ED. RMPIER--Are We to have any lectures
this winter, under che auspices Of the Libra
~ Association, or is the thing dead in the
shell2 II seems to me that there Is intelli.
Renoe and liberality enough in the city Of
Dayton to patronise and support aberies Of
good lectures. suppose the directors Of
the Library are afraid to set on foot series
Of entertainments Of the character usual in
such cases made and provided, lest they
would not be sustained IL the Park Ben
jamins, John g. Saxes, Horace Greeleys and
the like, from the far East, are the desider-
atum, then, pray, Mr. Directors, relieve us
from the unpleasant duty Of being bored -
Save us from such "big guns, pseudo liter
Ary men Of this character
Why go all the way to Boston or New
York, at all, and pay lecturers from 500 to
$50 night, into the bargain2 There are,
it is true, few "stars" in those far of re-
gions that we should all like to hear, such as
Everett Bancroft, Chaplin, and Beecher,
and who could draw crowded houses; but it,
is not at all likely that any of them could
be brought here. Then let us not fall back
upon the small fry and dish water orators
whose only merit consists in clap trap and
foolish witticisms. What then, could be
done2 ! say, gentlemen, turn your attention
homeward. We have amongst us talent Of
the first order talent, too, that would com
mand good houses and give tho people real
substantial information, genuine "feast of
reason and aow Of SOUL The services Of
these men could be had for moderate
compensation, and the directors could thus
afford to place tickets in the hands of a
greater number Of families.
What say you, MIR Editor, and what say
the Library Association And finally, what
say our citizens to a course of lectures from
such namts as Thos Corwin, Il c Schenck,
w. S. Groesbeck, G. l.. Valaudigham, Rev
W. L. Conrad, DR.. Thomas and Geo. c.
Crum, together with many other names in
the city and out of it. that we might manner
Hol for the lecturesl d.
We think D. is right, and hope something
will be done. We say, most emphatically,
patronize home talent. IL is our duty, and our
interest also, to do this Moreover, we
have better lecturers here than two thirds
Of the material sent from out from the East
and why not thus seek to develop and sus-
tain our home talent
