SALEM, Jan. l.
LET ALBANY COME TO THE FRONT
Understanding that the varlou
transportation companies have agreed
to carry all the contributions to tht
Kansas7Nebraska sufferers, from any
part Of the United States, free of charge
the citizens Of Salem last week held q
meeting and organized a committee o
ten to solicit contributions Of cash and
four47the money thus contributed ia
be converted into -four. The citizens
of Salem expect to raise sufficient funds
to purchase two or three tons of flour
and forward to the sufferers; and we
earnestly appeal to the people of Alba
ny and Linn county, who live in the
very heart of the grain-growing por-
tion off Oregon, to awake also to the
appeals of the suffering and destitute
brethren of the Missouri river valley
who are now in the very jaws Of want
and starvation We who are living in
the midstof ease and plenty can scarce
ly have any conception Of the horror
and despair which sit shiyeringly on
the thresholds ofsthose bleak prairie
homes and chill the starved bones OF
the settlers into iciclesof hopelessness.
Think, of your own despair and agony

they were SO fouIIy and treacherousIy
murdered, his impassioned but just de-
nuneiation Of their bloody assassins,
were listened to by the audience in
wrapt silence, while the sad narrative
of their wrongs caused many sympa-
thetic tear TO glisten on the cheeks of
his entrahced auditors. The highest
compliment which could be awarded a
speaker, was paid Mr. MeDonald- that I
of profound and almost breathIess at {
tention throughout the entire lecture.
The inclenent state Of the weather '
and an unusual number Of parties i
the city, conspired to pre- I
vent so numerous an attendance as
should have greeted the lecturer, in a
consequence OF which it Is hInted that +
he will be asked to repeat his discourse h
Ia our city at an early day. We ear.
