
worthy that among the fifteen hundred or
more ladies and gentlemen assembled in the
,rove to listen to the speaking, there was the
most perfect order and decOrum observed and |
-ou might have almost heard pin drop y in
hat vast audience in the intervals between |
he frequent hearty demonstrations of applause
With which the speakers were greeted.

of John J. Hale and George w.
ulian by the Free Democracy at the Pitts
,urgh Convention, and the adoption of plat
orm by the same, based upon the immutable
principles of truth and justice-principles
which commend themselves to the good sense
# thinking politicians, as well Us to the mass
It large-waS followed by Mass Convention.
leld at this place on the list instant Hundreds
we're gratified to listen to those veterans of the
cause, Hon. J. R. Giddngs and
Ion. Samuel Lewis, who have given an impetus
o our cause, which trust will continue to in
,rease until the mass will be induced to act
or freedom. A Convention has been held by
he Free Democracy of this county, and nomi-
rated county ticket. And, as far as my OBJ
ervation extends, think there has never been
| period since the first formation of the Liberty
'arty, when more zeal and spirit has been
than there is at the present time
md if our Anti-Slavery friends of the other
,Quntles OF this State exert themselves as they
10 in this county, and all unite in vigorous
effort at the ensuing election, we may expect n |
vote in this State for Hale and Julian. which |
will tell a tale to the Hunkers and Doughfaces
OF the Wing and Democratic parties that will |
cause mighty shaking in their ranks Al |
ready do we number some men of influence |
from the other parties, men who will honor our
cause. There now appears to be crisis in the |
affairs OF this Rcpubic-a time when of all |
others the Anti Slavery host should act prompt |
y and decidedly, 1t is not enough for us to |
pass silently along and deposte our vote but |
get as many of our friends to vote with us MS |
we can. The public mind is convinced of the |
right of our cause, and all that is wanting is
to induce them to action if that can DO done
John 7. Hale would occupy the White House
for the next four years,
The freemen Of the North have been misused
quite long enough by the aggressions of the
Slave Power and when insult upon insult has
been added to injury, any further forbearance
ceases to be u virtue, and every Free Democrat
in principle should throw off the shacklcs of
party and not only agitate, but carry their
principles to the ballot-box.

the friends of reform who are interested, that
the Academic department of this institution

December to the first OF March. The manual
labor feature of this institution, as well a. the
