Lucy STONE addressed large audience last
ing in the City Hall Her subject Slavery, and
never / am sure, did she make more eloquent eff
ieeye appeal TO the humanity Of her hearers. There
is peculiar magnetism in the tones of her voice
which fails to enkindle the deepest sympathy OF
those who listen, whatever have been the feelings
which impeled their attendance She depicted on this
occasicn in glowing cOOrs the holowness of pop
ular Repubicanism and the puriousness Of 0nr POpu-
ulsr Christianity weighing both alike in the scales Of
absolute justice and truth a1d trying them by the
standard furnished in the teaching Of Jesus Christ
The almost breathless silence of the throng, aud the
tears that wet alike the face Of beauty aud the bronzed
features Of many honest son OF toll "a she depicted
the horrors Ui Slavery or uttered some ennobIing
thought, evinced AZ once her power and the source
whence II was derived IL was plain 10 be- seen that
God was her strength and her hope, and that she had
drank deeply Of the spirit Of Him who came 10 seek
and to save the lost children of men
THIS morning a great crowd assembled At the City
Hall 10 celebrate the second Anniversary OF the Res
cue of the Fugitive Jerry. which TOOK place on the LIST
Of October, ISL. The circumstances of that rescue
are familiar 10 the whole country. The people OF Sy
racuse assembled in the City Hall, the then Mayor in
the chair soemny resolved soon after the passage OF
the Fugitive Slave Law of l-5O that they would
trample that law under their feet il any attempt
should be made 10 execute it ia their midst. Dir.
Webster in speech made here ia the summer oil l-0l,
declared that the law @ORd be executed even IN SYRIA
cuse and he limited that il might be- done during
the next Anti Slavery meeting in the city On the lst
Of October l-jl the Liberty party OF the State held
an AntiSavery Convention here. and the officers OF

yious concert and arrangement in order 10 fulfil Mr..
