OUR NEWARK LETTER.

NEWARK, N j., July 26, 1859
Mr.. EDIToR:-If there could have been
public meeting held in Newark prior to
your having sent out your agent, that the
claims of the Anglo African" could have
been laid before the people, my opinion is,
that you would have had a much larger
number of subscribers; but, as it is, it has
a good commencement, which l hope will
continue. 1t will be lasting disgrace on
the New Workers, and the people of the
surrounding cities and towns, to allow the
"Anglo African" to die OUT for want of
support. In and about New York we
number between fifty and sixty thousand,
and one-third of these have a common
school education, and a majority of this
number might be convinced of the utility
of Subcribing for the paper, provided you
had agents employed for that business.
But to incur such an expense is out of the
question. Now, if our preachers, teachers,
and public speakers, will but make this a
common cause, you can be sustained.
Would it not be favorable time on the
1st of August, when SO many of our peo-
pie will be assembled together to celebrate
the anniversary of the emancipation of
the British West India Islands, for them
to lay the claims of the paper before the
people, and to enjoin on them the necesssi-
ty of supporting our own literature
Such an act would be commendable in any
of our speakers
The Anniversary of the Emancipation
of the slaves of the British West Indies
is to be celebrated at Newark. The Sab
bath School attached to the Plain street
Presbyterian Church is to hold " picnic
in the Roseville woods during the day, and
at evening, at the above-named church,
several speakers are expected to address
the people. Among those spoken OF are
the Rev. Henry NJ. Wilson, of New York,
Professor VIM. j. Wilson, of Brooklyn,
and J. Murray Wells, Esq, Of Elizabeth
City, N. j. After the exercises festival
will be held in the schoolroom OF the
church. 1t is the intention $50 says re-

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA, July %, 1876!

PHILADELPHIA, July %, 1853.
Mr. EDIToR:-We are in the midst of a
| considerable excitement at this time, grow
| ing out of determination on the part of
the President and Directors of the Coates
and Green streets city railroad, to run their
cars on the Sabbath. Cars have been run
ming on this road for several months, and
all that time have observed the Sabbath,
until the 10th inst, when they ceased to
observe it as day of rest. The police
were on the ground at the starting place
and arrested the agents of the company,
which, of course, stopped the cars for that
day. This was the commencement of the
difficulties, and the arrests were made in
compliance with instructions from Mayor
Henry There is law upon the statute
books of Pennsylvania, forbidding, under
fines and penalties, the pursuit of secular
employments on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, but in many
cases it is not enforced, for there are seve-
raj trains of cars running directly through
the city carrying passengers, and no notice
is taken of them by the city officials.
Steamboats, are constantly running to and
from the city, in some cases crowded with
persons going to and returning from sum-
mer resorts, and this breach of the Sunday
law is winked at If the Sabbath is a di-
vine institution, it is as sacred on the Del
aware and Schuylkill as in the thronged
streets of the city. During the week in
tervening between the 10th and the 18th
inst, as well as since that time, the city
newspapers have been filled with commu-
nications, some for and others against run
ming the cars On Sunday. On the 10th,
Mayor Henry sent a communication to the
President and Directors of the Green and

FIRST OF AUGUST CELEBRATION.

The approaching Anniversary of Brit
ish Emancipation in the West India Is
lands will be celebrated in several sections
of our country, upon quite an extensive
scale. In Geneva, Western New York,
Frederick Douglass, Esq, and Rev. G. B.
Cheever, d. d., are the orators. The day
will be ushered in by the firing of cannon
and ringing of bells, and terminate by an
excursion upon the beautiful Seneca Lake.
The friends of freedom in Eastern New York
will celebrate this event at the beautiful
village of Poughkeepsie. VIM. J. Wat
kins, of the city of Rochester, is the orator.
Extensive preparations are making along
the valley of the Hudson for a general
rally of the people. Steamboats, have
been chartered, and very large delegations
may be expected from different localities
of this section of the State
The sons of the keystone State are to
assemble at Harrisburgh, for the purpose
of commemorating this great event Rev.
HI. H. Garnet is to be the orator, and a
general turnout is looked for along the
banks of the Susquehannah and vicinity.
The New England States hold Con-
vention in Boston for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means to effect unity of
action in relation to political matters. A
strong delegation from each State will be
present, and we anticipate voice from
the Old Commonwealth that shall speak in
tones of thunder to the apathy and indif-
ference that is manifested by our people in
the Middle States, on the great question
of our rights. Delegations will be present
from New York, Pennsylvania, and per-
haps other States, which will make it an
event of more than usual interest.
What should render the anniversary
one of peculiar interest is that it is SO near
the centennial anniversary of the birth of
that noted philanthropist, Wilberforce,
which occurs on the oath of August, 1859.
Let us not forget the day which gave to
mankind and humanity so illustrious
character-one who never faltered in the
cause of the oppressed, but continued to
fight the good fight of liberty till it finally
triumphed. Our next will contain reports
from these different gatherings, which can
not fail to interest our readers.
The weekly Anglo-African., 1859-07-30

faithful to his Lord and Savior-to his
brethren, kind and teachable and as a
man, he was ever temperate, industrious,
and obedient to the rule, Whatsoever We
would that men should do to you, do We
even so to them" He always appeared
to enjoy religion, and had no doubt but
that he should be happy after death. But
the loss of his wife and children often sad
dened his heart, and the unkind treatment
his race had received from the whites en-
bittered his life with fear, lest by force or
fraud he should again be reduced to slave
ry. This fear at last brought him to a
premature grave. Having secured, by
his industry, small sum Of money, he
went North to purchase some land. Dur
ing this journey, he was afraid to trust
himself at night in any white mans house.
He slept with no bed but the cold earth,
and no covering but the sky, thus contract
ing cold, which terminated in consump-
ton. In his long illness he was patient,
looking to Jesus as the Author and Fin
isher of his faith, and welcomed the grave
as the place where the wicked cease from
troubling, and the weary are at rest"
Uncle Fountains bones have long rested
in the lonely grave. Perhaps no tear has
ever moistened the spot where he lies, and
his name is forgotten but he lives in my
heart, and | expect to meet him at last be-
fore the throne of God, with his spirit spot
less and pure Christian Press.

Mr. EDIToR:-It is now some mortho
