DEATH OF ELLIOTT ericsson.

We are panied to record the death OF Elliott
Cresson, Esq, Mt his mothers residence, in this
city, early yesterday morning, after brief i'll
ness.
Mr. Cresson was born in Philadelphia, the
I4th Of March, 1894, and was consequently, IN
the Goth year of his age at the time OF his
death. The whole Of his manhood has been q
scene Of activity and devotion to public inter
esta, and the general welfare of mankind. For
Il short time he was engaged in mercantile pnr-
suits, but left them, and dedicated himself to
the civilization and Christianization Of Africa,
by the agency Of her own sons from this land.
In the prosecution OF this mission, he on several
occasions visited, with great success various
portions Of the United States and in 1892 made
a VOYAGE to Great Britain, laboring there, as
at home, without fee or reward. At the or
ganization Of the Phiadelphia School Of De-
sign, under an act Of incorporation, he was
elected its President; and it is worthy Of re-
mark, that in addition to many successful Of.
forts in it's behalf his last public act was to
attend meeting Of its Board Of Directors, on
last Tuesday evening
Mr.. Cresson was mover married. He leaves
q widowed mother, two sisters, and one brother.
Possessed of handsome competency, he was o
liberal distributor Of the means with which a
bountiful Providence had blessed him. We
have reason to believe that by his will drawn
q few months since, his entire possessions are
set apart in individual and associated charities
of the city Of his birth. As friend, he was
true as citizen, spirited and devoted as q
philanthropist disinterested and generous. In
all the relations of life, ZEAL ability and intel
ligence, characterized his efforts and services.

A WORD FROM KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. Is, 1854.

LOUISVILLE KY, FEB. l6, 1884
To tie Editor of the National Era.
Enclosed find two dollars, my annual SUBJ
scripton for the National Era.
Thinking you would like to know something
of public sentiment in this, the Commercial
Emporium Of Kentucky, respecting Douglass
Nebraska bill, have cut out, and herewith
enclose YOU editorial articles from the Louis
vile Journal and the Louisville Courier Of to-
day, giving an account of what was to be the
great Nebraska meeting in Kentucky at
tended the meeting in company with others
decidedly opposed to the objects which that
meeting was called to promote, and can testify
to the correctness Of the amusing account Civ
en- by the editor of the Courier.
The meeting as demonstration Of public
sentiment in aid of the Douglas Nebraska Bill,
was not only failure, but q most contempti-
BILE and ludicrous failure. With all the Office
holders and of6ce-seekers to aid them, these
Missouri Compromise repealers could not drum
up 100 men, all told, out Of population of
10000; and many of these were mere listless
attendants or decided opponents.
The opening and closing remarks Of the only
speaker, Major Caldwell-an ex-member Of
Congress, whose speech was coarsd out Of him
tell the whole tale.
Gentlemen said he, 81 did not come pre-
pared with speech; and when | look around
and see the thinness Of this audience, and feel
the GOODNESS Of this large and bleak room,
think IL absolutely cruel on your part, to ask
me to speak ON this OCCASION
The Major, however did make an effort re-
peating substantially the arguments of Senator
Douglas in his attack on Senator Chase, and
closing, a. near rs can rocollect as follows:
"Gentlemen, it 10 useless for me to detain
you longer. My assurances from Washington
are, that this Nebraska Bill will pass the Sem
ate and House Of Representatives by decided
majorities. All the Southern members will 20
for it with one or two exceptions, and enough
Of NORTHERN MEN TO carry IL triumphsntly
through The North will gruplbls, and grosoi,
and protest, as she always has done in similar
cases, but they will finally oil submit, with tho
exception Of few miserable fanatics; and
then all, or nearly all, Of the Territory Of the
Government viii be open to Southern Institn-
tons, and the great Democratic doctrine OF
Popular Sovereignty be firmly and finally es.
tabishedn
Let me say ono word as an Anti-Slavery
Kentuckian to yourself and readers. IL the
North and East are firm and united in their
opposition TO the Nebraska bill, and will arouse
the dormant Anti-Slavery sentiment that has
for the sake Of peace and quict 80 long permit.
ted itself TO slumber, believe that the honest
and conservative feelings of the people in the
Southern States will generally manifest them
selves in opposition TO breaking down the time
honored landmarks established by the Com
promise OF 1920
