The forenoon was occupied by Mr.. Pillsbury
whose address was listened to with respectful at
tention, quite unlike the rude uproar Of the pre-
ceding night. He spoke Of Free Speech as lying
at the very foundation Of Free Institutions, and
instauced the mobs Of old Greece and Rome, and
those in our own time, to show that if we once
submit to them, that If those in authority do NOT
resist m~anfully in the beginning, this spirit Of mob
ocracy and violence will for q long time bear
sway. lie administered . severe and deserved re-
buke to the Mayor Of the city, who was present to

given her in some parts Of the WEI: during the fall
and winter. G.. b. Ssebbiu, spoke Of she causes
of the riot, of a paragraph in the "Mic b. Argus"
the Democratic paper, calling out and courtenanc-
ing this mob spirit, his determination to crush free
speech in Ann Arbor, this determination that our
friend Pillsbury should no. be heard.
Mr.. p. occupied the most Of the time, the oppo-
eition being mostly against him, and friends far
and near being DESTROYS TO hear him. lie spoke
of the dreadful sacrifice Of human liberty made to
the Union, in Cleveland only three days before, in
the person Of the Slave woman Lucy, laid on the
bloody altar Of Slavery. The Slave Claimant
thanked Ohio for the conviction, and said if our
servants in Congress will not do their duty, cur
servants in the North will. Judge Spalding re-
pouded, "you shall have safe escort through the
State"-he told of q woman, q graduate of q med
ical college in Cleveland, who had been in prac-
lice in New Orleans, and was sent North because
she had been connected with an Anti-Slavery pa
per, it proved that she had written wrappers tor
some papers, before commencing practice.
Mr.. P. says, you consent to mako slaves Of At
millions, as good in the sight Of God as any OF
you, but you crave liberty for yourselves and your
children; let me tell you that even its shadow is
fatal to the liberties Of the white raSe. Abraham
Lincoln approaches the altar Of this bloody IDOL,
and lays his Offering upon it, with those awful
hecatombs that weep and gnash their teeth there,
Young men, that is not what you meant to do in
elec,ing him, but it is the best you can do. Mr.
Lincoln will keep bis garments unssained by uu-

Mr.. Pillsbury urged especially the Resolve Of
the Personal Liberty Bill, which was passed mos
heartily.
r D. L.. Twitchel and Mr. Elliott spoke, disser
'. ting from the 9th resolution, but nobly advocating
order and freedom Of speech. One or two other
u seconded ttsm. Some noise and disturbance in til
u rear Of the audience was manifest, and a larg
number of young men rose to signify their read
VI ness to preserve order.
III A collection was taken up by Finance Commit

mob violence which had been Witnessed, the con
promising, vacillating course Of the Mayor, an
the couctenance Of merchants and other citizens
that the majority of the Students bad stood nObl
by order and free discussion.
