COMMISSION.
Anniversary Meeting at the Academy
of Masi°.
Speeches by Chief Justice Chase, Gen.
Howard, Rev. Phillips Brooks,
and Others.
At the Academy of Music, last evening,
the Pennsylvania Branch of the American
Freedmen's Union Commission held their
first anniversary meethig. A very large
and appreciative audience was present.
The parquet, dress circles and stage were all
filled, and during the addresses that were
delivered there was exhibited an unusual
amount of enthusiasm.
. ....
Speech of Chief Justice Chase.
Hon, S. P. Chase presided and delivered
the following address:
My Friends: This is a meeting of the
Pennsylvania Branch of the American
Freedmen's Union Commission; bat as pre
sident of the commission it is both my clay
as it is my pleasure, to take the chair.
Builders of Commonwealths are ever held
in honor among men. Not less honor be
longs to the restorers - of Commonwealto.,
and the object of this association is to build
up, to strengthen, to elevate, to' perfect all
its work as work of advancement. There
is no interest in the land which can beta
any way hindered or injured by the work
of this commission. There is no interest in
the land which will not be promoted and
aided by its work. S , me years ago, whe
it was my fortune to - fill one of the den‘rt
!Dente of the Federal Government, and im
mediately after, or very soon after the cap
ture of the forts at the entrance of Port
Royal; learning that there was a largo
amount of abandoned cotton upon the
island, I selected an officer of the army as
an agent of the Treasury Department to
proceed to the island and collect it. The
reports which reached 'me satisfied me
that it was necessary not merely to collect
what had already been raised, but provide
in some way for the welfare of the laborera,
and for the culture of the land. No provi
sion had been made by Congress upon the
subject; but selecting an agent of the depart
ment I sent him there and directed him
to make a report. That agent was a very
intelligent gentleman—Mr. Pierce, of Mas
sachusetts, of whom, doubtless, you have
heard. He performed his duty, and per
formed it well. Another gentleman, Rev.
Dr. French, proceeded to the same field, and
their reports induced me to say to them that
if they would appeal to the voluntary bene
volence of the loyal States and send teachers
and preachers that I would use the influence
of the War Department to induce them to
furnish rations and shelter and transporta
tion. They appealed immediately to the
benevolence, the public spirit and wisdom
of the North, and the result was, in this city,
New York, Boston and elsewhere, orgamaa-
Lion.
• The War Department, then under the
charge of an honored citizen of this State
(Simon Cameron), furnished that which was
requested of them according to the under
standing; and thus began,in the Sea Islands
of South Carolina • the work which has
ever since been going on. Some months
later—perhaps a year later—the work which
could not be very well attended to by the
Treasury Department was transferred to
the War Department, then under the charge
of its distinguished head, Secretary Stan
ton. That gentleman entered into the whole
idea with interest and zeal, and the work
proceeded until Congress took the matter
up, and through the efforts of a distinguished
and honored friend of Massachusetts (Mr.
Elliott, of New Bedford), the Freedmen's
Bureau bill was ultimately passed, and the
Freed men' sB arean was organized. Thus you
see the origin of this work. The voluntary
associations which were formed in the dif
ferent cities of the North, form the Ameri-
Can Freedmen's Union Commission. The
governmental part of the work was placed
inhe charge of the Freedmen's Bureau,
which has been armed with adequate
powers by Congress, and is now under the
charge of my honored friend, Gen. Howard,
illustrious in peace as he has been brave
and honored in war. This commission is
ready to co-operate in every way with this
governmental agency.
One of the most interesting facts of this
work is in the fact that the idea is realized
n it. The people throughout the country
acted voluntarily in their associations. You
have come here to-night as men and women
interested in the great public work, and you
act in co-operation with the Government,
acting in its sphere with energy and effi
ciency, and I trust with the best results.
All who choose to comment and censure,
may comment and censure.
What are we doing? We are endeavoring
to carry forward a work began by the Go
vernment, and which is now itself under
the charge of the Government. We are en•
deavoring to carry the blessings of educa
tion to every person in the South who is
willing to receive them. Oar labors are
particularly directed to the education of our.
emancipated countrymen, who need it the
most. What will be the result if this work
goes on upheld by the broad arms and by
the warm aspirations of a generous people?
Education will be diffused through all
the South, and every man who has a part to
perform in the labor of the South will be
made twice the man that he was before. Is
there any harm in that? Is there not a
great good in it? Is not the educated la
borer, the skilled laborer, twice, thrice, and
even ten times as valuable tos the comma •
nity as the uneducated and the unskilled?
If education can be diffused throughout
those masses, prosperity and peace, with
all their plessings, will come upon the whole
land. Let us go on with this work. Let
us hail everything that aids and encourages
the settlement of all difficult questions
which now perplex the country.
The President of the United States offered
to the South his terms of reorganization and
readmission to a participation in the politi
cal power of the country. The Congress of
the United States has offered its terms, and
I will take the liberty here to say that I
think a more generous, a more magnani
mous proposition was never submitted to a
people who have been in rebellion than the
amendment which has been proposed by
Congress. [Applause.]
If those communities who have been in
rebellion against the Government have any
thing to propose—if they think there is a
better mode, a more generous mode, better
calculated to secure the peace and harmony
and prosperity of this great land—let them
come forward and propose% and the people
will listen and judge. '•ln this country it is,
thank God, the people who listen and judge
every pioposition which is submitted. [Ap
plause.] •I hope for the best. I know what
a nation of passion and prejudice is; it is
violent and unreasonable, bat it is tran
sient—it speedily passes away.
Everything connected with this great
question of restoration should be calmly
considered, and I trust that the people will
never consent to any arrangement which
does not insure permanent peace, tran
quillity, union and prosperity of this land.
[Applause.]
This to all my fellow-citizens and friends,
that I think it necessary to say this evening.
I could not say less, without suffering my
self to be misrepresented and misunder
stood. [Long continued applause.]
Remarks of. Rev. Lyman Abbott.
Rev. Lyman Abbott was the next speaker
He said :
=age are three thine which the South
nee& today. First, education; second, .po
litical reconstruction; and third, a pare re
ligion. That which is fundamental and es
sential to all these is popular education. The
South always had labor. But what is needed
is educational labor. ' It was never intended
that man should be a mere laboring ma
chine. If God had- meant. this he would
have made him all muscle, without brains.
Heretofore, labor in the S outh was-oonsid
ered dishonorable, because it was entirely
separated from the idea of edutiation. One
of the results of the recent war is the par
tial obliteration of this impression. Even
aristocratiafamilies have been compelled to
go into the field and work at the plough,
while the men who heretofore only , held the
hoe and plough now hold the spelling book
and primer. Toil has always been honor
able in the North because it has been identi
fied with education. It has been regarded
as degrading in the South because it was
separated from education.
The only objection that can be urged
against giving the colored man the ballot is
his ignorance. It has been contended that
he is a mere nondescript, between the
monkey and the man. Bat he has proved
the fallacy of this idea., He has proved his
,capacity for education—his right to all the
privileges that belong to man. The school
horse, by education,
giving the negro gives
him the right to suffrage. In" New York,
without regard to his education, the white
man seems not only to have he right to
vote, but to vote as; often as he pleases.
[Applause.]
The South needs a pure religion. Aris
tocracies never objected to religion, pro
vided it was their kind of, religion. [Ap
plause ] All nations have their religions.
The South gave to the negro religion, but
not the school house—an educated religion.
What the South needs is a religion based
upon popular and wide-spread education.
Education is What is essentiaL Who will
give it to the colored, people of the South ?
Not the States. It depends upon the volun
tary contributions of the free people of the
North.
The Freedmen's Bureau has furnished
means. Under its auspices schools have
been planted in Southern Sections. There
are now already five hundred teachers in
the field, and the number will soon be in
creased to seven hundred. It has stimula
the work of education, and it will continue
its work until it has become a great tree,
which will drop its fruits in every nook
and corner of the South. Wherever education
goes there spring up manufactures, com
merce and alt the blessings of the various
arts and sciences.
This speaker was greatly applauded.
Bev. Itoberf J. Pasvin's Speech.
Rev. Robert J. Parvin was next intro
duced. He said it was not many years ago
when we bad a Chief Justice who said the
negro had no right that we were bound to
respect. We have now a Chief Justice who
is willing to be the President of the "Ameri
can Freedmen's Union Commission." As
soon as his appointment to this position was
announced to him he gave notice of his
cheerful acceptance. The speaker referred
to the old institution of slavery, and related
the fact of his having seen a woman on the
auctioneer's block, in the slave mart when
she was compelled to show herself off to the
best advantage, that she might bring her
owner a liberal price; and also witnessed the
sale, one after another -to different buyers,
of her children. We have nothing of this
'kind now. We may have one of these
blocks to hand down as a curiosity to
our children. He spoke on the subject
of reconstruction. The reconstruction
we need is that of education and
sentitnent. The time has gone by
when the king shall govern the people.
The people now are determined to govern
their rulers. We have now a free press, an
emancipated pulpit„ a free Congress, to be
kept free by keeping out of it the bowie
knife and shillelah. We are acting upon
these ideas of freedom to elevate to cifizen
ship those whom God has liberated from
tho bondage of slavery. Not unto us, but
unto God be all the praise for this freedom.
The speaker alluded. to the gallant deeds of
the negro after be had put on the blue coat
and brass buttons of the soldier and entered
the service in defence of the Union. He also
related some anecdotes illustrative of the
Senthern apposition to negro education,and
the persecutions consequent thereon of
those who went South as teachers. A
clergyman had expressed great indignation
because the young Diggers went about
the streets singing "John Brown's body
is marching on." Well, we are all march
ing an—our souls are Marching on. We
have now on the Supreme Bench one who
will support these iaeas of freedom and ed
ucation. [Applause.] England had her
Howard, honored for his extensive_ philan
thropy. America also has her Howard,
who on the battlefield showed himself the
brave soldier, and now in peace has taken
the management of the Freedmen's Bureau
—not coldly, but with all the warmth of a
generous affection. [Applause.] He referred
in terms of approbation to Judge Bond,
and said it wasthe bondmen that need him.
We have also hem the people, and they are
with us too. He concluded with an appeal
for contributions in aid of the Freedmen's
Commission, and said that an effort was to
be made in its b3half in the churches on the
approaching Thanksgiving day.
Address of General Howard.
When this distinguished Chief of the
Freedmen's Bureau came forward, there
was a perfect tumult of applause which
lasted some time. When quiet was restored,
he said, that for the last pew minutes there
was a struggle in his heart as to the manner
in which he should commence his remarks.
He was afraid that whatever he might say
would be considered an arrogation, in con
sequence of the position he occupies. The
object of these Northern benevolent associa
tions is not to subserve our perssnal inter
ests. The necessity of education is admitt , d
on all hands. The people of' the South
have been educated witting. The work of
correcting this evil has just commencel.
What has been done?.At the last report
we had 150,000 scholars at the regularly
organized schools. This has, to some ex
tent, been done by the colored pe i
ple themselves. Take Arkansas, for
instance. In that State alone 100,000
colored people have paid four dollars
a piece 'toward the work of edu
cation. The interest taken by the colored
people is astonishing. 'ln referring to dif
ferent places where schools had been estab
lished, he spoke of the college on the top of
Lookout Mountain, which name was hailed
with applause. A gentleman had paid forty
thousand dollars to establish a college there,
firm which, as in other places, the po it
whites were not excluded. [Laughter and
applause.]
The teachers sent into the Southern cou
try should be Christian teachers. They a e
the only ones that will wear. We want
those who are not afraid to sacrifice lite
itself; those who are willing to live and dm
for Christ's sake. It is said we mix up re:t
alon too much with this subject. This is not
the case. In the South we have obstacles to
meet and overcome that are unknown to the
people of the North. In saying this he lv , d
no party feeling. If Christian people are,
not werking with this organization, let them
work in just such manner as they prefer. In
some sections of the South the negroes,
were extremely ignorant. In others, as in
New Orleans, they were as intelligent and
apt to learn as the whites. Public senti
ment in the South had been opposed to the
education of the negro; bat that sentiment
is gradually changing. That change mu it
be encouraged. He had seen ( planters who
were bitterly opposed to education, but who
now say send us teachers; the negroes will
not stay with and work for us without them.
And this feeling is increasing to such a d
gree that ere long he who attempts to run a
Plantation without a school-house upon it
will attempt as impossibility. [Applause.]
Whey now flay, semi Ul4 toohere—sena the

right kind—send us if you plesqe,
negroes—but don't send us Yan
kees. Why? Because they teach negroes
to bate us; to sing offensive songs and the
like. He has heard this from the paint;
from the stage, and from other saunas.
This is true. Then why not give them South
ern teachers? Because the Southerner does
not recognize the manhood of the negro.
Our Northern teachers do recognize that
manhood, and ccinsequently teach him a
certain degree of self-respect. In this line
we must persevere. We cannot help resist
ing all education that teaches a human being
that he should be a slave. Keep on, then,
in sending Northern teachers—the very
best that can be sent—who can give a good,
thorough, systematic education. We must
have more heart in this work, more interest,
more universality:
The Government has done much in the
institution of the Freedmen's Bureau. ,All
we :now ask of the people is to send the
proper sort of teachers. He had come in
contact with Northern men of large means
and large hearts, who only wanted to know
the nathre Of this work' to come up to its
help. Philadelphia has always been for
ward- during the war in its prosecution.
Shetad always-nobly responded •to eVery
call for assistance. Much has been done
for the soldiers. The. people who are now
engaged in the work of the Freedmen's
Commission are true soldiers, and are doing
as glorious awork asthcse,whofonghtupon
the battle-field. [Great applause.]
Address of Rev. Phillips Brooks.
He would , say -a few words in regard to
our local institution here, arid then- leave
the place for those from abroad, and then
gave some interesting statistics in regard to
the education of our colored population.
These facts were referred to in order to urge
!he propriety of making monthly contribu
tions. During the war it was a disgrace
for a man to say he was doing nothing. It
is equally a disgrace now. The only politi
cal principle that the American citizen has
now a right to maintain is that of universal
equality. He was rejoiced to learn that the
Christianity of - the country has become the
radicalism of the country.
He remembers when this movement was
first commenced, how 'timidly we first ap
proached it, and how we passed from step to
step until We now can ask if there is any one
here who doubts that the negro will have a
vote? It will be 'asad thing for us to see
that day when politics will again get ahead
of philanthropic and civil progress. He
thinks that the sympathy for the black man
has decreased rather than increased during
the past year. Our street car-doors are
closed against the black man.
There was a time when we could go to a
camp of black men and be glad to do them
honor. We should not have left the golden
opportunity pass by without elevating them
to the position which they deserve to oc
cupy. When the current turnain the South
the negro will be more respected there than
in the North. The best way to bring this
result is to teach pure, unadulterated radi
calism. Do your little work here and you
know not what results will follow.
This eloquent speaker was frequently ap
plauded.
Address of Judge Bond, of Baltimore.
When this speaker was announced the
applause was almost deafening. He spoke
at great length; and his address was replete
with sound argument, anecdote and wit,
The audience were kept by him in tne best
possible good humor. Whatever the papers
may say of judges, he said, they cannot say
we are not willing to pay our debts. There
was a time when he did not think the people
of Maryland would ever be compelled to
come to the North to ask assistance.
He believed that Maryland would have
led in the work of freedom. That State,
however, is a very funnY old State—a vic
tim of situation. It has what its Governor
calls status. He compared it with a portion
of land that is being alternately overflowed
with adverse tides. Sometimes a tide from
the North sweeps .over it—and at other
times a tide from the South. So its poli
ticians are changing from one side to the
other, balanding themselves as - only
the " Border ' State politicians can.
But the thing is going to improve. The tide
that is now setting in comes from the North.
When slavery was abolished,everylbody said
there would be a war of races. Mr. Blair
said so, and he is a Democratic prophet.
But we have not had a war of races. It was
said, too, that the negro would not work.
Who will work in Maryland, if the negro
won't? Nobody else works there. He would
be very sorry to want a breakfast, and have
to wait for a white person to get it ready for
him.
We have endeavored to show that the best
way to treat the negro is to let him alone.
If he can get a living, let him get it; if he
cannot, let him go without. Only don't
throw any obstacles in his way. Through
out the State of Maryland at this time every
negro payi ten cents for his education. Out
of fifteen hundred negro scholars in 'the
city'of Baltimore, there were only five who
did not bring their ten cents. Talk of the
civil rights bill. What is it worth when a , l
the sheriffs and other officers are secession
ists, and the negro has to go before seces
sion judges?
There is nothing that will give civil rights
and save the country but the ballot. [Great
applause.] We have as many pious people
in the South as in the North, but they only
want a little enlightenment. They have
the same Christianity, with only a little
difference. He confirmed to give a humor
one account of Southein politics and polill•
clans, and ended his interesting discourse
amid laughter and applause.
The last speaker was General Muzzey,
who was likewise frequently applauded.

TOR HEALTH AND STRENGTH USE CAPE
WELL & CO.'S PATENT GLASS CASTOR
WHEELS.
These wheels are designed for Pianos, Bddsteads, &c.
We claim that they give to Pianos a greatly increased
force ofeound. without detracting from the harmony
and melody of the Instrument, rendering every note
more distinct to the ear. This is so apparent that they
are now being applied by many to these valuable mu•
sical instruments. Dr. Valentine Mott, previous to his
oeath, pronounced the Glans Castor Wheels an in.
valuable invention for bedfast invalids, who are
attaided against the damp floors after undergoing the
process of cleaning, or • where dampness Is produced
trem any other cause. Aside from this. Housekeepers
are relieved from the dread of having their carpets cul
or torn, as frequently happens from those now in use.
often caused by a rust, which adheres with glue-lite
tenacity. No such annoyance can possibly proceed
from the Glass Castor Wheels, as we all know that
glass is non•corrosive. There are no rough or uufla•
fthed edges to the Glass. Wheels, such as we often find
in those of iron, and the latter, though smoothly fin.
(shed, will soon rust, from the dampness of the atmos
phere, if nothing else, producing roughness on thesur•
face, or edge, while tLe former will always maintain
be smoothness of glass, just as they are finished.
By sleeping upon glass wheels you retain all the eleo
