THE LECTURE OF Miss HARDISGE.-The Court
House was filed to oyerfowing, on Tuesday even
inc-the occasion Of the lecture Of Miss Emma
Hardinge on The Coming Man Of America, or the
next President" Among the audience-wllcn
was largely composed of most intelligent
prominent and influential cItizens-we observed
many Of our Democratic friends. who in extenna-
ton Of their heinous fault in being present doubtless
plead curiosity to hear lady make politiea!

the lady through her elaborate discourse, as its for
cfb.e and perfectly comprehensible style rendered
il in every particular easily understood and ap-
preciated by Ell who were present and to those
who were not it would be idle for Us to attempt to
give anything like adequate idea Of it in brief
newspaper item In the outset the lecturer re
marked thai her hearers would bear in mind that
she was a transcendentalsti and therefore they
could not expect her tread in the beaten path Of
politicians in discussing the issues of the day. The
New World was discovered at a time when the
problem OF human government in the Old World
was becoming of paramount and alarming inter
est; when the oppressed people Of Europe were
looking almost despairingly for delyerance in the
creation of some new and mighty nation. In the
opinion Of the speaker, America was designed by
God as the refuge of the oppressed of all ands-as
the home Of true repubticanism which she believed
to be divine. Our Constitution sprang from the
Declaration Of independence which declares that
all men are equal in the sight Of God and endowed
with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. In the establishment of slavery at the

property-and the lecturer thought that the mas

convince the Northern people that slave labor

became philanthrophists- abo>hing slavery en-
tirely throughout the North and looking zealousy
towards the South to extend their phianthropic Ia

her long residence the South where She had seen
slavery in its darkest and most barbarous forms;
in New Orleans, for example, she had seen three
hundred slaves return to their master ON Christ
with their hard earnings OF the year, and.
while She had witnessed many like cases, in no in

earned go back to the siare for his abor-the South.
aristocrAts were pGupefs on their siares. The
lecturer thought it shameful that people were 10th
to attribute the terrible conflict in this country
its true cause which was Ndrey-the curse of he
land. On this portion of her subject she spoke
with great feeling and eoquence She at length
came to speak Of the Coming Man, whom she
would not call the coming man, tor he had already
come There are two men before the American
people as candidates for the Presidency-Gco. B .
Mcclellan and Abraham Lincoln; an apology was
demanded, she thought, for placing Mcclellan first
in this connection, but she had scriptaral
thority, namely: The foundations of heaven are
laid in hell She believed that Lincoln was pre-
destined for the mission of leading the people Of
America through the present crisis, and it would
hereafter lie recorded in history that while Wash.

The evidence of his incapacity was before the
country and il was needless to speak of his mis-
