The Lecture this Evening.

The third lecture of the Independent Course
is to be delivered this evening, Dec. 1st., by
Mrs. Fanny E. Harper of Boston. Mrs H.
has had practical knowledge of the benign in
fiuence of slavery, having been born chattel,
and now having escaped the "divine, blessing
for what the Copperheads seem to regard as
the curse of Freedom. Her subject is aThe
Claims OF the Negro under Reconstruction"
The Boston Commonwealth says of her, after
hearing: ~
Mrs. Harper is colored lady of education
and refinement. Her addresses are able and
eloquent. Whenever she has spoken in this
vicinity she has given complete satisfaction"
Mrs. Lydia Maria Child writes of her:
Her lecture was all / could have desired it
to be; full of good sense, all aglow with poet
lc imagery, and dimpled here and there with
rlpples of humor She was frequently in
terrupted by applause, and the satisfaction
seemed to be universal and enthusiastic"
OF the lecture which she is to deliver to-
night the Commonwealth says: q - ,,',g
ut seemed to us to contain more thought
feeling and true eloquence, than the popular
addresses of Miss Dickinson usually do; while
the position of the speaker as one of the race
ofwhom she specially spoke, gave power to
her appeals and statements which carried them
home to her hearers"
The Philadelphia North american says:
"She received the closest attention, and the
hearty and frequent applause proved her
thoroughly appreciated. She is certainly gift
ed with the power of oratory. Several critics
pronounce her equal to Miss Dickinson, while
some give her credit for even greatet merit
when it comes to speaking upon the highest
moral and spiritual plane. She has less force
perhaps, in depicting battle-scene, but in de-
scribing those trials which only her race have
endured, she is unequaled."
After lecture in Worcester the Transcript
of that city said:
Mrs. Harper commanded the closest atten-
ton. In logical acumen, beauty of rhetoric,
pure and imprisoned eloquence, she is not ex-
celled by any of our popular lecturers. Her
scathing denunciations Of the leaders of this
infamous rebellion received the hearty APP
plause of the audience Her reference to the
murder which has deprived the nation of its
beloved President, caused deep and solemn
sensation" t+0Aas
The Brooklyn, N. Y, Union, after hearing
her, and before she had spoken in that city,
said:
AlIHnougn the address, was new IN It's
character, the same evidences Of talent,
thought, originality of ideas, logic, and excel
lent common sense, were exhibited as in her
previous addresses. Her reasoning is the
most conclusive. If the citizens of Brooklyn
were aware of her rare ability, the Academy of
Mnsic would hardly hold the audiences that
would desire to hear her."
We have no doubt the City Hall will be
crowded tonight at an early hour, and we
would advise those who would make sure of a
good seat, and especially in view of Gen. Kill
patrick's lecture next Friday evening, to Sc
cure season tickets, for 81 90 each. -

faint prospect of the escape of Joe

PROCLAMATION
The STATE OF ONO,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Anp;l Otl 1QeR
April 0th, I865.

The God of Battles has blessed our
armies,and the glorious cause of human
freedom. Under His approving smiles
the patriotic and brave men in the
field have achieved unparalleled tri-
umphs. The rebel capital has been
conquered and given back to the Un-
ion, and the army that held it in re-
bellion has been broken and scattered.
The military power of the rebellion
the strongest obstacle to peace-has
received terrible shock, and our gal
liant armies are pursuing it to final
extinction.
For all this we owe praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God, re-
cognition Of the services and sacrifices
Of our noble soldiers, and rejoicing
over the triumph of the right, the
crushing Of the rebellion, and an early
return to peace and prosperity in the
land.
1t is therefore recommended that
Friday next, the 14th day of April
being the anniversary of the fall of
Fort Sumter-be generally observed
by the people of the State as day of
thanksgiving 10 God, and of general
rejoicing; that religious assemblages
and observances mark the day, and
the evening be given to bonfres, illu-
limitations and the laundering of artil-
lery, public assemblages and speeches,
and such other manifestations as may
be suggested, as may appropriately
mark the heroic deeds Of our armies
and the general joy Of our people dt
the early restoration of the Constitu-
ton and good government.
