To the Editor qf tie National Era:
The colored people of Harrison, Jefferson,
and Belmont counties held a celebration at
Harrisvile ON the LIST inst. There was large
number in attendance, both of colored and
white. They formed procession at half past
ten o'clock, and marched TO grove at the
north of the town, where d. S. Bruce, President
of the day, made an excellent speech on the
history of the colored race. He took historic
review of Slavery from the earliest time to the
present, the abolition of the slave trade, and
the abolition of Slavery in the West Ipdss.
He noticed the commerce before and after that
event, and the internal Improvement education,
and the social condition of the people. After
dinner, j. d. Gurley was introduced; he con-
tinued the same subject in an able manner, re-
futing many false assertions in reference to the
colored people. The next speaker was Charles
Ferrel. He reviewed the religious position as
sumed by the people in this country in refer
ence to Slavery. This speech was listened to
with attention and interest. After which,
Messrs. D. 8. Bruce, j. Manley, II. MCGEE, j.
l.. Rivers, and M. M. Smith, were elected dele
gates to attend the State Convention to meet
at Toledo or Sandusky this fall; after which,
the assembled multitude repaired to their
homes. The celebration yaa one which re-
Hected great credit upon the character Of the
colored people, for the arrangement, speaking,
and order preserved. 1t will awaken spirit
Of activity among the rising generation.

Austria.-It was reported at Vienna thai
Baron Bach had rendered his resignation, and
that the Emperor had refused to accept it.
A Ministerial crisis was said to be imminent
owing to conflict of opinions ON the question

A denial is given to statement in the Nord
of a pretended interview between the Emperor
of Austria and the King of Sardinia at Villa

commerce and navigation on account of the
war. The Introduction to export horses and
mules is, however, maintained.
The Presidency Of the Rpe.-A letter from
Rome, in the Gazette da Md, says
"The following, it is positively stated, is the
reply of the Pope to the propositions of the
French Government, relative to the Italian
Confederation. AS regards the title of honor
airy President of the Italian Confederation, the
Holy Father, while admitting it in principle,
replies by asking the question, What is the
Presidency? If it is administrative or polit-
| ical? President of what? Where is the
Confederation? If it is to be composed oil
the different Kingdoms of Italy, it cannot yet
exist, since most of the thrones are vacant
The sovereigns ought first of all to be placed in
possession of their States. As to the Code Ma
poleon, his Holiness has answered that Rome
possesses more perfect one; and that, be-
sides, that code cannot be applied in the States
of the Church, because it contains enactments,
such as those about civil marriage, &c., which
are contrary to the principles of the Apostolic
See. As to the Consulta, which is already es-
tablished, no doubt, says his Holiness, this
| institution is designed to do great good, be.
cause here, as elsewhere, great reforms are ne
cessary; but reserve to myself the time and
occasion of accomplishing Them Lastly, as
regards the Legation the Holy Father thinks
that before the question is discussed, he ought
to be placed in possession of that part of his
States"

Col. 10. G.. PIcKErr.-The speech OF thfs
gentleman, delivered la tue House OF Repre-
sentative, yesterday, on the subject of the
Harper's Ferry Resolutions, Was the most
flashed, elaborate, brilliant, aud logical
effort of the season. IL was devoted To a
history of tue slavery sgitations Ia the United
States, tracing them from the adoption OF the
Ordinance of 1857, down TO the pres .nt aud
exposing the causes ia which they had their
origin, aad for what purposes they we're
propagated. His logical array Of tue facts
which came within the sweep OF his subject,
and The disposition OF those facts iaIo
column OF unbendins argument, were eVen
superior to the sparkling periods in which
they were delivered. A lofty patriotism, a
devotion to the Institutions OF the Soath,
aud to The integrity, the continuance, and
the glory OF the Union pervaded every
thought and sentiment he uttered. With all
who heard Ii, il will stand an enduring mon
ument TO the eloqueaee aud patriotism OF the
gifted speaker. He seemed inspired by the
momenIous Issues that have risea aud are
yet to rise out Of his theme, and did them
aud himself full justice.
