Anti-Slayerv Lecture.

The Rev. T. b. Mccormack of Ohio,
formerly of Kentucky lcctured at Lords
Hall on Saturday evening on the practical
workings OF American Slavery. Mr.. McCorm-
ack is an earnest and able man, and came
to our village endorsed by some of the best
men in this and other Statesmen who do
not volunteer to add the weight of their
names to advance an unworthy man or an
unworthy cause. The Rev. gentleman Is a
good hater of the peculiar institution of the
South. He has suffered at the hands of the
Slave power, and does not stop to choose
the mildest words to express his feelings for
it; but enters into the work in which he is
engaged, with all the earncstness and point
edness which is characteristic OF the Soath-
ern or Western mind, and with all the
warmth Of an earnest soul He speaks with
the confidence of one who knows whereof he
atfirms. Some might object to seeming
harshness when speaking of the system, and
not stop to consider, that we, IT looking
from his standpoint, would not be quite SO
mud and Indifferent as we are. The wonder
is not that a person who has felt the weight
OF the slave powers hand upon him, should
have .teeiing; but that the timd conservative
North, knowing all about this crime of the
age, and how it controls the politics and
the public men Of the Nation, should have
no more.
