Cherry Hill Camp-Meetin

Cherry Hill Camp-MeetingI ~
The first week in May 1867, VII dc
memorable on accoun. Of the hold4s o.
the first Ca!np-mecting in South 3Io-
lima, since 1874, By tie old Metlpdf1
Episcopal Church.
The weather was delightful-thc cal
excellent, and the preceding powcrfl.N
Rev. J.. A. Sasportas. pastor Of NBR
mcrville circuit, managed the mcaiag
with gracious skill. and there was no tie
slightest disturbance from first to AT.
either among white or colorod, A sos&
awe seemed to pervade the c%ncampmne.
and none seemed disposed to hurs Oh
harm in all Gods holy hill. Though &e
meeting was designed specially FORTH
circuit yet there were large delegato4
from Wentworth street, Spring stest
and old Bethel churches went out NTH
their tents TO cncamp for the week, aad
added greatly to the interest Of the met
ing. Many professed to experience Tie
deep fitness of Gods love, and ahut
l25 sought and found the pearl Of g5saf
price. {
Scenes lke tie day Of Pentccost and
primitive Mcthodism were re-enactd :
1.-THE slain Of the Lord were many On
Sabbath night there were between 50 and
GO lay Us dead, at one time in the tens,
and praying circle at the stand. +
We could but exclaim "ery outsnd
shout thou inhabitant Of 1iou cr E%t
is the Holy One Of Israel in the midst d
lice" Long will the manifestationsef
the power and glory Of that night be re-
%mcmhered.
Sermons accompanied by the desnm-
STATIONS of power, were preached in fol-
loving order viz: Opening discourse BY

sentence:
BLACK mon are more deeply interest
cd in the wcll-bcing Of their race thai
any white ma can be-"
Again the same paper III its editorial
columns says:
I'VE want true representation. Let
the whites be represented according t.
their numbers, and the blacks according
to theirs also"
ia white man cannot fully appreciate
the interests C the colorcd man, then
we infer tina. it must be equally imposi-
lie for the colored man to feel for the
interests Of the whites. Hence the de-
4nuad is made that in legislation, each
class should be duly represented, that
whites may act for whites, and co!ored
Tor colored: :
The same principle is inculcated by
blacks who say they love those OF their
own color better than whites, and by
white who claim that they can feel more
deeply for the wrongs inflicted on thcil
own, than on the colored race. fit be true
that our affections, for hum nifty, should
Hbe varied by the color Of the skin, then
class legislation and representation are
to be justified.
The same principle of. scperatc inter-
csts and partial affection, is involved in
the idea that the two classes should ride
in sci a~ate cars, occupy separate sittiags
at church. receive the LORDS Supper at
separate tables, and be 1ncloNed III dis
:inct ecclesiastical organizations.
That narrow minded prejud;ccd white
people, who believe that God designed
the coiored man for slavery, should be
found to advocate the idea that the Afri-
can has distinct sensibilitics and interests
from white people, might be expected !;
but that colorcd mcn should endorse
this unchristian idea seems to us quite
strange.
1t might as well be contcndca that
persons with blue eyes cannot identify
themselves with the interests Of those Of
black eyes, as that a mar with a light
skin cannot feel full sympathy for his
brother Of a darker hue 1.-The black
man is more deeply interested in the we'll
being Of their race than the uhite man

EiTuOr at Fairs.

We heard considerable complaint
at Madison during the State Fair on
account Of liberty granted by the So
ciety to liquor dealers to sell their in
toxicating drinks on the Fair Grounds.
The same complaint is made with re-
regard to our County Fair. The ben
efts resulting to the society from the
small amount received for stand for
the sale Of liquor, are not sufficient to
balance the evil influences Of such a
stand upon the Fair Ground. A verv
arge number of persons of both sexes
who contribute literally toward get
ting up our Fairs, look upon the sale
Of intoxicating drinks as an evil that
should not be tolerated, and to encour-
ge such traffic by sanctioning it on
the grounds of the society during a
Fair. viii certainly tend to lessen its
receipts if it becomes known that liq-
uor Is there to he sold by consent of
the society. 1t is true, very little in
toxication was seen upon the Ground
during the Fair, bat the fact that liQ-
nor could there be procured was objec-
tlonable to very many Of the best
friends and patrons Of the society.
The same was observable on the
Fair Grounds at Darlington. and the
result was the largest number Of
drunken men We have seen for many
years. The matter Of permitting the
sale Of liquor on our Fair Grounds has
been brought to our attention by sew
eral individuals, since the Fair. whose
influence the Society cannot well az
ford to lose, as viii be the case if a
similar course IS hereafter pursued
Let our County Fairs be kept free
from any objection Of that kind, else
they will prove a failure

POLITICAL SPEAKING.

Gov. FAIRcHILD, Gen. T. s. ALLEN,
and Hon. AMAsA COBB, addressed the
citizens Of this place upon Political
issues on Saturday evening. The
City Hall was well filled, and the re-
marks Of the several speakers were
well received br an attentive audi
ence- The Governor spoke for about
al hour, in which time he reviewed
the course of the two political parties
from the commencement Of the war
to the present time, and it appeal- to
Us demonstrated most clearly that the
Republican party deserves well the
confidence of the people, not only on
account of their willing ef,erts in the
suppression Of the rebellion, but for
their fidelity to the interests Of the
people in every capacity both before
and since that event. He favored re-
construction Of the southern states BY
loyal men. and was willing 20 receive
and forgive rebels who manifest a dis.
position TO desire such favors, but not
until they proved themselves sufficient
ly penitent to ask the favor of pardon.
We have not room for synopsis Of
the Governor remarks, nor could we
do justice to him if we had.
Gen. ALLEN was next introduced
to the meeting, and after a few well
timed remarks, excused himself on ac-
count of the lateness Of the hour and
the fact that Col. COBB was to
address the meeting more at length.
Col. COBB, on being introduced.
spoke for short time mostly upon
the present aspect Of matters about
the National Capitol. He alluded to
the intimation in administration pa
pers that President johnson contem-
plated resistance to Congress BY force
of arms in case Of an attempt to i'm
peach him, and spoke Of the rebel or
ganization Of militia under Gov.
Swami, Of Maryland, undoubtedly de-
signed for that purpose. It was very
evident that if the copperheads sue
coed in electing a sufficient number Of
Governors in the northern states to
control the States militia, johnson
would carry into execution the threat

GlRLs.-Somebody says-and it is
true-that there are two kinds Of girls
One IS the kind that appears best
abroad-the girls that are good for
parties, rides, &c; her chief delight is
IN such things. The other IS the kind
that appears best at home-the girls
that are useful and cheerful in the din
ing room, sick room, and all the pre-
clncts at home. They differ widely in
character. One IS often a torment at
home, the other a blessing One Is a
