ObifuarY.

A great man has fallen in our midst,
after protracted illness, which he bore
with resignation and Christian fortitude
The demise of DR. j. J. G. Bias, who
expired on Saturday, June 80, at 12 M,
has made void in our midst, not to be
replaced. In his death, the community has
lost one of its most active members and
brightest ornaments. He was identified
(while able) with all the movements for the
elevation and Improvement of his people
Like many of us, he was deprived in early
life of the advantages of education, but
since he obtained manhood, by patience
perseverance, and study, he acquired a
great deal of useful knowledge, which
qualified him to participate in almost every
subject that presented itself to the consid-
Grafton of our people. In him the fugitive
slave law has lost valued and benevo-
lent friend. Hundreds in Canada could
attest the fact if necessary, who, doubtless,
will mourn his decease. 1t was my privi-
lege to know from experience (having been
daily visitor at his house for years. that
that his door was always open, and his bed
freely given up for their accommodation,
without money and without price. Cour-
age and bravery were his characteristics.
Frequently has he gone to hotels, on board
of vessels and steamboats,, and taken there
from men, women, and children, who were
slaves, placed them safely on the under
ground railroad, and consigned them to a
land of freedom, where, doubtless, many
are today enjoying liberty in its purity,
with none to modest OF make them afraid"
He was a kind-hearted and benevolent
man, who loved his friends, and was recip-
rocated on their part. Doubtless he has
gone from labor to reward, to those blissful
realms of Immortality, where sorrow and
signing are not known, and where all tears
will be wiped away from his eyes.

A New Lecturer i'm the Field.

We had the pleasure of listening to a
lecture by the Rev. E. J. Adams, on Tues
day evening, in the Sloan Church, Brook
lyn, OH "The Native and the Anglo-Afri-
can--his Civilization, Education, and Chris
tianity" The audience, though not large,
was nevertheless intelligent, and fully ap-
preciated the able and instructive lecture
of Mr.. Adams His theme was one that
requires to be thoroughly understood by
our people, and cannot be too frequently
or too clearly brought before us. Hence
we heartily wish Mr.. Adams entire success
in his new field. 1t was we'll calculated
to elicit the attention it received from the
audience. AS lecturer, Mr.. Adams has
every qualification necessary for success
A clear thinker, forcible writer, and a
fluent speaker, added to an untiring love
for research, what is there to check his
progress to the highest round of the lee
turer's ladder and prevent him from ac-
complishing great good among us?
No department among US, at present, SO
much needs laborers faithful labor
ers-men thoroughly posted and fully up
to to-day We again wish Mr. Adams
success, and hope he may yet be joined by
others equally competent; and we bespeak
for him wherever he goes cheerful hear
ing and the fullest encouragement.

Is mongrel color 1t is neither primary,
simple, nor homogeneous, but like the white
race, is composed of other primary colors-
in physics, of red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, and violet; in the human skin, of red +,
yellow, brown, and black (which, by the
way, is not color, but color-less.) Such
being the truth, we marvel that such dis
tinguished men as Victor Hugo and Will
liam Goodell bow their knee to the white
Baal.
This they do. Victor HugO, author of
"The Hunchback," and of certain Anti
Slavery letters whose galvanic style have
won for him an Anti-Slavery reputation of
more glitter than gold-Victor Hugo COM
placently informs the benighted HaytienS
that sin the sight Of God, all souls are
uhite :" which is reducing the Almighty
to the level of the directors of the Sixth
avenue railroad preferring white before
colored, the mixed before the pure-say-
ing that "c0Lored persons are aAoaoed" l'e
HIS bosom, the bosom of God. But
they must seem to be white to Him
While the idea that color could affect
the Supreme Being is supremely ridiculous,
yet admitting it for moment, black,
which drinks in all His light, should be
dearer to Him than white, which rejects all
His light There is more light in the bo-
dy of the negro than in the body of the
white man.
WIHianS GO0dett, who is all logic, sui
cidally admits to the columns of the ''Prin-
cipia" an essay on "The White Embryo
Caste of Slaves" with the view, if itmeans
anything, that it is something more dread
full, heinous, and sinful--a particularly
damnable feature Of slavery, that it is about
to, or has, reduced men and women almost
or altogether achlte into chattel slavery.
We ask brother Goodell, in the name of
reason, of conscience, of Justice, and OF
God, who is "no respector of persons" how
can he pander to the idolatrous barbarism
Of American caste by printing such essays
in newspaper bearing the name of "Prin-
cipia2o 1t is about as reasonable an act as
if Newton had admitted into his "Princi-
pia," as a piece of scientific information, the
old myth that the earth Was d plane and
rested on turtles back, &c.

abbeys and eathedrals, because they were
the home of Roman idolatry, then or may
three hundred years after, the celebrators
of the cotton clasts may, with reason, reject
from their festive folds, the upholders OF
American slavery-not till then.
We doubt, nay, we deny the right Of
sinful human men to exclude their fellow
humans from feast or celebration of any
description. Let the light shine, and the
good things be free to all. Who can tell
what stray crumb, falling from the masters
table, may afford nourishment, and light,
and life, and even salvation to one poor
sinner, over whose safety, the angels would
rejoice.

reafh Yet, as it has been recently an
nocnced that Count Gurowski, now of this
city, is writing history of slavery, we
suppose his work will contain the gist of
both treatises on this absorbing topic.
By the way, do we not need great
Anti.Slayery library-a library which shall
contain all that has ever been written upon
slavery2 Our esteemed friend, Lewis
Tappan, Esq, has the best nucleus ex-
tant for such a collection of books. Will
he not complete the debt which the past
and the future owe him by organizing such
a library2

PHILADELPHIA, July 9, 1860.
Mr.. EDToR;-The Eighty Fourth Ami
versary of the Declaration of American In
dependence was celebrated in becoming
manner, at the Philadelphia Institute, on
the 4th inst, at half past three o'clock,
p. M, under the auspices OF the Banneker
Institute. The President, Mr. j. Wesley
Simpson, being absent from the city, Mr.
Parker L. Smith, the Vice. President, called
the meeting to order, and after few intro
ductory remarks, in witch he referred to
the colored patriots of the revolution, to
the declaration of independence, and to the
policy of the United States Government,
he introduced Mr.. Octavius V. Cato, who,
with voice and manner corresponding, read
in beautiful style, the ever memorable
declaration of independence. This being
finished, the chairman said: "In 1916,
when this instrument came up for adoption
before the convention, there were speeches
made in favor of its adoption, and among
them was one by John Adams, in which
the following sentence occurs: publish it
from the pulpit, religion will approve it,
and to show that they were sincere in their
pretensions, they appealed to the God Of
heaven for the rectitude of their intentions
| now take pleasure in introducing to you
ladies and gentlemen, the Rev. Jonathan
G. Gibbs, who will deliver the oration."
Mr.. Gibbs stepped forward, and poured
into the ears of his delighted auditors, the
essence of true eloquence, doubly enhanc'
ing by being truthful and striking. he
looked upon the occasion as most fitting
one for the. masses of our people to assemble
and enter their protest against the strange
anomalous position which we occupy
this country. He was not there to dellF"
an oration merely to charm the ear, but !"
enter protest against the wrongs Wni''
we suffer in this country, beneath the wing
of the American eagle. He dePlorea 'hS'

The LATE DR.. j j. G. BIAs.--The fllne-
raj of the lamented DR. Bias took place on
Thursday, the 9Th inst, in Philadelphia,
and was attended by a host Of his personal
friends. The exercises were heldin Beth
el Church, which was crowded to its ut
most capacity. Revs. j. 2. Campbell, j.
Woodlin, and other ministers of the A. M.
E. Church took part in the ceremonies.
He was inferred in the Lebanon Cemetery.
The death of this eminently useful man
has deprived the colored community of

Zion Connection in Williamsburg

DEAR ANGLo:-We should feel that we
have done great injustice to large por-

such persons may know how we get along
in Williamsburg. Yesterday was our

time it was. The church was densely
crowded by white and colored during the
day Present were the Rt. Rev ex-Bishop
G. Rush, Rev. j. Tappan, Rev. I'll. Mat
thews, Rev. brother Jones and others. At
A. VI our love feast was fore-taste Of
the visitation of the Holy Spirit, prepara-
tory to the Sacrament of the Lords Sup
per, which was administered and consecrated
by the Rev. brother Tappan and others.
Several attached themselves to the church
during the day. After evening services.
the baptism was most solemly performed
by the pastor in charge, Rev. Moses Man
ming, of Boston, who admonished the
brethren with words suitable to the occa-
sion:
Lord, how secure and blest are they
Who feel the joys Of pardoned SIM
Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea,
Their minds have heaven and peace within.
