Awake! Arouse! FrCcmen.

ONLY TWO WEEKS FROM NEXT Tues
DAY, is TO be fought in Pennsylvania
the most important cOntcstof the day.
The election Of a GOVERNOR will al
most surely determine that Of PREsI-
DENT with all the policy TO follow.
One united party is in favor Of Pro
lection 10 American Labor and against
the Extension OF the curse Of Human
Bondage. The other is the divided
party, both wings Of which endorse
the Cincinnati Platform Of "pRoGREs-
sIvE FREE TRADE throughout the
World" and are willing if no. anx-
ious that Slavery should extend every
where.
The vote of Pennsylvania at the
State Election, quite generally de
cides the Presidential. In 1910,
Wing Congressional majority gave
the State to HARRISON. The election
of SKUNK by j few thousands, in lS4l,
gave the State to POLK by an iucreas-
cd maj. \ maj. Of 293 for JOHNSON
in Oct. lS4S, gave TAYLOR $4,000 in
Nov. following. \ few hundreds Of
proved illegal votes in 1886, defeated
the Union State Ticket and foreshad-
owed the triumph Of BUCHANAN.
In 1860, we find candidate for
Governor, Col. CURTIN, standing up
on the Chicago Platform, manfully
contending for LINCOLN, Protection,
and No more Slave Territory. BY
his side stands a party which has at
all times proved itself IN FAVOR Of
those principles.-Opposcd to him Is
Mr.. FOSTER, who endorses BUCHAN-
ANS Administration-who will not
confess whether he is for DOUGLAS or
BRECKENRIDGE for Prc3idcnt-and
supports the Free Trade Cincinnati
Platform and its o-Slavery ayowals
and permissions. By his side stand
the Free Trade leaders, the Pro -Sla-
very oligarchy, and party which has
ALWAYS VOTED for Free Trade and
Slavery.
The issue is thus clearly made up.
No sensible, intelligent man, need be
again deceived by such false and in
famous cheats as Polk and the Tariff
Of 42"-"The whole Of Oregon or
none'-"Buchanan and Free Kansas" "
CURTIN is, always has been on one
side-the Freedom, Protection party.
Foster is, always, for the other
the Slavery and Free Trade party.
CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM.-And re-
member that the choice of Governor
will exercise wide influence, in our
own State and throughout the Free
States. And with cur Governor, vote
for ALL the candidates Of his party.
NOW FOR WORK.-The time is
short. Let every friend of Freedom
and Protection prepare to vote next
9th October. See that all the ortho-
doX are assessed. Scatter documents
and information. Talk with your
neighbors. Get up evening meetings
in the school-houscs. Make arrange
ments 70 get out every vote in your
district. And remember that ONE
VOTE IN OCTOBER WILL COUNT TWO
VOTES IN NOVEMBER.

The "Texas Negro Insurrection" it is
conceded was pretty much false alarm
perhaps plot coucocred by rascally whites
for political effect at the North. But sew
eral human lives have been lost by the
foul game. 1t will rank in history with
the Witch excitement Of Salem or the
Catholic alarm in New York.

COLORED GRAND LODGE OF MAsONs
FOR THE STATE OF OHIO.

DEAR ANGLo:-The Most Worshipful
Grand Lodge for the State of Ohio, and
the Masonic jurisdiction belonging thereto,
convened in this city on the 18th inst, and
held it's Tenth Annual Communication with
Eureka Lodge No. IA. The jurisdiction
of the Grand Lodge extends over FIVE states,
two free and three slave, viz. Ohio, Illi-
nois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Louisiana,
all of which were represented in this meet
ing of the grand lodge except Louisiana.
The business meetings of the lodge
were held daily during the week till Fri
day, on which day grand street pageant
closed the exercises. Notice had been
given in the morning papers to the effect
that the "Colored Grand Lodge for the
State Of Ohio" would appear on the streets
of Cleveland, in grand procession at eleven
o'clock A. NJ, on that day, land that on
the arrival of the procession at Atheneum
Hall, the brethren of the order and the
public would be addressed by David Jen-
kins, P. G. j. W., G. FL. Langton, g. L.,
and r. III. Gleaver, M. w. G. NJ" These
were sensation items, and of course called
eut large crowds along the line of march.
The procession was not large, but was re-

spectacle in number and imposing in ap-
pearance. The procession paraded many
of our principal streets, and then entered
the hall of the Antheneum, where addresses
were delivered by the above named gen.
tlemen, after which the following officers
elect were regularly installed. r. IL.

In the evening a grand masonic festival
came of at the same hall, in which the
meeting was held in the afternoon. The
festival was truly magnificent affair, and
the good ladies whose arduous labor gave
it existence, and added to it SO many at
tractive and delightful charms, deserve
great credit, and shall ever receive the
thanks of the Cleveland correspondent Of
the "Anglo-African." / entered the hall
at 10 ID o'clock, found it we'll filled with
the gay and lively. A superb string
band discoursed aweet music, and all
seemed "merry as marriage bell" Care
and sorrow were forgotten, and with the
joke, repartie, music, and the dance, the
night was spent, till the gray streak Of
dawn reminded us that we should be

A CHILD'S DREAM OF A STAR.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

There was once child, and he strolled
about good deal, and thought of num-
Der of things. He had sister, who was a
child too, and his constant companion.
These two used to wonder all day long.
They wondered at the beauty of the fow-
ers; they wondered at the height and blue
ness of the sky; they wondered at the
depth of the bright water; they wondered
at the goodness and the power of God, who
made the lovely world.
They used to say to one another some
times, "Supposing all the children on
earth were to die, would the flowers and
the water and the sky be sorry?" They
believed they would be sorry; for, said
they, the buds are the children of the fow-
ers, and the little playful streams that gam
bol down the hillsides are the children of
the water; and the smallest bright specks
playing at hide and seek in the sky all
night must surely be the children of the
stars; and they would all be grieved to
see their playmates, the children of men,
no more.
There was one clear, shining star that
used to come out in the sky before the rest,
near the church-spire, above the graves.
1t was larger and more beautiful, they
thought, than all the others, and every
night they watched for it, standing hand
in hand at the window. Whoever saw it
first cried out, IL see the star p And Of
ten they cried out both together, knowing
so well when it would rise, and where. So
they grew to be such friends with it that
before lying down in their beds they al
ways looked out once again to bid it good
night; and when they were turning round
to sleep they would say, "God bless the
star p
But while she was still very young-oh,
very, very young-the sister dropped, and
came to be so weak that she could no long
er stand in the window and at night;
and then the child looked sadly out by
himself, and when he saw the star turned
round and said to the patient, pale face on
the bed, Il see the star" And then smile
would come upon the face, and little
weak voice used to say, God bless my
brother and the star p
And SO the time came all too soon when
the child looked out alone, and when there
was no face on the bed, and when there
was little grave among the graves not
there before, and when the star made long
rays down toward him as he sawit through
his tears
Now, these rays were SO bright, and
they seemed to make such shining way
from earth to heaven, that when the child
went to his solitary bed he dreamed about
the star; and dreamed that, lying where
he was, he saw train of people taken mp
that sparkling road by angels. And the
star, opening, showed him a great world Of

At meeting of the colored citizens Of
Worcester, held June 25th, 1860, to
express their appreciation of the course
of Honorable Charles Sumner in the
United States Senate, the following resolu
tions were offered by Mr.. VIM. Brown, and
unanimously adopted by the meeting:
Resolved, That the recent speech of the Hon
Charles Sumner, on the bill for the admission of
Kansas as free state, is but another evidence of
his noble principle, which had him to defend the
rights of humanity, for which he has ever labored
and suffered.
Resolved, That we appreciate the more, the
principles he promulgates, for their universalty
for with the same voice, the same hand, he loosens
the shackels of barbarism from the white man, and
tho shaokals of oleverv +hA haak man extend
ing his right hand of brotherly love to the barba
rian and elevating the down-trodden and oppressed
African,
Resolved, That we heartily cooperate with the
colored citizens of Massachusetts in any appropri
ate manifestation they may propose, as an express
sion of our esteem for the Hon. Charles Sumner,
for his unsurpassed defence of the rights of human
ity, delivered in the United States Senate, on the
4th of June, 1860
Resolved, That it is the duty of the colored
citizens of Massachusetts, to subscribe for testi
monial to be presented to the Hon, Charles Sum-
ner, as token of their appreciation of his labors
in behalf of oppressed humanity.
The following resolution were also unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That copy of the above resolutions
be sent to the Hon. Charles Sumner.
Resolved, That the above resolutione be pub
lished in the Worcester Spy and the "Anglo-
African" of New York
The secretary was then instructed to
forward copy of the above resolutions to
the Hon. Charles Sumner, and to ask his
acceptance of them, as token of their ap-
probation of his course in the United
States Senate, and as their esteem of him
as noble champion of freedom and an
able defender of the rights of man.

DEAR ANGLo;-Permit me, through your
columns, to inform my friends in the Dis
trict of Columbia and elsewhere that after
the long g-prayed-for union of our beloved
Zion, which was consummated on the 7th
of June-a day long to be remembered by
those present. was transferred by Supt.
VIM. II. Bishop from the Philadelphia to
to the New York Annual Conference of
the A. M. E. Zion Connexion, and upon
the solicitation of some friends at Fair Ha-
ven l was appointed to take charge of the
church at Fair Haven and this place Ma
cedonia.) Immediately set out for the
former place, and in company with my
hospitable friend, Mr.. Charles Jobes, ar
rived at his beautiful residence on Thurs
day afternoon, the 21st ult.
Fair Haven is situated about 35 miles
from New York, on the Shrewsbury Riv-
er, and two miles from Red Bank. 1t is a
very handsome village, and the people are
comfortably situated. There are two col
ored churches here, and one Whitehall
Methodist. The colored churches are, un-
fortunately, divided into two classes-Zion
and Bethel. We have very good socie-
ty there. The church has been recently
removed and handsomely repaired, and a
basement for school and other purposes
built of brick. All this has been brought
about, as l am informed, by the unceasing
labors of Mr.. G.. J-s.
There is very fine school here, taught
by Miss B, an intelligent young lady

been in this affair deal of trouble to him
and yourself and to many others; but the
storm is now nearl y over; already may be
seen beneath the lowering clouds that are
sweetly letting in the western horizon, the
bright and glorious sun of better day,
looming up from the east, and radiant with
joy and gladness. That will be payday
for us all. / shall not forget you; ahl no,
1 shall remember you; and as the ship
wrecked mariner in after years sits by his
cheering ireside at midwinter, and recounts
to his family the dangers of the sea, of his
own perilous condition, of his clinging to
the broken spars, of the dashing of the
waves over his body, of the knawing Of
hunger, and finally of the kind friend who
risked his life and came to his rescue; SO
will I recount in after years this circum-
stance, and with joy look over my pocket
diary which will then be rewritten in folio
style and taste, and there will | recount
the names of those kind and dear friends,
who have ministered thus kindly to me
and my brave companions.
Present my respects to the committee,
and to inquiring friends generally. The
provisions are good here for prison, and
| have nothing to complain of but loneli-
ness and our being here at all. But God is
just, and his retributive powers will one
day be meted out ON this guilty, hypo-
critical, and ungodly nation.
Egypt, Carthage, Greece, Rome, and
other powers boasting of more strength,
more genius, and more wealth than the
United States, have lived and passed
away, because Of their wicked avarice, and
their encroachment on their fellow-men;
and God has marked out the days of this
wicked government; she cannot pass the
bounds he has set for her. Write to me
again soon. Don't forget to inquire
about the papers the Anglo and Inquirer.
1t is now getting dark, and shall not
commence another sheet of paper. don't
know that you will care to read all this or
not, but it is relief to my poor mind to
write what think, as l cannot see you to
express them verbally.*
l remain yours, with grateful respect,
