This may be made by previous arrangement and co operation a grand financial means byyvhich to supply Massachusetts with lecturing agents The devoted friends of the cause who have the gift of speech thould be there with the fervent and convincing eloquence that the time demands for multitudes will doubtless be Managers of the Rural air will be there with a choice collection of valuable and beautiful things suited for holiday presents and multitudes will doubtless be there to purchase Those friends who have the gift of musical ability whether vocal or in stuinental are earnestly entreated to avail themselves of this opportunity to aid the cause by drawing the multitude within the range of anti slavery influ ences But the principal means of making the day not only improving and delightful but profitable to the cause in a financial point of view will be the sale of refreshments or these the managers must rely mainly on the contributions of friends Let the abo litionists in every town and village take the steps to raise supplies that they did previous to our anti sla very celebration of the 1st of August at Hingham year before last and the financial result will sur prise themselves Whatever is contributed in this way will by the arrangements of the Managers of the Rural air be prepared and disposed of to the best advantage The cream sugar ice which might easily be sent and which doubtless will be contributed will be made into ice creams The fruit and flowers will be sure to find a profitable sale as well as the provisions of 1 every description Donations in money from such as prefer to aid in that way will be most welcome as affording the means of making more money of it by supplying the wants of the visiters if the direct con tributions of refreshments should be insufficient Strawberries raspberries flowers will be especially needed A gratuitous supply of oats with a volunteer band of friends of the cause to take charge of the horses and vehicles of

It looks like Bos Trans Dear Garrison We owe no gratitude to the last Legislature oftliis State for any anti slavery work that it did and as little credit is due it for any advance toward the abo lition of the Gallows though the committee on Capital Punishment deserve all honor for their can did and liberal course and for the large of reform which they recommended Still the various bills were lost and Michigan has the honor which we so much coveted for old Massachusetts of being the first to trust so far to the civilization and Christ ianity of the nineteenth century as to dare to do without the gibbet Jefferson thought that if the experiment of self government succeeded in this country it would be greatly owing to the fact for which we are indebted to circumstances and not to design that we are an assemblage of distinct colonies The same circum stance greatly facilitates reforms in the law The new western States springing into existence in the midst of modern theories and discussions untram melled by the habits and prejudices of the past are far more ready to give a fair trial to all that the latest experience of our own and the European world has taught us than the States of the Atlantic border The European may smile at our attributing the obsti nacy and setness of age to any of these youug re publics but those on the spot can perceive a mark ed difference in the readiness with which new views in legislation and politics are admitted in the valley of the Mississippi and on the ocean shore I look upon this circumstance as one designed by Provi dence to help us all forward Massachusett will learn in the light which young Michigan reflects back upon us and from emulation of her example and sympathy with her spirit the lesson which she has refused to heed when coming from the other side of the water In regard to the civil position pecially true that the western States have drunk deeper of the fresh spirit of the age them are far in advance of us in the matter of giving to married women full control over their prop erty and this leads me to notice the recent steps of our own Legislature in that directian steps so im portant significant and interesting that I wish through your columns to extend the knowledge of themas widely as possible They show the silent and steady progress of public opinion and I think the anti slavery movement may justly claim a large share of the credit of having given though indirect ly the first impulse to this reform 1 (lave always thought that the first right restored to wckinan would be that of the full and unfettered control of all her propeity and earnings whether she were marrried or unmarried This too is in one sense the most im portant to be secured The responsibility of such a trust at once

and signed by 400 persons There were able opponents in the discussion and every point was mosj cautious ly examined Nothing was hurried through with few or no persons voting as we have sometimes seen but every body understood everything and with true Western enthusiasm every body seemed determined to have full voice in the proceedings It was worth the whole journey of eight hundred miles only to

Charles Torrey in the High Streeet (Cong) Church on Wednesday even ing 17th (the Richmond Street Church where Torrey used to preach being refused for that pur pose a la mode Park Street Boston The notice was given in only one of our newspapers had it been more general the house would have been crowded not excepting the aisles As it was the house was well filled But few of the clergy attended and ex cepting the members of the High Street and two or three smaller churches of the more radical stamp there was but a slim attendance of the more pious and godly sort they believing it necessary
