frederick Douglass, free person of color, has
been enlightenlng the benighted people Of BOs-
ton in a lecture upon what ought to be done
with the everlasting nigger. We should state
the subject more properly, perhaps, by saying 1t
was about what ought not TO be done with them.
As, for instance, be ought mot to be permitted
to remain In slavery, and the Government ought
not to let the chance pass to proclaim liberty
throughout the land TO all the Inhabitants there.
OF. But the grea. end Of Fred. Douglass leo.
ture was TO show that colonization was hum
bug. He proved, or at least tried to prove, that
colonization is unjust, impolltic and inexpedent.
And this Is the doctrine Of all the ultra, Aboli-
tion fanatics. They don't want the four mil.
lion slaves of the South sent out Of the country
after being freed, but desire that they shall 60
North and participate In the blessings of all the
civilization of that section. Fred. Douglass
says the slaves have the will, the capacity and
the power to rise to the highest positions among
the whites, and be FOR one, backed by large
number OF other Abolitlopiste, is In favor Of
giving them chance to exhibit their equality.
These harangues don't hurt anybody, and are
not gaining many prOselytes jussnow. Isl. Louis

SrARrLiro APPRxHENsIoN MO long since, 40
the train from Richmond, Va, was about 70

"Ir is long Lane that has no turn" is an
old proverb. Concedipg the substantial truth Of
this statement, says the N. Y. Commercial, it Is
evident that some of our Lanes in public life
are not long. JOE LANE, after occupying the
public eye for time, suddenly took an agricul-
tural turn, and was "run into the ground."-
JIM LANE, after various turns at the public crib,
turned his back on Washington, went to Kan
sas, scattering brave speeches as he went, and

A distinguished American now in Europe, ~
the course of q private letter TO friend 10 this
country, sums up the effect Of the EmperoF's
speech to the legislative chamber in these
words: 90 US.
"The EmperOr's speech yesterday has been
reassufing to Americans. His financial neces-
stiles have compelled him to avoid irritating
and alarming topics. The paragraph about
America was received BY the assembly with
audible manifestations Of satisfaction. The
secessionists are very much oisconcerted.
Tney had been expecting denunciation Of the
stoning up of Charleston as an admission that
our blockade was ineffective. The conserva'
tives in Parliament had prepared to fOlloW suit,
Lindsay was to bring up the question on the
first night of the session, aud Ayrton was to
second him. What they will do now l don't
know, excep. fail In any attempt they make, In
the present status of affairs, to disturb our
blockade But il nsthin9 10 done rithin the

Mn. MuRDooH's READINos-Mr. Murdoch
certainly justified his well earned reputation as
dramatic reader and elocutiOnist, at Nsugh
tou's Hall last evening. His pronunciation
was clear and distinct--every word and almost
every syllable could he heard without effort. But
the charm Of bis reading lay In the simplicity
and ease with which the authors meaning was
apprehsuded and rendered. He put on no the
a.rical airs and grimaces-his was not acting
he seemed for the time the real character he
epresented. It's naturalness made the illusion
complete.
The soliloquy of Hamlet on Death aud Mer-
cutio's description Of Queen Nab in Romeo and
Juliet, were given with exquisite taste and judg-
ment. But nothing in the numerous line could
exceed his rendition Of the sergeant's speech
for the plaintiff 10 the case of Bardell UsTsEs
Pickwick. There were few of his auditors who
were ever inside court house or justice's
Office, whose risibles were NOT irresistibly ex.
cited.
Mr.. Murdoch gives his second and last read.
log at the came place this evening: At the re-
quest Of members Of the Legislature, many Of
whom were present last evening, be has con.
sented to render this evening, T. Buchanan
Reads poem -"The Wild Wagner of the
Alleghaniss"--a patriotic poem Of the days Of
'76 This Is an unpublished work; but the
dramatic element is said to be go prominent in
Il, and the variety 80 infinite, that no pro.
gramme of selections from different authors
could be more interesting.
o. one thing We are certain, that whatever
of pathos, wit or humor there may be in It, Mr..
Murdoch will be sure to bring 1t out We are
halt inclined to believe that he would find and
exhibit rich mines Of thought and sparkling
gems Of wit and humor, where we might search
for them In vain. From the specimens We have
had, we feel like spplyin to Mr.. Murdoch as q
reader, what Dr. Johnson said Of Oliver Gold
smith as q writer, that "Whatever he touches
he adorns."
AtAll events we shall expect to see Naugh.
toms Hall hllei again to night, and we have moi
the slightest doubt that every one who does at
tend will 60 away feeling Handsomely re
warded."
