So we went over to the beautiful hotel
kept by Mrs. Vanderlip, where we were
treated with that courtesy that sensible
people always extend to Their guests.
We had large meeting that night in
the courthouse, during which alluded to
the treatment we had received at the hands
of that landlord, but assured the citizens
that it was not my intention to Judge the
State of Vermont by the conduct exhibited
by that dwarfed specimen of humanity,
Charles Orvis, which brought down the
house in loud and continued applause,
mingled with couple of prolonged goose
like Kisses proceeding from the partner in
the hotel, and brother-in-law of the land
lord, who sat directly in front of me, and
from whose red and angry countenance /
had no difficulty in finding out their rela-
tionship. After the audience became some

my remarks, another loud hiss, like the
baneful rattle of snake, resounded through
the room, which was soon lost in shouts
from the audience of "That is good p
"Give it to him |" &C., showing very plain
ly whose side the people were on. l con-
tinued my remarks without further inter-
ruI ton.
In winding up the discourse, an invita-
ton was given for any one to make re-
marks that felt SO disposed. Mr.. Ander-
son, the Presbyterian minister, said he was
much interested in what my father had
said, as his subject was the "Origin of
Slavery" but in my case he thought that
private grievances ought not to be told in
public, and he should be glad if my father
would tell his personal history.
After he concluded, said / was glad
my father had chosen the subject that he
did; if he had told his own experience, it
would have consisted of private grievances,
which of course might not have pleased
some. But then, you know, that minister
was dependent on his congregation, and
the relatives of the landlord were his men,
bers; so he felt bound to say something

next morning when party of gentlemen
waited on the landlord to hear his story

ashamed that he resorted to lie, and said

THE WALTZ.

To music's sweet measure in couples they whirl,
Tattooing the floor as they circle and curl;
The toes of the ladies go tippity-tip,
The heels of the gentlemen rippity-rip;
All making Babel of noise by their jumps,
Like hoppity, skippity, thumpity thumps:
Coat-skirts against dresses go Aippity-6 flap,
Then huggity, tuggity, rubbity-rapl
Tins mated together, strange murmurs arise,
Discordant of mnsis, of whispers and signs;
For masculine fingers, with nervous unrest;
Quite close to the heart of the maiden are pressed
Imperial waltz from the land of the Rhine,
Where music is hallowed by temple and shrine
In public embraces thy votaries meet,
Fantastical nymph of the muse-tripping feet
To thee the swift graces of motion belong,
Terpsichorean queen of the fiddle and song;
For bountiful bosoms and liberal hands
Are ready and willing to meet thy demands.
No marvel it is that conventional rules
Wear off their reserve in our fashionable schools,
w AASiO AhSh oAS oOSA WIN AaSCS VI
To female balloons all inflated with air.
All well may the moralist trumpet his calls
For speedy reform of the dancing at balls,
Where over .exertions, like pressure of steam,
Endanger the button and threaten the seam
When cracking of hoops and collision of knees
Are varied by signing reports of squeeze
all forming together ludicrous sound,
Like snappity, rappity, hobbity-roundl
Away they go whirling in twitter and twirl,
The strangers embrace round the innocent girl,
So close that she feels his warm breath on her
checks,
Where the semblance of roses her purity speaks
On faster and dizzily faster they fly,
With murmuring tone and tremulous sigh,
Till down upon seats they both staggering fall,
Quite drunk with waltz at temperance ball

OUR ALBANY LETTER.
ALBANY, April 9, 1860.

ALBANY, Apfll y, 1901.
DEAR ANGLo:-The Legislature COM
pletes its one hundred days tomorrow, and
consequently business is being done by
steam. 1t has been ascertained by rigid
investigation that the suffrage resolutions
the passage of which gave SO much joy,
and which were looked upon by Senators
themselves, and even the Secretary of State,
as finalty-are, so far, a failure, there be-
ing no authority for the people to vote on
the amendment, and no time specified for
such vote. Consequently, though late in
the session, bill was introduced week
since, as soon as the friends of the measure
made the discovery; but it being SO near
the close of the session, when SO many i'm
portant bills are to be acted upon, it has
not yet been passed, and is thought that
the fears Of too many will be realized and
that it will not pass, without which our
cause this year must again fail. Many
look upon it as trick and scheme. as
those accustomed to legislation only made
the discovery some weeks after the passage
of the resolutions, and at the very end of
tho session. Our friend Myers, however,
has said, and clings to it, that the new bill
soiH pass, and he ought to know. We
await patiently the verdict, as the Repub-
licans are in Straight between two" fear
ing on the one hand that this "negro equal
ityn doctrine-which even Mr.. Seward
sneers at--will prove disastrous to their
cause at the polls, and on the other fear
ing the loss of those hundreds of votes
which, this year, will be so very valuable
to the success of their party.
A public meeting was held on Tuesday
evening last, in the Bethel Church, to re-
spond to the address of the people of Hay
ii. The meeting was well attended, but
as report has been sent you by its off,
GERS, / will not dwell upon it here Imme-
diately after, another meeting was organ
lied by appointing Mr.. Richard Wright
chairman and Mr. VIM. P. Mcintyre secre-
tary, for the purpose of forming suffrage
club. Mr.. Stephen Myers made known
to the meeting the above developments in
the Legislature, when, after appointing
VIM. A. Dietz, Esq, VIM. w. Matthews,
Esq, and Rev. Mr.. Miller committee to
note the course of events relative thereto,
the meeting adjourned, subject to the call
of the committee to present their report.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Sunday School of
Zion Church has commenced this spring
with quite number of scholars. Among
the teachers we notice Miss Eliza Tonner,
Mrs. Electa jackson, and Mr.. VIM. FL.
Hopper.
Connected with the Zion is also society
called the Missionary Daughters of Con-
ference The President of this associa-
ton is Mrs. Jane Vreeland, lady to whom
too much credit cannot be awarded
for her able management of the affairs of
the society.
A suffrage petition from Bergen county
was presented in the Legislature of New

the schemes of Putnam, Roberts & Co.

THE ANGLO-AFRICAN AND THE N.
Y. HERALD.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the visit of the report
er of the New York "Herald" has brought
to light the limited patronage upon which
it depends for a support, | avail myself of
this method to call the attention of its
friends to the subject, that they may show
a disposition to sustain the paper as the
organ of the colored people. AS the his
tory of the several weekly papers edited
by colored men in the city of New York
and elsewhere is sufficiently known, it re-
quires no special reference to sustain the
object of this communication as sugges-
ton to enable those who are in favor of
supporting the "Anglo-African" to give
some force to their intention. The liberal
basis upon which the paper was established
can be seen by the long list of contributors
who ought to be able to make it worthy of
the patronage of the people. The mind
of an editor must be free, or he must labor
very hard to make show of any ability,
which is essential to the success of the en-
terprise.
As it is highly important that general
support should be given to the "Anglo-
African" l respectfully submit this commu-
nication to the contributors and others in
New York and Brooklyn, that they may
take up the subject in manner that will
serve as an example worthy of the atten-
ton of the friends elsewhere. Viewing
the proposition of the President of the AT.
rican Civilization Society as an indication
of good intention which may be carried
out without any reference to the debate, l
hope he will invite two or three persons to
aid in fixing upon plan to carry it out.
In the meantime an effort will be made in
Brooklyn, and if the ladies should be invi-
ted to give it their support, | think they
will give such evidence of their zeal as will
cause the editor to smile very gratefully
for the favor. LONG ISLANDER.

Sunday School was repeated on Thursday
evening last, before full house, who were
evidently well pleased with the evenings
entertainment. Rev. Mr.. Crippen, super
intendent and pastor of the church, has
left to pay visit of some weeks with his
family.
On the same evening, in the lower part
of the city, Rev. Mr.. Miller delivered his
lecture on woman" before a good house,
whose general expression was that it was
too short. The majority of the audience
this time was white. The pastor of the
church, Rev. Mr.. Hewlett, officiated at the
opening and close. Some of those. pres
ent came to see what the NEGRO" would
say, but went away impressed with the
idea that the negro is man after all, and
has powers and abilities capable of cultiva-
ton, though they be encased, for purity's
sake, in black skins
Rev. Mr.. Hawkins, of Canada, paid
visit to our city few days since. He
preached on Sunday in the Hamilton-street
Baptist Church.
A public discussion on the "irrepressible
conflict" is announced for tonight, under
the auspices of the Anti-Slavery Society,
in the lectuge-room of the above church.
VIM. j. Watkins is expected here in
few days, to labor for the causes sake.

ARLINGTON, VT, April 8, 1860

ARLINGTON, VT, April s, 1860.
Mr.. ED1roR:-I have been spending a
few DAYS in the western part of Vermont,
which all say is about right, but which
think needs some instruction in regard to
those rights of colored men which white
men are bound to respect, for In the part
where travelled | saw nothing remarka-
Bile except the spirit Of prejudice manifest
ed in regard to eating at the first table
when we put up at public house. We
went, a few days ago, to the beautiful VII
lage of Manchester, noted as being place
of resort for the fashionable from our large
cities. 1t is a small but beautiful place,
the walks being paved with white marble,
and shaded on each side with rows of beau
tiful naples. On the north of the village,
the tall mountain called the Equinox rears
its head 300 feet above the level of the
sea, and upon its lofty summit is built a
neat little cottage for the accommodation
of parties who 60 up and carry their re-
freshments with them On the south the
Blue Ridge stretches itself away as far as
the eye can reach
When we went to Manchester, we Sc
lected very common looking hotel, avoid
ing the large and splendid ones built for
the accommodation of city fashionables
On entering the hotel we were met by
rather small specimen of man, being
only between three and four feet high
who asked us in a very abrupt manner
what we wanted. Ny father asked him if
he did not keep tavern, to which he replied
that he did.
"Well," said father, eve wish to stop
with you, and would like room"
The landlord pushed open the door Of
the dining-room, where they were sweep
ing and clearing up, and said that was all
the room he had. sat down, and father
soon after went into the bar-room, when
the landlord said to him
'Why don't you put up with colored
people 7"
Because there are none that keep tav-
ern,' was the reply.
swell, / should think it would be more
agreeable to YOU
why" responded father, lit makes no
difference with us. We seldom put up at
taverns, because we find respectable fami-
lies who gladly open their doors to us, and
treat us with respect"
Well" said the landlord, ''it would be
a0re agreeable to me, for don't want to
Ssep you"
Very we'll" was the reply,"I do not

Yes, down into the tomb -
Down, down say,
To its dark depths
do not fear its gloom,
And for its shelter
Earnestly I pray.
The world is hideous-
Heaven seems afar;
Despair o'ershadows me
Its darkness to dispel,
Hope has no kindly star
All, me how frail
Are idols made of clay
How soon the soul
Deserts them, leaving dust,
And for thy high faith,
A poor, broken trust
The worship wildly poured
Out at some dearest shrine,
Incense TO its great heart,
Turns darkly back to thine
Turns back to thine,
A bitter stream,
Bearing the wrecks
Of many dream.
And the soul, all too meek
To bide the o'ersweeping flood,
A hapless victim sinks
Sinks meath the waves,
Buried with all its good.
oh let me in the tomb
From such dire fate,
Find blessed refuge,
Whence can come no nate,
Nor unto hates fell doom
