EMANCIPATION IN ST. LOUIS.
Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune.


1t may not be matter of Indifference to the
readers Of TIE TRIBUNE to know somewhat of
the progress that is making in this great city
toward disenthralling itself from the shackles of
that peculiar INSTITUTE IN which in times past has
been it's pride and glory
Be it known to them that we, too, have cele-
brated an the 1st Of August 1859, the anniversary
Of the Emancipation in the British Dominions.
Mr. Philip P. Carpenter, brother Of DIR. Car
penter, the celebrated Psychologist, aud the gentle
man who recently donated collection OF SIX
thousand shells to the State of New-YOrk, aud who
is now visiting friends in the West announced to
the public, through The Democrat and other papers
on Saturday morning, that he would lecture, by
consent of the Mayor on the subject OF the British
Emancipation
On Sunday morning the following appeared in
The 81. Ions Republican:
"ABoLITIosIsN-In Tie Missouri Democrat of
yesterday morning eighth column, second page ap-
peas the following advertisement:
"'NExT MONDAY EVENING, Aug ], being the
ante,sa,y Of Transportation in tte B'1s Do"',n,on, an a.
Mayor by Philip p Carpenter in the Museum Hal males.'

"The anniversary referred to lie one, of late years
faithfully observed in those portions OF the Northern
States where Aboitionsm is most rampant and wears
It's most az gressiye aspect. AT such festivals 1t s Gus
tomary 10 have an adnixture Of black and white ora
tors The advertisement lie silent upon this subject
nor does il state the meeting TO be tor whites
blacks, If. indeed, both are not invited ana e1
pected The name Of Philip p. Carpenter does not
occur in KeInedys excellent directory, and from the
circumstances that there is no handle 70 his nsme and
that the meeting is with permission OF the Mayer, 1t
is fair supposiOn that the meeting Is 10 be Tor Disck
or for blacks and whites.
"Tbe tenor of the speech 10 be delivered must be
very different from that usual at such assemoages else
where held or the orator will find TO his cost that the
permission of Mayor Filley viii not exempt him from
the penalties Of sec. TO- art. Of the statute concern
ing crimes and punishments. See Revised Statute' p
But are not such celebrations very improper in this
city Can they possibly be productive of good
Win they not certainly be furious IL Is 10 be hoped
that Mayor Filley, reconsioerng his permisson-oo-
tanned, perhaps by misrepresentation withdraw
it and event the meeting. CONSERVATIVE.
On Monday morning Mr.. Carpenter received
the following business-bke note through the Post
Office:
"Mr L. CARPENTER: A Committee of fifty stsunch
men, of which have been elected Foreman, has been
appointed for the purpose Of tarrng and featheDg aud
roiIg YOU on rail- should you dare attempt the lee
ture TO morrow hight, as edver lsed.
PRII p CARPENTER, Abolition niger thieving Lecturer
Mr.. C.. decided to dare. and at the appointed
hour went to the hall and found that the house he
had hired was locked against him. Mr.. +. Wy
man, through his agent refused to give entrance to
the few assembled, lest a mob should tumble down
its walls or break its windows.
Mr.. G. took his position as near the door as pos
sible. read his correspondence with Major Filley,
his letter from the gentlemaply foreman" of the
"staunch committee Of fifty" and with the lecture
in hs hand offered To read il if the gentlemen and
ladies' present desired. Nearly an hour passed. IN
which he and others made remarks freely on this
display of tyrannicsl spirit; but not one OF the
"siauDch committee appeared; the fumes of the
tar bucket did rot offend our nostrls; and neither
the ripping open of pillows, the Kissing of geese
was heard.
The passage WAS small with no seats. The
friends of Emancipation retired, leaving the boys
in their glory.
But must not forget the beginning of the cele-
bration of this day.
According TO the notice given in the following
advertisement,
