HARRISBURG, Angus. &, 1856.
Although personally unknown toyou, yet deem
it ny duty TO the cause OF Freedom ard Fremont,
TO warn you against believing the many ridiculous
stories that are circulated from this place. In your
paper of to-day, you have dispatch announcing
the denomination of the Hon. John c. Kunkel for
Congress by an American County Convention.
This is not the fact and no such Convention was
held at all. But regular Union Convention OF
all the opponents of the present corrupt National
Administration was regularly called and held, in
which the Fremont men, Fillmore men, Americans
and all others opposed, were represented and
the ticket thus nominated is represented by at
least IRE Fremont men out of eleven candidates.
Our able Congressman has proved true to
the cause of Freedom, and will prove true
to Fremont. We have two Fremont papers
in this county (Dauphn), with large circulstions,
and Fillmore none. in Lebanon County, part of
this Congressional District, two papers are pub.
lisl cd. which preferred Fillmore some tune since but
they have both hOisted the Fremont flag within the
last two weeks Such the signs in this part ofthe
State aid Congressional District, and we are gain
ipp largely daily. We have large Fremont Club
established in this borough, and all tho Old-Lne
W hiQs are openly for Freedom and Fremont.

American Anti.Slavery Society.

The twenty second anniversary of the Amer
lean Anti-SlaverY Society was celebrated at
New York last week. The rooms we're crow
ded to their utmost caapcity, and hundreds
were unable to get seats.
Wm.L. Garrison called the meeting TO Or
der, and read the 9th and 7th chapters of
Jeremiah. Theodore Parker, of Boston, Of
lered prayer, after which Mr.. Garrison pres
sented the following resolution
1.Resoired, that organized as it was to eff
ect entire abolition of chattel slavery in our
country, the American Anti-Slavery Society
will not have fulfilled its mission until tho
last slave shall have been set free, and ''liber-
ty proclaimed throughout all the land to all
the inhabitants thereof"
2. Resoiued, that in cause so humane
and righteous, we can know nothing Of wea-
riness or despondency-nothing of concession
or compromise nothing of etfecting truce
or beating a retreat; but, recognising in every
slave "a man and brother asserting his
right to immediate and unconditional eman-
cipation, and procaming the snfulness of
slavehoding under all circumstances, we shall
continue to call men and things by their right
names-to "agitate, agitate, agitate'
ing the oppressor no fepose in his iniqni:y,
and the land no rest, 50 long as single fet-
ter remains to be broken.
3. Resoiued, That slavery has not only
cloven down the rights of its victims, but
impaired the reason and paralyzed the con.
science Of the STAKEHOLDER turning the
South into one vast Bedam, without any re.
stralnt upon its madness; fulfilling the an.
cient declaration, that whom the gods intend
to destroy, they first render insane"
4. Resolued, That the anti-savery sen.
timent which is "bounded by SO degrees 80
minutes North latitude" is unbounded fool.
shness and measureless intatuation.
5. Resoiued, That we are struggling moi
tor non-extenson, but the non-existence Of
slavery-not to make it sectional, but tC
drive 1t out of the land-not to restore tn,
Missouri Compromise, but to terminate al
oompromises-not to repel the aggressions O

DouGLAs's I.iBERALIrY.-Some of the pa
pers have been extelling Senator Douglas for his
lberality in donating ten acres of land worth
$4,000, to the Baptist church. in Chicago.
Another version of the matter was that he had
endowed a college with that amount. The Chi
cago Democrat very quietly pricks the bubble.
1t SAYS:
" Douglas has about seventy acres of land
worth, as il now stands, on an average two
thousand dollars per acre He offers TO give ten
acres of it to any person or corporation that shall
build upon the same such building as he de-
scribes costing at least one hundred thousand
dollars. little to be made on complication of
building. The balance of the land not occupied
by the building to be public park forever. This
would enable him TO sell lots for residences about
the park, and thereby make the remaining sixty
acres worth nearly half a million of dollars,
whilst the whole seventy is worth now only one
hundred and forty thousand dollars.

An Important Letter from JET
ferson.

The Administration papers have been quite
clamorous in their statements that Jefferson
abandonded his ideas of Freedom in his old age.
We are now prepared to show letter from his
own hand, and written less than two months
previous to his death, in which he reiterates the
principles which we some time ago published in
the Freeman under the head Of "Our Land
marks" The Ohio paper from which we copy
this letter, says:
:. In the course Of q recent debate in the
Ohio Senate, Mr.. Heaton, a member, read II
letter from Thomas Jefferson to his father, writ
ten few months before Jetferson's DEATH We
do not hesitate to say that it is one of the most
important letters that ever emanated from his
pen and will be circulated far and wide prov
ing as it does, that the Jefferson who drafted
the memorable ordinance of 'S7, which made
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
free States, was the jefferson of 1926. Recent
ly tho mere unscrupulous of Southern polltl-
clans have insisted that Jefferson became we'd
dcd to the system of African Slavery before he
died. This letter knocks away the last hope OF
the INSCRIPTIONS politicians Of the Slavery
school, of impressIng in their cause the founder
of the Democratic party, and the truest Demo-
erat that ever held sway in this country. His
precepts are considered of the more moment be-
cause he himself was STAKEHOLDER. 1t appears
that more than five years after the passage of
the Missouri Compromise, viz: on The Goth day
of April, 1926, Mr.. Ileaton of Ohio wrote to
Mr. Jefferson fer the purpose Of obtaining his
sentiments on the subject of slave emancipation.
Exactly one month afterwards Mr. Jefferson
wrote reply, from which the following senti-
| ments are published. This letter is written in
Mr.. jefferson Is own hand writing and bears his
frank Ex-President.
MONTICELLO, May 20, 1926.
DEAR Sir Persuasion, perseverance and pa
tience are the best advocates on questions de-
pending upon the will Of others. The revolu-
ton in public opinion which this case requires,
is not to be expected in a day, or perhaps in an
age /; but time, which outliyes all things, will
outlive this evil also. My sentiments have been
forty years before the public. Had repeated
them forty times, they would only have become
the more stale and th.eadbare. Although
shall not live to see them consumated, they
shall not die with me. But living or dying
they will ever be in my most fervent prayers.
This is written for yourself, and not for the
public, in compliance with your request for two
lines sentiment on the sabect
Accept the assurances of my good will and
respect. Tnos JEFFERSON. ~
