Peab Fbiksd Garrisos Since the year 1829, when your voice. solitary and elone, first sounded in the ears of this guilty nation its duty to immediately release its colored Americans since January 1st, 1831, when Tue Liberator first un furled the liberty-inspiring banner, bidding the slave of the South and the half-free colored man of the North to hope and labor for the day of full emancipation, has this land been rocking from centre to circumference with the din and agitation of that battle, which, with Cod's blessing, will sooner or later be crowned with triumphant victory. The incidental skirmishes which are a part of the history of every faithful soldier, whether distinguiched or humble, can be made profitable, if noted in your Journal of Freedom as warnings to those Pharaohs who yet refuse to let the people go as omens of success to those who still labor and wait, and also as encouragement to those others who at this (as it seems to me) eleventh hour are waking up, asking, Lord, what wouldst thou have roe to do Thus impressed, I have noted down some experiences of my recent tour in Ohio. Most of my time was spirit in company with John M. Lancston, who.

was engaged In publicly advocating equal civil and political right for the colored citizens of that State. This mission was under the auspices of the State' Central Committee of Education, whose seal and efficiency bid fir to be rewarded with an early favorable response, unless politicians become so discouraged by defeat, or forgetful by access, as to play their old gamt. and defer justice till a more convenient season. By decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio, the right to vote among the colored population is limited to thoe eclored men in whom Anglo-Saxon blood predominates, while those of an unconstitutional, I. e.

darker complexion, are excluded. Colored men are prohibited as jurors, and being thus deprived of a trial ty their peers, seldom get justice awarded them. While on the Reserve and some other localities colored children attend the publio pchools in common witb-white children, over the greater portion of the State, they are penned up In exclusive, ill-ventilated, obscure schools wretched apologies for educational advantages. Colored men are also denied sharing in the militia service, and thus their patriotism is attempted to be starved out, notwithstanding the fact that there are to be found all over the State colored veterans who participated in the several conflicts by land and sea which gave victory to American arms. One of these is now living in Champagne county, (Father Stanop.) at the 'age of 113 years.

He was with General Washington; and his position in that respect has been recognized by officers of the government. lie was wounded at the battle of Stony Point, nnd was left for dead on the field of conflict. The soirs from, wound' then received he hears upon his person still, not without evident consciousness that they are honorable scars. Colored citixens are also debarred from the poor-houses, even though they pay taxes on it millions of ml estate and personal property. Lor sine county contains a numerous party of white men, and women, too, wlio-cem ready nnd willing to do all in their power to promote the elevation of their olored fellow-citizens.

This was abundantly evinced by various tokens, in meeting and social, circles. At Elvira, at the clce of an interesting meeting in the "Conn-House, Dr. Griswold volunteered an encouraging Speech during which, le cited a fact witnessed by hinself in HirtforJ, Conn. When Generil Ltfiyetie lu on his triumphal tour through the United States in 1825, he there discovered in the crowd nil colored man whom he recognised as hi gallant companion in the American revolutionary w.ir. He had l-een sha king hands with hi white fellow-soldiers, but in this instance he transcended these formalities, and actually embraced the colored veteran inquiiing for other col ored soldiers engaged with them in the war.

This scene of mutual rejoicing and remembrance pro ducts a marked sensation at the time, and left an in delible impression upon many hearts. Among the Europeans who left their homes and rallied io defence of American independence, history re-Cords no more illustrious names than those of Lafayette and Kosciusko. Not being tainted with American col-orphobia, they each expressed regret that their services had been made a partial instead of a general boon. Lafayette was so disappointed at the protection given -to slavery after the revolutionary war was over, that he declared, in his memorable lewer to Thomas Clark- ton, that he would never have drawn his sword in cause of America, if he could have conceived that Was thereby establishing slavery. Kosciusko endeavored to render some signal compensation to those with whose wrongs his own had taught kirn to sympathize, and as a grateful tribute to the neglected and forgotten colored man, he appropriated 820,000 of bis bard earnings to purchase and educate colored children.

But by the laws of Virginia, where the bequest was to be carried into effect, this generous Object was defeated. Among the friends at Avon who tendered us hospitalities was Hon. Norton S. Townsend. who favored us ith survey of his model farm, complete in all the appointments of a scientiSo agriculturalist.

It was mainly owing to bis exertions in the Ohio Legislature that the petition for colored suffrage received 0 much attention during the last session. While io Brownbelm, we were made welcome to the family or ont of the early pioneers from Western Massachusetts and the strangest of all strangt facts is, that though an active administration man. and a supporter of Buchanan for the Presidency, he treats the colored man as a brother beloved. It is due to his wife ftnl sens and daughters to say, that they rejoice In the distinctive Appellation of Abolitionists. At Ridgevillej Henrietta, Amherst, Pittsfield, Wellington, PcnSeld.

Huntington and Camden, we met friends who in their best approved manner lent aid an qpport to the anti-tdevcry gospel. Several of them ipresatd their diasent from the present United States pro-slftTcry government, and some, a in the ease of venerable Massachusetts pioneer and his wife, reading to as their letters of withdrawal from, and protest against the slavery-sustaining church at Huntington thus acting out the Garrisonian idea, without being conscious of, and, indeed, as yet unwilling to acknowl edge themselves as being disciples of that radical school of uncompromising reformers. But it matters not what name they assume, if the work be but done and their example Increases the all-important agitation now disturbing the slumbers of a too long dormant laity. Without in the least degree detracting from the just meed of praise due to the exertions of other laborers in this field, it is proper to state, that to John M. Langs- ton is the eause of equal suffrage in Ohio largely in debted for its present prominence and prospective tri umph.

In most of his public efforts, often two hours in length, he presents arguments, appeals, facts and statistics, in such-a fearless, eloquent, and irresistible manner, as to leave the friends proudly satisfied, and our enemies eviJently confounded. He is a walking and talking encyclopaedia of the colored American's position, aspirations and capacities, and at Urbnno, rang the changes on these various points with such telling effect, that a buckeye farmer held up his bauds, exclaiming My God! can these things be true At the meeting of the Western Anti-Slavery Society, held at era Aug. SOth nnd 31st. Samuel May. Oliver Johnson.

Benj. S. Jones, Marius S. Robinson, and W. C.

Nell advooated the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted, vis. Resolved, That among the ways and means by which the State of Ohio renders allegiance to the Slave Power of this nation is the relic of ber Black Laws, which discriminate between citizens on account of complexion, prohibiting their exercise of the elective franchise, their rights as jurors, and equal school facilities. We therefore earnestly respond to the efforts now being made for removing the word white from the Constitution and her statute-book thereby performing an act of justice to a deserving, patient, and much-abused class of citizens. A large roll of signatures will, it is presumed, be added to the equal suffrage petition. While wailing in the depot at Columbus, a young roan introduced himself to mr, staling that he was a Boston boy, who had travelled over most of the slave States, and about eighteen months since saw Thomas Sims on a plantation near ivunnah.

During his con versatioii. he confirmed the worst we hear of the condition of jtoor whites in the South, and admitted that he had no scruples against holding slaves, if that was his only property, though he was opposed to its further extension. I reserve some additional facts and observations for another nnmber'of The Liberator. Boston, Nov. 10, ISoG.

C. N. LETTER FROM REV. A. T.

TOSS. St. Mart's Lake, Penfield, Nov. 4th, 1850. Dear Mb.

Garrison This is the election day, in which is to bo tried the fortune of the two parties that divide the land. Both parties endorse slavery where it exists, under State sovereignty both acknowledge val.dtty and bind- iug obligations of the compacts of the and with equal zeal profess their purpose to fulfil their their infamous obligations. The only contest is, Shall slavery be extended into territory north of 80 deg. 80 min. i Well, while this fight goes on, I have retired to this quiet and beautiful place none more beautiful hae I ever seen and here, in the family of our excellent friends the Willises, I shall spend a happy day in writing this note, and rambling around the shores of the beautiful lake, that lies like a gem in the midst of the hills.

The political excitement since I have been in the West has excreded any thing that I h-ve before witnessed. It has been almost impossible to get the ears of the people for any thing but political harangues. I hope, when the election is fiirly over, we may be able to Call ttt of llio tn the trill nnli.iU- very work. You have already been apprised of the excellent meeting of the Michigan A. S.

Society, ns also of the meeting of the Friends of Human at Battle Creek, the preceding week. These Friends are doing au excellent woik, and seem to be rapidly on the increase. They embody, more than any people I have ever seen, my best idea of a true religion. They eminently recognize God in the humanity, nnd seek to glorify him by elevating and blessing man. 1 have recently visited the Harmonia, in the township of Bedford, some four miles from Battle Creek, and gave two lectures there.

Here is located Hiram Cornell's II iriuonial School. The location is beautiful, healthy, and easy of access. Board nnd tuition fees are lower than at schools of the same class generally. I littered to the recitations of a number of the classes, and am well satisfied that this school offers the best opportunities for a thorough intellectual training of the youthful mind, and that the moral advantages are greater th I have seen elsewhere. I hope all reformers will remember this school, and secure for their children the iuestimable Messing of its culture, and at the same time give aid to an enterprise which is doing incalculable good to mankind.

On the first Saturday in December, the friends in Angoli, Iudiana, are to commence a Convention, in connection with which a Fair will be held. This meet ing wiil le attended by II. C. Wright and mysetf. and probably by other speakers yet to be engaged.

This Convention wiil doubtless be largely attended, and we hope be productive of much good. The terrible smoke which so nearly choked us all to death, and which actually did kill numbers of consumptive and asthmatio people, has disappeared, and the luxury of a pure atmosphere seems great indeed. when will the time come that the moral atmosphere shall be cleared of the vile smoke of a bigoted, selfish, blinding, suffocating, sin-sustaining, and Christ-crucifying theology? Such a day will come. We shall all rejoice in its blessings. But what is better still, may we show the labor end sacrifice necessary to hasten its connn; Yours, for humanity, A.

Knight. I II From the London Anti-Slavery Advocate for November. Mrs. Stowe'e Visit to Edinburgh witl be read with interest, as showing her opinion of the American Anti- slavery Society, aud of us more prominent memoerm. with many of whom she is on terms of eordial and friendly intimacy.

Indeed nothing else could be looked for from this large-minded and Rifted woman, than a hearty recognition or the qualities ana aisinierw ed labors of those who (while they agree to differ on those subjects upon which every one i boond to make op his own mind for himself.) are onited as one man in the determination not to rest till thev free their country from slavery with all its attendant evils. Feeling for the bond as bound with them. Mrs. St owe is not dis posed to mete other abolitionists, by the Procrustean measure of her own creed, before she will allow then to labor with her fof the helpless, suffering, and perishing slave. In short, she acts for thelave as the bitter re- vilers and secret calumniators of the abolitionists wouiu wish every one to act for themselves, if they were in the slave unhappy condition.

MRS. STOWE IN EDINBURGH. Mrs. Beecher Stowe, after spending some time at Dunrobin Castle, the seat of the Duke of Sutherland, made a short lour in Scotland, visiting many places of historical interest. Although her health do not admit of agitation or much exertion, yet her heart is so much in the anti-slavery cause, that she neglects no effective opportunity for advocating it in a quiet way.

In Edinburgh she had a social meeting among others with the members of the Ladies Emancipition Committee, whom she encouraged to proceed in their present course, assuring them that every honest effort from this country is of the utmost value to the cause in America. She eave 'a sketch of the different parties in the United States, and explained their relative importance. She alluded particularly to that clause in the United States Constitution which reckons every slave as three-fifths of a man in establishing the numerical basis npon which representatives are sent to Congress' from the slave States. This clause, with the vast in the en! tiratioo of cotton, and' its enormous consumption throughout the world, had greatly tended, in Mrs. Stowc's opinion, to the increase in the number or slaves but excessive cultivation had also, in the same propor tion, exhausted and overworked the soil of the slave Thus the slaveholders had been necessitated to look out for fresh territory over which to' extend their system.

In this effort they had already succeeded to enormous extent, and are eagerly desirous of grasping e. Their ambition has called forth the Free soil par ty, whose object it is to baffle this design, in tneir opinion, if slaverv. can be circumscribes wiwnn its present limits, the system must die out. Mrs. Stowe considers that although Colonel Fremont, (Tie present Presidential candidate of this party, has no power over existing slavery, his election would be an unmistakeahle indicatiun of improved public opicioo, and that it would also prevent the admission of Kansas ns a slave State, for he would disallow the votes of the Missourian invaders.

As the President has the employment of all the state offices, she has full confidence in their being filled up by Colonel Fremont with opponents to the continuance of slavery. Mrs. S. then described the operations of the non-voting abolitionists of the American Anti-Slavery Society, which, she said, were of a deeper character, as, through their holding aloft uncompromisingly a high standard of anti-slavery principle, they create the feeling which is the necessary foundation of all anti-shivery movements, whether political or benevolent. Mrs.

Stowe gave a lively sketch of her anti-slavery experience from the time of her first visit to Europe. She then knew nothing of the differences among abolitionists, and was surprised, on her arrival in Glasgow, to find two societies each eager for her opinion. She told them all that Mr. Garrison was an excellent man. and most important to the nnti-slivcry cause in which lie was the prime mover.

Since her return. She had a.a. mMnt.rtll fMuit. wall. .11 rii.a 1 untaMtl frA0.

ie sul: 'r diffel nml felt it ouite right to co-operate with the Americui Society. Indeed, shej cuuld not do otherwise, for whenever she was in want of documents she could not be supplied so well anywhere ns at their office. She said that the executive committee of that Society are the noblest set of people to be found anywhere, and spoke highly of the jYulionul Anti-Slarery Standard as an uncompromising and admirable paper. She says there never was a time when the Garrison party were of more weight, when their lectures were more enthusiastically received or more largely attended. That tbey led the popular sentiment, and that politicians are far from unconcerned in their operations, though they do not vote.

She explained their conscientious objections to voting, nnd at the same time their important office of creators of the public anti-slavery feeling as the foundation of all anti-slavery, political or otherwise. She alluded to the position of the church, and how its pro-slavery nature had provoked th animadversions of the abolitionists whence much of the cry of infidelity arose. She did not mean onj ttieie -mere not eoius operated with the American Society, whose opinions she repudiated unwise aud disagreeable men but they were there only as workers for the slave, and nobody need fear that in sending contributions to the Boston Bazaar, these would be misappropriated. She had heard that such statements were abroad, but she could assure the friends in this country that their gifts helped to carry on the most important anti-slavery operations, collecting of documents, circulating tracts, printing the Jlnli-Slavery Standard, KANSAS LETTER FROM THE WIDOW OF LORD BYRON. Andoves, Nov.

10, 1856. To the Editor of the Boston Telegraph Dear Sir, I have just received fro.u London a note from Lady Bvron, (the widow of the poet,) to Mrs. Stowe, of which I send you a copy October 18, 185G. Dear Mrs. Stowe, Will you kindly undertake, in tranmitting my subscription Towards the relief of the sufferers in Kansas, to secure this point that the money shall not be applied to the purpose of providing arm 1 It is, however, intended as an expression of sympathy with those who have resisted oppression at the haz-trd of life and property; and I cannot but hope that such sympathy is felt as warmly by many here as by Yours, most truly, A.T.

NOEL BYRON. The enclosure was a draft for jG5 sterling. Having had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Lady Byron, I can testify that she is one of the most intelligent and most truly excellent women I have ever seen and her sympathy, good will and prayers for the cause, are, to my feelings, more gratifying than any amount of money. 1 will say of her what was said of Mary in the Gospel She hath, done what the Respectfully, yours, C. E.

STOWE. Hon. John M. Clayton. The telegraph has briefly announced the death of a well-known statesman, Hon.

John M. Clayton, U. S. Senator from Delaware. Mr.

Clayton bad been ill for some time, but until quite recently hopes were entertained or his recovery. He was educated for the bar, and in 1825 was chosen to repre sent his native state in the United states senate, in which office he continued until 1837, nnd was returned to it again in 1815. In 1849 he resigned his office to become Secretary of State under President Taylor, which office he held until the death of the President and the accession of Mr. Fillmore to the Chief Magistracy, when he was succeeded by Mr. Webster.

His name is associated with that of Sir Henry Bulwer, in the Central American treaty. In 1853, Mr. Clayton was again elected to the Senate of the United States, and held that office at the time of his decease, his term not expmug until 1859. To Lyceum Committees. Dr.

J. S. Rock, of this city, is now prepared to enter into engagements to lec ture before Lyceums. In this city, where able and brilliant lecturers are by no means rare, he has won an enviable reputation as a popular lecturer, and we are pleased to learn that he will be invited to lecture be fore some or tbe best literary societies in tbe country. We commend him to those who would secure that order of talent which will please and interest a scientific or a popular audience.

Botlon Bee. As Infamous Calumny Refuted. The N. Y. Timet says: 'Henry Ward Beecher has neither asked nor received pay for a single speech he has made during the present canvass, lie entered into the election solely because he felt a profound interest in the issue which it presented whether he did right or wrong in doing as he did, no man in this country has acted a more dis interested part, or been more exclusively governed by a sense of duty.

Lectcee AT TniPLE. Ralph Waldo Emer son, delivered a lecture in Tremont Temple, on Tuesday evening last, before tbe Young Men's Kansas Relief Society, the pecuniary proceeds thereof to be devoted to the relief of sufferers in Kansas. Mr. Emerson handled the subject of his lecture, Tbe Conduct of Life, in that acbolaetio and finished style, inter spersed with frequent sallies of quiet humor, insepara ble from tbe distinguished gentleman writings- Baltimoee, Nov. 11.

This evening, a large crowd armed with guns and clubs, proceeded to Monament square with tbe effigy of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, and burnt it on the railing of the Battle Monument, in front of Senator Johnson's house. The motive, it is paid, was to manifest indignation at the recent speech delivered by Mr. Johnson in New York. The crowd gave cheers for Fillmore, and groans for Johnson.

Pbof. Hedeick Mobbed. From the Salisbury (North Carolina) Republican Banner, ot Oct. 28th, we take the following the climacteric of a aeries of outrages which find no parallel in the history of any country where freedom of thought and opinion were the fundamental laws of the land Our usually quiet town was the scene of a great uproar and disorderly conduct on TuesJay night last. It became known that Prof.

Hedrick was in town as a delegate to the Educational Convention, which was then in session thia was calculated to excite tbe indignant feelings of many of our citizens, who determined to disgrace him and compel him to leave. An effigy was prepared and placed in front of the Presbyterian church, where the convention was in session, and on the adjournment of the Convention, the effigy was burnt in the presence of the Professor and nearly every member of the Convention. This ought to have satisfied the crowd, but it was only a beginning of the riotous proceedings. They Boon collected in a large force, and proceeded, under much excitement, and with uproar, to the Female Seminary, where Prof. Hedrick was lodging then eame the tug of war." They hallooed, hissed, groaned, and proceeded in a most riotous and reprehen-sive manner to compel Hedrick to leave town.

The excitement became more intense and greater disorder prevailed as they proceeded. The rabble was finally quieted by the appearance of several of our citizens, who prevailed upon them to disperse. A Democratic Revel. On Wednesday night last, a few of the Democrats of Salem, reinforced by some of their comrades from New Lisbon and Can field, held a drunken revel in Salem making night hideous with their curses, their ribald jests, and their heartless scof-fings at the sufferings and outrages of their fellow-citizens in Kansas, and at all who have the humanity to sympathise with them. They freely expressed their hearty sympathy with the slaveholders, and their diabolical scorn nnd hatred of his victims.

These orgies were performed in honor of the supposed success of the national ruffians, wfco propose to sustain tlaveholding and slavery extension as the primary oljects of our Government and such men are fit agents fop such a work, and worthy allies of the ruCins of Missouri aud Washington. Ohio Anti-Slavery Bugle. Wur the, Slaveholders wanted Buchanan Elected. The New Orleans Delta recently gave the following ns its reasons for desiring the election of Buchanan Mr. Buchanan's election would be little more than a negation, but for the pledges he has given in the Ostein! letter, and in his endorsement of the Cincinnati platform.

The South, under his Administration, would have four years longer for preparation. She would have time to strengthen her outposts, placing Kansas, if possible, on one flank, and Cuba on the other, with a valuable rallying point in Nicaragua. Mobb Southern Gospel. The Lutherans of South Carolina, offended by tbe strictures of the Lutheran Observer (Baltimore) upon the conduct of Preston S. Brooks, have, according to the Newberry Jitirror, resolved to establish a religious journal to promulgate nnd expound the gospel according to the patron tint of that little morjl, religious and political uuiverse.

Scandalous. Some students of Princeton, on Wednesday night of last week, had a torchlight procession for the purpose of buryin; John C. Fremont. After parading the streets, carrying a coffin, and groaning and shouting to their hearts' content, they had a funeral oration, burnt the coffin, and then dispersed. The procession consisted of about seventy-five students one of whom was dressed iu woman's apparel.

The Southern Spirit. A slaveholder in Texaa. having no better way of manifesting his bloodthirsty spirit, has taken the safe method of eending the following communication to Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts Eagle Pass. (Texas.) Sept. 11, 1856.

Mr. H. Wilson Sir, Your speeches have been received here, and believing you to be an unmitigated black republican scoundrel, I enclose you some of the ashes, in order that you may judge what would be done with you had we you in this part of the world. William Stone. ST The Charleston Mercury of the 7th contains a long letter, addressed to Gov.

Adams of South Carolina, by It. Barnwell Rhett, urging an immediate dissolution of the Union and the establishment of a Southern confederacy. He urges that next to abolitionism, the chief cause of grievance to the South is the tariff, and he proposes that in the approaching modification of that measure. South Carolina should demand that it should be reduced at least to the standard and principles of 1833, and if such a tariff1 is not conceded, why, be asks, 'should South Carolina, or any other Southern State, any longer keep- representatives in Congress? In another part of bis letter, Mr. Rhett says In my humble judgment, all true statesmanship in the South consists in forming combinations, and shaping events, so as to bring about, as speedily as possible, a dissolution of the present Uuion, and tbe erection of a Southern Confederacy.

Slates Making Tracks on the Underground Railroad. It is reported that fourteen slaves escaped a few nights since from Kenton County, and that about the same time twelve others were missing from the" vicinity of Maysville. Of course, all have gone rapidly northward. Those at Msyville are said to have crossed the ferry under the guidance of a white man, who tola tne lerryman that tarn grws were wanted to carry pig iron across the river to keep the furnace going all night. When tbey got over on free soil, the ferryman was requested to wait for their re turn, which he did for a considerable time.

A white man was since arrested on suspicion of having thus aided the negroes to escape, but as there was no evidence inculpating or identifying him, he was discharged. Cincin nati Gazette, JYbv. 4.

TBE TWENTY-THIRD national Anti-Slavery Bazaar Will be beld as usual in BOSTON, during Christmas and New Year Week. Time and plact of opening io be decided hereafter.) The Anti-Slavery cause baa at length, after a quarter of a century of labors taken possession, in one form or another, of almost every mind in our American com munity. To men' of great sympathies, it has shown the sufferings of the slave to men of a profound sense of right, it has shown his wrongs to men whose hope is in another life, it bas shown him deprived of Bibles, and Sabbaths, and sanctuary privileges to men whose hope is in this life, it has shown him deprived of educa tion and the means of self-improvement and success. To patriots, it has shown their country's shame and dan ger.

To politicians, it has shown one most selfish and accursed interest devouring every true one. To Christians, it has shown their Redeemer crucified afresh in the persons of these the least of his brethren. To philanthropists, it has shown human nature degraded and ruined in the person of both master and slave, by the outrages of the one against the liberty of tbe other. The function of the undersigned, whose privilege during all these years it bas been to give themselves to the work, bas been to arouse their countrymen to the necessity of taking onward and upward step wltb the advancing century. We print books, sustain newspapers, and send out agents, to disseminate truth, and to follow it up with argument, appeal, entreaty, with statements of facts on every department of the subject, theological, financial, social, in order to bring about the abolition of slavery.

The coming occasion, of the TWENTY-THIRD ZAAR, is for the purpose of raising funds to that effect and we confidently call on every compassionate, just, patriotic. Christian and philanthropic heart in the land for aid. Nar, we calx, on every heart, without exception for the power and beauty of this Cause is shown in its faoulty of changing the public heart into its own excellent likeness. But especially, let all who pity fugitives help for our funds go directly to awaken that public sympathy which gives the slave a refuge on every threshold. let all who wish to see Abolitionists in Congress, help ut for our funds go directly to arouse the sensibilities of every patriot, pol itician, statesman, legislator, elector.

By our precept and example of No Union with Slaveholders, we lead the van of a national movement towards the abolition of slavery, which every profound thinker clearly sees would stop without such leading and we especially be seech nil to help in, as it is the only means whereby worthier and swifter than we can take the lead, which only the necessity of the case has bound upon us Communications may be addressed to the Committee at 21 Cornhill, Boston, or to 188 Nassau street, New York.

The co-operation of all friends of Female Medical Education is earnestly invited to an effort which is now being made in New York for tbe establishment of a practical School or Medicine. The great want which is felt at tbe present time by women, who desire to follow the profession of Medicine, is the opportunity of studying by the be lside of the sick for the hospitals are all closed to them, and yet hospital instruction is as indispensable to the student of medicine as the musical instrument to tbe musician.

To meet this want, a number of ladies are engaged in collecting funds for the establishment of a Hospital roa Women and Children, to be organised by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Dr. Maria Zaerzewska and other physicians. This Hospital, while it furnishes an opportunity for the thorough training of medical students, is designed to meet another want, not supplied by Hospitals, viz an earnest religious influence on the patients. The principle on which it will be founded is that nf a.

Christian charitv for the sick Scientific instruction will always me welfare of tbe patieDt each individual, no matter bow degraded, being regarded as a human soul as well as body. The instrument mainly relied on to influence the patients will be a body of carefully trained nurses, freo from sectarian prejudice, but imbued with those great principles of truth which form a Christian life. Private rooms will be preserved in the institution. where ladies of limited means may be admitted, for a very moderate charge, ouch provision is much needed by a multitude of refined women, who are suffering for want of medical aid, which they are unable to pay for. New York is chosen as tne seat of this Institution, be cause it presents peculiar advantages to tbe organisa tion of a fine Hospital and regarding it as tbe great medical centre for women, it is hoped that all parts of tbe country will aid in founding and supporting an In stitution, whose benefits will be snared by all.

The sum of 5000 will be sufficient to carry on a Hos pital of forty beds for one year at tbe end of that time it is believed that its value will be so clearly proved as to command continued support. AU friends of tbe movement are urgently called on to aid in tbe collection of the amount needed for this practical triad. Ladies who desire to assist are invited to join the Sewing Society, which meets every Thursday, from 1 to 5. P. AL.
