HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX Will Deliver a Lecture on Mi'alamLiaeeta, At WILLEY & SIGLER’S Rensselaer, Thursday Evening, May 20. Mr. Colfax has delivered this Lecture in all parts of the country, receiving everywhere unstinted praise. and applause No man knew I’resiuent Lincoln more intimately during the most trying period o p his life, than Mi. Colfax, and this lecture’is not made up cf matter already published, but gives an entirely new view of the pure cliaraeter of the map. who had charity for all and malice toward none.’ Read What the Press ©f It:

From Cliiistian at Work'. —Our former \ ice L’resiilent, Mr. Colfax, ilelivered tin cioiptcni. uttiqueand rousI ing lecture to a large audience at ; Brooklyn, last Saturday night, the j stormiest night of the season. His I -theme wtis “Abraham Lincoln.” Air. i Colfax for four-year.s was in Mr. Lin- ■ coin’s most intimate confidence. The lecture is not a hash ol olc stories, but a new revclat on. It is the heart and ’ home of Abraham Lincoln turned in- , side out. The lecture is worth fifty i ordinary lyceum lectures. It ought to . be heard in every hall, church, town i and eity of the country. From Springfield, Mass., Republic can.—Schuyler Colftix, in his lecture upon Abitiham Lincoln, at the City i Hail, hist night, met ;i notably cordial welcome. Springfield gave him j a substantial responsive audience, no- ■ liveable for its diversified, respectable ’ character. The lecture wtis, of course, in the highest degree tin intimate, ap- ! ureciative review, full of intelligent . discernment of the character, life and labors of President Lincoln, brimming over with those famous “stories.” Many people pressed forward io greet Mr. Colfax after his talk ; and t!te succeeding Odd Fellows’ reccp- ; tion at their hall was an enthusiastic compliment to their dietinguished brother, as the rooms were completely filled by the members of the order and their invited friends. From Burlington,la., Gazette,Dem: Mr. Colfax's lecture was a magnificent one, ami listened to most attentively by his auditory. It wa-j such a lecture as every school boy in the country should hear—one that would cause the youth to revere and emulate the virtues of Abraham Lincoln. The words recall many sad images of the. war to every heart—but through till, the central figure was that plain, blunt man whose tender heartedness shone out in every act.The lecturer was frequently interrupted by applause.

From Kansas City, Mo., Times. Dem. —lt was a large and intelligent aiidi ence that greeted Schuyler Colfax at the Second Presbyterian Church, last evening, to hear him lecture upon “The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln.” One rarely sees an assembly of hearers, all of whom seemed so interested and attracted, and gave such undivided attention to the speaker. Mr. Colfax was introduced by Mr. John Doggett and the audience responded to his bow with loud applause His manner of address, so pleasant and free, seemed to captivate his hearers at once. He began his address by touching upon the humble birth of Mr. Lincoln, and passed rapidly ovar his earlv life, barely mentioning his rise and success to the time of his election to the Presidential chair. His remarks were replete with interest, humor, pathos, and admirable senti inents. The entire lecture was an ex cellent delineation of the life and character of the man who had “mal 'ice toward none, but. charity for all.'’ The lecture was given under the auspices of the Y. M. C IA., and it is safe to say that all present wore highly entertawed and pleased with Mr. Col fax as and orator. From St. Paul. Minn., Anti-Monop-olist. -Ex-Vice President Colfax de livered three lectures hist week, in this State, as follows - at Ausun, Rochester and Lake City. He was well received at all those places, having a larger house at the latter [dace than any speaker that ever visited the city. His lecture is entirely devoid of politics, the subject being the “Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln.” , From the St. Louis, Mo., Democrat: As a whole the lecture was <i most remakablc one, worthy of the fame of the man to whose memory it was de voted.
