The Philadei phia reached here at S O'Clock
this morning, not finding the Roanoke as ex

Tor, with the Marines arrived here about the
same time on the Louisiana, and expresses
the opinion that the Roanoke would not have
left Ne. York during such weather, as her
shaft vas cracked, and may not be here be-
fore Monday or Tuesday. We found the
steamer Annicosta in waiting to transport the
baggage Of the Embassy. The Government
party are much disappointed as the Philadel-
phia WIS chartered for only three days and
furnished with supplies only for that time
Moreover, the magnificent boqnets of flowers
with which the steamer is decorated will

for the tables will spoil. The steamer Ami
costa will bring the news OF the arrival oil

weather is rough and it 10 raining. The Ro-

The annual meetings of the American Tract
Society, for several years past, have been
marked by such disgraceful subservenoy 10
the Cosscnocraoy and such mean tricks OF
scaldaqgsry ~ have heretofore scarcely been
psraleled in Tammany Hall isself. AT the
anniversary, last year, discussion was put
down in speech OF several hours' duration by
q lawyer who contended that the Society had
no right to regulate it's own affairs in it's own
way, but that the entire policy, control and
management OF the Society belonged exclu.
sively to the little clique Of sristocratic man.
ayers whose election 10 secured by the con-
servative politicians and merchants OF New
York. AT the recent anniversary, OF the
present year, resolution against the Slave
trade, presented by Rev. Mr.. Walcots, Of
Chicago, was stihed or cut off by motion
to adjourn.
1t would seem that the religious morality
of the Gospel, as understood by the Ameri-
can Tract Society, has sunk to low ebb
since it does not dare to condemn as immoral
and unohristian the African Slave trade,
which lie declared piracy by the laws of mos.
civilized nations. This religious association
is absolutely sunk far below the Dough facery
OF Douglas Democracy in it's pandering to
the degrading behests Of Southern Slave
holders. Ii is q sad case when political par
ties End examples and presidents of rascally
expedency 10 the action OF the religious
bodies of the land.
