Sin am in receipt Of your calling my attention TO
communication in the Union Of this day on the cause OF
the destruction OF the Little Falls bridge
In reply have TO say that was with you when you
took from The wreck of the span which fell the Maryland

covered with paint also found, from an examination
which made that the top chord was fractured in several
places and had been in that state for time, that

GRANVILLE SHARP, THE PRILANTHRO.

On Monday evening last, the opening lecture of
the course to be delivered before the Boston Mcg-
camille Library Association was given in the Ire
mont Temple, by Hon. CHARLES SUMNER. Every
thing onspircd to make it most unuroptious
evening for sccuringa full attendancc-the long
protractcd ran-storm still continuing and the ex-
element being general in the city to obtain the
earliest election returns-yet the spacious Templ,
was entirely filled ny an Intelligent and highly au-
preciatiye audience. On Mr.. Sumner taking the
platform, he was greeted with repeated rounds of
applause, indicative ut the enthusiasm which lis
manly conduct at Washington has enkindIcd in the
breasts of Northern rcemcn. With admirable
judgement and tact, he chose for his theme the life
and services of GRANVILLE SHARP, the British phi
lanthroplst, to whom the world is wholly indebted
for the rreyocable decree that the slave who sets
his foot ON British ground becomes that instant
free ; who preceded CLARKsoN and WuBrRroRCE in
seeking the abolition Of slavery and the slave trade
and surpassed them in clear-s ghtedness and fdc!-

THE UNION.

Remarks Of Miss Lucy Stone before the Penn
slyvania Anti-Slavery Convention:
cannot for the life of me understand the love
of the Union which the voters of this country
everywhere profess. If were in position where
could exercise the right of franchise, am sure
could be no lover of this Union. Why does any
man north of Mason and Dixon's line wish to cling
to Union that only brings him disgrace and
shame? A Union in which, if II Northern man
dares in particular lattitgde to utter sentiments
of freedom, endangcrs his life! A Union in which
if he finds a fellow man south of certain line
with the yearnings of liberty in his breast, and
helps to rescue him from the clutches of the worst
Of tyrants, he is not only branded as traitor, but
risks his own liberty and life, And yet professed
