Our Albany Letter.
ALBANY, April 2, 1860.

ALBANY, April 2 1860.
DEAR ANGLo:-Dr. j. Theopilus Kra-
mer's lecture was indeed worthy one, be-
ing an ''old picture in new Frame" though
on the subject of slavery, yet it was pre-
sented in different light from any that
have preceded it. AS usual, however, the
audience was not as large as it ought to
have been.
The exhibition of the Sunday School Of
the Bethel A. M, L. Church came off on
Tuesday evening last before full house
of white and colored. The school itself is
small, composed mostly of small children;
yet it was grand success, for which, how
ever, they are deeply indebted to the vol
unteers for the occasion, who deserve great
praise not only for the generous and Chris
tan spirit shown in lending hand to ben
eft sister church of God, but for the able
and elegant manner in which they perform
ed their parts. We were unable ourselves
to be present, but dispatched reporter
there, 1--WE being at the exhibition of the
Deaf and Dumb at the Capitol, which was
indeed sight worth seeing to all who
could be so fortunate as to get a sight,
who presents us the following sketch: The
following young ladies of the Baptist school
and choir volunteered: Misses A. and l.
Benedict, Whose performances were crown
ed the gems and themselves the "stars"
Of the evening" Miss G.. Topp, Miss j.
Gardner, and Miss E. Latour, with Master
Benedict, in addition TO which were also
the following volunteers: Miss M. Addi-
son, Miss G. johnson, and one or two
others. By request, it is to be repeated
on Thursday evening next, when it is to
b0 lvpvd tlloy iii -4ve forsot " mention
on the programme these volunteers, that
they may have the credit due them for their
voluntary act of kindness, as without them
its success would have fallen far short of
what it was. A pleasant feature of the
evening was the presentation OF a splendid
Bible to the Rev. A. @. Crippin, elder and
superintendent of the school, by the pupils
of the school. The presentation was made
in their behalf in neat speech by Stephen
Myers, Esq, and received by Mr.. @. with
few appropriate and feeling remarks.
From the number of persons present, the
church must have been, which we are hap
Ply to say, greatly aided.
Rev. L. Doughty Miller repeats his lee
ture on woman" on Thursday evening
next, in the Pearl street Baptist white
church, the trustees of which have kindly
volunteeredits use. He expects to deliver
it in Troy ON the following Tuesday, April
10TH
Allen NJ. Bland, Esq, of Troy, paid us
a flying visit yesterday. JUSTICE.

Public Meeting at Toronto.

TORONTO, March 81, 1860
Mr.. EDIToR:-Pursuant to call of the
friends of Mr.. VIM. Still, meeting was
held in the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
on the 18th of February, fer the purpose
of examining certain charges villifying his
character and made against him by one
"Dimmock Charlton" alias "John Bull"
in the Frederick Douglass Paper" and
purporting to have been written in this
city.
The meeting was organized by placing
Mr.. G. W Cary in the Chair, and F. G.
Simpson was requested to act as Secretary
After the organization, the Chairman re-
quested the Secretary to read the letter in
Frederick Douglass Paper" as prelimi-
nary step, after which an opportunity was
given to all present to express their senti-
ments with regard to the charges. Many
spoke, prominent among whom was Dr. A.
T. Augustus, Messrs. A. Ell. Judah, w. FL.
Harris, Samuel Lewis, F. G.. Simpson, and
others too numerous to mention, all OF
whom, with no exception, spoke in favor
of Mr.. Stills character as gentleman and
a friend of the slave, some from personal
knowledge and others from hearsay-and
with one accord spoke of ''Dimmock" as a
oto
cially those of them who had personal deal
ings with him. Mr.. Isaac johnson, the
person mentioned in "Dimmock'sp letter
as having, with seventeen others, been
cheated out of four of their trunks, then
came forward voluntarily, and stated that
he did not know Mr. Still, never having
seen him, it being in the year 1941 when
he came through Philadelphia, and the per-
son he then saw in the Anti Slavery office
was Mr.. Hall, thus making that charge
a complete forgery. As for the young man
who had been cheated out of his wages, he
has not turned up as yet, and the other
charges are not worth noticing, having no
foundation in truth whatever. After a
careful examination of all the charges, the
meeting agreed to the following resolu-
tions:
Resoleed, That this meeting, after having heard
Mr.. Stills defense, and after having ascertain
ed the source from whence the foul assertions
have arisen against his character do consider
them groundless and without the least shadow of
truth.
Resolred, That this meeting do still continue to
hold the most implicit confidence in Mr.. Stills
nharanta- nnn+la,,eor and +,1a fria,1 n thn
flying fugitive; and that we deeply sympathize
with Mr.. Still in this attempt to injure his
character, and earnestly urge upon him to still
continue his exsrtions in behalf of the slave with
untiring zeal.
A notice of these proceedings was Or
dered to be sent to frederick Douglass
Paper" for publication, after which the
meeting adjourned.

BALL OF THE BROOKLYN EsMERALDA CLUB.
That providence which helps the lame
and the lazy, took us to the National Hall,
Brooklyn, on Wednesday evening 18th ult.,
to be present at the hop of the Esmeralda
Club. Whenwe entered the room about $50
guests were tripping the flight fantastic
toe" to the inspiring music evolved from
the elbow of Mr.. Murray and the fingers
of his assistants, who were ensconsed in a
recess, protected by the American flag
Let it be known that the black man was
for once protected by the stars and stripes.
The affair was credit to the young men
of the Club The floor was under the SUI
pervision of Prof. i. B. Voorhees,, who
brought order out of chaos, and conducted
the saltatory exercises with that tact and
gentle courtesy, for which he is becoming
SO renowned. Being opposed to the snob-
berry of naming the belle at a festival, we
shall avoid doing SO on the present occa-
sion, and we hereby warn all searchers af-
ter this knowledge, that if we are ever
again called upon to impart it, that we
shall speak fright out in meeting" and give
the name in full, every letter, "a few
rude fellows of the baser sort attempted
to disgrace the club by their dirty dress
and their vile conduct and viler language,
but most signally failed. Drunk and dis
orderly as they were, they should have
been removed from the presence of the la
dies, and we advise the officers of the club
to do SO if they dare again to appear at
one of the hops of the Esmeralda. We are
under obligations for polite attention to
the "press," to Mr.. G.. p. Vogelsang, Pres
ident of the club, and to Messrs. George
Hall, Smith, Voorhees,, Elston and How
ard. AS the sun appeared the company
dispersed, highly pleased with the gentle
men of the Esmeralda Club.

Our Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20, 1860.
MIR. EDITOR Our evening entertain
ment season seems just now to be in its
full glory. A very brilliant party was
given here last Thursday evening by a
club OF gentlemen of the first ward, with
Mr.. David WEIGH as President, and it has
since been spoken of by good judges as be-
ing one of the finest affairs of the kind that
the colored citizens of Washington have
ever given. This party, | am informed,
was given by the, club to the colored ladies
of Washington, in return for fine enter
tainment given by them some weeks ago,
called "Leap Year Banquet"
A grand musical promenade will come
off at Franklin's Hall on Monday evening
next, and on Thursday evening a supper
will be given by the "Sons of Humanity"
the proceeds of which will go to refund a
sum of money loaned by a white man to
prevent a youth whose father is much re-
spected here-from being sold into South
ern slavery.
Among the strangers here this week, /
noticed the Rev. J. j. Clinton, assistant
Superintendent of Wesleyan Conference !;
Mr.. j. d. Harris, of Cleveland, Ohio, who
I understand is here on business with the
government in connection with his mission
to Hayti; and the Rev. Mr.. Peck, of Bal
timore, Md.
The John Wesleyan choir are practicing
for concert. Judging from the selec-
tons, it promises to be brilliant affair
This choir is under the leadership of Mr.
James II. Webster, who has been for many
years one of the leading members of the
old "Harmonist Vocal Music Association"

From the Syracuse IN. " Standard.
Letter TO Rev. j. w. LOguen, from
His Old Mistress.

The following letter was received day
or two since by Rev. Mr.. Loguen of this
city, from his old mistress "way down in
Tennessee" The old lady is evidently
"hard up financially, and attempts to
frighten her former servant into the pay
ment of $1,000 as "hush money" We
imagine she sent to the wrong man, as Mr..
Loguen needs no "bill of sale" to secure
himself from capture In this section of the
State. Besides his own stalwart arm, he
has hosts of friends who would make this
region too hot to hold the man-hunters
who would venture on such an errand as
the old lady hints at in her somewhat sim
gular epistle. Her lamentations about the
old mare are decidedly funny, 1--WE may
add womanly) and all the misfortunes of
the family are traced directly to the escape
of "Jarm" But here is her letter;
MAURY COUNTY, State of Tennessee
Feb 20, 1860. I
To JARM:-I now take my pen to write
you few lines, to let you know how we
all are. l am cripple, but | am still able
to get about. The rest of the family are
all we'll Cherry is as we'll as common. |
write you these lines to let you know the
situation we are n,-partly in consequence
OF your running away and stealing Old
Rock, our fine mare. Though we got the
mare back, she never was worth much af-
ter you took her; and, as now stand in
need of some funds, have determined to
sell you; and have had an offer for you,
but did not see fit to take it. If you will
send me one thousand dollars and pay for
the old mare, | will give you all claim /
have to you.-Write to me as soon as you
get these lines, and let me know if you
will accept my proposition In conse-
quence of your running away, we had to
sell Abe and Ann and twelve acres OF land !;
and l want you to send me the money
that / may be able to redeem the land that
you was the cause of our selling, and on
receipt of the above named sum of money,
/ will send you your bill Of sale. IF you
do not comply with my request, l will sell
you to some one else, and you may rest
assured that the time is not far distant
when things will be changed with you.
Write to me as soon as you get these lines.
Direct your letter to Bigbyville, Maury
County, Tennessee. You had better COM
ply with my request.
/ understand that you are preacher.
As the Southern people are SO bad, you
had better come and preach to your old
acquaintances-I would like to know if
you read your Bible. If SO, can you tell
what will become of the thief if he does
not repent3 and, if the blind lead the blind,

unnecessary to say much more at present.
A word to the wise is sufficient. You
know where the liar has his part. You
know that we reared you as we reared our
own children; that you was never abused,
and that shortly before you ran away,
when your master asked you if you would
like to be sold, you said you would not
leave him to go with any body.
