The Great Awakening.

The spirit of revival which has sprung
up throughout the whole country, and is
now prevailing to SO great an extent, and
to the JOY of thousands, is truly astonishing
to those who know not of the workings and
power of the Spirit of God. 1t cheers the
hearts of Christians, and prompts them to
more importunate pleadings at the throne of
grace. The prominent topics in the daily
papers is but the chronicling of its progress.
The following account Of Prayer Meeting
at Burton's Theatre is from the Tribune:
"The meeting at the Theatre on Satur-
day appears to have been more than usual
impressive. 1t was announced before hand
that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher would
be present to take charge of the exercises !;
which fact may account for the overhowing
audience that gathered there on that day.
Half an hour before the time appointed for
the meeting, the house was filled to over
flowing. In the pit, galleries, parqucttO
and bar-room, every disposable inch of space
was occupied. AT u o'clock, Mr.. Beecher,
made his appearance. After tho congrega-
ton had sung the Hymn beginning: 81
love thy Kingdom Lord" he read portion
Of Luke Is, and when he came to the verse,
"Then drew near unto him all the publicans
and sinners TO hear him." he said: "Blessed
be God, the same thing is being repeated
now" A large bundle of writted requests
for prayers were on the table, so large, that
they could not all be read. Mr.. Beeeher,
in alludng TO the fact remarked that early
in the fall, it was easy to count tho falling
leaves; but when the frosts had come, and
the winds shook them, they fell in showers;
so with the impoHunings and wishes Of
those who were touched by the influences Of
the spirit. A gentleman offered up prayer
in the 'parquette." Another prayed in the
"drcss circle" remembering Mr.. Burton, the
owner of the building, in his suppication.
Another presented himself at the @foot
lights" and prayed that the great Father
would show Mr.. Burton that there was a
! God Mr.. Burton was present, and heard
tho interest manifested in bis behalf. A
gentleman in tho ''orchestra" spoke of thc
numbers that waited on Peters preaching
and hoped that similar effects might follow
here. There was heard tho sound of dis
tant singing Mr.. Beecher arose and said
"Brethron, do you hear thatl LISA hymn
Of praise from the bar-room. Lctus sspcn(
a few moments in silent prayer and thanks
With one accord the whole congregation
bowed their heads, in the attitude of devo
ton, and no sound was heard, but tho mu
sic from the bar-room Tho scene was al
deeply impressive, says tho Tribune, as an!
ever enacted withing those walls. A mer
chant, with his eyes full of tears, told 0
conversion of his two children. An ole
man in the pit said he had been trying t'
live christian life for sixty years. H'
+ was converted 10 1893, but this was his frs

More Democratic spite nt CoIored CitI-

] zens.
Mr.. Kincaid's bill ip the Senate to tax,
harrass, fine, imprison, and drive colored
citizens out of the State, and to prevent
lcolored people from coming in under the
pains and penalty of a law that would dis
grace Texas or Arkansas, has now its match
in the House, only if possible of blacker
hue. 1t is a bill introduced by Mr.. Chase,
! of Stark county, the title of which is, "a
bill to prescribe the duties of Judges of
Elections in certain cases, and preserve the
purity of elections" good title to most
foul provisions.
The bill makes it the duty of the Judges
Of Elections to reject tho votes of persons
reputed to be in whole or part of African
descent; and the second section provides
that 'any person who is roputcd to be in
whole in part of African descent, who shall
vote at any such election, shall, on convic-
ton thereof be imprisoned in the county
jail of the proper county, not more than
three months, nor less than one month";"
Persons counsoling or advising such per-
sons to voto are subject to Il fine not exceed
! ing $500, and to imprisonment in the couu-
ty jail not more than six nor less than ono
month. Judges of elections receiving such
vote to be fined in any sum not exceeding
$500, and imprisoned from one 10 six
months. Prosecutions to be by indictment
in Conrt Of Common Pleas, and Judges to
give the act specially in charge to the Grand
Jury at each term of the Court.
Can Democratic ncgrophobia 90 further?
1t is deliberately proposed to disfranchisc
all persons reputed to be in whole or in part
lof African descent-many of thom native
citizens Of Ohio--men of education, intelli-
gence, property, and moral worth-citizens
who have voted under the decision of the
Supreme Court of the State at former cleo
tions-and not only to disfranchise such, but
to degrade them with imprisonment for ex-
ercising the dearest right of American
Freemen.

FREMONT: OHIO.
Friday, March 26, 1858.


The great fraud has been successful in
the Senate. In regard to the prospect of its
passage in the House, tho Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says
81, however, know that it will pass by a
considerable majority. Ohio will give four
Democratic votes; Gilmer Of North Caro-
lima may be relied on to 20 for it; Caru-
thers, of Missouri will be here in n few DAYS
and Ricaud and Harris, of Maryland, are
supposed to favor Lecompton. Taking
this view of tho strength, we find that, in.
stead of being carried by the vote of the
Speaker, it will have clear majority ol
seven. a majority of ten is claimed by q
large number of close observers"
The struggle in the House will now be
moro intense than ever and there is no
probability that it can be brought to vote
for several days yet.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1858-03-26

The Washington Union is daily denoun-
cling Douglas, Stuart, Broderick and Co., as
Apostates, and hands them over to the Alb
olitionists. The Lecompton question it
styles-"The great test question not only
of parties but of the Constitution and the
Union. II says of "tho Democrats who
have recently apostasized," that:
"As to the Democratic party, these apos-
tates are not with it or of it; because they
lead the onslaught of tho abolitiouists
against its policy and men. The Democ-
racy, who are receiving their malignant
and violent blows, have no option but to
fight them as enemies. As to the Black
Republican party, they seem to have as lit
tie hesitation in recognizing the true posi-
ton of these men. They openly boast of
them rs co-laborers."
And now that the Senate have passed
Lccompton without the votes of Douglas
Stuart, Broderick d Co., the denuncatious
from the Union will be ten fold moro vim
dictive.

From the CM,ago Times. (Douglus pomoerat)
Ono-half these cut.throats and ballot-boS
suffers arc awaiting their commissions ms
officers Of The General Government. Land
offices, Indian agencies, &c, are 10 be be.
slowed upon these outcasts, as soon as the
Democratic party at the North shall be do.
featcd in every State in which the Lecomp.
ton fraud shall be endorsed.
Lecompton, in all its hideous deformity
ovcr-shadows all things at Washington
A defaulter was recently summoned there
and the alternative was offered him, five
years in the Peniicntiary, under the Sub
Treasury law, for taking public money, OF
an Office and declaration in behalf of Le.
compton. He chose tho office; but what a
commentary upon Lecomptonsm, whom tc
support that measure is considered an offset
in degradation to an imprisonment Of five
years in the Penitentiary The same de.
termined feeling to make all men and all
things public interest and public right in
cludod---io submit to Lecomptonism, pre-.
vades all places. The greatest men at
Washington are some thirty members ol
Congress, whose sole aim is the dissolution
of the Union; they are frantic with delight
The disruption of the Democratic party
North promote the designs of such men as
these. The Lecompton measure is such n
gross violation of all the pledges made in
the North during the Presidential canvass,
that the disunionists Judge rightly in sup
posing that no man at the North who sus.
tains il can hope 10 be sustained And on
the other hand, they agree that if the Le-
compton men can muster strength enough
to defeat the Democracy, that then Repub.
licanism will possess the whole North
Such result they hope to achieve by the
passage Of tho Lecompton measure.
