The FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE IN ALnAN,
held a very large and spirited meeting at thu
City Hall on Friday evening last, after th
promulgaton OF Gov. Seymour's Veto. Rev
Mr.. THAYER Of Albany, presided, and thu
meeting was addressed by o. B. PIERCE, Esq
OF Rome, and Messrs. b. JOY and G. w
STERLING Of the Assembly. The following
Resolves were reported by Committee and
unanimously adopted, viz;
Whereas, Horatio Seymour, Governor o
this State, has, by an unjus,ifable exercise o
his constitutional power, in opposition to the
wishes OF large majority Of tho voters OF
this State, vetoed the "Act for the suppress
sion OF Inte importance.
Resolped, That in 80 doing the Governor
has arrayed himself in direct sntagonism to al
the dearest interests Of humanity; that homes
made desolate, wives made widows, children
made orphans, and all the evils flowing from
the prosecution o. the Rum Traffic, have re-
this mark Of Executive favor.
Resolved, That we do not concur with Mr.
Delavan In believing "that, in coming to this
decision, he has been governed by convic-
tion OF duty" That we do not believe that
Mr.. Delavan, in this assertion, represents the
sentiment Of the Temperance men of this
State.
Rssoived, That while such men as ex-Chiof
Justice Savage, cx- Chancellor Walworth' and
sthers Of the most eminent lawyers and jur-
ists Of this State, after thorough exsmina-
tion of the proposed law, declare it to be.
Constitutional, we prefer rather to agree with
them than to place reliance in the assertions
Of such Constitutional lawyers as lioratis
Seymour.
Res0lpod That the Constitutionslty OF
law 10 prohibit the traffic In Intoxicating
Drinks, and the right TO sesrch for and destroy
liquor unlawfully kept for sale, has been fully
maintained by every Court Of Record in every
State where the question has been raised,
as also In the United States Courts, and we
challenge our enemies TO cite one case 10 The
contrary.
Resolved, That with true hearts and strong
hands, we pledge ourselves, in view OF the
fate OF the present law, to do our share of the
work necessary to the election this year Of an
Assembly and Governor who will unite in the
passage OF Prohibitory Law, to take effect
May !, 1866.

The Neto York Tribune contains a letter
from its Paris correspondent, giving the sub
stance of an interview had with special
agent now on his way from the Emperor of
Russia to this country. The Tribune endorses
the statements as quite reliable. 1t is init
mated, among other things, that the agent is
authorized to sell to this country the impor-
tant post of Sitka, In Russian America, and
perhaps all of her territories on thus CONT
nent. The Emperor, it is said, is preparing
for a ten years war that he withdrew from
Silistria, not because the Russians were worst
cd, but because the position of Austria induc-
ed him to change his plans. He has now an
immense armament ON the Austrian frontier,
and will turn the war upon that empire. His
first msve will be on Vienna, which he will
take and hold, and will then overrun hungary
and Bohemia, expecting to receive the sympa-
thy of the people of Hungary.
This agent has had extraordinary opportu-
mites as counsellor and confidant of the
Court, and as a member of the staff of the
Grand Duke Constantine,to become acquaint-
ed with the views and interests of the Emper-
or in the present contest

600 gold dust on freight and 100000 in the
hands of passengers.
The U. S. sloop-of-war Cyane arrived at
San Juan on the 18th to demand a full and
satisfactory apology for the insult to Mr..

The authorities and inhabitants refused to
make the slightest apology.
On the 18th, Capt. Hollins issued pro-
clamation TO the parties, announcing that I'M
less an apology was made by A. NJ, next
day, he should proceed to lombard the town.
No apology came. In the meantime, the

FREDERICK DoUGLAss's ADDRESS. On the
18th day of July inst, Frederick Douglass
delivered, by appointment, the usual COM
mencement address before the literary socie-
ties of the Western Reserve College, Ohio
Mr.. Douglass took for the subject of his adj
dress, the I" claims of the negro to be called
man, as opposed to the theory of his inferior
ity, as propounded by Morten Gliddon, and
Others We need not say that he discussed
the question with great force and ability.
1t seems supcrerrogatory to discuss whether
or not God hath made Of one blood all-the
nations of men = but human speculation, hui
man prejudice, or cold material science, seems
to have compelled the discussion. The theory
of the natural diversity of races is theory
which originally obtains in the philosophy Of
American slavery. The Jewish Mahometan,
and Christian religions, explicitly teach the
unity of man. 1t was reserved for American
Christians and philosophers to deny it. The
naughty Norman gloried in the distinctions
of classes; but he never was bold enough to
question the unity of the human race. South
ern theologians have long questioned it, and
now Northern philosophers try to bolster up
their theology. We think the presence of
Mr.. Douglass, at the commencement, was in
itself an argument sufficient to overthrow a
hundred speculative propositions about the
mental inferiority of the negro He showed
fhaf ba xyae fopo;l;or Will, fba raporo1 ~, 4
natural history of man. His language was
chaste, and his reasoning strong, able and
logical.
There are few intellectual men, no matter
what their advantages may have been, who
would rashly encounter this eloquent and able
"slave," ON any subject which he has investi-
gated.
1t has been customary, with our Southern
diyines" and comparative philosophers, to
exhibit the best types of the Anglo-Saxon
race, alongside of the most brutifed type of
the negro. Mr.. Douglass asks that the best
types of both races be presented, and in such
a case he does not fear comparison. We
khOW one MllIe race ouIselNeSJ llllI W OuI
notion does not begin to compare with the
negro race, mentally. The best type of it
tlat we have seen, is far inferior, morally,
mentally, and socially, to Frederick Douglass.
Give the negro an equal chance with the
white man in this country, and the miserable
assumption of their generic inferiority would
vanish, before thousand such noble demon
STATIONS as Frederick Douglass makes.
