a statement which, in The Liberia Herald of the 18th
of January the President is said have made in his
address to the Council and House of Representatives
of that settlement which is az follows:
That had the pleasure hearing lose ph Surge the Qua
ker express in large public meeting that whatever might have
been the motives Of southern advocates OF Liberia
Divine Providence destined 90 DO more for the elevation OF
the and toward the introduction Of civilization end Chris
tsiy into Africa than other enterprise civil OF religious
hitherto conceived"
Now neither holdnor did express such sentiments
So far as can recOect the substance of my remarks
on taking the chair the annual meeting of the Abo
rhymes Projection Society last year was, that perhaps
Others as well as my self had felt at one time degree
of prejudice against that Society because IFS honorary
Secretary my friend DIR. HOdg kin, had been a warm
friend of the American Colonization Society, but that
wished to express my cordial approval of the general
objects of the Aborgines Protection Society; and with
regard to Liberia though it originated with the sup
poriers of Slavery in America yet understood II was
now an Independent State, and whatever might be its
origin should rejoice if II proved blessing to Africa.
AZ the statement has been copied into The NEw-
YORK DAILY TRIBUNE of Aprl 20, and my attention
has been called to it by one of my Abolition friends in
that city, shall be obliged by the insertion of this let

SOUTHERN UNION 1.-THE MEETING AT TEN
8: Y pERENCE HALL.


:PERkHCE HALL
- On Saturday evening, last in response to the
call published in the city papers of las, week. a
very largo and respectable meeting of the citi.
zens Of Muscogee, without distinction Of party,
was held at Temperance Hall. The meeting
was remarkable both in point of numbers and
for the Intelligence and responsibility Of the
persons composing it, including as it did the
best and truest men in our community, from all
the variou. political par,ies-whether Demo.
cratic or Whig, Union men or Firc-eaters, Know
Nothings or Anti Know Nothings-all of whom,
10 the numbesof some seven hundred, had as
sembled to take counsel together upon the ne
cessity and means OF constituting the people of
the South one People and one Party.
We commend the action Of The Muscogee
meeting and the spirit which pervaded it, to the
calm consideration of the people of all parts OF
tho State and of the South, that us speedily as
possible.it may b. known whether the sentiments
conveyed are those of portion of the people
only, or whether they are the great controlling
conviction Of the body Of the people Of the
Southern States of the confe 1eracy. Let the
people determine this question in their hearts
ard ut their homes. Let it be commenced in
their PRIMARY assemblies, and echoed through
the Press, that friends may be strengthened and
sustained in their bigh resolve, and enemies ad:
vised of the cost Of further innovation upon our
constitutional rights.

KEY, in the 35th year Of his age.
"He WAS my BRorHER" L.
JOHN POWER, SEN, was born in the State Of
Virginia; in the year ITO. He moved to Edge-
Fl Id, S. c., about / 795, and from thence TO Abbe-
vile in 1906, where he died on the 18th March,
1855, in the Saith year Of his age.
He was received into the Methodist Church BY
the Rev. JOHN Tsrrant, in 1913, and remained a
consistent member Us long Us lie lived. And while
it gives US pan to record the death of old veteran
Of the Cross, who fought the BATTLES Of his Lord for
fortytwo ycars-it gives us pleasure to be enabled
to say that whether an officer in the Church, or
private member, he vas the same bold, jealous aud
unflinching advocate OF his masters cause and we
would have had him to remain on earth, rs living
monument Of truth, SINCERITY, and derP.tohed piety
Nevertheless, the Lords will be done. Blessed be
his holy name.
The house Of .JonN Power was the Minister'S
home, than which class no guests were more well
come. Possessed of noble and generous spirit, he
was ever beloved and respected by all who knew
him. Perfectly resigned to the will Of God, he
waited patiently to bc summoned away from earth.
He ever had his armor bright, and his lamp trimmed
and burning-ready a, any moment to depart and
be with Jesus. Often has the writer heard him say
that on closing his eyes at night, it mattered not
with him in which world he awoke.
In the struggle with the last enemy, he came off
more than conqucror-died in the full triunphs of
faith, and has now gone to receive his reward from
the Kings Of Kings and Lord Of Lords. May we
follow him as he followed Christ, and may our last
eud be like his.
MARY FERRELL was born in March, l774-
was married to John Power, Sen., in l793 and died
the 27th Of March, lS55-just two weeks after the
decease Of her husband. They lived together sixty
two years.
She, too, joined the Church in 1913, and in dis
charging oil the duties that devolved upon her as
Christian, wife and mother, she displayed that meek
ness, kindness and genteu, Of spirit, of which re-
ligivn is the only true source.
She had been, for many years previous to her
death. ripe for etcrnty-leady to 60 whenever it
should please God to say, :" 1t is enough, come up
higher" Just before her sainted spirit took its
everlasting fight, she asked il size felt that she
was going safe2 She replied, Eyes! yes yes"
Then requesting her only sou to meet her in Iiea-
ven, her bark was launched calmly and gently on
the ocean Of eternity, and with the Cross OF Christ
for an anchor she enabled to enrobe herself in
the mantle Of triumph, aud wing her way to the
haven Of eternal reposc.
May we make an unbroken family in the kingdom
of Heaven.
