Mr.. Douglas Ailments.

Although the Little Giant has gen
e,.lly been regarded as very healthy aud
vigorous individual, i. is remarkable bow

Senator last winter, aud directs attention
to the particular periods Of the aii'ction,
which, it must be acknowledged, furnish
s series of remarkable condolences. We
quote from the Ch'eJ:

Wendell Phillips for Douglas.

This notorious Abolitiouist made a
speech in New York, on Tuesday night,
the 10Th ult., which he characterized as a
"PIea FIR tie Dissolution Of the Taion, -
in which the following passage occurs;
81 would rather see a Democratic Pres

forty years under such a programme as

Let the people now understand where
the "Democraiic party" stands. Why
does Phillips, the rankest AbOlitiopist
and Disunionist in the country, prefer the
election of the Democratic President, if
such thing were not better calculated to
bring about the result be aimed at?

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20, 1860.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Mr. VIM. P. Price lee
tured before the Philadelphia Library
Company, on Tuesday evening last, on
"Sublimity." Mr. Price is one of our
young men who is endeavoring to dissent
nate literature among our people, and to
help forward the work of reform. His
lecture was an excellent production, and
though short, it was directly to the point.
The delivery occupied about twenty min
utes No debate ensued.
noticed few weeks ago, letter from
one of our neighbors across the river, in
your paper, who spoke rather disparagingly
of our debates before the Library Com
pany, and suggested that we start grocery
stores. An idea occurred to me at the
time l read it, that we should not neglect
the culture of our intellect, however much
we might be in pursuit of business and
wealth. l liked his suggestion, but l
thought that more of our people should try
to improve their intellects as well as their
pockets, because we need to be informed
on many points of which we are ignorant,
and if we make no effort ourselves we shall
never obtain the desired object. Since
the appearance of that letter / was put in
possession of pamphlet containing Ar
ticles of Association" Of savings store, to
be conducted on the "Rochdale plan," that
is, number of individuals are to take
shares. The first and second articles read
as follows: Il. This society shall be called
the Philadelphia Savings Society and
shall have for its main object the establish
ment of mutual cash store, for the sale
of family supplies, at fixed rate over
wholesale prices. 2 Any person may be-
come shareholder by paying five dollars
or more into capital of the Association, and
by signing these articles. None but share
holders participate in the dividends of the
store" Any person having shares and
wishing to withdraw from the Association,
can do so by giving two weeks notice, and
they will receive their money with interest
up to the date of notice l learn that stores
conducted on a similar plan, have worked

well in England, and I have no doubt |
something of the kind would work well
here.
l was a little surprised to find card in
the "Weekly Anglo-African," of last week,
over the signature of Mr.. John G. Bowers;
[ should not, however, have felt any sur
prise at seeing card over his signature,
had he explained his reasons for advocat-
ing the side of emigration simply, but he
saws: "'Banneker' should have known
that was merely filling up an unpopular
side of question" Suppose did know
it, was it my duty to say in my report that
Mr.. Bowers was not sincere, but only talk
ing for buncomb 2 If / had done so, he
would have had much better reasons for
coming out in card than he had, for he
acknowledges saying the identical words
which / attributed to him. Had he at any
time during the tendency of the debate
explained his position publicly, l would
have reported it so. l presume the public
are aware that there is a great difference
between persons taking the side of a
question in debate and one who argues
from principle. Mr.. Bowers is well known
in this community as strong opponent Of
emigration and colonization, and he is also
known as working man amongreformers
Finding fault with reporter for recording
what actually occurs at meeting is quite
new to me, entirely so. If debaters dc
not wish to be reported as saying certain
things, they should not say them.
/ am not aware that there are any cpl
denies in the city at present, but there was
an unusually large number of deaths from
consumption and other diseases last week.
The number of deaths reported to the
Board of Health last week was 204, 20 OF
which were colored, 81 from consumption,
and so under one year old. BANNEKER.
The weekly Anglo-African., 1860-02-25

Thirdly, We must demand only and at
all times right and Justice at the hands of
the American people, and never ask favor
and sympathy, nor admit or feel natural
inequalities. Whatever differences exist
are the result of circumstances or of the
exercise of brute force over US.
Fourthly, We must ourselves raise our
industrial position. This is our own work,
and belongs to no other hands. Instead,
therefore of waiting for others to come
over to our assistance, we must make our
own positions, and when SO made vigorous
ly sustain them. Sacrifice anything and
everything that is honorable to this end.
We belong to country where money and
intelligence sway everything else, and if
we would WELD portion of that power, or
even save ourselves from being crushed
beneath it, we too must acquire these aids.
We must get them by every honest means
possible. If we cannot today be the al
derman of the ward, we can own the best
block in the ward; if we cannot today be
the judges and clerks of the county, we
can be the best farmers in the county
if we cannot be the representatives of the
district, we can own the best portion of the
district. We shall be all of these by and
by.
Let our household gods hereafter be
wealth and intelligence, our motto in
dustry, perseverance, and frugality, and
our study by day and by night arith-
metic and its uses. With these, silent,
steady, unwavering, earnest, onward and
upward we must go, and no power on earth
can prevent US. The political hounds who
go yelping about the country, and the
croakerS in the pulpits, should not move
us one inch. They can neither take away
nor give us our status They merely
work for their pay, like any body else,
and like muzzled brutes their bark is more
terrible than their bite after all. We as
sert again, our policy must be quiet,
steady, earnest progress in the paths of in
dustry, frugality, competency, intelligence,
and virtue These lie before us, and all
we need is the will and determination to
pursue them.

tce Dom very properly asked the opinion Of j.
NJ Carlisle, ESQ, the Corporation Attorney, upon
this law, who repliedJthat he could not consider
a gathering of colored persons in private house
before ten o'clock as an unlawful assemblage, but
he thougt that all meetings of colored persons, Of
secret character, as Masons, who are bound BY
oath, as unlawful assemblages at any hour of the
night. The evidence showed that this meeting
was gotten up by r. Browp, who is ''suspended
for hundred years" by his Masonic Lodge and
]. T. Bsimms, who is suspended only" for the
purpose of raising funds to send to Baltimore TO
bring down an unauthorized Mason to open a new
Lodge in this city, with these as members The
others were drawn into the meeting in this wav
with the hope of joining the Order. This state
ment was made by one of the number, who was
angry because of being placed in this position.
Justice Dom fined Brown and Simms, theIeaj.
ers, each SIS and costs and the others 81 and costs

the reading Of the law wreferred to- Some magis.

The correctness of the decision is not disputed
But the position is Does the law as it stands

words, if it is desired to prevent the secret meet
ings would it not be better to enact law more
clearly defining the object? Section 9th Of the

OUR TROY LETTER.
Troy, Feb. 20, 1859,

IROt, EcD- -Oi 1OOJ'
Mr.. EDIroR:-I send you the stirring in
cidents of the past two weeks here. The
first was a juvenile concert of the pupils of
the Sabbath School attached to the colored
Presbyterian Church, which is taught by
sympathizing white friends from one or
two neighboring congregations. Their
performances were of such character as
compelled them to yield to universal re
quest to repeat them, which they will do
in the coming week, at much larger hall
than previously, so that all the admirers
of the school and of their delightful exer-
cises may have an opportunity to be pres
ent.
The next was the anniversary exercises
of the Female Benevolent Society of Troy,
assisted by the Daughters of Williams and
the St. Augustine, society of males.
Their annual report was written, as l am
told, by lady of rare accomplishments,
as its mechanical skill and lucid statement
Of the affairs of the society abundantly
proved. 1t was presented to the meeting
by Professor A. NJ Bland, the able teacher
Of the grammar school in this city. A
more extended statement, however, was
given by William Rich, Esq, who, it ap-

The Bethel Sabbath school of this vii
lage gave an entertainment few evenings
ago for the benefit Of the school, and the
ladies spared no pains to have everything
"got up" in fine style, but [ am sorry that
it was not so we'll attended as it might have
been, owing, l suppose, to the many festi-
walls that preceded it; however, those that
were present had a good time. On the
first Sabbath evening of every month they
have a Sabbath school concert, which con-
sists of singing and repetition of verses
from the Bible and hymns, with responses
by the brethren and friends present. They
are well attended by both old and young.
The school has only been in operation
little more than year, and one can see
a very great improvement in the children;
and were it not fer the old fogy notions
that some in our midst have, there might
be many more families represented in the
school.
Our esteemed friend, Rev. J. L. Holly,
made visit to the "viIlage of the locks"
on Saturday last, which we can scarcely
realize, it was SO very short, but, never
theless, sweet.
l noticed list of centenarians that were
published in the "Anglo" few weeks ago,
and [ thought that Mrs. Lydia Smith, a
colored lady of this village, might be added
to that list. She was married and was the
mother of two children at the time of the
Revolutionary war. Sheis now 108 years
old She was born a slave in the State of
Virginia. We also have living in our vii
lage probably the largest woman in the
State. She is colored lady, and is said
to weigh over fve hundred pounds. If
any of your correspondents can beat that,
I should be glad to hear from them.
