Concluding with an appeal entreating sym pathy for the freedmen, and an earnest public interest in their welfare, the speaker in appro- frinte remarks introduced the Rev. George lushes, the spent of the Freedmeu's Aid So ciety of the Methodist Episcopal Church: ' Mr Hughes remarked that the audienoe had not assembled to hear dincussed any political issue, or to advance the Interest ot any political organization, 'J bey had assembled in a Curistlan capacity, to con sider the meat moral and religious quenlluus which ailed the moial and religious inieresla ol our country, and which have a bearlug upon the extensiou or the freedmeu'a caube, aud their Individual elevation. 1 he progress and termination of tne great struggle lu which the people have been eugaged, as a nation, have developed these questions. At an early period, at the dawn of the freedrnau's freedom, the Method ist Church looked at the great lact that the close of the war bad brought with It the liberation of 4.000,000 of tunian beings who had been held lu the degradation of Beivltuda lor centuries; aud desiring to enter every door that bad been providentially opened In any part of tba universe, for the uplltliugof its fellow-men, waa disposed at once to command all her resources, aud enter upon this new held ol Christian activity and labor. And the prominent mluda of the Church, looking abroad over the vast tractor country which bad been the borne of the slave, wl nesslug this sud den liberation by the results of a prolonged aud hard fought struggle, saw that It was an Indispensable ne cessity, and of vast importance to the future standing of all political and religious Interests of tbe nation, that they should be educated elevated from their stations of degradation and should be brought under tbe benign Influence or the power of earnest Christian cateche.lcal culture. Until Augustoi ItMiS the Methodist Episcopal Church bad acted in concert with other Christian denomiua t ops. Hut thi y each lu turn severing tbe'r connec tion wltu this heterogeneous organlzatlon.aud lormlng denominational societies, It was thought that the Me tbodlslChurcb Bhould dosome hing In the same man ner. It was seen that we could not prosecute our missionary work in the Houtu without this further aid, uor could the Church Extension work be prose cuted without this other great auxiliary. Conse quently a convention or prominent ministers and lay men, meeting In the city of t luclnuall In August last, resolved to organize this Freedmen's Aid Society ol the Methodist Kpiscopal Church, arranging to have a representation in the liuard of Managers lrom each of the Annual Conferences. Subsequently the bishops, In looking over the held of proposed labor, fully re cognised tbe Importance ot tbe work, and Issued an address to the churches, In which they declared that tbe necessities ot the work weresucb that tbe school must be planted alongside or the church in tbe South; that tbe Christian teacher must go forth lu connec tion with the CbrhCian missionary , to lay deep aud bread tbe true foundations of the moral and religious aupersti uclure It was prooosed to erect in tbe bouthern country. 1 he society, which has been but a few months In ope ration, has already established some forty or liny schools at points where our missionary work Is thought to be most Important. Teachers have been put In the field ; and Just as fur ss the Church lur nihbesthe means, there will be untold numbers of Christian men and women to exert their lutluence, In bringing their power or soul aud uiitid to bear upon Ibis great labor at the South. i 1 be crralobj. ct of tbe Intellectual and moral eleva tion of these feedmeu, Is one which appeals to every Christian heart, and especially to the mind aud heart ' of every Methodist man aud womau for it has been emphatically Bald ol Methodism, that "It Is Chris tianity In earnest," Thus being earnest In any work wticii Is put upon them, there Is but one Inquiry for their consideration, "Does Ood open a door In that direction?" If l e does, this Is our workl Imme diately advance Its forces lev us enter the door aud tftke Dossession of the field. Kur Methodism Is ever engaged In any labor, in forelgu lauds or upon the Boll ol our uwn country, inai wuuiu venu io vue en ligbtenment of ignorant people. Wherever the work waa louiid, tbelr ready hands, prompted by willing liuuriH. were reudv for the work. j Ills a question this of the proper education of tbe freedmen which must largely engage the aiieutlon or every Christian In tbe laud, aud of every intelli gent patriot who looks for tue progress of our own " ounntrv In thu evaiiiialiieat Ion . of these negro men who are coming Into the dawn of- true liberty -from tbe darkness of degrading servitude.

A large number of ladies and freiiilerficn were present. After the band bad plaed several airs, the Judge niado hi nppearauce, and pro ceeded to address his friends at some length 'lijion what he taw and heard durintr his extended trip through toe South, embracing the Stii'te oi Kentucky, Tennessee, MiFsinHppI, Louisiana, Alabama, tkoicia. South Carolina, Nonh Car.i litis, and Viipiuiu. , He laid on every hand he taw an unusual and varied natural wealth, but the mi I ate cl the land bad been utterly ex ha neted in mauy places by lie constant culti vation oi coin sou eotum. In rciertncc lo the poii'lcnl condition of the South, the Judre raid ''that the anstooracv ol' tie South were discontented and opposed to the scheme ol reconstruction provided by Con press, but the men who had louirht in the Cou f derate army ann the mas9 0f the people were in lawir of rr construction." He also said "tbat there was no necessity to send Northern men Siuih lo teach the coiored men their political duties, as there were plenty of white men, natives of the South, able and intelligent enough to do all that w as rcqu'red." In conclusion, the Juoi;e stated "that the best' regenerators and reconstructors of the South will be subsoil ploughs, modem agricul tural Inplemeutf, phosphates, and other ma nures, new and good stock of horned cattle, ana machinery to be moved by the great water power running tLroufch all the States he had vifited. Ihese, with a small capital and a fair degree ol enterprise and industry, would do more to legencrate the South than all the meral and religious teachings, valuable as tbey arc, could ace mnlish In len or twenty jears.'
