A FIELD FOR LECTURERS.

Mr.. EDIT ,R:-Will you permit coun-
|tryman to ask question through the
columns of your paper? / have for the
last four years been living in country
town, which is about ffty-one miles from
philadelphia, and | think it is ninety miles
| from New York, with railroad leading to-
both. What / want to ask is this Why
lis it that some of your good speakers do
not come up this way? What is the use
of their going over the same ground all the
time, when there are other places for them
to work? Here is ground that has never
been ploughed by any of the Anglo Afri-
can race. There are ninety or hundred
Thousand white persons in this neighbor-
hood, and | cannot help thinking that there
is some who are our friends, but, withal
| know that we have great many enc
mics among them; therefore, | hope that
there will be some steps taken in this mat
tier. We may put out hundred news
papers, yet they will not do any good in
this part of the country, for it must be Wis
|ited by some good and able men, who can
speak on any and every subject.
| am often asked, where are all your
good speakers? Why don't they come up
this way? We would like to hear them
| hope that if any lecturer should make up|
ibis mind to visit us, he will let me know
$50 that | may provide place for him and
make other necessary arrangements Let
one come that can take hold of any sub
ject o,R.w.

OUR TROY LETTER.

Troy, n Y, Dee, II, 1859
Mr.. EDIToR:-On Monday last the body
LOT the late John Brown passed through
this place on its way to It's final resting
place in the northern part of the State, and
Nit caused some little excitement. The
body was accompanied by Mrs. Brown,
Wendell Phillips, Esq, and two gentle
men from New York and Philadelphia.
The coffin, of course, was not opened, al
though the desire to see the body was very
sgreat; the square pine box in which the
acof6n was enclosed, was at one time in i'm
eminent danger of being hacked. to pieces,
$50 great was the desire to obtain some relic
sof the departed hero, and the box had to
be removed to a room at the depot where
Ut could be locked up, in order to prevent
sits being almost cut up. Although no
! great interest has been manifested here at
amy time concerning this late affair, yet on
Monday quite a number of people hocked
Ito the depot to see the coffin of that excel
lent man. On Friday last an excellent
meeting was held here at the Liberty St.
Presbyterian (colored) Church, in behalf
4 of the late hero; prayers were offered, and
some very fine speeches were also made.
On Thursday | attended a lecture be-
fore the Young Mems Association, deliver
led by DIR. g. B. Windship, of Boston, who
lis said to be the strongest man in America
1 His subject was physical culture. He is al
very fine looking young man, about TWEEN
sty-six years of age, his whole appearance
denotes great muscular strength. His lee
ture was by no means brilliant one, yeti
lit was full of common sense remarks i
Neither did he give as much instruction or
advice about cultivatiug the physical orr
ganization, as was expected; yet, taking
the lecture as whole, it was very enter
tanning.
Next week Wendell Phillips, Esq, lee
lures before the Association on Toussaintl
IL Overture, and as know it will be AMI
excellent lecture, shall endeavor to givel
you some account of it. VIM james,
Watkins, Esq, passed through this Scity
ION Wednesday, on his return home from|
ALBANY, where he has been speaking be-
fore some very large audiences.
In speaking of the John Brown affair inI

have said that the children attending theI

Resolred, That we rejoice in the formation OF
this society, as valuable aid in the glorious work
of emancipation and we do herewith renew our
devotion to the sacred cause and pledge ourselves
before God and the people to leave no effort UNI
tried no stone unturned until the black and
dastardly crime of American slavery is wiped from
the soil by peaeeable means, if it can, forcbly, if
it mast.
Resotred, That while we discountenance politics
in the pulpit, we believe that the time has now
come, when every pulpit in our land white and
black, should sound forth earnestly and fearlessly
the judgments Of God on this guilty nation, whose
hands are stained with human blood, and their
advocates, wherever found; and when every church
should imprint over its doors, in inefaeeable char
acters, +" No connection with slavery"
Resolred, That these resolutions be published in

William Wells Brown had crowd att
the above church on the 2Sth inst, to hear
his lecture on ''The Heroes of Insurrec-

lpen, the platform, and the sword, and
adorned the subject with several Apostle
historical illustrations, and with personal
"reminiscences of John Brown.
Among the many excellent discourses
which the Harper's Ferry scenes have elic-
fitted from clergymen, that of Rev. E. M

Music Hall, Boston, last Sunday, is I'M
greatest demand. 1t is revolutionary, be-
ling emphatically ''the words for the

Rev. f. O. Haven, editor of 'Zion's
Herald" in his discourse at Cambridge
port, dwelt at much length on the import
!ance at this crisis and henceforth of fra
lternal treatment of the people towards
their colored fellow citizens Rev. j.
Freeman Clarke and many others have al

lments
You have of course noticed the speech of
REV j. M. Manning, of the Old South
Church, at the fremont Temple meeting,
land the prominence he gave to that histor-
zeal day, March 9Th, 1870, and its heroic
martyr, the colored American, Crispus At

December, ?, 1859
The day set apart by the Virginia au-
thorities for strangling John Brown whose
crime, i'll the Judgment of this wicked ma
ton, was his faithful application of the
golden rule to man, irrespective of his com
plexion.
The weather here is unusually warm for
4 the season, which, being remarked by a
friend, was commented upon by another to-
] the effect that Virginia has this day gene
rated fame that will spread throughout
/ and neat up the whole Union, and which,
before being extinguished, will melt the
chains from the limbs of every slave from
THE Atlantic to the Pacific W G.. N.

BENTON in the village, and elected consid-
serable admiration.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, permit me,
/ 50 to speak, to second the motion of Met
8amora in favor of petitioning for the cleo
tive franchise. To do this, we need not
sget up State convention, pass resolutions
/ &c, but every reader of the African"
swho feels an interested in the subject, may
sobtain signatures to a petition and have it
presented at the coming session of the
Legislature. True, we may not obtain our
] rights this year or the next, but the effort
will not be lost If the demand is pressed
/ with vigor, it will remove the shameful
brand that we are contented with an in
Esulting and injurious Acknowledgement; a
discussion of the question will be provoked.
/ 1t may also make it an issue in State pol
=itics, from which we are now excluded If
/ there is a friend in Trenton who will take
charge of petitions, it is hoped he will over
come modesty, pro tenn, and give the peo-
/ pie of tho State his address.
Another suggestion. Some property
holders might do the cause efficient service
by refusal to pay taxes, on the ground
! that taxation and representation should go
together Of course the tax would be col
lected, but the virtual robbery that would
be committed in such case, might be turn
ed to good account, especially in town
or city. 1t would furnish an occasion for
discussing the question in the papers and
elsewhere. APPS

Mr.. ED1ToR:-At a meeting held at
|Quinns' Chapel on the 30th ult., to form
IAN anti-slavery society, the following reso-
luton, commemorative of the late lamented
j John |. Gaines, was adopted:
Resotued, That we learn with deep and unfeign-
ed regret that the noble John Gaines has recent
Fly departed this life that recognize in his de-
cease the extinguishment of great light among
sus; that in him the cause of freedom and the
cause of education have lost one of their most eff
6cient and indefatigable supporters and that we
hereby tender his bereaved family an expression
5of our sincere coincidence.
Rev. j. +. James addressed the meet
ling. He paid glowing tribute to Mr..
Gaines unfaltering perseverance and sue
scess in obtaining for the colored people of
cincinnati the control of their schools, and
the funds long withheld from them. His
sunsullied probity, his persistent advocacy
sof the anti-slayery cause, his consistent de-
pertinent in all the relations of life, were
warmly commended.
A committee was then appointed to con.
( Yey to Mrs. Gaines, at Cincinnati, copy
aof the above resolution, and to have the
proceedings of the meeting touching Mr.
Gaines decease published in papers friend
sly to the cause. Rev j. r. Bowles, of
/ the First Anti-Slavery Baptist Church
gave notice that on Friday prayer-meet
ing would be held at his church, in which
/ the slave and his friends, and particularly
the heroic but hapless John Brown, would
I be remembered j.. X. WILLIAMS.
