Jcaer&on,s birthday In Washington.
Correspondence Ut thu Evening poss.J
WAsurSG7oS, April IT,
The most singular event in our local town his
try is the celebration Of Jclcrson's birthday,
ly the little band Of Republicans here. This is
:: slow city, You must remember, and the Re-
l,ub|icans did not hcsitutc to hold up Jefferson
as IN auti-s}Arery re{ormcr-
The largest hall in the town was taken, and to
tue surprise Of the Republicans, the apartment.
WAS entirely filled. Hundreds eaue out uf
curiosity to see Jefferson, or, us one Of our
prints declares, .approprinte Jefferson to par
t:>an purposes" 1t was not this, but to set
Jefferson Alright before community accustom-
It! to his worship as if he were 4 modern Eir-
I,;nian slavery defender.
The veteran Mr. Blair, Of Silver Spring,
Maryland. took the chair, and Major French,
formerly Clerk Of the House Of Representatives,
read the Declaration Of Independence. Mr.
];!air then delivered G fifteen minutes speech
uon sone Of the traits in Jefierson's pnblic
Character, when Daniel Il. Goodloc, Of North
Carolina, followed with an oration upon the life
and times of Jefferson. The speeches Of boil,
gentlemen were well received, aud frequently
i:.e uttcrance of anti-slarery sentiments CALLED
firth applause. and, certainly, not once hiss.
This audience must haye been nlnde up Of the
citizens Of Washington, and probably not one
truth were Republicans. Their conduct shows
that great change has taken p!uce Since the
tue when the National Era office was besieged
l.: mob. and DR.. Bailey was mcuaccd in his
'.'iyate dwelling. venture to say that within
'"o years after Republican President is elect
+', the politics Of the city will be Republican;
aud within ten years of such an event slavery
w1 be abolished in the District.
