dresses on the subject Of Emancipation In Rev
Henry Ward Beecher's Church, Brooklyn. Mr.
soobe took rapid view o. the rise and progress OF
the Emancipation Cause. originating with the abors
of Wilberorce ard Carlson and following it to the
present time He said that not only was ,ae Anti
Slavery principle strong in Europe and in Crest
Britain. but it had also extended into Northern
Africa When the Bey OF Tunis emancipa.ed his
slaves aud effected the abolition of Slavery in
Tie realm lie made the remark ,ble and noble declar-
a:.on that he had done for the glory of God and
TO distinguish man from the brute Creation"
In the Eastern Hemisphere, and IN the Western
also the work is going on. The large audience as
senbled here this evening 70 hear stranger was an
evidence tina, parts Of the world there are
thousands and millions OF hearts which cherished
the principles Of a0slutlon. tie regarded It as an
/ evidence that the day Is coming, when there would
/ hot he slave IL the United states.
MI. Sco0le PROCEEDED 10 speak Of the results Of
! Emancipation III the West Indies. These results
are estin at.d differently by different men Some
estimate them by the number OF bales OF cotton
the h0gSEcad OF sugar ana the sacks of coffee. We
90 not ship much sugar. but we lose less lives IN
It's Gu tyaiion there Is not so much cotton and coi'
see sent INTO the great market OF the world out then
the lab and cuifivafofS are becoming land hold
els, and are cultIyatlng for their own consumption,
! aid are advancing IN their position IN society.
The speak r 4" cit on the physical and moral re-
suits Of Fuancpatlon on TIC colored people It's
not Reasonable 10 expect that certain class of the
| people OF any nation, who had been degraded and
Oppressed, couic have SO radical change in their
condton, anu not have some adverse circumstances

moral, and religious relations, the condition Of the

There is not Que among the planters and proprc-
tors who wishes return 10 slavery Planters speak

in material prosperity the colored people are al
vsnoing. Many OF tnem are becoming land o SnerS.
II Is remarkable how much they have mere aSed IN
intelligence since emancipation Some OF the hSn-
est oiCts Of trust ard honor are hlled by conrcd
gentlemen. In the Legislature, White and c0lOred
men SIT together Look at the bar. There are some
cOiOTed men there who have been educated IN Eu-
rope. In Jamaica there two OF three oar9Sters,
colored men, who stand at the head Of the bar.
Government entTnsts the mdetsacy To men OF color,
and they ST Size by side with their whe friends.
The pffWtlce gilnst color, which was so strong
during Slavery, passed away, and 1t viii probably
be the same ia The United States, when Slavery Il
atOl shed here. The govemOrshlp Of one of the
islands rendered to Richard HI, coored gem

Af.er referring 10 Brazil and Spain, the speaker
looked at the position OF the United states IN regard
TO Slavery and the state of public opinion In Eng
rnd on he question. He came here to speak from
observation and experience as a man. IL IS queS-
ton which belongs To the race, and as maa he
affirmed he had right 10 speak for the oppressed OF
mankind

England, representing some four thousand churches,
on the question of slavery IN the United states.
The magnitude of the relations involved formed the
reasons Tor British interest IN the subject, and the

IN some further Interesting remarks, pressed the
great thought .ol Emancipation ITS blessings and its
benefccht results, and closed with the recitation Of
teauii'ul passage Of poetry.
Lewis Tappan, Esq, here rose and stated that
VIM w. Anderson, Esq, OF Jamaica, lawyer, anu

The planter is obliged to support every one on his
pantailon-the DID, the SICK, the children, &c, &C.
leaving the really seryiceabe, available force at not
more than one-thlrd Of the whole. As this burden
does not fail upon the planter now OF course his cost
OF pToductOnIs less.
Mr. Audman spoke OF the importance OF religious
