Anni blekensou's Lecture.
Notwithstanding the extreme inclemency of
.I.le weather, Concert Rail was crowded last
evening to Its extremmt corners to hear the Ice
ture of this eloquent young lady upon "The
Meaning of the Election." 'The subject was a
grand one, and grandly did the speaker rise to
it. With graphic force she traced the progress
of (minion from the low paint It occupied at the
beginning of this war, up through Its successive
stages, marked by toll. and agony , and blood, to
the grand utterance -of a nation baptiied in
as pranouneed by the electien of the Sth
o ISorenkber': But that was not enough; the
goal is not yet reached; anti she pointed forward
to the time when the Meek Matt 5h91114 Hef.t.t ,

privileges. Miss Dickenson Is_ a good deal in
advance of the average public sentiment of the
country on some points; but If the march of
public opinion 'progresses for three years longer
as It has foe three years past, her views, so fer
vidly uttered, and no bold and startling; will
become the-calm and settled sentiment of the
cation.
This glitch lady, when In a state of repose,
has nothing In her appearance to distinguish her
from other handsotne young women. But when
aroused by her theme, and-the burning. words
leap forth strong, rlnging,•clear and penetrating,
the hearer forgets for the moment that they ilow
from the lips of one, of the gentler, sex, so Inat.
culine aro the thoughts, and • so- hold,"and yet'so
choice, is the language In which. they are clothed.
