when no important election is pending and yet
| think the best time to diffuse light into the
public mind is when they are in calm and
reflective mood but If we go mapping along
during the present presidential term, am sure
the slaveocracy will not and we may wake up,
like CULVER among Lilliputians, to find our
selves bound with thousands of cords. My doc
trine is Keep wide awake, and keep doing
and the best course | can pursue, is to 60 to
my neighbor, in his shop or by his Preside, and
talk to him kindly--be sure that il is kindly
let the whole subject be treated with Christian
kindness and afection-and when leave him,
give him tract a speech, or paper, to read
And when | meet him again if he is not con-
verIed, find him so tender that can get &C
cess to his very heart. Yours, L. {.
A,in Arbor, Mich, July 10, 1s53-We think
the cause of Human Rights is gaining in this
State. We have gained complete victory IN
our campaign for the Liquor Law; and as tenn
perance and freedom are twin sisters we hope
ere long to carry the State for freedom.
Jackson Lusqa co., Pa, JUN 10, 1853-En-
closed is one dollar, for six copies of Facts for
the People. We think that, on the whole, the
cause is onward here in jackson. The old par
ties are ashamed Of the Baltimore platforms,
and dislike to hear anything about them.
There is evidently a willingness among the
masses to read on the subject of political re-
form; and it most certainly becomes the duty
of every friend Of freedom to put forth an effort
in behalf of the cause at this favorable mo-

Facts for the People. No people" need
facts on the subject of slavery, worse than
we do. This community has been most wofnl-
ly ignorant Of the motives and movements of
the Anti Slavery party. All the news hereto
fore obtained came principally from country
Hunker presses; purged of course, Of every
thing appertaining to slavery; or, if by some
serving motive, an Anti-Slavery item did pass
the rigid quarantine, it was doctored to death,
distorted, misrepresented and mis-stated, in a
manner to render it more congenial to the
" healthy" atmosphere of the old parties, or
the better to serve their purposes. Copies of
the Era, it is true, were taken here and there,
in locations few and far bstweer, which, like
stars of the first magnitude, cast bright halo
around the families in which they were read
But the light which they shed seemed only to
render the surrounding darkness "more visi-
ble." Not one in hundred would read an
Abolition paper" as they were pleased to call
it, had they nothing else to do; and if by
chance, they heard read from it some startling
fact concerning some Pro-Slavery scheme, they
would stretch up, and with most invincible
sang froid pronounce it an abolition lie"
But, Mr.. Editor, those times are now among

iucted and well sustained. 1t dates only from

ames as subscribers 10 the Era, and also for |
ne hundred and six copies Of Facts for the

az nearly ell of which are taken by individ- |

Being mechanic, and engaged in branch |

N object so worthy as that of circulating the
means Of Anti-SiaUery intelligence; still, all

most cheerfully devoted to that object
