FROM INDIANA.

BOURBON. Marshal Co. a., March. 1858.
DEAR FRIEND ROBINSON; / write 10 let yon
know something Of the results Of your radical lee,
lures in this vicinity.
Soon after you left, n discussion was held as tie
result Of the challenge given by DR.. Irwin at your
lecture at Etna Green. z Bolton aud Others were
the Dlctor's opponents. The question e slavery
was pretty thoroughly discussed. The DR.. present
ed himself with n massive vile Of documents
which, IL ! ha been his only opponent, would
have made me feel like tho boy no made n bet an
swimming. HIS con- retitor appearing With IL bun
die Of It",isi'ns IN his lax. and Icing asked bat
it was Tor. replying he wanted Spnc'hins; to eat an
HE journey, 80 thoroughly alarmed him that he
refused to swim. 81 the Doctors documents
made me doubtful Of my ability To swim with him
But after all his provisions his swimming was no
thing very extraordinary. lie immediately took
the ground that the slaveholier' have n right
to eli. cir slaves ~ we t. our horses ana cattle
because they paid their money for them, so you
can guess of his principles ard talents. That il
the end Of the D,ct r FOR the present.
Next. We hnd u discussion at our school hous",
Qmestiun-'I l. it safe or cxpedient to dissolve the
Union. The Reverend James. Methodist minis
ter. oppnsed ns. and The Reverend Carter, n Bap,is,
minister Of Bourbon helped US. There were a
great many persons "nt. and We had a very cxeit
ing time. We adjourned to meet in enc week ~
Etna Green. There they hrnught forth their
Reverend James fought side hy side. with b Shin
to aid them. also others. though they did rot seem
to pull exactly in the same traces. The Doct7r
was out and nut for slavery. The Reverend jaime,
thought it was not just the thing it should be. but
apriugised for he robbers Of human rights. They
touk almost all points Of the compass. 1t was ,

salt the Uuiou saviors can collect. it is turnin,
greener and greener in the eyes of Community
so that it has become q stencil in the nostrils of
great many of the Republicans, and, in fact, som
of the Democracy think it begins to smell prett
strong. Surely liberty and slavery canno, be par

cursed in Congress and out Of Congress, in tn
Senate and out Of the Senate, and for once ire,
dom has picked up courage to play with her ow

DEATH OF LUCRETIUS BIsSELL.

AUsTlNBukG, april III, 1000.
Eolrr R ANrI.SLAvEsy BUjLs: Sir-Knowiug
Mr.. Bissell. recently deceased. to be a friend and
patron Of your paper, and probably we'll known t.
the most of your readers rs an Anli'Slavery man,
I have thought that some notice Of his death would
be proper through your columns.
Lucretius Bissell. Esq, Of Austinburg, Ashta.
bula Co.. o. died on the 2OIh of FEBRUARY, 1858,
little more than three months subsequent to the
death Of his wife. Although he has left no chill
dren 10 mourn his lnss. We! a large. circle Of int.
mate friends are in mourning for him. lie was
widely knnwn, and IA widely lnved aud veneratcd.
His fine social qualities and kindly nature drew to
him many friends. Indeed, considering his char
acter and relations, as n man holding the general
man, and a church member. no ono in our CON.
would be missed more than he.
lie was just one of Those persons who fill the
place in society. Large. natural, endowed
nth quick sympathies. an ufiuence Of affection
and rare buoyancy CT spirits. all loved to meet
lie was such an ample man in soul a. IN
l,dy, that all iound hnspitable entertainment in
him whether il were cumpanion.hip. counsel,
in,sllige ce. gnod cheer; or charity they sought.
In domestic life he was kind. affectiunate, and
greatly beloved. and his hearthstone. was always
bright and cheerful. 1t seems a kind Pr1videnct
thai two so closely hound together as were M
and his vic. should not long be separated. bu
should be permitted SO soon to join each olheI
in the better land.

see that you fall into the samc error that some

Of the Philadelphia Conference. II sas at EaS,on

in danger. He dare not enter Maryland his native

against him..
had a conversation to-day with my old friend
Charles Robinson, Ex-Topeka Governor Of Kansas
as he passed through town on his return to that
notable State.
He is quite ~sanguine that Kansas is a Free State

peal to popular prejudice, and sought 10 cast odinn
upon Republicans by asserting that this new Fre'

Instead of defending this noble POSITION Of til,
L~ra,enworth Constitution and g~lorying in it a.
evidence Of Republican principle, the Cincinnn:
Gazette denies Tho stnt,men aud copies the articl,
Of the Constitution TO prove it. The article is a,
follows:
"ArIiclc . Section ] In NIL elections not otbcr
