no We learn from the Boston papers that, on the

Slavery lectures g ven at fremont Temple by
Hon. Arson Burlingame, of the Know-Nothing
members elect from Massachusetts. Governor Gard
ner, Lieut. Governor Brown, Hon. Robert Rantoul,
Hon. Henry Wilson, Senator elect, and other distln-
guished gentlemen were on the platform.
Before introducing Mr.. Burlingame, DR.. Howe
stated that letter had been received from Hon. NJ
P Banks in which he announced his inability to de-
liver any lecture in the ant-savey course on account
Of the ssity for his presence at Washington dur
ing the coming week. In his place Frederick Douglass
has been engaged for next This week. Hon. N. P.
Banks who is thus atprnated or exchanged with the
notorious Fred douglass is the great gun whose
Know Nothing speech in Congress has been hailed
with SO much enthusiasm by the Know Nothing press
of the South.
Mr. Buringame, in the course of his remarks, re-
ported by the Boston Telegraph, organ of the par"
ty, said, g. If asked to state specifically what he
would do he would answer-1st, repeal the Nebras-
ka Bill End, repeal the Fugitve-Slave Law I'D,
abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia ;-4th a
bosh the inter State SIave.trade; next he would de-
clare that Slavery should spread to inch of the
territory of the Union" MIR. B. further remarked
that "He was encouraged by the recent elections in the
North; and he defended the new movement which
he said was born of Puritan blood, and was against
despotism of all kinds. This new party should be
Judged, Ike others, by its fruits. 1t had elected

Al the conclusion of MIR. Burlngame's lecture, the
audience called upon Mr.. Wilson, the newly elected
Senator. The corrected report Of his speech, pub
lshed in the Boston atlas, (Whig,) is as follows:
