Fred,s MuIatto Convention.

OF all the congregations of fanatics
that ever convened upon the face OF
the earth, we suppose that which Fred
Douglass lately engineered at Phila-
delphia was the most complete type.
There was the bIear-eyed, drunken,
slave driver, Jack Hamilton, the Draw
ling, quarrelsome, blasphemous, jack
legged preacher Brownlow; the hypo-
critical, bread and butter Speed and
Harlan, who held on to office under
Johnson, long after his policy was de
fined, and until literally kicked out
The octoroon, Randolph, from Louis
lana. and the kinkey headed Douglass,
from New York; Tilton, the open adj
vocate of amalgation; Butler, the
Beast, who issued his order that the
ladies of New Orleans should be treat
ed as women of the town plying their
usual avocations. Anna Dickinson,
the strong minded bloomer female wo-
man. Gov. Morton, well, all we have
to say is, he got as close as he could
to the gentle Anna. Simon Cameron,
who was driven out of office by his
own party for plundering the public
too openly; club footed Thad-
deus Stevens, whose mistress is a
saddle colored negro wench and
whose master is the devil himself.
Senator Wilson, who prates of God
fearing men and women" and yet fur
nished the soldiers shoes with buttons
of paper and glue. Henry S. Lane,
who declared in caucus that rather
than the States should be uncondition-
ally reunited and his friends turned
out of office, he would sit on the
points of bayonets all summer But
why individualize; in word, the ex.
tremes of fanaticism met. There was
the long haired spiritualist and the
crop haired puritan of Boston. The
long bearded gambler and the swag
gering, tonguey slave auctioneer, of
New Orleans. They all met upon one
common ground or platform-negro
suffrage, the equality of the races
The ,anatics of the two extremes were
determined an avowal in regard to
their favorite doctrine should not be
delayed. The trembling representa-
tives of the same doctrine from New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, In
diana and Illinois, in vain implored
them to postpone sucn an open avow
al until after the fall elections. They
even resorted to the subterfuge of
patting forth, as the action of the
meeting, an address and resolutions
limiting strongly at the desired end
taking open ground for the constitu-
tional amendments, and privately
promising that, if adopted, they
would stretch them to meet the favor

Cincinnati and the President.

The city authorities of Cincinnati,
with a meanness truly contemplate,
refused to award the courtesies due
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic,
to the President on his late visit to
that city. This disreputable conduct
of their officials will in no wise affect
President Johnson, but it may injure
the business of that city. 1t will be
used to divert Southern trade to Lou
isville and st. Louis, and will be re-
membered by Southern merchants, to
the prejudice of Cincinnati The
Louisville Journal in commenting on
it says:
The citizens appear to have been
conscious of the disreputable conduct
of their officials, and to have made up
for the intended and scurvy slight to
the National Executive as far as pos
sible by giving him a warm and gen
erOus welcome. Hence, the public
should carefully distinguish between
the course of the surly political ma
lignants of Cincinnati and her noble
and patriotic citizens. The address of
welcome to the President delivered by
Hon. w. S. Groesbeck was admirable
in tone and temper, and we doubt not
truly reflected the opinions of the most
respectable and enlightened citizens,
not only of Cincinnati, but of Ohio.

sThe Good Time Coming" of which all may
read-in the daily papers OF the city, is the en-
tertainment to be given in the City Hall to-
naorroac evening, by the Young Ladies Of the
or. f. Society,"" IN aid of the Freedmen. They
propose, ia addition to Promenade Concert,
to surprise the audience with some attractions
of surprising beauty and interest. "Fhe Ar
lists Dream" win be represented by series
of fine tableaux, which cannot fail to please,
and then the pantomime Of "Bluebeard" will
afford food for reflection to at least two
classes of iadies,-those who think that we'd
ded life, to be happy, must be "clothed in pur-
pie and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every
day" and those whose curiosity predominates
over their prudence. - - - I
The emit -rtainments of this Society Of
young ladies are worthy of particular atten-
ton from all classes, and make strong ap-
peal to the generous support of all. because OF
the objects had in view and to promote which
the receipts, are devoted. 1t is no private cor
poration, or even denominational enterprise
that these young ladies seek to promote. They
work not for selfish or restricted objects, but
rather for those objects the benevolence of
which is patent to all and can be denied by
none.
The proceeds Of their entertainment will be
paid over to the Freedmen's Aid Association,
to be used by that society to assist its great
work Of educ ating and elevating those hither-
to down-trodden and oppressed people who,
by the power Of the Government rather than
by any ART of their own, have had freedom
suddenly thrust upon them, and with it all the
cares, responsibilities and duties which apper-
tain to their new condition.
The Freedman's Aid Association in its work
of benevolence and christian love, appeals to
all for aid. 1t has no other sources of reve-
nue.; it lays its claims before philanthropic
people, and it asks of them, in their own way
and by means Of their own selection, to raise
money to enable it to 60 forward with its
work. 1t forbids no one to aid in casting out
the devils Of ignorance and brutality from the
mind5 Of the freedmen, because Of differences
in creed, in political opinion, orson nice ques-
tiols % ethics. Il ask, only the feeling heart
and taa ne ping hand. Whether the required
aid is extended through the church, the lee

amuse-lent, tits equally acceptable, and will
