Your distinguished fellow-citizen, Mr. Cor
win, has been fairly pressed into the field as a
lecturer, and has Of course, achieved success
His first lecture in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
last Tuesday evening, was largely atten. ted ami
veil received. There was such ifeshness, orig
inality. lively humor, sparkling wit, laughing
anecdotes, profound philosophy, aud irresstiN.
bic truth, all expressed in bis an peculiar way,
and SO unlike the manner Of any other lecturer
they had ever heard that time passed swift>
footed, and the hour and q half seemed buta
| few minutes, so pleased, charmed and de-
/ lighted we're his intelligent auditors. Mr. COrs
win has been a great student of History; and
bis extensive reading, hls wonderful memory
aud beauty aud aptuess Of illustration, his
force Of expression, ard unequaiIed manner,
will make HIM as popular 10 the Lecture Room
as he is on THAT Institution, The stump" TO-
use his own language.
On Wednesday evening he ectured before

!. Think the Fugitive Law Unjust, finhuman,
wicked, and IN direct conflict with that clause
of Il Constitution of the United States, which
decIaTes that mo PersoR shall be deprived of
life, iib6fiS or properly without due process Of
} law" The Supreme Court of the United States
does not agree with me, and however honest and
conscientious my opinion is, | must bow as O
good law abiding citizen, 10 its decision, until
such decision reversed, or the law is repealed
, The people of the South who want slaNas,
t1sleelaret th6t the law Of Gopgmgs.pg 1908, pro,
hibiting the slave Trade, is suneohstithtionsl and
unjust, as they have right to get laborers from
Africa. Because they through cupidity and love
of gain, resist that law. aud import negroes
and Grand Juries fail TO indict, or Petit Juries
30 cOpyict,, fhal the Government not enforce
. THAT law of c CongVess Ggainst lpiraeyI Mhhe
Laws are laws the citizens must obey them, or
, suffer the penalty, as the Friends do in regard
to the law requiring Military duty.
