have Just witnessed one of the most inter
esting spectaces which citizen of our Repub-
lie can now be called to look upOn-a brdg-
ing ever of the Ohio-a wipng out Of Ma
son and Dxons line-a partial destruction of
the prejudice betueen North and South.
have seen, perhaps for the first time in the
history of our country, the Northern politician
or statesman cross on tn Southern SOIL and
there discourse to public audiences freely fully,
and faithfully upon the social, moral, and po-
ltical evils of American Slavery.
Our friend Geo w. Julian, of Indiana nom
inee for the Vice Presidency of. the Free De-
mocracy, has, in company with c NJ Clay, ad-
dressed public audiences in Lewis, Mason and
Bracken counties The audiences in Lewis
| and Bracken were not large, but very attentive
| and the impression good
Vigilant efforts We're made to intimidate, and
deter persons from going One of the largest
stampedes perhaps ever known in the State,
and at the same time successful, had Just come
off Ii is said, and regarded rs true, that thir-
ty-two slaves left for Canada few nights pre-
yi0us; yet no disturbance in our meetings
The audience at Maysville was large and re-
ceived Mr.. Julians speech even to applause
| His speech was clear, forcible faithful, and
effective.
Before shareholders and observation-disclosures he
spoke OF the unrighteous character and i'm
neral tendency of Slavery, and the unconsti-
nationality of the Fugitive Slave Bill His
manner was digniiied and gentlcmanly. This
was recprocated by the people of Maysville
At night the City Hail. which is large was
filled to overfiowing to hear the powerful ar
gumcnt and soul-stirring eloquence of c. Nj.
Clay. His speech was indeed a mastery effort
The audience listened with rapt enthusiasm
for two hours, often rising to bursts Of ap-
plausc. The audience was dismissed with
perfect order.
Many citizens pronounced the speech as the
best one they ever heard. Mr.. Julian himself,
who has heard many speeches. pronounced it
one of the best he ever heard Never was
more delighted My highest earthly desire is,
to see slavery abolished in this my native State,
and throughout the world
For several weeks we have had ticket
formed in Kentucky, yet for want of speakers
and time the fact will probably not be known
ever thinks Hale will got five hundred votes in
Madison county, Ny. May God speed the
right JoHN g. FEE.

to give them through the post office. Asa
minister of the Gospel, have n desire that
the great principles Of Gods moral govern
ment, NO nobly and el0quently enforced in these
speeches OF statesmen, may be pondered by
those who hear similar sentiments from the
| pulpit though far better expressed, and with
| an influence on some minds far more powerful
and eficacious, than by a humble pastor like
myself Their moral effect must he good and
will lead many minds, not deeply imbued by
partisan feelings, to carry out those foundation
principles Of moral recttude in their political
action.
| ! have for n number of years viewed with
| alarm the influence Of the Slave Power, and
have reOiced that there was one paper, mt
least, like your own, which opposed on the
right ground the extension Of that power
Many ministers, as well as myself, have also
rejolced in this fact, prayed and voted in ac-
cordance with these views They have exerted
some influence in this direction and they do
receive such laborers ~ the authors of such
speeches and editorials az c0-workers with
them in their opposition TO human slavery and
in their vindcation OF the government of God,
which il No maniestly arrayed against all hu-

Of the November election. At no time since
the beginning Of the Ant-SIavcry agitation,
could 80 fair and respectable II hearing be had

talents into the country towns, or 10 our cities,
and the Free Democrat will be able to address
much larger audiences than either of the others
