from the commencement Of the quarrel, with the in.
stnotive ssgacity Of their race, that this quarrel
could mean nothing to them but good, and that
the Stars and Stripes were written all over
with emancipation, and that the fire Of
this convulsion would bring out the letters
in living light to tho conscious knowledge OF
this generation. l want these four millions as
breakwater against the lalbarisn Of the South, e
tho ballast that would make this country one Union.
The lesson Of the past has been the success of agta
tiop OF appealing to tie common people TO save their
own Institutions when statesmen had not faith
enough to believe in them. When the members Of
Buchanans Cabinet stood face to face with the Com.
mittee of the Houee Of Representatives and tho
Chairman threatened them with arrest a. traitors,
II they had executed those threats and hung them,
tho slaves would have had their seryitude prolonged
another half century. The blood OF Toncey could
have saved this rebellion. South Carolina flung
down the gauntlet, and that very cannon fired at
Snmtor Gods own hand forged into thunderboIt,
and gave il 20 Abraham Lincoln to set il where il
world be victorious to-day. CheenngI When
those statesmen stood face TO face to Investigating
Committees why did Mt they publish the facts to
the world They dd ro' e IN ns o
fifteen Slave States; and too a. that saue statesman
like dsloyal.y TO the democratic idea-lack OF fat1
in the niasses-keeps them from proelaiming the
righteousness of abolishiug Slavery. Washing.

The evening meeting was held in Cooper Institute

The Rev DR.. CHEEvER was the frst speaker, ana
waa cordially received. He thought emancipation
in the District OF Columbia the greatest victory yet
