The meetiUK waH called together at the appointed bour, and J. K. Aertsen, Esq., was mude pre flldma. oliieer. W. Kncti Winter acted ai Sec retary. The report of the Association lor the year ending March 31, 1807, was read. From it wp learu that the Association is auxiliary to Hie Wompn's Central Branch in Philadelphia, Its objects for the past year have not beeu so much to provide for the physical and bodily wants of the recipients of itn charity, as for their mental advuueement aud intellectual growth, although the former has not beeu torgottpn. for laree suunlies of tipwIv L made cloining and other substantiah have been I fnrwnrilnrl VlV lhl hpniVftlnnt Imlm. n. t, Vn.,A - - - . . ...... j . , . , v. ..v, uv nun n nuu ii a t r the matter in charge. Nine barrels, one box, and one bag, numbering tn ail 817 garments, not cniifi. crating large quantities ot second hand clothing, books, and candies (the latter as Christinas presents), and valued at nearly $1000, have beeu forwaroid thus showing that, the Gcrmantown branch has not been idle during the past twelve months. At the conclusion of the reading of the annunl icport, the President introduced to the audience ' REV. C. W. SCIIAEFFEn, who said that, but t-hort distance away, on the banks ot the Wissahiekon, some public-spirited individuals had erected a beautiful and substan tial iountam, gushing forth from which were sweet waters to cool the tongue and allay the thirtt; and over the fount from which the wateis were showered forth were inscribed the words, "For the public good" a motto well known and of ancient origin. Here, to this cool fountain, came all the old, the young, the great, the small, the African, the Caucasian to be refreshed. But not only wns this done, but iis succe-s iar surpassed the antieipatious of its lounders. Surrounding it worn rolling lands and grassy plats, clustered with woody knots and garden of flowers, all contributing to mHke tue scene surpassingly beautiful; so that travellers not only could slake their thirst, but lor the lew moments of their stay could refresh their minds by a look on the invicing prospect around. And many a spirit of philan thropy found there a new' impression of the leeson of benevolence, and was encouraged to uiu).'i- in more energ'nc laoar ior me doing J of good lo its tellow-uien, and many a Christian 1 heart was incited silently to offer thanks to God, i "the Giver of all good and perfect gilts." I The speaker then entered into a comDarlson oetw een tnat gift tor t tie good of their fellow-men and the organization of which ihit meeting formed the second anniversary. The meeting might be made more available, more powerful, more comprehensive, than one would have a right lo suppose, even from external appear ances, as it is understood the patriotic ladies of Germant jwn have organized this meeting in the sense ol a "thank offering," and to have the conpregated public, by their Attendance, give expression of their support and aid in this noble movement. Their report has been presented, to let these kind friends know what has been the nature ot and bow arduous their labors, and now wipcij ineir cunsuan county nas oeen ais itributed. And now are seen the fair and beau tiful plants of morality which are springing up litrong, consequent upon fheir labors. Our land Jhas been for years the scene of dire conflict and confusion. The fierce and destructive storm has raged arouna us, ana nas leu many a wreck ana many a ruin in iis path; and thousands of our fellow citizprs could afford to shed tears of sorrow veu until this day. But out of this national contusion and terrible turmoil we came forth saved. This nation saw the dawn of peace by the providence of Him who, out ol tbo awful coniusiou of chaos, perfected this universe. We must prosecute this benevolent work with re newed interest, never flagging, but looking to the . i . . v. : . 4 1. .. I ,. ( n 1 rhi.tlnni..,n A our fellow-men. The treed man is not, as an in 9 dividual, a great man, but the freedmen in the T . 1 J i : , 1 . : Sfffiregaie auu lu vueir suuih.1 position are nir representatives ot immense wealth. The large plantations of the Soutu and princely residences and establishments at the North have been bought by many stripes, and blood untold. The freedmen have intellect, they have the desire to learn, and they have the capacity to be in struct ed They need none kind-hearted persons to teach them.'in order that the primary rules and laws of education may be firmly impressed upon their tender minds. ' Persons are wanted who will t?o down with genrlem-ss and kindness, with Christian charity, and place themselves beside this datkenod race, and labor earnestly to elevate until they attain the stature of their full manhood, with all the enjoyments of libertv and edue ition. How to do this is the point at issue. Shall the United States undertake it? This it cannot accom plish. Shall this wort be left entirely to the management and direction of former slave ninord find torhid ! The North, with Its cltl- (j zens, individually and collectively, must, with I hearts filled with compassionate love, curry this inteilip,ence to the freedmen, teaching them Christianity, and thus placing them in a posi tion where they will honor themselves snd the country which has been so benevolent to them. Catry oa this good work, cease not, labor steadilv and with a Christian zeal aud a Christian spirit, and you will see civilization and Christianity advancing steadily and rapidly into higher position. The reverend gentleman spoke at leneth aud was often applauded. The next speaker an nounced wa GENERAL B. P. MCSSET, who remarked that, according to statement, this meeting was the ladies' "ihank-otleriug." Should you step into your.'earden, you would see that all the plant and sweet flowers are putting on the garb ot summer.

We are not goinw to free you l You may think so, but time will prove differently." He replied what he said is being brought about, and will soon culminate in his accession to freedom and liberty in tho fullest eensp. Now we have come to know that the neeroes, having minds quick to learn, with capacities tor instruction considering thpir life-long bondage equalling, if not surpassing, those of the Southern whites, and anxious to acquire knowledge, need a more direct and special attenfion given to their intMIPcUiul standing. Let their mind be enlarge. I, thus opening avenues of usefulness to them wherein they can labor aud gain a substantial and honest livelihood. Let educational opportunities be given them. Be their friends-for you ow? them a debt cou-, traefpd by their opportune aid in the war, which you never can pay and you 'can never be their true friends until you allow them their civil and political rights; thus giving them the power of using all advantages for developing and pnliirging their minds witn knowledge, and advancing themselves onward in the path of civilization. Let this be done. Let the ladic not lay aside this noble organization the "Freedmen's Aid Association" as a thlug only of tbe past, but let them know that its power is more potent now than evpr, and its use felt to a greater degree than ever belore. Let all work earnestly, steadily, aud patriotically for the civilization of this race of colored brethren. (Applause.) The remarks of General Musey were followed by others from the REV. PHILLIPS BROOKS, who said that it was to him a pleasure to engage in the exercises ot any treediuen's meeting. He bad watched with great iuterest the meotings held for their aid, to learu whether or not that zeal and earnest spirit was mauilest among the workets and suppottcrs of the association now, which should characterize all meetings having such a noble and charitable object iu view. For the question was now assuming an aspect of Great importance. It was to open a new field of labor. It was to raise a race which, since the fourteenth cpntury, had been bound in the bitterest chains ot servitude, and in so far as it was now exciting the attention of all, it had become the ereat test question of the times. If we look at the past history of the freed men's work, we will at once notice the various kinds of enthusiasm which tended to incite the worker in the lreodmcn's behalf to diligence Three successions of enthusiasm, each iu its turn advancing one step beyond tne preceding, and each engendered as tne capacities and abilities of the negro was brought out during the struggle of the past six years. First, we saw In the liberation ot the slave accessioa to our physical strength; we saw the possible means of strengthening our own position, while that of our enemies was greatlv weakened. Then we became enthusiastic in a military man ner, realizing that the ai.-cesion of the negro power to our own would avail us greatlv in determining the contlict. Time rolled ou, the negro became more associateJ wit'a us and nleutitiPd with our cause, and the rebound of that intense hatted of treason and rebellion caused us to love patriotism aud valor iu all persons. Hence we passed through another fluctuation of enthusiasm, which was then to elevate the negro out of gratitude for his in valuable works and labors for us. We aomired his devoted attachment to our cause, his unswerving loyalty, his bold patriot ism, and his bard struggles against the odious crimes that bad been perpetrated by the South. For this we sought to give him our protection, and tried to advance bim in all possible ways incited so to do for the deeds of valor and courage which he had performed. But we came to a third enthusiasm, and that was when we dis covered that he was a man. Immediately this enthusiasm rolled down to that class which had been separated from us by an ocean ot color, and touched the centre of the great moral globe. Then we first were filled with the en thusiastic feeling towards the negro, because we had just learned that he was human, and sepa rated as we were from the great order of brutes. And we were astonished aud amused at our own doctrine. Wheu he opened his mouth and dis played his ivories, or rolled hi; eyes in a won- oenng manner, or lanced, we mutteted to our selves in astonishment, "Can it be that tnis stranpe being is a man;" but we soon learned that, both outwardly and Inwardly, the anatomy ol his Usure corresponded with that of our own. When we found Unit this curious being could read and recite his ABC's, put his letters together, and read, we grew more enthusiastic, and sent him books, and sent teachers tor his instruction, and erected schools, where his children might be gathered in. Then, seeing that they progressed so finely, we would fain leave them now to shift tor themselves, after we had placed them upon the right path, and had given them a right start. We must put all such thoughts aside. We must so teach and elevat3 them that the people of the South will of neces sity honor and respect them. Then tee world of autaaonlsm between the whites aud negroes will ceap, and they will be lorcel to recoenize the lawiul claims ol the former slave: and as the idpa of humanity becomes more and more familiar, it will beam to incite a reaction in the hitherto ritnkliuu b isoms of the whites, aud cause liarnioniou' feeling. We have got to see how tar tho duly of humanity, as citizens towards citizens, excites the euthu'siasm, enlists the sympathies, and meets the approval of all our people. The interest taken ic the freedmen's meetings ouuhi to be more diffusive and earnest. See what the negro has commenced to do; look at the dutv which now lies plain before you. and which bids you move ouward surly and steadily for jour own aud your countiy's good. Jt is simply the duty tnat wp, as American citizens, outrht to exercise to one another, especially to those citizens who come into our com puu y askiug for help. Think of the young girl who starts from Pniladeiphla all alone, deny ing herself all lhose comforts of love and the association of friends, aud going into the South among a clasa ot people prejudiced, cold, and unsympathetic, meeting wi' h neglect aud cruel treatment. She starts out through tho desolated fields aud dismal woods to tiud hpr scholars; she finds, scattered fur apart, colored families, tilled with sympathy for her hard ships and trials; she gains' the promise of a lew scholars; but looking lor a place wherein to teach iheiu, she receives no aid troni the whites, nor will any ot them board her. Day alter day, weeks, months, she toils unceasingly, to try, in her own leeble way, to liht up the dark ened minds of tuat beuiuuted people, aud lead tbetn on lo a higher life. Such trials and endurance as that, volun tarily Imposed, should be an example to oe followed by all of you. if not withm the dismal precincts of a devasta'-ea and ueail.y rumed South, at least at home, where you may aid in the shape of materials und Influence. The Freed nieu's Aid Association has now in operation ubove 60U schools throughout the South, ave raging each 70 scholars, making a total ot 35,000 under instruction at the present time. Other societies and nrganizattous buve, in addition, about 12(10 schools, averaging B0 scholars, making about 75.O00. Tne.-e schools are scat tered througnout the whole South. I believe there is a work going on of which we shall soon see glorious results, when the 75.000 childn-n shall become 760,000, and all the people be edu cated, with minds developed, aud hearts filled with Christianizing influences. But it is not proposed that those school shall do the whole education of the South. They are only the specimen models which we have sent down, telling tbe South that tf they would attain to that advanced state of cultivattou, with all its free institutions and liberties, we have, they should Biudy tho order, genius, and science of our common school system. We do not Intend to educate the South alone. She muBt do itherself; build her own school-houses, iurnish her own Instructors, becomo Imbued with tbe spirit of enterprise, and the holy spirit which IncitPB to good works. Then may she expect to establish for herself a fair name and a solid foundation of State Governments. They must teach tho negro how to read, write and think. They must themselves arise from their indolence, and become enterprising; advance themselves in civilisation, until, by their deeds, they shall erect lor themselvei au EVENING TELEGfRAPII PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, arch of honor Inscribed with deeds of moral gieatups and goodnpss, where their Christian influence will be felt far and wide, and they will nieot the approval of the all-seing One, who will ippnrd them with the love of complacency, bi d will shower down blessings in abundance upon ihcm. SUFFRAGE FOR COLORED MEN. Meeting In Cnmden I,it Kvenlng. A mas? meeting was held in tbo Court House lat evening of those who were in favor of ex tending to the black man the right of suffrage. A large number of tbe audience were neeroes. The meeting was cnllod to order by the election cl the lollowing officers: PrPMdput Dr. Sylvester Burdsall. Vice-Presidents Henry B. Wilson, D. D. But ler. Dr. J. 8. Mulford. D. G. Harris, Charles N. hob-inson, James M. Scovel, Thomaj A. Wilson, and William H. Cole. Secretaries Thomas M. K. Lee, Jr., A. C. Scovel, and Henry L. Bonsall. SPEECH OF DR. BURDSALL. Dr. Burdsall, on taking the chair, said he felt proud and grateful not only in being elected as chairman, but that he was permitted to take a part in the meeting. In 1852 it cost something to be a Republican. Iu that year only 27 votes were polled in Camden. In 18G0 thore were 300. In 18(34 the Republicans had lticreasod through out the country so much as to obtain a majority lor Abraham Lincoln. The Rebellion commenced because the South ern people said their riehts were invaded. We have been punishc I for aiding and abetting in sustaining their great corner-stone. Slavery. Andrew Johnson stands in the plaee of Mie lamented Lincoln, a traitor to his principles and to his country. Tho one party insists that the Rebels shall nsist in ruling this (Joverngicnt. and we say that loyal men shell also assist in rulinir it. If a black-hearted Rebel of the South shall have his votp, let the white-hearled negro North or South huve his vote. Let us at least have some show for fair ground. Do not.dlsarace the loyal people of the country, throwing out one of the great co-ordinate branches of the loyal people: do not say that we alone phall stand asralnst all the rest of the nation. The thiug is unfair, and it is unjust. THE RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were adopted unani mously: Jt'esolvrd, That we hull with delight iho recent union ol Congress. In kIvIiik to the Hclicl Stntes equal MillriiKa iu the mlliiary liecoiislruciloii 1)111. anil wa rt'loluti In the lact ntcomiil Hlicd, that iwrsonul free dom, which the dark children ol the Kopuollc have won by our blood and (heirs, will not be a vuln mock- ry, exposed to violation at the caprice oTtlielr miis ti'rx enthroned In the Legislature, on the bench, and In the Kxecutlve chamber: but that It will be xecured by (lie arms they hold, and the ballots they cast, for II will le liberty guarded by power. HiHilurt, That while we have expected nothing from the late J'einocratlc party In llin past, and ask no lavors of that organization in the future, we do deniHiid of the liepuhllcau Union party of the coun try Unit they will make good to all citizens of the republic, regardless of the accident of color, the everlasting truths of our Immortal Declaration of 1 mlopeiidence, which solemnly drrhtres that Ood cn aied men eniiitl a principle" in vindicating which llioiiHHiidH of our countrymen, shed their blood, and tave their lives at 1'ort Hudson, at Fort Wagner, and in from of Kichniond, where they were welcomed by traitors mid -Kubuls wllh bloody bauds to patriots' graves, Jirxolml, That In our opinion no Btate government Is republican in funn which disgraces Itself and its Nisler republics by retaining the word "white" in lis Constitution;'' that tills word ought to he expunged at once; lliat. under the Civil Klghls bill, we hold that the black man is uo longer disfranchised, but Is a citizen of the United States, and, as such, eutitled to enjoy the rights aud discharge the duties of eui7.en slilp; and that we regard the refusal ol the Hbl to vote to any good citizen because he is black us a tyrannous exercise of power. Jirmlvttl, That in tbe working of the Military Re construction hill we anticipate a speedy reunion of all he Sjialt-s, because the strong spirit of nationality will permeate and animate these new organizations, which can never again be placed in Jeopardy so long as u Constitution recogulzlng the Inherent, and In alienable rights of all men as equal before the human law as they are before ihe Divine law, shall remain, the supreme law of the ln1; and, Jimolvftt, That while we exact from othercommunl tles or States, all rights for all, we are willing to ac cord, and even demand that suffrage sbnll be as Im partial In 'ew Jersey as It now is in Mouth Carolina. Jirwlmi, That those who now proclaim the colored mini's Inability to properlyand safely use the ballot, are the same inventors of the now exploded falsehoods iu regard lo his use of the bullet and bayonet when Hie country Deeded his services; aud It is but proper that every lover of his country should recognize in these objectors the meu who stood aloof from the com try in ihe darkest hour of her trials, andehould treat i heir protest with unmlugled con tempi. Jtrmlvril, That the apparent feverish anxlutr to pre fer ve the ballot Irom the inlluence of the Ignorance of the colored man is proven (Dy me cnaraciers idviisq lo and urged to the poll at every election) to he a hypocritical and malignant subterfuge. BON. E. A. 8TANSUUET, OP PASSAIC COUNTS', was then introduced. He considered himself happy to be able to 6tand before this audience. He asked theni to aaopt tne lunuamcntai prin ciple of democracy. That principle Is, that man is entitled to his rights not by virtue of his being a Caucasian, a Oelt, or an African, but by viriue ot being a man; and he bolieveu in the icntre ot his heart that there would be no peace, and theie ought not to be peace in a Govern ment that pretends to DC founded on tne irlea ot liberty and equality, until every iota of in equality befote the law ha9 bepii removed and taken away iorcver. ISAIAH C. WARE was next introduced. lie presumed there were many persons iu the audience who iiid nt agree with tte sentiments propagated by the last speaker. To them, more thau any omer he had a worn, presuming, nowever, inat mere were many on the other side. It is said by naturalists that every animal has its parasites something upon its body that makes it itch at times. The Republican patty has its parasites, that live upon it only to devour it. (Applause.) xuese parasites never in their lives were guilty ot a wholesome, healthful, original thought mat looki d onward and upward towards tne truth, l ui feed on just like parasites do on a body that it lives upon, aud it it ever happens to fall oil", it dies. It seems to me also that naturalists say that it i- one of the evidences of life in the animal itielf that it has Its paiasiies: and 1 do not know, if it is one of tho evidences ot lite of the Republican oattv that it is capable also ot living with such parasites uy on its body. All 1 a--k of these gentle men is to cease becoming parasites, and become a part ot the life ot the body ot tbe greas party ot the country. Democracy, if we would rightly un- oerstund the purport of the much abused word, we must ki-ow that tt stands in ODposition to the word arlsiocracv the latter claiming to rule by virtue ot the blood In the veins, tbe former basing their riiiil on the ground oi their man hood. MB. ALFRED GREEN tl en addressed the meetintr at length. He said tho colored pccple must feel that there is some thing depending upon them that demands that they should lay aside some other duties aud attend to this great, all-Important question upon which rests the peace ana prosperity oi tne country as well as of our race. The meeting ciosca wuu cueem ior tue spcHkers and the success of the cause. pRENCH STEAM SCOURING. ALDEDYLL, MARX & CO.. NO. 139 MH1II ELEVENTH MTUEET AND Ntt. niA BACK RTHEKT, S 10 mw SflQgfe WM. D.
