and never before having written for publication you may per haps deem some apology necessary for intruding on your time and patience but the scenes that 1 have beheld enacted this day in East Harwich are a suffi cient npology for every individual in the community that has the least regard for the rights of man the liberty of the press freedom of thought and speech the right of free discussion unterrified by monocracy or that has the least iota of humanity in or about him to raise his voice in tones of" thunder in con demnation of such an outrage Being one of those whose life is the ocean wave principally my means of information have been very limited of ac quiring a knowledge of the anti slavery cause and 1 listened to day for the first time to nn exposition of its principles from the lips of a number of champions of freedom among wh rn were Parker Pillsbury oster Lucy Stone and Brown and for the first time in my life 1 heard truth proclaimed fearlessly and publicly regardless of the anathemas of the churches nnd clergy of our land Being at tached to a vessej here and at leisure 1 availed my seilf of the opportunity of attending the anti slavery meeting and most richly was I repaid There I heard the principles of Anti Slavery fully fairly and honorablv discussed and there too 1 saw the princi ples of Northern as well as Southern slaver fully and practically carried out Demonstrations of a mob were manifest quite early in the day but they did not rally sufficient force to commence operations till near the close of the after noon meeting and then commenced a scene such as was unwilling to believe human beings wearing the human form capable of perpetrating until con vinced by ocular deinonsiation them with them" Ride him on a with other choice selections from

a chance to observe their treat I mentof Mr oster I have heard of hell and devils induce pie to that hell had disgorged itself and that all tlie devils were let loose to destroy 1 saw him surrounded

their candidate tor the Presidency of the United States Ovei this meeting the agreeable' duty of presiding wasa signed to me Thpream hie and resolutions adopted at it so fully explain the views of my

it has been your lot to serve your country 1 entertain the fullest convic tion that should it be our good fortune to see you elected to that high station you will so administer the laws ofour country

of Dissolving the Union and with more specific ones of diverting Southern trade into other channels Then was the Era of Public Meetings in all the great cities at which the chiefest men were set to

There was but one voice heard from the high places from Legislatures Courts ol Justice Excliiuiges Presses and Pulpits one denouncing the Abolitioni ts and deprecating their Agitation Even the guarded and qualified testimony of Channing was almost more han men could bear And when John Quincy Adams was engaged in the first desperate encounters of hi struggle with the Slave Power for the simple right of Petition knowing men shook their heads and said old man will find himself expelled yet if he is not careful And the shake ofthe head being interpreted signified and serve him right too Ami then Pro
