THE INAUGURATION OF TEE
RIGHT POLICY.
The adjourned mass meeting Of protesting
christians, held last evening, at Bryan Hall,
to perfect measures for memor1alizing the
President in favor Of Emancipation, was j
gathering Of great magnitude, in poInt Of
numbers, while the proceedings we're deeply
significant OF the sentiments now moving the
religious and moral citizens to action.
The spacious hall was filled to OVERT owing,
with men and women who represent the best
classes in community. Many Of the leading
churches in the city very properly omitted
thsjr regular Sabbath evening services, in
order to afford the ministers and conyrega-
tions an opportunity to be present at this
mighty gathering.
A little before s o'clock, the meeting was
called 10 order by Hoa. L. B. Otis, vino made
q fen pertinent remarks, setting forth the
object for which the people had been assem-
bled, after which, the choir from the First II.
E. Church, led bJ' Frank L1moard, sa1g the
familiar hymn, "America," assisted by
large portion Of the audience. Prayer
WAS then offered by Rev. Dr., Dempsey, Of the
Garrett Biblical Institute, after which the Sc
cretary, E. W. Blatchford, Esq, read the pro-
ceedings Of the last meeting.
Rev. DR.. Patton, chairman Of the commit
tee on memorial, read an address to the pre=f-
dent, similar in ali essential failures to that
presented at the meeting on Thursday even
ing.
After the reading Of this Interesting doeu-
ment-Whieh was heartily appl4uded-
the chairman introduced Rev. J. II. S,urte-
want, President Of the Illinois College, who
addressed the audience for about half an hour,
in an earnest, eloquent manner, enunciating
sentiments which were received By the vast
audience with unmi5takab1e Indications of
heartfelt approval. The press Of matter upon
OUT columns this morning renders it impossi-
bic to insert even An extended synopsis Of the
reverend gentleman's speech, but in to-mo1-
rows issue we shall give it to - public, YER
batim, together with copies Of the memorial
and resolutions adopted By the II =eting.
Hon. John II. Wilson WAS next introduced,
and addressed the meeting for few moments,
expressing his hearty approval Of the senti-
ments set forth In the memorial, and urg7ag
the Christian public to make their voices
heard and their influence felt in the couusels
OF the nation. He thought our rulers had too
i,.r1 x,F<
and it was now time for the people to urge
this upon them.
But one thing was necessary to save our
country, and that Was simple act of justice,
He believed that act would be performed, and
the nation preserved.
The next speaker was Rev. Dr. 7. II. Eddy,
who spoke in his usual eloquent and impas-
stoned manner, and was greeted with oft.
1epeated applause. He regarded this meeting
as the beginning Of the mighty uprising of the
free people, that should extend over the en-
| tire North, and sooner or later, be the means
Of accomplishing the grand aud glorious re
suits Of Emancipation and Peace. So long q;
| the monster sin Of human slavery stood be
tween our country and success, we shou}G
not have peace, nor did We deserve it
| But only let the shackles be stricken frou
the limbs Of our four million brethren nos
under the yoke Of oppression, and our couu
try wonld be saved. AL the dearest interest
Of the people demanded that such step b
| taken, aud that Immediately.
After Dr.. Eddy's address, collection wa
taken up among the audience to procure fund
for printing and circulating the memorial
Over SlG0 were thus contributed.
Daring the collection Of this money, Fran
Iumbard came forward, by request, and san

joining in the chorus.
The next thing in order was the vote upo
adoptidg the memorial previously read, as til
sense of the meeting. This WAS done by
rising vote, and was perfectly unaaimous-
the entire audience rising to their feet e
n:asse.

earnest, wel-timed remarks, which were re
