DoUGLAs' RECEFrIox.-At a meeting Of
the executive committees Of the different Doug
las clubs Of the city, held at Democratic head
quarters On Thursday evening, the chairman,
Wm. H Carroll, was instructed to appoint q
committee Of fifty gentlemen, citizens OF Mem
phis, to receive and welcome Judge Douglas
on the 24lh instant. n. 7. Lswrsnee was sp-
pointed treasurer and John Park grand mar
shslof all the clubs for that especial occasion.
A call will be found elsewhere for a meeting
Of the marshals on Saturday night.
SERIOUS AFFRAY.-Ats late hour On Thurs
day night, a serious difficulty occurred On
Adams street, at Larke's eating saloon, where
il will be remembered, Mr.. Gailor, Of the
fEalaaois, was 50 eowardly attacked some
tine since. The Partieipators ia this ease are
not Of the sans dastSrdly character as The
former, though they were more bloody. It
seems that Nicholas Lsngdon and James Wig
gins met in this saloon, and falling into con
vsrsation, remarks were made BY Virgins al
which Lsngdon took umbrsge, and lmmedl-
ately struck Virgins with bis FIST, whereuson
Virgins, drawing a dirk, stabbed LsBgdon
In the shoulder. In the melee Virgins re-
eeived a severe cut on the head with q tumblsr.
from TIE hands q Mr.. John Sherman, though
neither Of the sounds are likely to prove Sc
nous. The parties were arrested, and yestsr-
Cay morning, after examining toe case lbor-
oughly, the recorder fined Virgins and Lang
don s. each, and Sherman 500.

LETTER FROM NIAGARA.

Mr.. EDIToR-After ride of three days
from central Pennsylvania, by railroad, |
have arrived at Niagara Falls, the great
curiosity of which Americans so often
love to boast. The scenery is really beau
tiful, and the thunderings of the cataract
and wonderful falls of water that / have
heard SO much spoken Of, ] can now real
ize. Upon my arrival here | met few
friends at the cars, who, after short in
quiry after friends at home, informed me
that Mons Blondin, the great rope ascen-
sonist, was to take one of his aerial walks
in few hours. AS they were on the road
to see this wonderful performer, ] conclud-
ed to join them. We Immediately pro-
ceeded to the Suspension Bridge Ia few
miles below, where the rope had been sus-
pended directly across the Rapids. Be-
tween and o'clock P NJ, the Mon. made
his appearance in carriage, dressed in a
style similar to the accrobats of circus,
with feathered ornament upon his head,
giving him something of Indian like APP
pearance. After driving around the vii
LACE he walked across to the Canada side
of the river, and returned in about fifteen
minutes, performing various feats on the
rope. 1t has been published that he will
walk during the Summer on stills. twill
be quite a daring feature, and | have no
doubt draw many visitors to the Falls.
From the number of feats already perform
ed by him, / believe that he is capable Of
the task.
There are seventy or eighty young
men from the States and Canadas who
spend the Summer gaily at this place; and
upon inquiry, I was surprised to see that
but three or four are when at home) sub
scribers to the anglo"
This morning / visited Canada. The
view of the Falls from that side is far su-
perior to the view on the American side of
the river. / also assembled the observatory

of meanness, no bankruptcy like that of a
heart bankrupt in just, kind, and generous
feelings
Brethren and sisters of the East and
West, will you not rally around these men
Theirs IS common cause; they bear a
common standard. Do not stop to cavil
and find fault by saying they were rash
and imprudent, and engaged in hopeless
contest. Their ears were quicker than
ours; they heard the death-knell of free
dom sound in the ears of doomed and fat
ed brother, and to them they were clarion
sounds, rousing their souls to deeds of no.
BILE daring trumpet tones, melting them
to brave and lofty actions.
And now shall these men stand alone ?
Are we not all ready to contribute means
and money to defray the expences of their
trial-not as matter Of charity, but as a
memorial Of their services and token Of
our gratitude And let me, in conclusion,
ask our young men and maidens, our pas
tors and people, to unite in giving tangi-
bic expression to their sympathy by sus-
tanning these men, with the consciousness
that it is a privilege to do the humblest
deed for freedom

TO THE CHURCHES OF THE ANGLO
AFRICAN PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF
NEW YORK.

1t has long been evident to many that
the help for all our wrongs was to be found
in prayer alone. Political parties had
made the sorrows of an afflicted and suffer
ing people their stepping stones to obtain
place and power; but in rare instances
there was no more mention of, or attempt,
to do away with the wrongs which had
furnished them with such plausible pre-
texts. To Him alone with whom there
is neither variableness nor shadow of turn.
ing" must we lift up our cry, and in Him
now is all our trust.
A few of us whose hearts have been of
late moved, as the head of one man." to
feel for our beloved brethren and sisters at
the South, many of whom, by laws, falsely
so denominated, are now daily being sent
out from the homes they had gathered
round them, or being sold into bondage,
ten thousand times more CALLING to them,
and guilty in their oppressors, than the
bondage in which Gods ancient people
we're held by heather kings, have coven-
anted to meet each Sabbath morning at
Shiloh Church, in Prince-street, at 5 o'clock,
and together offer up our united prayer for
these, our suffering brethren and sisters.
"Is any afflicted, let him pray" is the
divine command by the mouth of the
Apostle James. Oh! brethren and sisters,
who amongst us is not afflicted as we touch
on these things7 which of us with hearts
to love our. own flesh shall not be afflicted
as we remember these, bound and bleeding
ones ? which of us not altogether sunk in
self, and self-indulgence, shall refuse to
rise, and in the morning let our God hear
]" our voice in supplication high" our
voice in earnest prayer"
tits hoped, therefore, that all the church
es will appoint meeting for prayer at the
hour above named; and that henceforth,
on each morning of the Sabbath, one cloud
Of prayer and supplication from loving
and importuning hearts, may ascend before
the mercy seat" A.M.G.

LETTER FROM HAYTI.

PoRr AU PRINCE, HAYTI, April %, 1860
DEAR Bro. Brown AND DUER:-I wrote
you on the Sd inst, the day left here for
the Cape. was absent over three weeks,
and | now give you an outline of my tour.
The Haytien government gave me letters
to different commandants of the north.
took with me Mr.. |. Brougham as an inter-
prefer. We sailed from this city for ST.
Marc in an open boat, and was out to sea
forty eight hours, and suffered much We
enjoyed the hospitality Of Elder Faure
while at st. Marc, though the General of
the ACCOMPLISHMENT offered to entertain u.s.
st. Marc has been splendid walled city,
but it is now in ruins. 1t has several
thousand inhabitants, and much business
is yet done there 1t has quite cotton
market. The Baptist church has nearly
become extinct there There are 20 Bap-
lists in the place--eight of whom disown
the name, and the other twelve no longer
hold religious service. Bro Faure is work
ing at his trade, but thinks the church
could be revived if good man who spoke
French was there, and could be sustained,
