tFrom the Philada. Post, March 2si.l
The Fifteenth Amendment has killed two
Influential rganizations-the Philadelphia
Female nti-Slavery Society and the Demo
cratic party in this city, These unreentine
foes perish on the same field, and will lie
side by side in the tomb. We are glad to
part with both Of them; with the first be.
cause it is no longer needed to help the right;
with the second because it is powerless fol
harm.
1t is announced in our advertising col
umns that the annual meeting of the Phla-
delphia Female Anti-Slavery Society will
take place on Thursday, when the thirty sixth
and final report will be read. Miss Mary
| Grew, for years leading member of the
society, and one of the best workers the
cause Of freedom ever had, is our authority
for saying that this is expected to be the last
meeting of the society. 1t proposes to dis
band because the Fifteenth amendment has
placed the black man on the same basis of
legal and political freedom as the white man,
and we have no doubt that the proposition
will be endorsed by all the fir ends of eouali-
ty. Thus this society which has fought SO
long and achieved so much, will die irium-
phant. 1t will expire in glory, and only
ceases to exist because it need no longer
live.
On the other hand, we learn that the
Democratic Association of Pennsylvania is
on its last legs. This is the celebrated band
Of politicians who have met for years ut
Ninth and Arch streets, and fulmina-
ted thence their procamations against the
progress of the age, and damned the col
ored man so far as their limited damua-
tory powers extended. There Coffee-pot
Wallace ruled, and divided his honors with
the celebrated Democratic Warming Pan,
whose immortal name we are base enough
not at present to remember. Cursing, how
ever, could not stop the revolution of the
earth, and the Democratic Association of
Pennsylvania has been compelled to sur
render to the DEGREES of thirty States. Dis
gusted and defeated, the Association has
come to the wise conclusion that it is no
longer needed, and night before last Col.
Logan offered the following resolutions:
Is Whereas, The Democratic Association
of Pennsylvania has fulfilled the purpose for
which 1t was created, and being in u health
full political and financial condition; be it
ReSOtVed, That a committee of five be |
appointed by this meeting, one of whom |
shall be president who shall examine into |
the expediency Of settling the liabilities of
the association.
Resolved, That the said committee, or |
a majority of them, have the power to dis
solve this organization by the the LIST prox-
imo, and report at a meeting to be held on |
the Goth of this month.
ReSOlUed, That the conclusion arrived |
at by majority Of the committee be final" |
Mr.. Lewis g. Cassidy (who is such lbe-
raj politician that we almost claim him him |
as Republican, succeeded in defeating that |
resolution which gives the committee the |
power to dissolve, and with this amendment |
the resolutions were adopted. The question
of continuing or dssolving the Association
will be decided on March 30, and there can |
be no doubt of the decision. Mr.. Cassidy |
said (this is our own language, not his, but |
is sufficiently expressive, that he didn't care |
a continental milldam whether the Associa. |
tion maintained its dignity or hoped the |
twig, and his indifference is doubtless shared |
by all good Democrats. We think it may |
safely be assumed that the sacred building |
at Ninth and Arch streets will be turned in |
to a Lager Beer saloon or Faro Bank. |
To such base uses may we como AT last.
