He believed that these home missionaries
had not only pot misreprescntcd the state
( Of things in R1c South, but that they had
not told half the truth about these out
RACES.
DR.. Smith was loudly and repeatedly ap'
| plauded.
Hon. VIM. Mcpherson, who was pre-
siding, expressed the hope that they would
cease to dig up the old bones, and addres:
themselves to the present work Of giving
the freedmen the Gospel. This sentiment
was greeted with applause.

Rev. DR.. J. 7. Tichenor, of Memphis,
Qate Of Alabama, } who had been invited to
speak, with the distinct understanding
that he was to "say what he pleased" and
was now urged to speak by Drs. Simmons
and Fulton, came forward to test "north.
ern magnanmity."
He desired to correct several mistakes in
reference to this work among the freedmen.
They were apt to ovcrestimate it. There
are 5.O00,0O0 Germans on the continent, and
only 4,O0O,000 colored people. He urged
his northern brethren not to neglect the
former in their eagcrness to work for the
latter.
He argued to show that the southern
Christians were and must be interested in
giving the gospel to the negroes, and told
of what they had done and were doing.
He warned the society against so cdu-
eating the negro as to make him helpless,
and against educating colored preachers

He was proceeding to give them some
very plain and wholesome counsel, when
he was interrupted at every sentence by
"points Of ORDER" all sorts of questions,
explanations, etc. At last some one asked,
''Do you believe that slavery was good for
the negro!" Upon his replying that the
negro had been elevated, civil Zcd, and
christianZed by slavery to q degree that he
could never have otherwise obtained, he
was greeted with loud and continued Kisses
al over the hall. But the mob (tor the
meeting had now become nothing but Il
mob) had mistaken their man. He was not
to be put down in such styl"-the man who
had carried his muSket in the thickest Of
the fight was not to be frightened by
the disorder of a mob. Calmly folding
his arms until, by the appeal OF the Presi-
dent and others, order was restored, he re-
peated and earnestly enforced his point, =,
and then strengthening himself up, hc said,
with flashing eye, "These are my honest
opinions, and they cannot be changed By
hisSes or bayonetS."
lie continued amid frequent interruD-
tions, until at last woman Squcaked out
some retort which brought down the house.
DR.. Il. 1t once said, q have always been
taught the highest respect for the fair sex,
and rs lady has entered the lists, / yield

took his seat.
Rev. DR.. Cutting, Of New York, now got
the floor, but he was put down by the
crowd, who vociferouslv shouted for
Grymes, the mulatto bed-fellow of DR.. Full
ton.
Grymes made n short, Radical speech
such is you have during your political CAM
paignS in Richmond, which was frequently
appIauded. But when he said that "the
blood of the two races flowed in his viens
and got along very peaceably,' the APP
pause was deatening and long-continued.
Rev. \. L. Dickinson said that neither
the North nor the South had done lis duty
towards giving The Gospel 10 the negroc.,
and that the thing to do was not to indulge
in crimination or rccrimination, bu! for
each 10 90 to work and do everything pos
sihlc for the good of these people.
DR.. Cutting persisted in being heard il
order to say that during his recent visit
South he had found all Of his brethren
there ready to do &ll in their power for the
good of the freedmen, and none mere 50
than DR.. Tchenor.
Rev. George i. Pcntecost, late OF Ken
tucky, now Of Brooklyn, tried to make Il
little capital for use IN his new field, but
Drs. Tichenor and Burrows took the ,riud
out of his sails, and he subsidized.
Thus ended the grand exhibition Of
"N orthcrn magnanmity." Your corrc-
Spondent has simply reported ii as it oc-
is proper TO say, however, that many prom
incnt Northern men deeply dep!ore this
exhibition, and are most heartily ashamed
OF it.
We continue to be treated, personally;
with the NEST marked courtesy and kind
ness. NIATOR.
