A Merry-Making.

We Africo-Americans are usually well
pleased with the little attentions paid to US
by Anglo-Americans, and often smile at
these attentions; but if ever we were dis
posed to broad grin, it is over the vigor-
Gus demonstrations, the mountain labors,
bestowed upon us at the great Democratic
convention which has just closed its labors
in the good city of Charleston, S. G. Hith-
erto this party has been loud and blatant
about the propriety of others paying us
any sort of little attention, and fain would
have made the world believe their hue
and cry of "nigger-worshipperS" and 'nig-
ger-worship' were earnest; but we were
not weak enough to believe them. We
knew that it was nothing more than mere
jealousy, and are now more than ever con-
frmed in that opinion. No sooner did the
opportunity present itself to them than
they have made us their special concern
and solicitude. Though four millions of
us only, and degraded and insignificant at
that-yea, merely nothing, and incapable
of ever becoming anything but the most
miserable of beings-(this has been their
old tune, rung on a thousand changes
that we, to the utter neglect, and expense,
too, of the other nineteen millions whites,
pure whites, unadulterated whites, free
whites, intelligent whites-tlaat we, unmis-
take;,ble blacks, should have become the
spefiality of the Democratic party is truly
a s'aggerer. But so it is, and there is no
denial, What pleasure had they under
the sun in all they said, and all they did,
and all they felt, and all they conceived,

but the negro and his status? Yea, verify,
none. A platform, platform, said they;
give us PLATFORM platform upon which
the niger and we ourselves can mutually
stand and tremendously work
This is the great desideratum with the
Democratic party just now. But then
they gave gone too far in their anxiety for
the black man. They have quarreled
among themselves, called each other hard
names, and threatened each other; they
have learned over his (the black mans
back that there is North and a South,
and have gone SO far as to tell each other
SO. They have smashed up, sworn off,
and gone home. Indeed, it is now ques-
ton with them whether the Presidential
candidate or the ngro shall stand upon
their platform when they get it'made. The
negro-the insignificant negro-meanwhile
has grasped the stars and stripes, and will
yet, it may be, tear them in sunder, and
scatter them to the winds, and pluck the
eagle, too, proud bird of America, from his
prouder roosting place, and make him food
for worms.
Oh ! horrible to contemplate In such
an event all our smiles would be turned to
tears, and all our joy to grief and mourn
ing and lamentation. Brother Democrats,
we always knew we were somebody, and
are right glad that you are now proclaim
ing the same to the world; but do not, we
pray you, take on so about tit may re-
suit more seriously to you than it yet has.
You may have not smash-up merely, but
a serious one-a damage that will certain
ly be deplored by some. Keep cool, gen.
tlemen-keep COOL Now that you have
retired from the contest, from the heat of
the battle, certainly, gentlemen, keep cool.
Your country demands it of you.

depart from Us, for We Never
Knew YOU"

When the prospect of making out the
case against the Rev. Jacob S. Harden, the
New Jersey wife poisoner, became pretty
clear, an attempt was made by the dirty
dogs of the venal press to fasten him into
the ranks of the Abolitionists; but, as usu-
al, they find that they have shook the
wrong m-tree-that the wolf, instead of
being found among the lambs of the Abo-
lition flock, has ever been bowling among
the dens and wild haunts where pro-slave-
ny hocks have herded and pastured. All
the facts go clearly to prove that the Rev.
Jacob S. Harden, the alleged New Jersey
wife poisoner, has been, during his whole
ministerial career, loud croaker against
Abolitionism, and a still louder one in ia
vor of slavery, carrying his hoarse croak-
ings all the way in the pulpits which his
unhallowed feet have been permitted to
tread.
We again say to the Rev. Jacob S. Har-
den and those clerical brethren of his like,

A Hard Case.

1t is said in Holy Writ that man be-
fore he builds house, first sits down and
counts the cost; and truly the trustees of a
certain religious body in the goodly city
of Syracuse must have been adopts in cal
culation and experts in fnanciering they
built them an house unto the Lord, and
it cost them nothing. But to our tale.
Our attention has lately been drawn,
through a communication handed to us by
Mr.. t. G. White, to case of sharp prac-
tice ito call it by no harsher name on the
part of body of evangelical Christians in
Syracuse, evincing an ability on their part
to acquire possession of other mems SUBJ
stance, under color of law, without render
ing an equivalent, that the sons of Nam
mon well might envy, but scarcely hope to
surpass.
1t appears, from Mr.. Whites statement,
that in the year 1885 the society of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, through
their minister, (who, by the bye, had relin-
pushed the, perhaps to him, distasteful
pursuit of practicing law for the more con-
genial vocation Of preaching the Gospel
induced one Peleg Marshall, a carpenter,
qeho could neither read nor aeyate, to enter
into contract to build for them house of
worship.
Through the urgent solicitation of Mar
shall, backed by that of the Trustees, who
were all honorable, influential, yea, godly
men, Mr.. White was pursuaded to contract
for the mason work of the building; and
within eight weeks from the date of his
agreement, his work was completed and
the building ready for roofing. But the
society were not ready, nor have they ever
been up to this day, to repay those worthy
but too simple minded men for actual ex-
penses by them incurred, except a paltry
sum, sufficient to clear the society from the
clutches of the law, of which, no doubt,
their pastor had imbued them with holy
horror.
Marshall was ruined by the transaction
and died broken hearted, if Mr.. Whites
statement be a truthful one, and he him.
self, after suffering for years in the vain at
tempt to obtain from the society his due, a
series of merciless prosecutions that would

damned himself for gold, is obliged, in or

the frost of four score winters whitening
his head, now Stands trembling between

toned would give in charity part of

vania Abolition Society are favorable to it,
and the President and one OF the two Vice
Presidents (Dillwin Parrish and Benjamin
Coates) are both Vice Presidents of the AZ

such men as Rev Albert Barnes, Of this
city, and VIM Whipper, Of Columbia, Pa,

Of the STANDARD" but most of the respec-
table and estimable men who took part In
the meeting in opposition to this society,
will ere long be among its truest friends.
That they are now among the sincere
friends of depressed but rising people,
and actuated by correct motives, but few
will be disposed to doubt, although, like
other men, they may have their prejudiees,
and for the time may have allowed their
feelings and party spirit to control their

Mr.. Editor, through your paper, to give
up party strife, and while we may not all
see alike as to the best course to be pur-
sued in every case, let an honest differ
ence of opinion be tolerated, SO that the
true friends of the oppressed, both of the
slave and the free, shall present an unbro-
ken front to the slave power, the common

Our Albany Letter.

ALBANY, May I, 1860.
DEAR ANGLo:-The Albany Suffrage
Club met on Monday evening last, pursu-
ant to adjournment, to discuss the question,
'Is the colored man, under the present law
of the State, justified in voting3 7" VIM.
P. Mcintyre, Esq, opened ably in the af-
frmative, and was followed by P Robin
son in the negative, and j. S. Lekins in the
affirmative, when, it being a question of
magnitude, and being On the eve of SNOW
ing day." and the attendance therefore
smaller than desirable, ON motion of Mr.
Mcintyre, the subject was postponed until
the next meeting. Rev. Mr.. Miller then
presented for the action of the meeting the
following resolutions, the first being a SUBJ
stitute offered by Mr.. Mcintyre for the or
iginal, and the others as amended by the
gentleman presenting them, on behalf of
Stephen Myers, Esq, who was unavoida-
bly, absent from excessive labor and indis-
position. They were fully discussed, and
some stirring incidents were related by a
white gentleman who had been up to Troy
to see if any aid from Albany was needed,
but who, on his arrival, found the work
done-aceH done, Thoroughly done. The
resolutions were unanimously adopted, ex-
cept the fourth of the series, which was
laid on the table for information, relating
as it does to the relative powers Of State
and United States officers in such cases.
Here are the resolutions, which have, in
obedience to the voice Of the meeting, al
ready been published in all our influential
journals here:
Resolrsd, That in the arrest of Charles Noll at
Troy, on the 18th inst, as alleged fugitive from
Virginia, and in the remanding him back az such
by Commissioner Beach, the religious and moral
sentiment of the people was outraged and the
Trojans, in rescuing their fellow laborer from the
hands of the man-stealer, have shown allegiance
to "higher power" than that which makes char

NEWBURG. Anr

NEwBURG, April 26, 1860
Mr.. EDlToR:-This place has improved
much since / resided here, eight years AGO
Many changes have taken place within
that time; cannot say that the place has
extended any further out, that is, beyond
its former limits, but its outer part is more
thickly inhabited, and new buildings con.
stantly in progress. The number of color.
ed inhabitants have much increased.
The state of religion, learn, has been
quite progressive the past year. Zion
A. M. E. Church was rebuilt under tbe
pastoral charge of Rev. Peter Ross in 1852,
but since he left, until within the last two
years, it has been on the decline During
the period just named, under the pastoral
care of Rev. Jos. p. Thompson, it has pro.
crossed rapidly, and has been extricated
from several liabilities in which it was in.
volved. On Sabbath evening was pleas,
ed to find large congregation. RevMr.
Giles addressed the audience on "the bene.
fetal effects of religious institutions"

whose labors seem to be highly appreca

The ladies of the Iii Sewing Society

Monday evening last, and / visited it two
evenings. On the first evening, the wealth

small, but on the second evening it was
much larger, and the receipts quite salts

money to pay for repairs of the church.
The people sorrow much in anticipation
of losing their pastor, for whom they have
the strongest attachment. This is his last
year with them. His indefatigable labon
has indeed been of great benefit to the
church in relieving them from their TEN.
porary embarrassment. 1t is hoped his
successor may prove as energetic as he
has, as there is yet some liabilities on the
