that matters have taken the turn they
have. These colored men of the East are
paving the way for new state of things
much needed in our own country. True,
money, which is his God, is at the bottom
of brother Jonathan's movement; but, not
withstanding, he will learn lesson on civ
ility not to be forgotten We hope some
day to have an embassy from Soudan or
Dahomey, having for its object the filling
of Jonathan's Golfers with dollars, with
alike favorable results. Give him money,
and the toughest of his edges wear off;
show him where he can push his trade, and
the bitterest of bis prejudices vanishin the
Soudan, or Dahomey will be
all the same to him. "There's good time
coming, boys, wait little longer"

A Suggestion.

Mr.. EDITOR While reading that most
interesting account of Hayti, in your last
issue, written by W. P. Newman, the
thought occurred that for the present it
would be wiser plan for the African Civ
ilization Society to spend its means and
energies in forming Christian settlement
in that fertile island, than to extend its OPP
erations to Africa; for that republic, under
the influence of pure gospel, might soon
attain such eminence that an embassy sent
by it to Washington might command as
much consideration as the yellow-skinned
heather Japanese.
I by no means favor any scheme of col
onization founded on prejudice, for | be-
lieve the rights of all men are equal; but
we find that voluntary emigration from
one country to another gives energy to
people, and tends to their population and
elevation In the history of missions we
find that the church at home gains strength
by sending the gospel abroad, and SO it is
with people. W.

EAR.ANGLo:-You will, no doubt, tell
us why persons who labor are so generally
neglected by others more fortunate
We have been taught in childhood that
it is honorable to work And now when
we remember the disadvantages under
which we find miserable existence as
prescribed Americans" we discover no
extenuation for the sin of those who pro-
scribe each other for such noble cause,
i. e., working for their living. Many a
young lady at service is made to feel most
keenly the unnatural distinction made be-
tween them and those who were blessed
with trades. There are others in our CON-
munities, both male and female, who do
nothing but dress and promenade, and are
raised in idleness, kept in ignorance and
luxury, yet these are the " lions of soci-
ETY." If we appreciate the idle, do we
not foster all of its consequent evils.l
When our reformers will rebuke these dis
tinctions, and the "Anglo" lend its valuable
aid, the world will learn that it is no dis
grace for either sex to engage in an honor
able employment.

Report of the Moses HoFner Com

Mr.. EDITeR-As there have been various

Messrs Samuel NJ Smith, George E. Ste

public meeting, called by Messrs. John A.

at the Philadelphia Institute ON Friday
evening, March 80, for the purpose of aid
ing and procuring counsel, if necessary, for
the men charged and imprisoned for an at
tempt to rescue Moses Horner an alleged
fugitive from Jefferson Co., Va from the
II. S. Marshall and his aids.

Rev. A. N. Freeman's last might i'm
BROOKLYN.


Mr.. EDIroR:--It was time long to be
remembered. 1t having been understood
that he, with his family, expected to leave
on Tuesday, the 18th inst, for his new
field in Hartford, many of his friends
gathered around him, both old and young,
for the purpose Of taking their last fare
well.
On Monday evening, about halfpast
six o'clock, a stream of friends began to
pour in, and continued to do SO until near
halfpast eleven.
During the evening, Mrs. Park read an
address, which had been prepared, on be-
half of the ladies and friends of the ST.
loan Church, and of which the following
is an extract:
:" Rev. Sir appear this evening before
you to attempt to utter some expression of
regret that you are SO soon to become
separated from a church that feels she is
inseparably joined to her pastor Yes, my
dear sir, the thought of separation gives
us painful anxiety, and shrouds our spirits
in gloom. Eight years of faithful labor
and pious example, combined with the So
cial relation that has been sustained by
pastor and people, causes us to look on the
past with joy, and to the future with fear,
but as Selkirk says:
There's mercy in every place,
And mercy encouraging thought, gives
even affection grace and reconciles man
to his lot Your place may be filled with
eloquence and ability, the gospel may be
preached in its purity by your successor;
still to many the pulpit will seem vacant
other days, with cluster of happy re-
collections, may cause us to exclaim with
Cowper,
What peaceful hours l once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill
" The unimpeached and unimpeachable
administration of eight years will not soon
be oblterated from the grateful hearts of
your loving people; and long after you
may have been settled over your new
charge, amid the granite hills of New
England, your labors here will be required
to with the most fondly predictions
At the close of the delivery of this ad-
dress, many retired, while others continued
to come; and what added still greater in
terest TO the occasion, about eleven o'clock
a father and mother, with some of their
friends entered, bringing with them their
little one for the purpose Of offering it up
to God in baptism. On presenting them
selves, Mr.. Freeman remarked that this
was an occasion of deep interest to him
his mind was carried back to days past
and gone. This father and mother had
come into the church during his ministry
in this place; by him they had been unit
ed in the holy bonds of matrimony; and
now, on the eve of his departure, they
come presenting themselves, bringing their
little one and giving it up to God
After prayer the friends withdrew, leav-
ing behind them many substantial tokens
of their affection, and invoking the bless
ing of God to rest upon the family. Tears
flowed from many eyes.

SUFFRAGE MEErING.-The Elective Fran

cheering meeting in that city en- last Mon
day evening. 1t was held in St. PauPs
Congregational Church, and was ably ad-
dressed by Mr.. J. M. Wilson and Rev.
Geo. W. Levere. Much enthusiasm was
manifested, and all present seemed to be
determined to go to work in earnest for the
franchise. Eleven new names were en-
rolled as members of the club. The meet
ing adjourned to next Monday evening.

colored men are not towards, and have de-
monstrated to the slaye-hunters that there
is beginning to be great danger in the bus
mess. They have done a deed which
sheds halo of glory around every black
man in the country. They could not help
it, they beheld their brother brought forth,
chained and fettered, to be taken to inter.
minable slavery, his countenance sad they
cast their eyes to the west, and there stood
forth in bold relief the spot where the De.
claration of Independence, in 1776, was
first proclaimed, setting forth that all men
were born free and equal, and endowed
with the inalienable right of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. They re.
membered from this sacred spot the lber.
ty bell, with dulcet sounds, tolled forth:
Proclaim liberty throughout the land, and
to all the inhabitants thereof
AS if by inspiration they rushed forth
to give liberty to their fellow man, regard
less of the great odds against them, and al
though like Captain John Brown, at Harp.
er's Ferry, they failed in their attempt
they have demonstrated that the time will
come when it will be impossible to remove
a fugitive from the free States to be return
ed to slavery.
