upon il through our columns, the editor
Of this Abolition moutE-piece called
around him his subordinatcs of every
grade, "black spirits and white, red
spirits and gray hoping by one furious
charge to annihilate us. He, no doubt,
summoned to his aid his distinguished
confrere, the sable II. Fred Douglass,
now in the city, for We notice several
articles which sapor so strongly of the
"nigger," that all who have scrutinlzed
them. agree as to their origin, conclu-
ding that no ,cAite man could indite such
stnf.
We have critically examined the sew
era illusions which eugross all the read
ing columns of the Gazette, a number OF
advertise nents having been crowded ont
to sfiord space for the string of contribu-
tions,and it is our deliberate judgment
that Mr.. Littler's locals on the outside ex-
Gel the articles Of add on the inside, being
the more caustic and pertinent, and GER
tainly exhibiting more responsibility and
good-breeding. We must apologize to
our friend Robert for our inattcntion to
him heretofore. Wehave been looking
around for an antagonist more "worihy
Of our steel" than the quibbling writer
for the inside Of the Gazette, aud we
are happy to find, in the Local Of that
paper. one SO far the superior of the SEN
Tor editor, in all that constitutes the man.
The GaSeth is kind Of kangaroo
concern, the stronger portion of the
body being behind. We would advise
the senior Of the Gazette to let the local
do the fighting, and he assume the du-
ties of bottle-holder, a position for
which his capacity is the more BETTING.

Why is It!

Why is it that lccturers,-men not
only Of rare ability, but research and in
formation-who enter the lyceum field,
seem to lose all their versatility there,
and relapse into a s,ilted sameness P
why is 1t that SAKE, who is capable Of
throwing off the most brilliant scintilla-
tons of genius daily, and whose NOR
ceaus are continually following each 9TH
er in the columns Of the press, has to
travel all over the country, from the At
lantic TO the Mississippi, for two mortal
Winters, DINING night after night, into
the ears Of thonsa, ds Of people, The same
hackncyed story Of Love" very good
to be sure, but like everything else Of the
kind, decreasing in interest with age !?
Why is it that DR.. Chaplin, who can
preach, Sunday after Sunday, sermons
that sati.fy the intelligenccs Of immense
Audiences, and which ire deemed wor-
thy Of being continuously perpetuated
in print, cannot find time, in all the pc
Rod from April to December, to produce
but one single lyccum lecture? Why is it,
that l. Starr King, who is not afraid to
face weekly the most appreciative and at
the same time most critical audiences Of
the Athenian city, dare not come West
to deliver his"inferior lccture"(this is the
gentleman's own term,) and has not had
opportunity to write good ones Why
is 1t that, with thirty or forty pages of
manuscript, certainly no better than
very large proportion Of matter in all
literary publications, and for writing
which an author would not certainly re-
ceive more than two hundred dollars. 4
man deems it no wrong to address a
hundred different audiences, and pock-
ct FIVE or six thousand dollars! There
is something peculiar to the times 10
this phenomenon; and we apprehend
that when lecture-goers become more ex-
acting, and not SO easily satisfied with a
great name and bigh-sound'ng title,
lecturers will have to work more and
earn their money harder than they do
now-Schen<ctady Nees,

On motion of Mr.. Garfield, the rules
of the last session were adopted as the
rules of this.
A communication from Storrs Howe,
making proposals to print a journal for
the board, was read, aud
On motion OF Mr.. Roszel laid on the
table.
Mr.. RoszelI moved that the usual
standing committees by appointed.
Mr.. Cooper suggested that the adopt
ion of the rules of the last session, car
ried with it the adoption of the COM
mittees.
Mr.. Garfield concurrcd in the sucees-
ton, whereupon
MIR. Rosze.l withdrew his motion.
Mr. Mitchell said that one member OF
the board had resigned since the last
session, and that his place had been filled
by another,-certainly the motion could
not be applicable so far as regards the
committees upon which that gentleman
had been.
After further remarks from members.
Mr.. Roszell moved that the usual

This gentleman has delivered two dis
courses OH his favoritc theme, sthe life
and times Of Henry Cay' HIS lee
ture on Thursday evening was listened
to by small, but we believe an appre-
ciativc audience. To use an Irish phrase,
the lecturer literally "slathered' all be-
fore him. He pitched in" right and
left, add gave Democrats and Abolition
lists an awful overhanling. 1t occurred
to us during the lecture, that there
could be no doubt of the sincerity of
Mr.. Marshall's declaration, 'that he be-
longed to no parity" for if his expressed
objections to all e.risting polical organi-
cations are his deliberate convictions,
there is not noac, and probably never will
be, in this or any other country, a party
with which he could consistently affiliate
or which would reflect his views.
Mr.. Marshall is evidently gentleman
of brilliant intellect,a nc of rare oratorical
powers. Notwithstanding we dissent
from him in some things andcoincide with
him in others, we knew the kind "of on
entertainment to arhich are were inuitel,"
and were, therefore, not disappointed.
There were portions Of the"discourse'
which excited much amusement, both
from the subject matter, and the man
ner of delivery. Our eye was alter
nately directed to the speaker and to
respected auditor, whom we knew enter
tanned strong Abolition sentiments
When the lecturer INDUCED in condem-
nations of the democratic party, our
friends feet went 'pini, patti" as MIN
bly, as a dancers, while"hoeing down the
Fishers Ho,npipe" But when the
speaker burst forth in the IN st eloquent
denunciations of Abolitionism and fsnat-
icism-when he depicted Old Browns
foray and its intent, as well as its inev-
liable consequences, had it not been
crushed in the very outset when he
pictured, Sin words that bnrn,' the
b.seness Of a fanatical press, which makes
the traitor philanlhropist and the pun
ishment Of a murderer ma.tyrdom-our
friends face elongated, so that We could
not comprehend its full extent at a sin
gle glance.
We ike Mr.. Marshall's cff-hand
manner Of expression, though, we opine,
if he would confine himself to the limits
Of his subject by stopping at the death
of Mr.. CLAY, his discourses would not be
so open to criticism. His position that the
existence of an imaginary line, such as
wasthe Missouri Compromise lint, effects,
in the least, the boundaries of slavery is
not tenable. Mr.. Webster's views on
this subject are the correct ones, and they
were, that climate and production con-
troll the extent of the institution
Again, the assumption that the Harper's
Ferry eneute was consequence of the
Kansas difficulties has been exploded by
Mrs. Browns declarations, by Cook and
Forbes revelations, and by other indis-
Iutable testimony. However, these
facts belong to the history of to-day, and
oil are competent to Judge of them.
We freely admit that we enjoyed Mr..
larshall's lecture, and hope the truths
he may have uttered will prove ITO be
seed sown on good ground"

ing, when he again lectured, the attempt
was made, but nothing was developed
save the extreme ignorance Of some
men, who have zeal beyond knowledge.
After Mr.. ID. had Concluded his re-
marks, Prot. ID. H. Wheeler came for
ward and respectfully asked "that he be
permitted to make few explanatory re-
marks in regard to the position Of the
church upon the in titution of American
slavery He said that the great body Of
the church was decidedly Anti-Slavery !;
that the discipline of tae church was
Antl-Slavery, inasmuch as it prohibited
its members from "buying men, women
and children, with the intention of en-
shaving them," and although there were
perhaps 4 900 shareholders in the church,
yet they were there with this very pro-
hibition in their very faces, and the blood
Of the slave upon .heir own skirts, and
in 1860 the church would hurl the rds-
Gals from the old sip Zion into the
ocean OF their own error. He said he
thought Mr.. ID. too hard in bis denunci-
atoms; that he should be more mild
more Christ-hke. He said that he not
long since hid the pleasure Of entertain
ing slavenodei, and that he believed
him to be a christian"
Mr.. Douglass in reply said "that the
gentleman's admission that there were
1000 shareholders in the church was ia.
tai to his attempted argument to Prove
the church AntlSlavcry. Because a
majorlty in the church are Anli-Slavcry
instead of proving its Anti-Savery char
acter, it only renders the whole member
hood more cul pable proving the alb lty
TO rid themselves Of the curse and ye,
failing to do so. The gentleman SAID
he had the pleasure Of entertaining &
stakeholder from Missouri the other day
In regard to that he had only to say
protesting to be a christian, it was nc
credit u him. Go dino with = slave
holder to-day, and if you should dine

Gods sake apologize to the outlawed
hghwayman for the insult you have of:

Monday, Dec. 9Th, 1859.
At2 o'clock, p. NJ, the Board OF
Education was called to order by Lieut..
Gov. Oran Favlle, who took the chair as
presiding officer.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr..
Chamberlain.
Mr.. Faville addressed the board as
follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD OF EDU-
CATION Allow me to congratulate you
upon the favorable circumstances under
which we have assembled at this, our
second session.
You return with the confidence Of the
people; for, although at your former
session, t'ammellei with constitutional
difficulties, yonr efforts to advanc, the
educational interests OF the state are ap-
preciaied, and your ensctments .cncr-
ally approved. Teachers and those in
timately connected with educational
pursuits are, SO far as | have learned,
pleased with the present system, and
wish to give it a longer trial before i'm
portant changes are introduced, and what
is no less important, the people are dis
cussing the merits and dement's OF our
school law, and new interest in educa-
tional matters is the result.
1t will not be necessary for me to call
your attention to those portions of the
law deemed defective. You are respect
fully referred to the report of your sec
rotary, which will present you in detail,
with such proposed alterations as his OBJ
scrvation and experience NAV suggest.
lmay express the hope that the same
courteous bearing that marked your
former session, which so essentially light
cned the duties of the chair, will charac-
terize the present session, and that your
iabo's may contribute in a marked de-
gree, to the we'll being Of our beloved
commonwealth.
