Conn ells should not be asked. to pay for permanent improvements out of,:the money, received. from tbe current tax rate,-:r: - These:expenditures - have already been Made, with the understanding that a loan would be created; and if Select Council refused to pass them, the Legislature would no doubtarigurate a-plan by which it could be done. Mr. Ronly was in favor of $1 80 for the;current year, and cutting down the expenses of the de partments.i 'lt was a curious fact, that while the value of real estate was increasing largely every year, the tax rate continuo:lto grow larger, and would no doubt increase unless the expenses of the city were reduced. Mr. Eletzell said it was folly to talk abou t fixing a lower. rate ortrOt and then cut down the ex penditures. The proper way was to adopt a rate of tax necessary to Meet the expenses of the city, as furnished by the City Controller. The present increase is necessary, because the tax rate for 1868 was not sufficient._ Mr. Evans advocated a rate of $t 80, and said that, rather than agree to the $2 named by Select Council, he would favor the present rate of $1 40, Mr. Willets also advocated the rate of $1 80, believing that to be ample, it the loan bills were passed,• and these be believed could be. Mr. Littleton believed that if thb Legislature passed.an act authorizing the Councils to pass a loan by tniajoility - fote, it Would - be disastrous to the credit of the city. He could see no other way of meeting the present difficulty than by fixing the rate of tax that would meet the ex penses as Tresented, and not legislate for some thing that is to occur hereafter. Mr. Shoemaker favored the rate-of-$l.BO as be ing sufficient for all the necessary expenses of the city.

Wi ll iam Lloyd Garrison followed, saying that the society had,in the days of the past, labored for the peaceful extinction of slavery, and had in that particular failed. It was then hoped that the object of the society could be accomplished without bloodshedbut that having proven !tact, ho was of the opinion that all re forms should be merged , in one, in these days When the war • spirit was rampant through out the land, and all should become advocates of peace. A committee was appointed to nominate of ficers.

Be spoke in favor of giving the ballot to the col ored man. Resolutions were read, setting forth that the anarchical and rebellious condition of the South ern States demands the unremitted vigilance and constant labor of Abolitionists for the accom plishment of their object; that for the complete suppression of the rebellion, the' security of the loyal people of the South, - and the present and future dignity and well-being of the nation, Andrew Johnson should be re-arraigned and re moved from office; that no Senators or repre sentatives from the State of Georgia should be admitted to seats in Congress until the right of the colored man to vote and hold office shall b 9 fully recognized in that State; that the right of suffrage shall be secured to the colored man by a constitutional amendment ' ; that the Repub lican victoryfin the late Presidential contest is only preliminary to the complete triumph of liberty which that has made possible; that we cordially sympathize with the heroic men and women who arc contending on Southern soil for free schools, free speech and free government, and do assure them of our solemn purpose to pursue our work to its full accomplishment ; that we congratulate the people of Spain upon the success of its blood less revolution, and urge upon them to improve the present opportunity to secure the Immediate, unconditional abolition of slavery throughout the Spanish dominions..

If violated by the Councils, it can be enforced by the judiciary. •Ifdisregarded by the City Treasurer, he mast suffer, the pen alty. The best interests of , the city being de pendent-on its scrupulour observance,' rata very sure that you will allow ‘no impression, to exist tbat t either on yOur own part or that of, any city official, there is a desire to , evade, , yor . in the slightest degree to impair, a law whickbi so emi nently_wise and just. To this more than any other cense, is ;to be attributed, , the high et edit Which the city of Philadelphia now enjoys.

These were also adopted. Wendell Phillips then made an address of con siderable length, in which ho expressed the opinion that the work of the Anti-Slavery Soci eties would not be completed -until negro suf frage was established in every State in the Union.
