ciety was held at Friends' Meeting House,
Abington, yesterday afternoon. The attend
ance was large.
Dr. Child, Secretary,. presented a brief sum
mary oft he proceedings of the Society during
the past year, by which it appears they have
entered into the following alliance with the
Union of Peace at Havre, represented •by
Hon. J. K Bielefield, President, and F. San
taller, Secretary, and having 7,000 adherents.
Article L The American Peace Society
and the Peace Union of Europe will adopt
the name of the Universal Peace Union to
'give evidence of the unity of their spirit and
'their labors.
Article IL The administration of the two
r Societies will remain distinct, and each will
retain the power of self government and will
continue their special publications. They
will exchange these fraternally, and republish
such parts as may be desirable.
'Article lIL Each Society will publish a
list of all their members: as they are received,
and arrange them in proper order, with their
residence, profession and nationality, and the
Friends of Peace both in Europe and Ame
rica, will issue frequent bulletins, with the
names of the members, so that tie)y may be
known, and thus encourage a. general „leer
respondence with each other.
Article IV. Each Society shall raise its
funds to carry on this work in such a man
ner as they shall deem best adapted to ac
complish this object.
Article V. Both Societies will use their
utmost efforts to bring into their union all the
different Peace Societies in the world, and
thus create a powerful international organi:
zation.t
Article. V/. The establishment of a mode
of International jurisprudence being one of
the most prominent objects of both societies,
they will, as soon as possible, make a united
appeal to the most distinguished jariscon
enlists and statesmen of the two Continents
to elaborate and present the basis of a code.
These Essays on jurisprudence will be pub
lished by both societies.
Article Vll..Each Society will be respon
sible for the utterances of their sentiments
and declarations; the American branch has
already declared that they accept the pop
osition of the equality of sexes, as to natural
rights, and that our main reliance,under God,
for the promotion and establishment of Uni
versal Peace, is in the dissemination of our
principles among the people everywhere, as
an education which shall establish the idea
that human life is sacred and inalienable,
under all circumstances.
He read the following letter from Hon.
Charles Sumner,in reference to artice VI :
WASFIINGTON, Aug. 12, 1868.—Dear Sir:
—Nothing can be more interesting-tirairth-e
-idea of a revision of the law of Nations and
the reduction of all its various ways to a
clear and intelligible code, Which all can
read and understand. Such a work would
be an epeckin civilization, and prepare the
way for permanent peace among nations.
Therefore, I saw with singular pleasure
that 'the Society for the advancement of
Social Science in England had enter
tained this great subject. and that a jurist. as
experienced and liberal as Mr. Dudley Field
-had entered upon the work. I am glad to
know that the. Peac,e Union and the Society
which yon represent are laboring in the same
direction. Anything I can do to promote so
beneficent a project will be done cheerfully
to the extent of my ability and according to
the time at my command, which is very little.
Accept'my best wishes, and believe me, dear
sir, faithfully yours,
Addresses were delivered by Rachel "Al
Townsend, Jacob L. Paxson and Dr. H. T
Child.
NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
A GRAND Tumour.—On Saturday even
ing the streets of Camden were enlivened by
the members of the various Councils of the
Order of United American Mechanics joining
in a grand parade. They were out in full
force, and having on their regalia, they made
a fine appearance. A band of music headed
the procession; which marched through
manrof the principal streets. This order is
in a prosperous condition, and embraces a
large proportion of the mechanics and work
ing people of Camden. It is said that every
initiation night large accessions are made to
the membership of each different Council.
TEE CAMP MEETING SEASON.—The various
camp meetings which have been held, and
which are now in progress in the first dis
trict, were largely attended, and resulted thus
far in producing much good. The one at
Barnsboro, now under way, excites great
interest, and many residents of Camden went
down on Saturday afternoon to participate in
the proceedings of Sunday.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.—The different
companies composing the Camden Fire De
partment are gradually coming into posses
sion of ample equipments and machinery for
extinguishing fires. Three of them already
own steam engines, and a fourth one will be
added in about a month, the Weccacoe
Hose Company having already contracted for
a new one. Their house is being altered so
as to house it when it comes home. AU these
steamers are of first class.
WOODS MEETlNG.—Yesteray afternoon a
colored woods meeting was Id in Fetters
ifxm
vine, just over Camden City ' its. It was
quite well attended, and the proceedings were
interesting.
A SAD NUMBER.—ThpIe have been ten
persona drowned at Atlantic City during the
present season. This large number certainly
calls for some decided action in reference to
the protection of life there, on the part of the
authorities and all interested in the success of
the place. -
TILE CAMDEN GRANT AND COLFAX CLUB.—
This Club, which was organized about two
weeks ago,already numbers upwards of three
hundred members. The boys expect to re
ceive • their caps and capes in a short
time, and then will be ready for action.
SOUTH WARD.—The Republicans of South
Ward will, in a few days, raise a tine Grant
and Colfax flag-pole at Mount Vernon and
Third streets. The Democrats propose to
raise one at Fourth and Spruce.
Dinscrons ELECTED. --At the recent annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Cape May
and Diillville Railroad Company, the follow
ing named gentlemen were elected Directors
for the ensuing year: John G. Stevens,
Thomas Jones Yorke, Robert F. Stockton,
Jr., A. W. Markley, Charles P. Stratton,
James R. Stevens, Coleman F. Learning, W.

George L. Robbins, Secretary.
The Whipping Post in Delawares
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
-- writing-from- Dover Delaware, discourses thus
-eloquently upon the infamous whipping post and
illo
:
In each of the three court -house villages of
Delaware the whipping-post is an old and famil
iar-ornament. It was-removed from Wilmington
many years ago, but you - can see it in George
town and Newcastle ; and in Dover, the State
--eapitolrthe legislators, If in session at -the time
of court, can hear the screams of the whipped in
the green jail yard behind the State house, and, If
they like, look out of the Representatives' hall
- upon the flogging. This whipping post looks like
an old pump without handle or a spout the fis
..
. ewe in which the handleg supplied would work,

being devoted to the pillory-beard, vilifeliiii
passed through and pegged fast. In tiffs board
the offender's head and wrists are locked tight,
and be stands in the hot EMI or rain, as it may
be, 'exposed to the taunts of tavern oafers—hia
friends, probably, yesterday or to-morrow. To
the sides of the whipping post, throe feet above
the ground, a pair of iron clamps are fastened;
these paw over the wrists of the condemned and
are locked to staples below, so that he stands
with his back bowed, hugging the post. Behind
him stands the Sheriff, or his deputy. apply
ing the raw-hide. The boys, the negroes,
sometimes the girls, come round to be
amused, for in a dull town like Dover a whipping
is a fall of manna in the wilderness: The conse
quences of the punishment do not stop with the
bloody bare back of the criminal; they extend to
the young spectators and make them coarse and
insensible; they give the State a name which its
neighbors abhor, and involve our common na
tionality in the shame of their stripes. They
brutalize the State of Delaware, its women and
its men together sharing the effects of the inflic
tion, which is morally worse than to be whipped.
Moreover, the whipping-post is seldom
the fate of the white man. It is
the heir-at-law of the slave-master's boot, and
perpetuates the subject-condition of the negro,
reminding him of 'his flependence and his want
of common rights with his white accessory. For
white men are seldom beaten here. A Demo
cratic Governorpardons them. Bat the ,negro
is led to his plce with a gTin; he can not be
t
°Wiled; he can at l east Ibe whipped, and great is
the satisfaction of the superior race. At the
town of Newcastle, some , cunning imitator of
the virtues of Guillotine has invented a cat-o'-
nine-tails with wire extremities, every
bloW of which cuts into the tendons like
a knife blade, and often into the
loins. More than twelve (108) blows of this in
strument are said to be perilous to life. Yet a
Methodist Sheriff goes through the business com
posedly, keeping tally for his deputy; and, when
the negro has been uncivil, they "lick" him with'
a fiendish joy, till his cries at the post are echoed
all the night as the vermin of the jail revel in his
gashes. The p illory is no less , brutalizing, being
a blow at oners pride, which is the last article of
man that a good State can appeal to; and to the
spectators it makes a ribaldry of punishment, so
that they laugh at the pilloried one, bat do not
pity him.
The Delaware lieople,from the Governor down,
argue for the continuance of these two Asiatic
institutions, saying, chiefly, that the whipping
post is a better preventive than the jell, and that
only negroes ".catch it." Not caring to reply to
these tolerably mean arguments, which a Tnrk
can use as well as a Christian, I a i m convinced
that the whipping-post continues because the
pebple of Delit•Ware are too mean to build a jail.
They have no 'penitentiary, are averse to paying
board in other jailefor their criminals, and whip
to save taxes, at the expense of their good
name. Their ' jails, with one exception, are
frail brick dens out of which the pri
soners dig their way for amusement. and are
never pursued. The jail at Dover presents, in its
gabel, about thirty holes. freshly bricked up,
where prisoners made their exit. There is for a
burglar no punishment more than for a purloiner.
Hangings are uncommon, a wife's brother being
ellowedto-shoother-husband_dettd-for-correctin.
her for adultery, while the woman marries again
betore the grass grows green on his grave. A
State that will not be taxed for schools will not
pay for a jail.
With all this reckless niggardliness. there is, or
was a year or two ago, a law forbidding a theatre
or a horse-race in Delaware. The same holds good
to this day, 1 believe. But every high road is a
race-track, and every day a course, just as,-when
Delaware had a liquor law, it became compulsory
to carry a decanter in your gig and treat the pub
lic. Marriage licenses are severely taxed, where
by young couples ride over into Pennsylvania to
be spliced. The preachers on one side of the
line, getting all the fees, are fat as aldermen,
while on the Delaware side they are lean as
mackerel.

at death, but will receive, if living, after a period
of a few years, an annual income equal to ten per

latter, the Company agrees to return 'fo the (u
-surer, the total amount of money he has paid in, in
addition to the amount of his policy.
