Tna nnnl terser jr of IhU tlme-honored Inatttntlon aree held Inst flight at Ibe, Academy of Mono, 7t aatemblafc Blithered n A splendid one, auca ft In keen otily upon like oocaaione wlthlo the walls of tb Academy. The. entlra proscenium and the two upper row of boie were compactly fill a, and many moat respectable people, were, seated ID thai uppermost tiers. Prof. Haealer'e or. ' atiestrit .ay eiceetllnuly fin mimic on theocca sion, ectitlrifr, a the omcrri and (diwli of the association entered opun the platform, in fine ttylt, Boppe'a 'l'irtt and reasnnt" lis an overture, and afterward some other cnpltnl piece. The platform was ft well filled M the, rest of the boose, wlib an aaemtlne:e. of gentlemen wbo have made Phllticlelphlii, In a mercantile point of view, wbhtshe now I. The snme clefs of people gathered at the Academy last night ere eeen as sembled upon no other occnsloii than these anni veraarles of the Mercantile Heneflnlnl Assm'lntlon. Mr O. Iiudwlr. Tresldent of the aeeoalmlon, And tbe officers ot the Association, formed a semi circle, of which he constituted the nrc. Mr. I.imwlg Announced that Senntor Onttell, of New Jersey, wonld take the chtilr. i Mr. Oetteil therefore came forward amid hearty Applanse, And said! lAdtes and ttentlemen: When, a fortnight Afro, the committee ot the Mercantile lleneflcml Association honored me with en In tlis'lnn to speak for them to-night, I wn obliged to decline the h inor, upon the ground thstmy pressing engagements prepara tory to leaving home for the winter would not Allow me time for enoh preparation as the canse And the occasion demanded. Subsequently I con vented to preside nt the meeting, hot with, as I thought, the dlntmnt understanding that 1 Was not expected to make a speech. ,So, ladies and gentlemen, 1 beg to assure yon that It Is no part of mv purpose to Indict npoit yon A speech; for although, of late It has become quite common for chairmen, taking advantage of their early possession of the floor, to Indulge In extended remarks, and thne oconpy the time properly be. longing to the regular speakers, I nm sure yon will agree with me in the opinion that It Is a euatom "more honored In the breach than the oberrance." I do not propose, therefore, to trench upon the time Of the dtstingnlehed gentlemen who are to address jou to-night. Nevertheless, as I Am upon my feet, 1 cannot refrain from laying a word or two In honor of the ennobling profession to which I am proud to belong, and In advocacy of the claims of the beneficent institution whose anniversary we celebrate to-night. I am sure I shall do no in justice to other honor able end Important professions, or be considered , as disparaging them In the least, when I claim that In this goodly city the mercantile profession te the most Important and Influential of all. The manufacturing interest of our city Is an import ant element of our greatness aud one of the sources ot our prosperity. It maybe enld to be the bono rndslnew and muscle of onr body politic: but it Is trade And commerce that constitute the great heart whose mighty pulsations send the life giving cur. rent thiough all the arteries and veins of oar ma terial Interests. It will not be denied that to the enterprise and energy and capital of onr merchant we tire , chiefly Indebted for our magnificent system of in ternal Improvements; onr lines of railways, before . which even the Alleghenlee bow their heads to make a highway for the Iron horse, as he speeds over hill end valley, mountain and stream, na If in chAse ot the setting sun; our telegraphic wires, stretching from the Atlantic, to the golden shores of the Pacific, and from the snow clad hills iof the north to the tepid waters of the Oulf. annthlla'ing space, so far as the transmlKsion of ideas are con cerned; onr canals and local railways, vrhlch . open up our inexhaustible supplies of coal And . Iron, Always the twin sister of clvllitAMon; our coastwise line of eteamrhlps, and a bnndred other klndredenterprli.es that have built np and pros pered your great city, and developed the illimit able resonrces of your great commonwealth. The true merchant must necessarily be a man of enlarged ldeae and comprehensive view. The very nature and spirit of bis profession calls him to the careful consideration of all the means that can be devised to develop the resonrces and pro mote the material interests of hie country. Ills owa Individual prosperity depends, more than that of any other class, on the general prosperity of the whole people. His Interest lies In stlmnla- r ting production, whether of the Held, the forest or the mine: In facilitating and cheapening travel, and in multiplying means of transportation. In ' short, whatever tends to promote a higher civili sation and Increase the wealth and power of a na tion promotes the welfare of the merchant. : Tbe merchants ot Philadelphia have not bten unmindful of their duty and Interest In this di rection, and yet I mnst be permitted to say, as I speak to merchants to-night, that if Philadelphia Is to keep pace with the spirit of the i.ge, there mast be jet greater efforts and loftier achieve ments in this direction. Yon must enlarge and strengthen yonr new southern line of steamships, so auspiciously commenced, and so ably managed by the present board of directors. You must pnt half million, or even a million of dollars more in the enterprise to make It what It shonld be a I ' decided sncces. Nay, more: you must, ttoless yon mean Inglorionsly to surrender what la left of - yonr foreign commerce, establish and sustain your own line of transatlantic steamers. Locking at the stupendous march of yonr sister city In this direction, yon mnst speedily awake to youf duty and inten st before it is too late. Hut more than this, while I claim for the mer chants ot Philadelphia that they have always en toyed a high repntatlon tor enterprise and honor. e dealing, I also claim that they have added to their fair fame by the exhibition of a sublime spirit of benevolence and philanthropy, worthy i of all commendation. There are, perhaps, fifty charit able institutions In onr city, such as hospitals, tsvlume, homes lor friendless children, for the aged and Infirm, for the blind, the deaf and damn, the Insane, and many others, whib are the pride, of our city, and stand brilliantly out, like to many terns In onr crown of gWuy. Oo search the records ol those institutions so generously provided for the relief ot suflensg hu manity, and yon will find that they have bien es. tahlisbed, supported and endowed by the princely liberality of Philadelphia merchants. If you would see a striking Illustration of what a Phila delphia merchant has done for hi race, go over to yonder anarble palace, the finest specimen ot ar chttectnre in our land, a thing ot beauty which la a joy forever." and look upon the happy faces of two hnndred orphan bovs, who are housed and fed and clothed and educated by the munificent charity f a single Philadelphia merchant the late Srephen Oirard. I claim, then, that the merchants ot Philadelphia are justly iietinpnlthel for their enterprise as merchants, and their benevolence as citizens: but even more than this, and what to me is the crown ing glory ol Philadelphia merchants ot the pre sent day, is the record of their steadfast patriotism, and unflinching devotion to the canse ot their im perilled country through the long niht of civil war from which we have to recently emerged. From the hour when the flag of the Vnion went down el Snmter until it was raised again in tri umph over its shattered and blackened walls, amid the shouts of a gratefnl people, the merchants of Philadelphia, wuh an unanimity perhaps ur.paral leled, stood by the p-overnroerit in its gigantic struggle to crnsh treason and save the nation' lite never wavering in the darkest hours re spending promptly to every call for rasn or ' money, and exercising a snblime faith that scorer or later the tionor and supremacy of onr glorious flag would be proudly roaintsined. They adopted as their motto the words of the poet: Stand by tbe flag all doubts and treason scoriang ; lielieve with courage firm and faith snblime, That it will float, until the eternal morair g, Pale in Its g lories all the lights of time' rtod be praised for the earnest loyalty and nn ' fliiiebing patrioUfcin of the raercbatm 0 Philadel phia, a id all honor to the men wh6, olstmtuisheJ for their enterprise, their Intelligence and integri ty, have added to the sublime virtues, of ttenevo ience and patriotism. And now, feilow-cltizeiiSi permit me to close Yy commending to you the Mercantile Beneficial Association, as one of the benevolent Institutions ol your city which has peculiar claims upon you, as merchant, foT a generous euprort. It t an in stitution of yonr own, composed of merchants, managed by merchants, and for the benefit of mer chant when overtaken hy storm of adversity. Yon know full well that the merchant's oareer I one ot peculiar peril. In tvade and commerce o much depends on element entirely beyond the control of the Individual, that tbe merchant's lite 1 necessarily one of vicissitude. Burns must have had oar profession in his eye when he said, .. "The beet laid scheme of mloe and men Ganf afiaglee." - Thl Institution, of oureej,oe not pretend that Jt c alter thin law of trade. It only proposes thai merchant ehall, in their years ot proeperity, ooniribote to a fund upon wiiinh they will have a j-.ialm It miafortnne should ceme to them. Tros, ,n mn never need tbe Sooietv's kindlv aid iXrut irrsat vou never mav: but it la worthy of your support upon the leea selflbh and far nobler Idea, that you will thus mlnlstsr to the pressing snts of others le.s for'unate than yourselves. I, (idles, I thank you for your presence to-night, nd permit me to bg for tble association yor powerful influence. Voa are Interested In It sue ss. I speak to-night to tne mothers, wive and sister of merchants, Knconrage your eon and husbands and brothers to give a generou support to Ibis purely mercantile enterprise. Most of them 1 dare tay will never have occasion to claim Its friendly office. Hut some of them may, and If they shonld not, assuredly there are others that will, and surely u will ever be a pleasant reflec tion that yon have, by yoor generous support of this Institution, given timely aid to som upon whom tbe shadow of misfortune bat fallen, who were once a prosperous and a happy and Joyou as you are to-night. The annual report was now read by William II. I.ove, Ks(j , Necreiary. It has already appeared in our column Hev. Alfred Oookman wa then Introdnced. He snld Hint this evening he felt mingling emotions of pride and thankfulnee that, as a Phlladelphlnn, be was a citizen of no menn el'y, And of thankful ness that his lot had been cast In tbe Olty of Hro theily Love. He wa proud that he lived In a clly I tint had so many monuments of benevolence. Philadelphia, grander than Home or Athens, or any ancient city, ha It Ulrard tlollege, It mer cantile benellc.liil associations, It many noble charities. II the Mother of the Gracchi, pointing to her children, said: "These are my jewels," the city of Philadelphia, pointing to Institution like these, can say with pride: "These charities are my Jewels." This angel of brotherly love, brnring the bright signet of Jieaven upon Its beautiful brur, 1 orga Dixit g a succession of brotherhoods, all mutually fepeiiilenl, Tble association Is one of them. Out side nt them Ml we ha ve our great national bro therhood, foully and fearfully assailed during the lest lew years by the demon of slavery. And What heart will not thrill to-night with toy when we see Mint our nntionnl brotherhood still remains Intact, that universal liberty and equal rights (applause) promise a nobler, more glorious and hcauHful compact in the future than In the pus. I i (Ap plause.) Men of thought, and action are clearing the way. 'W e are taking In the Idea of a world's brotherhood. W recognlxe beyond all this, however, a brother lit od still wider a brotheihood that makes no In quiry concerning race or color or country. It ntks only Is he a human being, and It so, he shall rrcelve our care, onr sympathy and onr love. We then lake In a Christian brotherhood, a mul tltnde that no man can number, that have crossed the Hood, niid are now In the golden glories of heaven. What a splendid brotherhood! Is not thl a conception n Inspiring a It I complete! If we can foster such a feeling of brotherhood, then we are aiding the fostering of all brother hood npon this earth. Are not these brotherhoods a eerie of concentric wheels I The outside wheel, tie Christian brotherhood, may not move a It should do. Had we In the llrst place acted upou the principle that all men were free and equal, that wheel ot national brotherhood need not have been Interrupted, and then the wheels of social and mercantile association might not have been retarded In the uniformity of their movements. The speaker then referred expressly to the Mer cantile lteneflclal Association. The effects of the organization must be security, sympathy, benevo lence just n we look most to the specllio and fun damental principles of the Christian religion. Liet this brotherly love spread, and not only will the homes of these benetlclaries, but your own homes, and the home of all onr people, be irradiated with the sentiment of brotherhood. Concord shall then be at the gate of entrance to this fraternity. ' Reli gion shall be guardian angel, and above a the trlped flag of freedom shall float with the blood stained llag of Calvary. Very beautlttilly the speaker alluded to the good time oomlng, when tne spirit of brotherhood, now at work in the world, shall accomplish Its mission. Only last 1 night these walls echoed the noble sentiments of Henry Vincent, tbe eloquent Hriton, who 1 laboring for the cause of universal brotherhood. A few nights before stood the noble patriot Justice Chase; the Christian soldier, with his empty sleeve, General Howard, and the nohle jurist wbo dared to do his duty, Judge Hond, of Baltimore, all speaking for universal fraternity. (Loud applause ) , The speaker concluded by a graceful allusion to Senator Cattell as a type of the merchant of Phila delphia, and Invoked the Divine blessing npon the Mercantile Beneficial Association of Philadelphia. Bev. Phillip Brook wa then Introduced He could claim, be said, neither the privilege of being, like bis predecessors, a Philadelphian nor a mer chant. Therefore, Instead of speaking to the spe cial glory of Philadelphia merchants, of which other could so much better speak, be would speak rather of commerce and ot the mercantile charac ter in general. He referred to the Queen city of the Adriatic, over which tbe modern ltAlinn'flag is now floating, and to the age when she was tne queen ot mercantile cities. Now tbe merchant has taken the place of the primitive syslem of trade, when small vessel crept along the coast. Virgil, In his fourth eclogue, writing ot the Golden Age, paiiite that era as a time when commerce shall be no more, and when each nation shall produce all It requires. The Poet Laureate of Victoria, two thousand years later than the Poet Laureate of Au gnstns, draws a picture exactly the reverse. It Is in the merchant that the highest spirit of the age Is exemplified. Emerson tells us that a little slip of paper can go half over the world, and there exem plify tbe confidence of one man, the integrity of ibe other. This truth teaches a man to keep his word; and the blgheet testimonial to the integrity of the merchant is that the man in India, who never saw him, never will see him, relies upon his piece of paper, and accept it for the value inscribed upon it. ' The speaker referred to the patriotism of the merchants of the rortli. They have established its standard. Had the merchants held back during our late struggle, liberty wonld have been lost to us forever. The Christian merchaut everywhere is the corservator ot onr Institutions. Thespeaker eloquently described the character and responei. bllltii s of the merchant, and drew a picture cf the upright man, whoee ledger to him was a holy book. He called attention to the glaring extrava gance of the timet, and warned hi auditors, as a people who were largely the exemplar of society, again&t setting an example of extravagance, espe cially on the eve of a season that promises to be one of great difficulty in business, and one of suffering to very many. The speaker looked forward to the coming win ter as one of great depression, lie hoped that the merchant's family wonld not set the exampfe In extravagance that shonld lead others in the vain endeavor to vie with them, into the path of mm. To do anything like justice to nch speaker as we had last evening is impossible. Tbe addresses will he printed by the Society in pamphlet form, for general distribution. The fxerctt-e closed with excellent mnstc. THS PFTLAPKirHIA, GkEMAKTCWK at Nor. risto'w n Kailboao. From Col.
