For the Freeman.
Miss Stone and the Inquirer.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 noticed that the last num-
Der of the Freeman gave the Free Soil party of
Orange Cnnnty duo credit for being awake, and
entering into the present political campaign with
zeal worthy of the cause IN which we are en-.
gagged.

against US, our task is not easy, nor our labor
light, but having unfu,ed the flag of Freedom,
under it we mean to fight until the accused in.
sttution of Slavery shall not find foot hold,
much less sanction, under this nomnaly re
publican Government. The cause in which we
are engaged. is one of the utmost Importance,
and the insruInenaties used to enlighten the
public mind in reference to the enormity of the
evil which we seek to eradicate, should not be
few nor Intellectual. .-t.
In common with the friends of Freedom
throughout the County, look upon the mission
of Miss Stone among US as one calculated to
result in grea, good to the cause OF universal
Freedom. In this pace,a large and respectable
audience assembled U The Methodist Chapel,
and long before the hour of lecture that conf
modIous house was filled to it's utmost capacity.

slave, for cogent, chaste and feeling sentiments,

heard, and was every way credtabe to the head
and heart Of Miss Stone. She fairly charmed
the audience into perfect stiffness, which was
moi broken from the commencement to its close.
The effect was good, and her lecture will be re-
membered and cherished bv those who heard it,
long after the popinjay Editor of the Northern
Inquirer has sunk into oblivion.
The severe cas,Igation which duty compelled
her TO give the Editor Of the Inquirer, for the
foul-bralned, indecent article which made it's
appearance in his paper previous to her arrival
evident intent of that article, was to prejudice
the public mind against this popular adyoca,ress
for humanity and right, but SO Indignant were
the whole community at its appearance. that
even those who were foremost in their opposition
to her, could but admit that her cutting rebuke
to the Editor of the Inquirer was but giving hun
his just deserts. ....

Not satisfied however, with his former attack
on Miss Stone, this famous Editor comes out in
his last paper and makes hlnself, if possible
even more ridiculous than before, and accuses
her OF scamperng about The County TO amuse
the vicious, and minister to vulgar CURIOSITY"
just as though her lecture was attended by Nope

OF The proPrieiers of the Inquirer thought it not
