Mr. EDIToR--The reception of the can
gO' last week, in this place, caused con-
siderable squirming in certain quarters,
and as I am informed by your agent here,
brought it into demand little beyond his
supply. The truthful, but singing criti-
cism Of one of our public men has been
approved, while his conduct has been con-
demned. Mr.. P. thinks that my article
does him injustice, insomuch as it is likely
to produce wrong impression. For his
satisfaction | will state that he is man of
intelligence and unquestionable moral
worth; and that while | did not mean to
detract from his general reputation, l did
mean to hold up his course, as a delegate
to the General Conference, to the censure
OF all who contributed to send him there,
LOT either specific or general purpose.
1he action of public men are liable to
criticism, and should always be taken in
such spirit as will promote the interest of
the people. Thin-skinned, imprudent,
lmProvldent and inconstant persons should
Oe careful not to accept responsibilities of
Puolc trust which involve private sacri-
hce, which too few are willing to make for
the general good
l am happy to inform you that your in
aetatlgaole agent, j. G. Bustill, of Phila-
delphia, is using every exertion to call
public meeting to assist in cancelling the

the slave Horner. Thus far he has met
with little encouragement from those who
ought to lead the van; but he is NOT 70 he

tempted to redeem with their courage what
we have lost by our lack of vigilance. AS
the public meeting will take place on Tues

the Anglo-Africans will manifest to the
sufferers spirit of that devotion to the
cause of humanity which has for its aim
the elevation of the free, and the olsen
thralment of the slave.
The minister sent to Wesley Union
Church is expected soon now, that the Cen
eral Conference is over, hope that he will
evince a spirit of fellowship with the other
denominations, and thus crush out the pre-
Judice which exists to a very great extent
between the churches of this city. Great
good is doubtless defeated in consequence
of the members of the respective churches
refusing to attend meetings of any char
acter that are not held in their own church.
Much depends on the spirit of union
pervading the Christianity of the Rev.

ANNIvERsARY OF THE ABYssINIAN DAUGH-
TIERS OF EsrHER.-On Thursday evening,
Zion Church was again thrown open to the
public, who came in large numbers to wit
ness the exercises of this sterling society.
The ceremonies were commenced with an
anthem by the choir, which was followed
by prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Ross, of
Worcester, Mass Prof. G. L. Reason read
portion of the Constitution, after which
he made some brief remarks in reference
to the condition of the colored people, cit
ing facts to prove that our people in Phil
adelphia were not only paying taxes suffi-
Gent to pay for the schooling of their chill
dren, but that they absolutely went far be-
yond it. His reference to the society was
exceedingly appropriate and interesting
Mr. p. III. Reason was the next speaker.
He made an apology las did his brother) for
the want of preparation, (which we think
was superhuous,) and then delivered We
ry beau iful address upon the influence of
woman. The society having purchased a
splendid cake-basket to be presented to
their ex-president, Mrs. Susan Dolly, on
this occasion, Mr.. P. 81. Reason delivered
the presentation address. To say that it
was well done is perhaps needless, yet we
could wish that some person little more
familiar with the society's affairs could
have delivered the presentation address.
MI D. Petersons absence must have been
very embarrassing to the speakers, as we'll
as great disappointment to the society.
Addresses were also delivered by Messrs.
John Jacobs and Geo. W. Myers. These
young gentlemen present great promise of
usefulness if they will but continue in the
improvement of their talents. From the
applause bestowed we should Judge that
their addresses were highly appreciated.
The latter. who was also master of ceremo.
MES in place of Mr. J. FL. johnson, who
has gone to Newport, performed his part
very gracefully. Considering the absence
of Messrs j. Peterson, J. Gambler, and
=. X. Brown, we think that the society has
every reason to be proud of the success Of
the anniversary. BoB'N AROUND,

y TO the Friends of the Fugi-
tiVes from SlaVery.-It is well known that
Syracuse has long been one of the principal de-
pots on the Underground Railroad" For many
years past, fugitives from slavery, varying in
numbers from thirty to nearly two hundrad an
nually, have been sheltered here and aided hence
to Canada OF to places of safety on this side of the
st. Lawrence.
Since the Fall of 1857, the management of this
business has devolved almost wholly upon the
Rev. J. w. Loguen and his family, who have full
filed the duties committed to them very aceepta-
bly,. They are willing still to keep their house
open as an asylum for the oppressed and to help
them on their way to free homes. In order to do
this, he must depend upon the contributions of
the benevolent in this city and elsewhere for IT,
support of his family and the aid of those who
come to him in distress All fugitives coming
this way should be directed to the care of Rev.
Rev. J. W. Loguen, and contributions or subscrip-
tons of money, clothing, or provisions may be
sent directly to him. or to such persons as he may
designate.
Mr.. Loguen agrees to keep exact accounts of
all that he receives and of those whom he shell
tiers and assists, and holds accounts in readiness
for the inspection of any friends who will take
the trouble to come and examine them. He will
also make semi-annual reports, and present his ac-
counts to gentlemen who have been appointed to
audit them.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Syracuse, have
long known Mr.. Loguen. We believe him to be
a very upright as well as enterprising man, every
way qualified to fill the important station which
he occupies, and we cordially commend him to
the confidence of the benevolent everywhere.
We take this occasion to caution the benevo-
lent everywhere against one VIM. Brown, some
times called the Rev. Mr.. Brown, sometimes Pro-
fessor, and at other times Dr. Brown, who has
been extensively about the country claiming to
be friend of the fugitives. We advise all those
who wish to make donations for the promotion Of
this philanthropic enterprise to make them to
Mr. Loguen and to refrain altogether from max
ing them to Mr.. Brown.
