mis-representsd in Great Britain by the agents of
the african Civilization Society" to the great
detriment of our prospective elevation and dis
reimbursement and to a diversion Of the Christian
public sentiment of England which has heretofore
sought the lettering of our condition in this coun
try, our home: and
Whereas, AT meeting in Manchester in behalf
of this (''Ciyilization" movement, the support of
the Abolitionists and free people Of color in the
United States was (presumptuously) declared to
be obtained and
Whereas, Harriet Martineau has recently been
making inquiries of prominent radical anti -sIay-
cry friends whether this may be taken as II gem
une movement Of your (their) fellow citizens of
color !" therefore
Resoloed, That the Colored Young Mems So
cietytof Boston unqualiiiedy denounee any sys-
tematizsd scheme to colonize the free colored peo
pie of the United States and that any individual
or set of individuals seeking to resnscitate under
whatever garb the inhuman and much to-be- de-
spised principles and designs Of the colonization
lists, deserve aprompt and emphatic rebuke from
every colored community.
ReSOlprd That we take this occasion to reiter-
ate our hostility to the old Colonization Society,"
and that we are daily becoming more thoroughly
convinced that it is an insinuating deadly enemy
to the free colored people in America, and finds
its chief support among avowed nro-slavery, ne
graduating individuals, whose anxiety to rid the
country of the free colored population is only
equaled by the consequent desire Of making the
slave more contented with his condition
Res0lvsd, That the civilization of America de
mands our attention to the preference of that of
Africa, and that people now being expatriated
by Bates Republicans and Colonizationists, are in
no mood to join with our prosecutors in saying
that the United States is place for the colored
man, and that outside of Africa he is Magnolia
out of its place"
Rsolred, That African Civilization and Colonial
ton Societies meet with no favor from is, rs We
are of opinion that they are practically one and
the same, tending to the same end and that such
societies differed by colored men are doubly
dangerous, and therefore require double condem-

the principles of the society, and that his
reliance was in the constitution of the So

Mr.. ED1roR:-The African Civilization
Society is creating considerable excitement;
it is being talked about by our best men;
it is in the mouths Of the masses. Some
say, let the foul thing fade out of exist
ence, without tanning it into temporary i'm
portance by giving it the satisfaction of be-
ing opposed, seeing that it is starved and is
starving out its supporters; but I differ
with such, for knoao that it is bread and
butter to some Of the parties. / affirm that
inasmuch as the philanthropy Of Europe
may be imposed upon, (the effort having
been put FORTH and as the warfare may
serve as an offset to the colonization efforts
Of prominent controlling Republicans, as
such, inasmuch as it will tend to fix fact
deeper, fuller, and more immovably in the
American mind-the fact that we as class
will not be persuaded nor INCREASINGLY
forced from our homes here in these Unit
ed States-it is well to be engaged in an
effort, with these views, to crush out this
hydra-headed monster-not cherishng per
sonal ill-will in 50 doing, being anxious TO
encounter in gentlemanly, open, aud
courteous manner even those who NAV oc-
cupy suspicious positions, SO long as it can
be done consistently, and so long as neces-
sity shall not compel you to throttle them
in selfdefence.
Among the most dangerous things that
a person can encounter is deceptive thing,
more particularly when its agents are plau-
sible, moving under the guise Of philanthro-
Ply and Christianity, and count upon an ac-
quired popularity, Regarding this as true
in its application to the African Civiliza-
ton Society, feel the difficulty we are
inviting in encountering the same. | am
further aware of another dificulty-the H.
ability to the charge of being PERSONAL

'Suffer little children to come unto me, an
orbd them not !. for of such is the kingdom
leayen"
They are going going
Jesus called them long ago
All the wintry time they're passing
Softly as the falling snow.
When the violets in the spring time
Catch the azure of the sky
They are carried out to slumber,
Sweetly where the violets lie.
They are going only going
When with summer earth is dressed,
In their cold hands holding roses
Folded to each silent breast
When the autumn hangs red banners
Ont above the harvest sheayes
They are going-ever going
Thick and fast, like falling leaves
All along the mighty ages,
All adown the solemn time,
They have taken up their homeward
March TO that serener cline.
Where the watching, waiting angels
Lead them from the shadow dim,
To the brightness of his presence
Who has called them unto him.
They are going--ony going
Out of pain and into bliss
Out of sad and sinful weakness
Into perfect holiness.
Snowy brows-no care shall shade them
Bright eyes-tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips mo time shall fade them;
Jesus called them unto him.
Little hearts forever stainless
Little hands as pure AS they
Little feet by angels guided
Never forbidden way!
They are going ever going
Leaving many lonely spot;
But It's Jesus who has called them
Suffer and forbid them not.

RE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM
GOD"

Why Do the great, the good the just,
Expire in pain, and sleep in duet,
And virtue sink in gloom
Why does the sage, the patriot why,
Like the vile wretch, in anguish die,
And find as dark tomb?
And why most merit fall at last
Before the baleful, whitening blast,
Which malice Kisses round?
And why pale envy's shrivel!ed form,
Rejoicing in the adverse storm,
Which thunders greatness down?
Why, tell me, Reason does the God,
Who rules all nature with rod
And in perfection rules
With darkness veil the face Of day,
Ride the mad storm, and laundering cay
Let wild destruction roll +?
Let forked lightning flash in death,
Dissolve We nations at my breath,
Volcanoes vomit wide;
Earth, grooming through her marble womb.
Expand her jaws, the hileous tomb,
Of half q nations pride.
Alas ! wild fancy's gloomy song,
Nor all the melancholy throng
Ofnight's dark offspring joined,
Can plant the awful majesty
Ofan offended Deity,
When vengeance fills his mind.

"Poor-poor as poverty; his life was

THE STILL SYMPATHY MEETING.

Mr. EDIroR:-In looking over your last
copy OF the Anglo" ! perceive your cor
respondent Banneker" has made several
mistakes, designedly or otherwise. In
speaking Of a public meeting of sympathy
held in the Israel Church for VIM. Still,
he says that "after reading the resolutions,
much discussion ensued, and all kinds of
frivolous notions were entertained in oppo-
sition to them, and it is with much regret
that record the fact that few individuals
were there to disturb the harmony of the
proceedings" | am one of those that went
to the meeting not to sympathize with
man that vililies a womans character in
her absence, or attempts to stab one in
the dark. was one of the felo, as your
correspondent says, that asked in the onset
of this meeting if it was public meeting,
but the Chairman nor any one else could
inform me, although the call said the
friends of VIM. Still and the public were
invited, have attended as many public
meetings in Philadelphia as your cores
pondent, and | claim that man can at
tend meeting and differ from its object,
without going especially to disturb the
harmony of the meeting
Why did not your correspondent give
you the facts in the case Would you, or
any one else, knowingly sympathize with
any one that had got into trouble by at
tempting to carry out some malicious feel
ings against a woman that it is well known
has been engaged for some time past rails
ing money ON the best of references, to
purchase her freedom, her mothers, her
child's, her sisters and sisters children
No, sir, the facts are these: When Mrs.
K. B. Wells was in Philadelphia last June,
she had difference with this United
States Detective, VIM Still, about colored
shareholders that had been staying at his
anti-slavery boarding house, and Mr.. Still
taking umbrage at some remarks that she
made, and hence the letter to Mrs Cary
that appeared as evidence in the courts,
and Mrs. Cary not wishing to have her in
the way when she was begging money to
sustain her paper, aided in giving publicity
to said letter, thinking they would get her
out Of the way easily. So Mr.. Still has
to thank his friend Mrs. Cary for having
to pay one hundred and fifty dollars and
lay in prison for four days.
But to your correspondent After Civ
ing lot of hearsay, for he left the meet
ing at an early hour, believe, Disguised
with the proceedings, he goes on to say,
"The preamble and resolutions presented
by the committee were adopted" This, |
am prepared TO prove, is a fabrication.
There was only one side of the question
put TO the meeting, and the greatest con-
fusion prevailed at the time "Not ready
for the question" was heard on all sides;
and correspondent of one of our daily
papers was present, and stated the next
morning that only one side of the question
was put. SENIOR.
