TIE LECTURE OF FRED. DOUGLASS.

The LECTURE OF FRED. DoUGLAss.-
large audience assembled last night at
Brainard's Hall to listen to Mr.. Douglass
for Mr.. Douglass is man that has something
to say. He is no man to stand before the
people to weave smooth sentences into the
liquid melodies of rhetoric. Ever since bis
release from bondage, twenty-six years ago,
he has had message bursting his heart, and
that message he utters as no other man can
utter such message. His plea now is, and
ever will be, that justice shall be done the
black man. He asks that this war shall not
be closed with any hollow truce of peace.
This is the substance OF his lecture on the
mission of the war. There is something
surprising in the calm earnestness Of the
man. He is no boisterous declaimer against
the cruel oppressors of his race. But there
is q quiet, burning heat of truth that light
ems without thunder. Whoever listens to
hear him, is profoundly impressed with the
fact that the orator possesses reserved forces.
He does not disclose his weaknesses if he
have them. You feel that here is man ca
pabls of doing vast things.
Fred. Douglass is the representative of
his people. They love and admire him. Like
the Irishmsn, whose enthusiasm was so
aroused over Douglass eulOgy of Daniel
O'COnnell as to exclaim, "faith, an if half a
nsgur kin talk that way, what oud a
whole one do" they think, what can the ne
gro race do if they only be dealt justly by.
Mr.. Douglass lectures tonight on his visit
to the White House. The lecture last night
was closed by three hearty cheers for Abrs-
ham Lincoln. "Straws," &c.

will confer favor by leaving them at the

sponse, as they are wanted immediately.
