Upon the arrival of UKt-proces sion at the hall, many of the banners were car ried in and tastefully arranged on the stage and around the walls. The meeting was organized by the selection of the following officers : President, David 15. Bowser. Vice Presidents, ■ J oseph C. Bustil, William G.

WFite, Jr., \ The proceedings were opened bv prayer by _tlie KeT.jJarties Ai Jones. / The Chairmap.then made a brief address Robert Purvis was then introduced, and said I thank you, ray friends, for this generous expression of your good will. I accept it as a compliment to one of the humblest in the ranks offieedom. lam here, for the first time, by the highest constituted authority of the land, to address you as “ fellow-citizens,” regardless of your color, whether it be the .cream of the Anglo-Saxon or shadowed by the bronzes of a burningsun.' We are here to ratify the decla ration that has become a truth, that “ all men 'are' created free and equal.” I con gratulate you on this new birth from death unto life. Slavery dead! No power on earth, none in hell, can alter the fiat. Let its btTalive to our duties and responsibilities. I will not suggest what you should do.. I know you will never forget the bridge that has car ried you over to freedom, and, as a fitting corollary, you will never forget your enemies —those who prate, of this as a white man’s .Government. Where is the probate that de votes it to the white race ? Our Democratic friends insist that this is a white man’s coun try. This is their standing argument. This is the idea promulgated by their papers. The age is progressive; the ago comes freighted with the joyful news of fetters tailing—the joyful mind of freedom. 1 must stop: my voice has broken down. I say- one word: I like the idea of our friend, Charles Sumner, who believes in cherishing a sacred animosity to all slaveholders. I -give an illustration used by Dr. Shelt.on_Mackenziepf_.tbe .ZVcss, in regard to an Irishman who had .been injured in his family and in his estate by another, and said on his dying bed be could not forgive him. The priest said he must make peace with even his enemy. He said he would on one condi tion—that he might see his boys once before he died. They were brought in; the dying father said: “ The priest tells mo I must forgive the' O’Donoghue; Ido so, hut, boys, if you ever jfotgive him, may the curse of your father rest upon you. ” [Applause.] The president introduced Mr. Jacob G. White, Jr., who read Presided! Grant’s mes sage to Congress announcing the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, and the proclama tion of Win. Nesbit, President of the Pennsyl vania State Equal Rights League, recommend ing April 20 as a day of rejoicing and-thanks giving for the great boon conferred upon them as’a race. Hou. Galusba A. Grow being introduced, after referring to the giving forth of the Decla ration of Independence and the late rebellion , ! as the two great epochs in the history of our country, said they had assembled to commemo rate the third, -and---continued.:—The nation whose people shall practice the precept first proclaimed on-the seashore and along the hill sides of Judea, J 1 Whatever ye., would, that - others should do unto do ye even so to them,” will live forev.er. O. V. Catto, Chairman of the Committee;' then read the following resolutions : v ll'/iercasj The Secretary of State has issued his proclamation, bearing date March 30, 1870, announcing the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States ; and whereas 6aid amendment guaran ’ teeß the free exercise of the great right of franchise lo all citizens of our country,without regard to race, color, or previous .condition of servitude ; therefore, be it „ -ulfesolrcd, Tliat.auioug-Uie human agencies which have crystallzed into law the principles of the Declaration for which our fathers died, we acknowledge the anti-slavery societies, the great Republican parly and press, the equal tights, leagues, and those martyrs and apostles of liberty—John'Brown of Harper’s Ferry, ’ Abrabam Lincoln, lilysses S. Grant, Charles . Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucrelia Mott,lfwace Greeley,and with them the whole army of pioneers who* have spoken golden ' words, or ventured heroi? deeds, in behalf of \ our oppressed people. . 1 _ PBlicsohed, That the consummation of this glorious event is another evidence iu the history . of our; nation that the Lord’s hand is not so shortened that it cannot save. ■ t : ' Resolved, ThatHd rules thodestinies ofna tions and holds their future ia’the hollow of’ His hand; and that to Him in the highest we render due honor, glory and thanksgiving. Resolved That we regard the restoration of this privilege as an honorable vindication of the principles of popular government, upon which, the fathers based their early: faith and prom ises, and J,hat herein are recognized our just "claims—bravely won in war,aud fairly wrought in peace—to all the franchises granted to any othef class of our fellow-citizens. Resolved, That in the future,ns in the past, we shall ever be found on the side of loyalty and patriotism, and exercising this high privi lege.to promote tbo peace and prosperity of our whole country; and that, in strict obedience to law, in respectful submission to the genius of our institutions, we solemnly pledge our un ' filtering adherence to tlio Republican party, that has crushed slavery, throttled secession, preserved oiir Government, freed the slave, and enfranchised 800,000 men.* The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. Frederick Doug as being loudly called for, said that the event they were celebrating was its own best speeches. ’No language,could express the grandeur of the revolution through which the nation has passed. - Other nations passed through slavery step by step. The Israelites passed forty years in tlio dosort. The people of San Domingo secured their freedom after a hard struggle. The West India Eman cipation was obtained by a probationshig. But it remained-for this country—this great Republic—to secure this triumph at one blow. He dealt in no hackneyed cant, as thanking God for this great deliverance. He looked upon it as having been wrought out by man without [ any, special interposition of Providence for the abolition ofslaverv. He’objected to such cant, -because-he-found-it-greatly-used by-those-who would do nothing of themselves for the aboli tion-of slavery. It is these who are calling’ "upon us ’to ’ thanlc"God"for ile liverance. His thanks were for those brave men who stood by the cause of liberty and boldly demanded the freedom of the bond man. The Fifteenth Amendment meant that in future, character, not color, was to be the test of manhood, At last lie found himself a man among ihen, and stood before them in the. elevated tad dignified position of an American citizen. llow great is the change ! He breathed, a different atmosphere. Years’ago lie _ weiit forth to meet scorn with scorn, insult with in sult. He went about looking for buffeting, and rarely failed to meet it. Hut. now lie niet with courtesy. A few of the reptiles that were left applied to them as they passed insulting re marks, but they did not sound as they used to ; he was encased in three boxes—the jury box, the cartridge-box and the ballot-box- The higher you go up into the degrees of ’culture the further you get from prejudice, and he cqjjld to-day, with greater ease, get his son into an office to study law than he could Into a black smith’s shop. This country was destined to be : -TITd-wondcr-of-the-world-for-its-dignity-and-its lnimanity to all, without respect to color. There were tliose who believed that freedom was not healthy for the colored man’s constitu tion, and .were consoling themselves with the idea that they were to die out, were to retreat betbi e the White man as the red had; but he be lieyedjn the negro race, and had never seen so many negroes in his life. There never had been a race so subjected to exterminating influences as the colored people. But they had diffused themselvesthrough the nation, and -were des tined to exercise an influence in the. Govern ment. But one of the first things they have to learn is to respect the right to differ. He was a Republican, but did not agree-with those-gha. saidtbatrihAcdlored man-wlio voted the Demo cratic.ticket should be accursed. They must learn to respect law and: order ; they musfT learn scmetliing’of religiotvsilbertyrTle was a Protestant, but, had he been in Cincinnati, he would have voted against tlie reading of the Bible in the public schools—believing that the Government should not be called upon to en force any peculiar religious belief. He threw out these remarks, because there was a ten dency on the part of same men to pre-promise their votes. General Louis Waguerwas Ihe next speaker. He said : I am glad of the honor of being able to speak for the colored soldiers of the war. .Those of us who were there know that the colored troops did “fight -bravely.” Seven years ago, when we called upon these men to volunteer for the country, what inducements could we oiler them? Nothing but less pay, less rations, and, in case of capture, the most, barbarous treatment. But they responded most gloriously; and to-night we celebrate the fruition of their deeds and those of -the soldiers of the Union alltogether. The speaker called upon his newly-enfranchised brethren to stand up for their rights and for the liberty be stowed upon them. Speeches were also made by Alexander E, Colesberry and General Harry White. The following letter from the President wasj read: “ Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., April 16, 1370.—Sin : 1 am directed by the' President to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the i.th instant, inviting him to be present at the celebration of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment on the 20th of this month. j “He desires me to his thanks lor the kind consideration of your committee and the kind expressions contained in your letter. “ His public duties will not permit his ab sence from the capital at that timd, and he regiets his inability to be present and partici pate in- this celebration of so important an event, a celebration in which the whole coun try joins and all good men sympathize. “ I am, sir, your obedient servant, “ O. E. Babcock, Secretary. “N. J. Jones, Cor. Secretary, &c.” Letters from Vice President Colfax, Gov ernor Geary, General O. O. Howard, Senators Scott, Sumner and Morton, Secretary Bout well, Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, and Howard Bay, regretting their inability to be present, w'ere also read. The festivities were closed last night by a ball at Horticultural Hall. The attendance was quite large, and many of the dresses worn bv the ladies were very handsome. The music w r as furnished by the Excelsior Orchestra, E. I). Boland, leader.

HOOPES, Secretary, - tFrom the F»nM»l!OMOtta.J I jrKBI'MAI.KIU. j Again a bitter cry of distress has reached ; Europe from a .quarter too familiar with | calamity. The “latter rain,” the ordinary !! downpour of November and December, seems ♦o have failed over great-part of Syria. . The result was scarcity iu most places, hut in Jeru salem, on Its parched and dreary, plateau, not only were the fruits of the earth in danger of perishing, but there was an actual deficiency of w ater for the necessary purposes ofjifc. As in lf-'flO, so again in 1870, the wells and, cisterns were fast drying upland the scanty supply from the deep springs ,was with diffi culty procurable. We have not hcard whether. the so-called “aqueduct of Pontius Pilate” had failed to deliver its contents; but it is fed only by a paltry source, tbo.so-called Pools of Solo mon, in the neighborhood of - Bethlehem. When jtbat jcsburec 'fails, the inhabitants of the existing city are said to be almost wholly dependent on rain-water. From a letter printed elsewhere we have some hope that after many months rain has fallen at last; news which we are eager to believe. It is scarcely easy for us in this showery climate to realize to ourselves the phenomenon of drought, such as it displays itself iu coun tries which lie'on the bonders of deserts where . It never rains at all. Such lands depend on the last showers, as it were, which distil fitfully from the clouds on their way* to dissipation -over the burnt interior. Droughts mayiast -there, with little Interruption, Tor-several seasons. In Palestine, South Africa,. parte of India, and in'Australia, such disastrous succes sions cif the visitation, though not indeed com mon, • are by qo means unlooked for. More than once. since the reign of King Ahab in Samariq bas no rain been “ sent upon the earth” for the space of nearly three years; and men have been driven, as at this present time, to —go searching “ unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks; peradventtire they may find , grass to save the horses and mules alive.” In Australia, a three years’ drought has visited the settlers more' than once during the short ■ period of its occupation. " Within Jtbese few •years Malta has been similarly visited; the clouds from the .sea, on their road to the . • neighboring continents, passed month after - month over tlie little island without bestowing, on it any portion of their fertilizing contents, until the question of emigration, en masse be gan to bo seriously agitated. And now, in Jerusalem, we are informed that the distress : - ■; and panic that lately prevailed among the in ) abilanls was so great that they deprecated i ! ( anival of Very swarhis of Easter yisi- Itis whose overflow of wealth is almost as welcome in their thirsty land as that of the rain itself. No doubt .it would be a comparatively easy task for Jjie" rich Jews of Europe who still cherish a tender devotion for the city of David,: or for the Christian nations which assume the privilege of guarding tbe'Sepulphre, to provide . - effectually against the recurrence) of all this misery by bringing ertifieial supplies of water to Jerusalem. It was not always at the mercy - of the elements. as- it ‘ seems to 1 -be at present. ' In ancient times, when it was a much larger place than now, it seems to have labored under no similar-want: —Srrabcr rather . oddly des -1 cribes it as -a “ well-watered, spot in a waterless: region.” Just before the siege under Titus, it is described by Josephus as bordered on the north side by some, miles of groves' and gar . .., dens. T-be site ot that lost' verdure is now a perfectly arid plateau', and the stream of water which is mentioned by ancient writers as irri- gating it has • disappeared, no one knows how.' .Some ;are, fond of. attributing the desic cation of the country to physical causes, such as the destruction of forests. But even if we were to attribute to that circumstance so great a possible effect towards diminishing local rainfall as some - physiologists- suppose—and receul resciircljutf 11 u,\ 6 ulade tiilii a rtty tionable supposition—there is no reason for.be - lieving that Palestine was a forest country within the time of history. It is more probable - that the only change which has taken place is in, the ruin and disappearance of ancient ~ aqueducts. And these might be restored, or new ones contrived, without any extravagant expenditure. The mass of the central plateau of Palestine is of porous limestone, which re ceives and preserves the rain-water in very deep recesses, and these burst forth in copious' though rare springs, which the engineering skill of the present day might raise aud distri bute over the ;par.ched city and its environs, until Jerusalem became by art what Damascus is by nature. But would it he really wortli while, except as a mete act of relief to present disLress, to ef- ’ feet the change ? Would humanity or civiliza tion really gain by it? Jerusalem is a city of sentiments,not of realities. It has not, it can-’ , • not eyer have, speaking according to reason able indications, either trade, or manufactures, or neighboring agricultural prosperity. It exists ' • for curiosity, not for use. To many derout minds, no doubt, tlie interest of maintaining and embellishing, at any cost, a place- conse crated by such memories would be of tlie highest order, did cicetfmslances ad mit of its indulgence. To keep up Jerusalem as a shrine of universal prayer- and praise, in which those of the older and newer faith .might meet as on common consecrated ground, would be a project most caplivatiug to the refined religious enthusiasm of our day. - -Butrit ris necessary, however humiliating, to look at the oilier side of the picture. The re stored Jerusalem might be a favorite dwelling for enthusiasm, but it would most a&suredly be a specially favorite seat also for poverty aud mendicancy and imposture. „ A city without trade or industry, maintained by the devotion of strangers, nnfst be this and nothing else. The present Jerusalem, wretched though it be, | is such already: Such is Mecca;,finch is Lhasa,' ~ ' the Buddhist capital of Tibet; and such is liome. Of all holy cities Benares alone seems to have escaped this destiny; ,it is described by Bishop lieber as “a very!inddstriojis’ and wealthy as well as very boly i; city.-" But this exceptional prosperity it owes to its grand commercial position on tlie Ganges, iu the heart of - Northern India, an - radvahtage r which nioro than, compensates -‘-for -herds of sacred elephants and troops of sacred, mom keys, for a thousand temples and three , hun dred and thirty-three mosques. Without such natural gifts a city as naturally and inevitably lapses into beggary as an English market town with charitable foundations into pauperism. And with indolent beggary comes all’that in eradicable vice and squalor for which religious zeal in vain seeks or imagines compensations. —" And surely it is. well that the law of 'social economy sjhould thus ~,vindicate itself.. It thus gives its powerful'aid tb- the resentment which' arises in serious minds against tlie weakness of local worship; that modified form pf idolatry eongeining which Milton protested in some of • his noblest lines: 1 1 - “ To teach thee that God attributes to place , Ho'sanctity; save what is thither brought By men who there frequent, or therein ; \ dwell.” .- V’, 1 " ‘ 1 ■ ■'> THE NOIITH rOLE.
