Gov. Eagofin received the bearers of the petition
Reed and Hayes courteously, and advised them, for
the sake Of preserving the peace Of the State TO leave
it, He raid that the public mind was deeply moved
bv the events in Virginia, and that until the excite
ment subsided their presence in the State would be
dangerous and he could not engage TO protect them
from their feow.c citizens who had resolved that they
must 20. He promised them security while taking
their departre and that their property should be pro-
tected. They say that for the most part they were
treated politely by those who have driven them from
their homes and they have hopes that presently the
people of Kentucky will take sober thought, and

and accustomed avocatons. We cannot cay that we
consider the prospect for such contamination, re-
markaby aaitering. They believe that many of the
Observation-Disclosures are much incensed Mt the dee
potic proceedings OF the master Glars, and they
have many warm personal friends They trust
10 these and 20 a reaction. There are those
among the people of Madison County who recognize
the fact that the expulsion Of such men as Fee and
Rogers Is the very way to make Aooitonsts ana tnas
the action taken has been not only uncaed for but inn
prudent It is certainly not light matter to drive out
Of a State men who build steam eaw.mills, improve
farms keep schools, and labor faithfully as ministers
of the Gospel and who give no provocaton to any IN
apy way; who offend against no law Nvho make no
war upon society; and who merely hold that Slavery
il n sin and teach that il should come 70 AN end In
Gods own good time. The steam mil of Mr.. Hanson
was doing well until he was constrained to abandon IT,
The school of Mr.. Rogers was in hourishiDg cond-
ton. having nearly hundred pupils during the last
tern, great norton of them the children of slave
holders. Kentucky cannot afford TO drive beyond her
borders the men who build mills and academies.
The exes eeem in good spirits. They do not in
dnloe even in unknd words about those who have
made them homeless. They seem to be divided IN
orpon as 10 their in the future. They all hope
10 20 back to Old Kentucky, and live, labor and die
ON her soil Some fear they cannot 60 back, and
think of looking out for empoymentn the Free States;
and they have vague ideas of appealing for protection
in their rights and mmunies citizens TO the Federal
Government.

the American Missionary Union, having organized

successful operation. 1t is here proper TO remark that
both Mr. Fee and bis associates have constantly dis
avowed all desire to interfere with Slavery or to bring
about ito destruction by any except moral means Re-
eardinQ il as contrary TO the teachings Of the New
Testament they believed scrptural truth the best ref
utation Of its claims.
On various occasions the people of Berea have been
subjected 10 attacks Mob law, vtuperaton, and legal
processes have in turn been tried in vain. They have
zealously maintained their right TO attempt TO modify
the institutions OF their native State by peaceaoie
means, and persecution seemed meaeuraDly 10 nave
subsided, when the events of the 18th Of October
called into new life the suspicion with which they had
been viewed.
Pursuant to adjournment, the second meeting was
held on the 18th, in the Court House at Richmond;
The Committee appointed at the last meeting reported

that had yet been suggested, involved insuferable
objections and that the Bereans acted as Abolition
enifsaries, and believed in higher law, and bap.
