other evangelical denominations, will re
sult in a sort of self-defensive Protes
tant League. A large committee, located
at important points throughout the Union,
was appointed "to act in concert with
other committees similarly appointed by
other evangelical denominations, for the
purpose of giving expression to our de
sire for more visible fellowship, and for
securing a more vigorous co•operation in
defence of Protestant . Christianity, as
against the encroachment of Roman
Catholicism and infidelity in our land."
THOMAS C. MAIM
In the death of this good man, the
Hanover Street Church of Wilmington,
has lost one of its most valuable ruling
Elders, and the city one of its oldest and
best citizens. Mr. Alrich was born in
Wilmington, in 1791. His ancestors
were among its earliest settlers ; the
name appearing two l'undred years ago
in its annals. In a great revival in 1814,
under the labors. of Dr. Blackburn and
Rev. James Patterson, of Philadelphia,
he was, hopefully converted and made a
public profession of his faith. In 1818,
he was made one of the ruling-eldership,
which office he continued to fill for forty
seven years, with very great acceptance
to the people .and enlarged usefulness.
From the time of hiS first connection
With the Church, by his own act, he was
one of its pillars on whom its prosperity,
under God, rested. For many years, up
to the time when advancing age led him
to give the work into younger hands, he
made the house of God his constant care,
watching over its temporal affairs and
its spiritual concerns, with a zeal and
interest only second to that which he
felt toward his own household.
He was always in his place at every
public service; his absence from the sanc
tuary, or the place of prayer-meeting, or
weekly lecture, was simply an indication
of Sickness or absence from the city. His
public prayers were full of unction and
power, making a part of the memory of
two generations. The last voice in the
prayer-meeting, but two days before his
death, was his.
He was eminently a man of prayer.
There are few men who were more hab
itually and frequent in intercourse' with
God. Morning, noon, and night, and
often, on peculiar occasions, at other
periods through the day, his private
room was sought and the low murmur
of his voice could be beard. These
stated periods of prayer were never omit
ted wherever be might be, and it were
possible to observe them. He would be
missed for a while from a company of
friends, gathered in his own house, and
even in the bustle of a watering-place,
the retirement would be sought and
found, when the hour of prayer had
come.
His religion, was no merely formal
thing, but was carried out in a warm
hearted, genial intercourse with men.
This writer has never known one who
obtained a more universal testimony to
his goodness, uprightness, and thorough
ly Christian character. While in respect
to 'almost every man, some exception
would be made, in reference to him, there
was but one voice. He was an honest,
consistent Christian, with scarcely an
element to mar the holy impression of a
Christian life.
He was a thoroughly patriotic and
loyal man, ready for any measure that
would uphold the Union, or promote the
suppression of rebellion.
His death was entirely unexpected to
his family, and probably as wholly un
expected to himself. But the holiness
of his life, he intimacy of his com
munion with God, made the sudden
transition from earth only a joyful sur
prise. It was a quick awakening, to
find himself with Christ, with whom he
had lived so long; only a coming into a
seen presence that unseen had been very
real. W. A.
NORTH BROAD ST. SABBATH—SCHOOL
a. ANNIVERSARY.
The 6th anniversary of the schodls
connected with the North Broad Street
Church, was celebrated last Sabbath af
ternoon. The report read by Mr. W. E.
Camp, shows 488 scholars on the roll of
the principal school, and 260 on the roll
of the mission• or branch school, organ
ized last yeikr ; 748 in all. Contributions
in 1864, $245 46; in the first quarter
of 18654126 35; branch school, $4l 71.
A Sabbath-school has been established
in Dunkard, Greene county, Pa. ; and
one in New Jersey. The principal school
is also supporting a pupil in the Normal
school, at Beirut, at the suggestion of
Mr. Jessup. Rev. Mr. Hammond's. la
bors among the children in the city,
commenced in the North Broad Street
Church ; they are gratefully mentioned
in the report. Nearly, if not quite fifty
hopeful conversions in the principal
school and six in the mission school, are
mentioned. Addresses were delivered
by Rev. E. S. Atwood, of Salem, Mass.,
Rev. Robert J. Parvin, of Chelten Hills,
Thomas E. Potter, Esq., and the pastor,
Rev. Dr. Adams. ; The Infant-school re
cited the 90th Psalm. The singing was
admirable. The piece sung by the
branch school, was repeated by request.
The pulpit was decorated with gigantic
boquets of flowers, and the occasion was
one of unmingled satisfaction to all.
YORK, PA.—We learn, with great
satisfaction, that our church in this place
is progressing under the administration
of its new pastor, Rev. H. E. Niles. A
valuablfA accession was made to its mem
bership on the last Sabbath, of some fif
teen or twenty in number, including
several heads of families. This church
has a noble record, and, with God's bles
sing, a fair prospect that it will be none
the less bright for the time to come.
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FOR THE
FREEDMEN,
Response of the Committee on Bills
and Overtures to the memorial on ex
tending the right of sugrage to the col
ored population. Adopted by the Gene
ral Assembly Saturday May 21th.
The memorialists, in the paper placed be
fore the Assembly, ask this body to "adopt
such a deliverance in regard to" the subject
referred, to " as shall seem demanded by the
circumstances of the country at this time."
And as there 'is no doubt in respect to " the
rights of citizenship" as invested in loyal
white people, the Assembly understands the
memorial to have specially in view the case
ef the Freedmen. In their behalf it asks
for an expression of opinion as to their
"rights of citizenship." The memorialists
desire that the Freedmen, irrespectively of
the question of race or color, should be so
completely enfranchised as legally to invest
them with all the privileges usually enjoyed
by citizens of this country. This the As
sembly regards as oup of the gravest and
most solemn questions of the age.
Such a people, with such a history, sur
rounded by such a train of providences, so
large in numbers, so intimately connected
with the great struggle from which the nation
is now emerging, so patient and hopeful dur
ing the long night of their bondage, so truly
loyal and faithful to the Government in this
age of treason, furnishing such.fin important
and eminently needed service to the country
in the hour of its peril, many of them per
sonal sharers in the salvation and grace of
Christ, and all of them hitherto subject to
disadvantage social, civil, and political,
directly calculated to depress their humanity,
degrade their pursuits, and_prevent them
from realizing their proper destiny as men,
may well claini the attention of this Assem
bly. As to the duty of making the most
strenuous efforts for their education, social
elevation, and moral and religious culture—
the duty of givin g them the Bible, preaching
to them the pure Gospel, and in every possi
ble way aiding them in becoming a blessing
to themselves and country, their can be but
one opinion among all right-thinking people.
The Assembly is happy to observe an increas es
ing tendency among Christians to consider
and perform this duty. God in his provi
dence has opened the door, and he now in
vites his people to enter and reap a most
plentiful harvest.
As to the specific question of bestowing
upon this people all the rights of citizen
ship" in the great work of reconstructing
" society in the revolted States," referred to
in the memorial there may be an honest
difference of opinion among good and loyal
men. The memorialists believe that the
Government should " promptly adopt such
winciples and measures," in the reorganiza
tion of Southern society as will speedily
secure this result. They do not specify
what these " measures" should be ; but
simply ask for the speedy accomplishment
of the end. The Assembly, without under
taking to define the ways and means most
proper to be adopted for this purpose, hear
tily concurs with the memorialists in the end
sought. The Assembly, moreover, believes
that the sooner this end is gained, the bet
ter it will be for all classes. That the col
ored man should, in this country, enjoy the
right of suffrage in common with all other
men, is but a simple dictate of justice. The
Assembly cannot perceive any good reason
why he should be deprived of this right on
the ground of his color or his race. Why
then should not the black man "in the revolt
ed States," who is and " has been true to the
Country and the Flag," hundreds and thou
sands of whom have fought for that Country
and Flag, be at once included among the loyal
persons upon whom shall devolve:the task of re
constructing Southern society ? This the As
sembly thinks to be the shortest and safest
method of solving the problem most certain to
gain the result and prevent future evils. So
large a population cannot, in the state otfree
dom, be long kept contented without the enjoy
ment of common civil and political rights. 4,pos
sessing these rights, they will be in a position
to be their own protectors. The enjoyment
thereof will give them respectability, dignify
thtir labor, elevate their desires, quicken
their. moral consciousness, and waken in their
minds those hopes and high aspirations
upon which the nroper development of
humanity so largely depends. Possession of
these rights is is the quickest method of pre
paring then for their proper use. There can
be no doubt of their loyalty ; they are, and
they have been, the friends of the Govern
ment; and in this they have shown more wis
dom than most of their former masters. If
these men are fit for the duties of the camp
and the garrison, as soldiers, the presumption
is that they are not less competent for the
duties of citizenship. To this result the coun
try must come at last; and in the judgment
of this Assembly more will be lost than gain
ed by any efforts to postpone it. It is better
to meet the question at once, and settle it in
accordance with the rights of man, the prin
ciples of our political system, and the clear
indications of Divine Providence. Any pro
per efforts of those in authority looking to
wards this result, , will receive the warm sym
pathies of this Assembly ; nor can the Assem
bly doubt that they will be ultimately sustain
ed by the great majority of the American
people.
It is not the purpose of the Assembly, in
this deliverance, to argue this question at
length, but simply to indicate its conviction
in respect to the point intended in the memo
rial, and if possible, to say a word that may
serve to encourage the Government in the
discharge of its difficult duties. The prayer
of the Assembly is, that the Government
may be guided by-wisdom and justice, apply
these cardinal principles to ail classes and all
men; and that all the people, disciplined by
Providence, and instructed by the trials of
the past, may learn to practice that righteous
ness which exalteth a nation.
SOLDIERS' HOME.—Professor Saun
ders is too well known as theself-devot
ed and efficient friend of the country and
the soldier, to need any endorsement.
His labors, unsparingly and gratuitously
rendered, have, in this city, accomplished
seeming impossibilities, in the way of
procuring bounty subscriptions, and en
listments of volunteers, and thus ward
ing off conscription: His patriotic ser
vices in various ways, have been of so
high account as to secure, through a
vote of the Councils, a public expression
of the thanks of our citizens. The fol
lowing notice, which we cheerfully insert,
informs us, that he is directing his influ
ence and efforts toward what we trust is
destined to become the popular patriot
ism of the hour-of peace—the Pennsyl
vania Home for disabled soldiers.
" Many, like the undersigned, persuaded
Our citizens to enlist in the army, and take
Oart in putting down the great rebellion.
thers enforced these appeals byliberal boun
ties. Our volunteers hastened to the field
Tll AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1865
with alacrity. The result is, by the blessing
of God, peace, to be followed by unexampled
xirosperity. But many of these patriotic sol
,lvs return to us maimed and injured for life.
~1 3 IL not our duty—especially if by word or
oounty persuaded them to serve us—to
provided pleasant retreat, a very home for
the disable
efforts now in
‘ ,3, „ during their entire lives. The
progress for this object call for
earnest and iminc,di a t e attention.
Abraham Lincoln came up from the
ranks of the poor, and was ever the
friend of the poor. He fell a martyr to
liberty in the contest for freedom for all
the people. Let the place where he was
martyred become sacred to his memory.
Where the assassin thought to have
killed him, let him live forever. Let the
good people of the land purchase Ford's
Theatre and endow it with $lOO,OOO as
a school for the education of the poor,
white and black. The building is well
situated for this puipose. Such a monu
ment' would be appropriate and in keep
ing with the character of Abraham Lin
coln. T. B. 141oFALLs,

THE WASHINGTON MACHINE.-Our read
ers may be assured that the Washing Ma

columns, is what it claims : to be, and will
give great satisfaction as a sabor-saving

The machine is simple, works very easily,
does its work well, and the most delicate fab

The rates of premium are less than those of ani.
other Company covering The same risk.
No medical examination is required, and thousands
of those who have been rejected by Life Companies,
in consequence of hereditary or other diseases. can
effect insurance in the TRAVELLERS' at the lowest
rates.
Life Insurance Companies pay no part of the prin -
eine] sum until the death of the assured. The TRA
VELLERS' pay the loss or damage sustained by per
sonal injury whenever it oecure.
The feeling of security which pitch an insierance
gives to those dependent upon their own labor for
support is worth more than money. No better or
more satisfactory use can be made of so small a sum.
