this of the Atlantic will shed tears as they
read the sad news, although long antici-
pated. "When great man falls, the
nation mourns," said one, and truly when
philanthropist falls the poor mourn, and
the poorest of all poor, the manacled mil
lions, have lost true friend in the death
Of Theodore Parker. But we are con-
soled with the thought that our loss is his
eternal gain. The Chicago Convention
also was one of Mays gatherings, and
right gladly did the queen of spring well
come the nomination of Lincoln and Ham,
lin. Although many in this region con-
fdently expected Seward as the nominee,
yet all rejoice that two such noble names
are the chosen standard bearers for this
campaign. May truth and justice triumph
in the coming contest.
For the last two weeks l have been itin-
Grating among the green hills of Steuben
county, and although the people are will
ing to hear the truth, yet they are not
willing to take anti-slavery papers and
read them. Addison is pleasant village
situated on the banks of the Canisteo river,
eleven miles from its junction with the
CONNECTION, to form the Chemung. The
inhabitants are mostly engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits and numbering, and in their
anxiety for wealth they have not much
time to think of the poor slave whose cry
for help is waited to us on every southern
breeze But even here there are some
noble hearts whose ears and purses are
ever open to the cause of freedom, and to
them am indebted for very pleasant
sojourn here. One gentleman has promis-
ed to send for the "Anglo-African" maya
zine, and think there are others who will
subscribe. At present the people in this
region are looking anxiously to the result
of the discussion of the slavery question
in the General Conference at Buffalo, and
truly there seems to be an irrepressible
conflict" in that body. May God speed
the right Hoping to be able to obtain a
goodly number of subscriptions in my
tour, remain yours for the abolition of
slavery, LIZZIE.

the compliment, declaring that whilst he
felt hattered with the unmistakable evil
dence of his ability to please, the lateness
of the hour admonished him Of his obliga-
tions to others as well as himself; he there
fore begged to be excused. This announce
ment was but the signal for another out
burst. Were it not for remarkable de-
gree of judgment generally evinced by this
young man, we should verify fear that he
will be spoiled by the extravagant mani
festations of favor with which he is receiv-
ed. We will say to him that, to retain his
laurels, he must improve, in order that he
may present new and original features to
keep pace with progressive age; other
wise his brilliancy must sooner or later be
buried in oblivion.
Mr.. Ambleman, who was to have ad-
dressed the audience, came forward, and in
a voice remarkable for its silvery tone in
formed them that hoarseness, the result of
severe cold, prevented his compliance
with the programme.

The "May Queen Association" of Will

sensation. The President, Mr.. George
Matthews, addressed the audience, and
challenged discussion of the African Civ
ilization question, to which movement he is
opposed. There was no acceptance.

We clip the above from well-conduct-
ed paper edited by colored men, published
in New York, and devoted to the interest
of the colored race. 1t is very discredita-
BILE to those who have taken the paper
thus to neglect payment, but the publish
ers of the 'Anglo-African" and all other
journalists should adopt the cash system
at once. 1t is the only safe and fair one
for all parties. 1t never pays to collect
small sums of subscription scattered over
wide extent of country. The heavy per
centage of loss renders it necessary to
charge high price to those who honestly
ay, and thus the fair-dealing reader pays
for the loss by delinquents. Make the

Mr.. EDIToR:--Why should not the
friends of truth, freedom, and progress
make this day day of thrilling interest
this year2 I write this humble paragraph
at this time in the hope that it may, thro'
the columns of the "Anglo," meet the eyes
of many in all parts of the land, and "stir
up their pure minds" to commence noao,
and make all necessary arrangements for
the celebration of the day in such man
ner as shall promote most efectually the
colored mans advancement and elevation.
Come, friends, up and De doing. Let the
champions of equal suffrage in the Empire
State do much on that day. Let New
Jersey speak. Let Connecticut be heard.
Let little Rhode Island meet and advance
her school interests. Prepare for this,
friends; secure your speakers, and look af-
ter your publications to distribute on that
day among the gathered thousands. Let
our poets, fresh from the heights of Par
nassus and exhilerated by the waters of
Castalia, flash their inspirations upon the
hearts of the people. Let the sons of free
dom and the daughters of virtue gather
fresh strength and courage as the histori-
cal scenes of that day shall blaze up around
them beneath the magic touch of the ora
tors voice. Let the tongue of eloquence
and the song of freedom inspirit and ener-
gize all the friends of humanity on that
glorious day. LIBERrAs.

PITTsFIYLD, Mass, June 4, 1860.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I have been thinking it
would be no more than proper to drop you
a few lines from Western Massachusetts.
This is one Of the loveliest spots in the
State. The scenery is grand, the place
being surrounded by mountains, and locat-
ed in the midst of hills and wales. The
climate is healthy, and the longevity of the
people is, think, remarkable. We have
hale and hearty men and women far ad-
vanced in years attended the funeral,
few years since, of an old colored lady,
whose reputed age was one hundred and
twenty-five. Her daughter, who is now
living, is upwards of ninety years old.
Some time later, attended the funeral of
an old man who was one hundred years of
age. He belonged to the old Livingston
family, and had ran away and come to this
place when it was but very sparcely set
tied. Here he lived in the family Of the
first minister who settled here.
1t is Onl y some one hundred and twelve
years since the first white man entered
this place; he came from Connecticut.
Then it was an unbroken forest, which
was the home of the red man, but from
which he was driven by the cruelty of the
whites, who know full well how to prac-
tice the same towards the colored man.
But think it may be said, and that truly,
that we are invincible. The white mans
process of destroying us does not work as
successfully as it did in the case of the red
man. We live under oppression, and are
increasing, because God is on our side.
But, Mr.. Editor, we have here some no.
bic anti-slavery men; they are few, but
they are true to the cause of human free
dom in this land They have borne the
burden and heat of the day, and have
bravely breasted the storm. These mer
have been harnessed to the anti-slavery
car, and they will pull until victory shall
crown their efforts. BERKSHIRE.

We regard him as no inconsiderable orator.
AS some of our readers at least are aware,
he filed fremont Temple for period of
six months previous to his being called to
the pastorate above named. His church
edifce is quite inadequate to accommodate
the number who resort there regularly, and
many are turned away who would gladly
hear him. His society by great effort has
fairly got clear of debt, but are unable to
effect an enlargement of the building,
which is very much desired. Mr.. Martin
himself is opposed to the ordinary method
by begging, and therefore the improve
ments have not been made But portion
who go to the services are enabled to get
inside the church. Here is an opportunity
for the liberal, Christian people of Boston
to do good and necessary work, and
right in their very midst-at their very
doors. The sum required is but small 1t
is desired to make accom- odations for
about eight hundred, which can be effected,
as before stated, at a comparatively small
outlay. That it should be done is not a
matter Of doubt any more than what is
the duty of our citizens in the premises.
We believe the subject has but to be
known to our citizens to have the aid
cheerfully forthcoming and it is for this
reason that we have deemed it proper and
fit to introduce the matter to our readers.
Mr.. Martin is a valuable member of our
community, and he has it in his power to
accomplish great good. Only give him
the means, and he will do the work.

literary and musical, were creditably per-
formed by Messrs. Gambler, (the Presi-

casion was crowned with the assistance of
Miss Ophelia Powers, Cher first appear
ance,) Misses Blake, Martin, and Ramsay.
The debut of Miss Powers was as satisfac-
tory to the audience as it must have been
Aattering to herself. We hope she will
not grow vain Of her success, and become
unmindful of the cultivation of her voice,
in which the most obtuse observer cannot
fail to discover an unusual degree of ex-
cellency. Misses Blake, Martin, and RAM
say sustained their parts with honor to
themselves and credit to the association.
We have no word but of commentator
except in one instance: that was the reel
tation of dialogue which had not been
committed to memory. We are informed
that the intended performers in this piece
were absent. If this was the case the per-
Torrance should have been set aside, for to
read dialogue through at sight to the ac-
ceptance of an audience is impossible.
Master Powers was again the lion of the
evening. In his second defamation, al
though late in the evening, the audience
lost sight entirely of the hour, and called
loudly for its repetition. Master Powers
