“I send you three copies of my paper.  Since receiving your letter, I and my family have done all in our power to get it out, but we had to get old type from the foundry and sort it, to make the sheet the size you now see it.  We hate to be put down by the influence of tyranny, and you cannot imagine our sorrow, anxiety, necessity and determination.” * * * “I have received, since the press was destroyed, 700 dollars in all, which has been spent in repairing and roofing our dwelling-house, and repairing the breaches made upon the office, together with mending the presses and procuring job type and some little for the paper, but nearly all the latter is old type.  Our kindest thanks to the liberty-loving people of your country, Scotland, and Ireland, and tell them I shall never surrender the cause of freedom.  A little money from all my friends, would soon reinstate me, and when they see my paper I trust it will cheer their hopes, and cause a new fire for liberty in Kentucky.

THE PERSECUTED BEREANS.—­There is another call connected with Kentucky, which we wish to bring before our friends.  At a village in that State, called Berea, (situated in Madison county), a little band of Christian men and women, had been pursuing their useful labors for some years past.  They avowedly held Anti-slavery sentiments, but this was the beginning and end of their offending.  They possessed a farm and saw-mill, etc., and had established a flourishing school.  These good people were quietly following their usual employments, when, in the early part of last winter, sixty-two armed Kentuckians rode upon horseback to their cottage doors, and summarily informed them that they must leave the State in ten days’ time, or would be expelled from it forcibly.  All pleading was hopeless, and any attempt at self-defence out of the question.  They bowed before the storm, and hastily gathering up their garments, in three days’ time were on their road to Ohio.  Their three Christian pastors took the same course.  One of the latter has since returned to Kentucky, to bury his youngest little boy, in a grave-yard attached to one of the churches there.  He was enabled to preach to the people who assembled on the occasion, but was not allowed to remain in his native State.

Another of the exiles ventured to go back to Berea, but this immediately led to an outbreak of popular feeling, for his saw-mill was set on fire by the mob, and presently destroyed.  The exiles are consequently still in Ohio, or wandering about in search of employment.  We have been privileged in receiving two letters respecting them, from one of their excellent pastors, John
