bic policy pervades the religious circles, but
God IL above all, and we hope in Him to re-
yiye the spirit of true religion, as exhibited in
the life of Jesus Of Nazareth who went about
doing good"
Vienna, TrumbuH co., Ohio, January, 1853.
The circulation of all Free Democratic papers
is increasing. Our W. K Chronieie is about
! to be enlarged. Now is the time to work--to
SOW seed What the people need is light Il
we had cheap Anti-Slayery manual giving
some important and reliable statistics in regard
to Slavery-the real position of public men,
associations, societies and ecclesiastical bodies
candid but faithful in it's facts and figures
kind and Christian IN its spirit it would be jus,
what the people want.
We forget no suggestions of our friends
About the first of March we think of starting
again our Facts for the People"

send you eleven from here, and six from other
other places, and, had time and opportunity

the people read free Soil" documents, and
have light on the subject, they are with us on
the great question of Freedom and Humanity
All that is wanting is for the people to read
and their consciences will make them act and
do their duty

CentreDiLe, OHIO jan Is, IS53.--We feel
the need of u small, cheap Anti Slavery paper,
something after the fashion of your Facts for
the People" published some years ago in Gin
cinnati. 1t is within my knowledge that ha
small sheet did vast amount OF good. | would
suggest, however, that the paper be published
semi or trimonthly, should you deem it expe
dent to issue such paper, and at as low
price as could be afforded am persuaded i
would result in great good and add materially
to the circulation of the Era
We of the Free Soil cause in this vicinity
have drawn the sword and thrown away tn
scabbard,' resolved to fight until victory o
death ensue'

the land hundred fold When the friend
OF freedom feel the necessity of sustaining the
own presses literally, and each making il in
cumbcnt on himself, of adding at least ten new
subscribers every year to their lists We may
expect n proportionabe increase of influence
and political power | like to listen to an nd
dress ON our political duties from our eloquent
CHAMPIONSHIP freedom and they doubtless hav.
their goOod effect, but the constant reading Of
a jndcious truthful Anti-Savery paper like
the Era, or the Boston Common wedhh, helps
to dissipate the mist which the Wing and Dem
ocratc journals are continually throwing
around this whole subjcct which cannot be sc
readily met and retuted in speech When
therefore, find our friends raising funds IL
establish free presses where they do not exist

presentation Of truth to the mind will in time
ripen into action of the right sort There up
pears hiatus in our political atmosphere Just
now, if except pretty decided family jar in
the Wing household, on account of Mr..
Everett's nomination as United States Senator,
in preference to Mr.. Ashmun. This will doubt
less be healed by some promise to do better
| next time, or the bestowment ON the sufferer
Of the best that remains in their political sham

Hale's cause is regarded by all exalting to hu-

such II President as no would be. God grant
we may all live TO 500 it.
We take great pleasure in transferring to
our columns the following manly comments Of
the Richmond IVA Whip On tha inh,nar
proposition now agitated in the Legislature OF
Virginia in relation to the free colored popula-
ton Of that State The better portion Of the press
is opposed to it, and we do not believe it IL in
accordance with public opinion in Virginia.
