LETTER FROM ROBERT EVERETT.

REMSEN, Aug. 9, 1856.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS: DEAR SIR:—I thank you much for your generosity in sending me
your valuable paper in exchange for my Welsh Monthly, , which, of course cannot benefit you, as it is published in a foreign tongue.

In your paper of August 1st, I perceive the following Editorial remark in an article on friend John Thomas's letter: "Brethren, if you are all going for Fremont, would it not be well to give us due notice of the fact, and enable us to shape our course according to the altered posture of political Anti-Slavery affairs."

How greatly would I rejoice to see our Anti-Slavery movements shaped this way—all united for the same grand object—the entire abolition of Slavery from the land and the whole world. My dear Sir, I am an Abolitionist from the bottom of my heart, and have acted with the Abolitionists, from the commencement of our Anti-Slavery struggle, with a warm heart. But at the present time, seeing the danger Kansas is in, and through it, other Territories of the United States, and seeing the mighty effort put forth by the Republican party to ward off the blighting curse of Slavery from our free Territory, and the danger they are in of being overcome by the Administration pro-slavery party; who have the power and purse, and arms, of the Republic, in a sense, at their command. Seeing all this; I feel it to be our solemn duty to come out and aid the Republican cause, by all that we can do in this their hour of need; believing, as I do, that by securing Kansas and Nebraska for freedom, we shall do more to hasten the of Slavery from the whole land, than we can by any other movement at the present time.

I have a son in Kansas with his family, who is a conscientious and firm Abolitionist. He says, in a recent letter, in view of the present state of things: "Would that our good Abolition friends would lay aside everything else for the present, and aid the Republicans in casting their votes for free Kansas."

It would seem that the hand of the Lord is with us at this solemn crisis. The wrong and cruel movements in Kansas, the Ruffianism in our Senate Chamber, and the folly, as well as injustice, of our Administration, have served to arouse the whole land. Surely the wrath of man praises Him. And the Lord has given us just the right man for the occasion, as we may hope, in the person of John C. Fremont—and an influence from on high, rest assured, dear Sir, has gone forth, and vibrates in the hearts of an awakened and injured people throughout the land. O then let all Abolitionists come to the rescuer and join in the commendable movement of putting an end for ever to the extension of Slavery, in America.

Yours in Christian affection,

ROBERT EVERETT.
