Meeting OF CoInntttcea-LocatIo OF
the Tent Decided Upon.

Pursuant to adjournment, the several Com
mittces met ut the Mercantile Association
rooms, last evening, DR.. Brainard in the clair.
The Business Committee reported upon the
subject Of location, that after thoroughly can
vassing the subject, they concluded to pitch
their tent on the Lake shore, north Of Park
Row. Dearborn Park would have been pref
erab1c, but was denied them. On motion, the
report was accepted and adopted.
The Committee on Finance, through G. q.
Wicker, reported that the appropriation re-
ouestcd from the Council was laid over under
the rule, and therefore cannot be depended
upon, positively; but he had faith that lioe-
raj appropriation would be made at their next
meeting.
Colonel Foster suggested the propriety Of
securing pages and local secretaries, in order
to facilitate the business Of the several Com
mittees.
Discussion brought forth the decision that
this is grand mass meeting, and that any
man interested in the furtheraucc Of this
great enterprise will be considered delegate,
and That the matter of voting in Convention
would be determined at the organization o1
the Convention.
After spending considerable time in discuss,
ing certain matters Of importance, but not ot
public interest, the meeting adjourned to
Thursday evening next.

There is another advance step which Eng.
land expects from America-it Is not only
that Freedom be made universal, but that
you will educate, elevate and improve the
colored race. We have had our attention
drawn towards the statutes Of your State,
shutting out the black man from citizenship,
and could only meet the Arguments BY al]nd-
Ing TO your common schools aud educational
privileges, England looks to America to
come out boldly and nob1y aud to establish

The speaker closed his able md wel1-rc.
ceired remarks By stating that he had great
confidence In the ultimate winding up Of this
rebellion, paid joint tribute to onr army
and navy, and the seemingly incxhanstible re-
sources of the North and of the Northwest,
which, notwithstanding the war, are doing as
much business, apparently, as ever before,
and he hoped that the prosperity Of the
