A RIGHT KIND OF LETTER.

JANESVILLE, Wis., Feb. 21st, 1860.

Mr. DOUGLASS: DEAR SIR:—I am very
happy to inform you that my effort to make
up a club for your paper, has been crowned
with success. I raised the required sum in
little over one hour, which was far better than
I anticipated, owing to the hard times. Hav
ing been so successful in my first effort, I was
encouraged to make another, and I succeeded
in getting three subscribers and the promise
of two more—so you will perceive I only
lack $2,00 of another club, which I think I
can collect during this week. In making up
this club, I have not been stimulated alone by
the premium, so generously offered, but by an
honest and ardent desire to increase the circulation of your excellent paper, knowing that
in so doing I am aiding in sustaining one of
the best papers, and one of the ablest and
most noble advocates the colored people of
this country ever had, the loss of which would
be one of the saddest political calamities that
could befall us, as a people, especially at this
time; the pride and satisfaction of having,
though in a very small degree, aided to sustain so worthy a paper is, to me, ample compensation.

Before closing this letter I wish to return
my sincere thanks and gratitude to the gentle
men who subscribed so willingly and readily,
and who paid their subscription so promptly
when I called on them. Among the subscrib
ers are several men of the legal profession,
who are warm friends of the anti-slavery cause,
the most conspicuous of which is Hon. Wm.
M. Tallman. Mr. Tallman is one of our
wealthiest and most influential citizens; is an
Abolitionist in the true sense of the word; he
is a man of good intellect, cultivation and re
finement, possessed of strong moral courage;
he is neither ashamed or afraid to denounce the
diabolical system of slavery in private as well

as in public, for which he has the respect and
approbation of all the true friends of liberty;
and his integrity of purpose and tenacity to
principles challenge the admiration of his bit
terest political opponents. Such a man is, in
deed, worthy of our regard and appreciation,
and we regret, for the cause of suffering hu
manity and our down-trodden fellow-men, that
such men are not more numerous in this
country.

WM. J. HARDIN.
