Both are strong anti-slavery .men in presence of friend oud foe, and ,uch was their uniform rectitude of charac ter, their christian fidelity, kindness, and 'rorbgarance to all,' that they won the good .'will of their keepers and all who mode their acquaintance. Efforts had been mo 1 kitig for nearly 2 years for their release. Their friends in Philadelphia hod given - a lawyer here about 800 to aid in the wok; but like many others of his calling. .r.e seemeo to care but little about his cli Wafr lie . had obtained his, fee. The ? wife of Mr. Drayton came on here early Inst spring, natd some three months and s while here procured the signatures to a petition for her husband's release, of n part oi the slaveholders who were owners of 'the slaves that undertook to escape.- She ooaraea at the bouse at which I am beard ing, and never shall I forgot the earnestness wtib which she worked to accomplish the desired object of her herat. The slavehold - ers would often repulse her with rudeness ns she presented the petition-to them. .Be gone! your husband stole our slaves, and . if he had had his deserts he would have fceen bung." . This would not dampen her ardor.' . She persevered until she procured n majority of the names of the slave-owners. Upon this Senator Sumner drew op a long argument and presented it to the President. The news came thai the PrsiJent had rejected the application. Mrs. Drayton was so overwhelmed wiih grief that I took meas ures to ascertain the truih of the rumor. -1 learned from ' the State - Department that the President, doubting his power to pardon, had ;referd-tha cae to the At torney General. -.This .was before ' the .Baltimore nomination, and it was believed that no decision would be made until after 'the Whig Convention and not a favorable one then, had President Fillmore got the nomination. Perhaps no one prayed more fervently for Mr. ' Fillmore's defeat than vtlid Mrs. Drayton. It was openly avowed -by leading Whigs here that he would not pardon the men if he got the nomination. ' ' He was not nominated and ihey were par doned. .Thanks to a kind Providence and ' the arduous, persevering labors and inter cessions ot benator Sumner. .. . '! 'When the order for their release was sent to the Marshall of the District, it was accompanied by a request from Stewart, Secretary of the Interior, that the prison 'ere be kept in jail till he could send to the Governor of Virginia for - a requisition for them to be taken there. - Thta was villainy un parallelled. . Mr. Sumner was apprized of the State of affairs, and he immediately ,took a hack and went to the Jail, and de ' - manded their release. Their prison doors fwere thrown open and with trembling limbs ana joyiut countenances the victims ol . wrong. and outrage walked forth ones more 'to breathe "the pure air of ' heaven. ' They 'were burned into the hack and taken to t 'place of safety. The evening cars hod al - ready left-and every livery stable in the .city had refused to hire o conveyance to ; take them to Baltimore. It was known that the slavery hounds were on their track. and no time was to be lost.

' "; ' - One of the lines, that should as we think, command the attention of the public, at this time, is the Clinton inr, as it is called. This line was ran several years ago by a son of the late Gov. Clinton. It passes from New York, on the general route cf the Erie Rail Road to Olean from thence to Meadville thence to' Warren, Trumbull County thence to Ravenna, and on through Franklin', south-westerly, and may now con nect with the Belfontatne or Ohio and Indi ana roads.1 - ' 1 The central position of ibis line, the coun try through which it passes, the great saving of distance, must certainly: .command for it the attention of capitalists, and ere long in sure its construction. - -. -" ' We understand that an excellent charter is in existence, that may be used hr the whole distance in Ohio. This charter was seeured prior to the adoption of the New Constitution nnd hence capitalists who pre fer a charter, divested of the personal liability clause and other restrictions under the gen eral law, can be accommodated. : y An orgnn'zation under this charter, has already bced effected, and we -are informed that immediate efforts will be made losecura surveys, subscription of atoek &o.,&c. . : . Our object in noticing it at this time is to j call the attention of our citizens to it, for it is of most essential interest to our commu nity, that the road should connect with, or crus3 our road at this place. And by; suita ble and proper effoit this can be secured. Indeed, there is, we are well informed, a nat ural valley from Warren, through Newton Falls to this place, and we are well persua ded that our citizens, one and all, should at once awake to tbeir true interests, and lake tho proper measures to secure -this impor tant connection.

The number of inhabitants, is, I believe about 1500, who are engaged in raining, manufac turing, agriculture and the mechanic arts. We have, in the village three flourishing churches, an Academy with. 110 students, four taverns, one- of which is a thorough temperance house, sevenEturbeslffe8 - odd.Bniinklwsresin6lishments called gro ceries." 1 he prolessions are not represent ed here as io many - places,, but still, well enough. One half the professional men of almost any community, might be spared and nobody suffer. v We have one resident cler gyman, two physicians, and what is quite strange, no tutcyei. In the matter , of busi ness there are but few places of the aize do ing more. . There are some five coal banks in the immediate yiciniiy from which is taken annually some 7O,80(J'or 80000 tons nf very good coal," thus! agording employment toa large number - of miners and a fair profit, to the owners. The principal feature of inter est connected with the place i a large Roll ing Mill with facilities f.r turning out 100, 000 tons of iron annually of all sorts and sizes from the heavy shaft down to the carpet tack, and some of which is of a superior quality. The proprietors have recently put in opera tion several machines fur making rail road spikes, which perform their work with as tonishing celerity and perfection. There is also a furnace for the manufacture of " Pig Metal", from the ore, employing some fifty persons , and a foundry furnishing labor for some fifteen more, besides the usual propor tion engnged in the mechanic arts. In ad dition to the above evidences of enterprise tilings, a large flouring mill," and a "wool- Tleil liitTory " not now in operation.

The pulpit here, as. in almost every place, has. been shamefully false to its true mission, in witholding from the people those truth's and mjuoiplea. without- whii'.h, religion is .all a farce, and .worship mockery and impiety. " It doesbot "stand acknowl edged ihe most important and effectual guard and ornament of virtues cause.' "By it the violated liw does" not ' speak out its thun ders." I can conceive of no spectacle more painful and revolting to the true friend of Christianity than that which is presented to day by the American Church, with some ev RiTOjipigWrirnil lW Lie esb'Tdiscountenaoce " all future rlwen inn ..f I ' ceptions, in her blind prejudice and tricked conservatism. Ia my love for the church in her true character, and in the accomplish ment of her true mission on earth, and in my respect for her true and faithful ministers, I yield to no man ; but with all my love for the one and respect for the other, I charge the Church and her ministers, before God with the high crime, of being false, shamefu ly false, to the principles of that Gospel of which she stands forth before the world as the only exponent false to the character of Him whom she professes to represent, false to the true interests of the race and the real wants of a perishing world. Never, in the whole his tory of the world has an opportunity, like the present, been presented to the Church, to force the truth, like burning coals upon the consciences and hearts of men, and never before, has she stood before that world so completely shorn of mor) power and cover ed wi h infancy.' , With many this is a mat ter of rejoicing, but with every true christian and philanthropist, a cause of deep aod heart felt sorrow. . Unless the church . can be first emancipated, there can be but little hope for a struggling world. - When , religion was airly represented before the world a score of representatives and advocates could set in motion a train of influences which soon be came the master power to move the world They came. They bbw. They conquered.' They testified fur Christ and the Idols of the heathen vanished. They boldly and unceas ingly waged war with all sin, "and advocated the truth and that truth triumphed ovei all the varied forms of corruption and legalized wrong! AH this she did, and a thousand fold more, and this too, without the shadow of external appendage or earthly grandeur and power. Now with all her multitudes and poweTofifirthly influence she has no alter native but to fight the phantoms of abstract sin ancf float io the foul current nf a corrupt public sentiment. Like a corpse clad in silks and tinsel she corrupts beside her goIJen tomb. Like the worshippers of Baa! she calls Tor fire from. Heaven to consume her sacrifice and Baal does not" hear. ."

He " made no pretentions to public speaking, was an every day laborer," could "chop and mowt xaLm ami liiml miynatiirnlly," &c. &c. He demonstrated, however, before setting down, that lie was a thinker, as well as a farm la borer, and that he could tell hi thoughts, too; and in a style ami manner not uninteresting to his hearers. - His subject in particular was a consideration of the sphere and objects of a Republican Government rhnwed that its ob ject should be protection not robbery. See. Mr. Spe'man followed in a brief ppeech, which closed the proceeding- till Friday eve ning, when he appeared again on the stand at an early hou", and having a full audience be fore him, proceeded to address it in a re markably clear and calm manner. He re viewed successively the Fugitive Slave Law, and the Democratic and Whig Platforms. All and each of these underwent a merciless scrutiny and exposition, ' Compromises and Baltimore Platforms fare miserably in Spell man's h inds. It must have been hard even for the worst specimens of total depravity liv ing, to have resisted his appeals to conscience, in his application of the subject; so that, if the partisans present were of a more tender or susceptible character, they were mightily smitten down under the power of the truth, and mny be expected ere long to " bring firth fruits meet for repentance." Indeed, sir, some if not all of the leading partisans in our Town are cool, veiy cool. This being the oondition of our leaders, you "an guess how it is with the mass, and reason from that why it is that the woul l-le lenders are so cool. I predict that m-ither Scott nor Pierce will be greatly indebted to Rootstown for their elec tion, for you know they are both to be elect ed, if very honest, sanguine looking men tell the truth.

Therefore, either Briggs, in pronouncing Scott an Anti-Siuvery man, or Scott, in declaring himself to be in favor of those villanies, 'says the thing that is not.' Which is it ? Does. Briggs know Scott bet ter than Scott hnows himself? If Briggs is right, then Scott fibs it ; and we object to being asked to vote for any man on the ground that he is a liar." : Right.

In tho fnli of 1849. I wns violently attacked with cold and infinmation of ihe lungs, which wnsfce enmpanied with a very dislressing rouh. pin ia llio breaxt, ido and back: with o very eonicra bla discharge of offensive mailer rura the tanas, shortness ol breath, loss of appetite, night sweats. &c. The family physician was called in. and did all within his power, but pave me no relief. My symptoms grew worse, and I found that I was fast s.'nking into consumption; t beenmo so weak that I was not able to set up but a few minutes at a time. My physician advised roe to u?e pnient medicines; I did so for some lime, but with no bel ief success, lie then told that in ihe sprin? 1 would get heller or worse. Bly friends from a d. lance curae to see me.as Ihey supposed, fsr the last lime. I then called in another physician, and un der his care and ihe wurra weather. I got so that I could walk and ride about until Kail: then I sunk down again, and mv physician said thnt if I "! nut co south. I could not live loinrer tliiin s)irini. so I gave up n1 hopes of recovery. tJuriae me summer ol 18j0 I saw your advertisement, and concluded to see you, which I ltd.
