Dedication of the New Armory of the
National Guards.
BRILLIANT MILITARY DISPLAY
[Reported for The Prose.]
The dedicatory, services at the new armory
of the National Guards in Race street, below
Sixth, took place yesterday afternoon. The
military display was one of the finest we re-
Member to have seen in this city, notwith
standing the inclement weather somewhat in
terfered with the very complete and extensive
arrangements which, had been made for the
occasion. Three brigades wore ordered oul,
,add their appearance was extremely credita
ble. The military were formed at 3 o'clock
in the following order:
General Win, M. 'Riley; commander; *elm:
Root, and ot•Uer staff "oftleprs: ' "

The Washingtoo Grays, who were at the

The National Guards had in line ono hun
dred and twenty-eight amen, and, as usual,
were the theme of much admiration.
The'procession reached the new huilding of
the' Guards shOrtly before five o'clock. 'The
main hall was brilliantly illuminated, and was
thronged-by large numbers-of ladies and gen-
Cowen. After all the companies had taken
their positions in the hall, at five 'o'clock;
the Philadelphia band, number 1, performed a'
"national melody," composed for the occasion
by Thomas Coates.
Rev. Philip F. Mayer then offered an earn
est and impressive prayer to the throne of
grace, in which he invoked the Divine blessing
on the new edifice which has recently been
erected through the patriotic zeal of our vol
unteer soldiers.'
At' the conclusion of the prayer, the band
performed the "Priests' Chorus," from the
Opera of the 4c Magic Flute."
John , W. Forney , was then, introduced
tb the vast audience, and delivered the fel

Itt CAlfie ono Of the leaders otAtie;
American lavolittion, was the companiOn and
confidant of Washington, the staunah suppor
ter of Patrick - Henry, the friend•of Lafayette,
and served throughout the struggle with dis
tinguished valor.
The noblest effigies of the human race are
the statues of •thtige military leaders which
adorn the capitals of the old world and the new.
If the marble memorials of the Tamerlanes,
the Cyruses and the Harmlbals of ancient ages,
are not to be found, we know that, they have
existed, and may even now be bulid in the
deep bosom of the earth, with the mighty
cities which they decorated. But the traveller
often lingers round the base of those mute
but eloquent statues which still remain. What
lessons they teach; what recollections they
revive! England, with her monuments to
Richard of the Lion heart; to the soldier
statesman, William of Orange, to Nelson and
Wellington; France, with her brilliant•capi
tale adorned with the effigies of her great
captains; Charlemagne, the Child of Destiny,
Napoleon, and his galaxy of Marshals, Desaix,
Noy, Sachet, Museums, and the rest; the
Arch of Triumphs, crowned with representa
tions of the battles of •the First Revolution
and the Empire ; Versailles, with its long gal
leries, decorated with statues of Bayard, Fran-
cis the First, and others; Brussels, with the
figure of Godfrey de Bouillon ; Breslau, with
Blucher; Berlin, with Frederick the .Groat;
Dresden, with Augustus the Second ; St. Pe
tersburg, with Peter the Great; Italy, her
cities beautified with statues of those who
fought under her flag, In all her long and
chequered career—some perpetuating,the
'weaknesses, and others the wonders of heir
lives—what lessons do those memorials teach
to us—what recollections theyrevive !

We may read the record of nations, while
gazing into their stony eyes. We may almost
see their silent arms lifting the dim and dusty
curtain of the past, and their now t , barren
sceptres , ' pointing back over the long proces
sion of events in which they were the grandest
and most commanding figures. It is unneces

It seems 't o the prevalent idea, at least
among<supertle 1' thinkers, that the military
profession is W oily antagonistic to the peaces
Jed and benig spirit of Christianity., The
:general fact,. ndoed, is indisputable, that
i
Christ's missi on the earth was in all its
1
essential aspec one of peace. He came to
1 re-establish the unity of the human race—to
obliterate parti , sects and distinctions—not to '
divide, but to bind together, all countries, and

applaud, and admire, and would encourage the
martial spirit of our countrymen ; but I appeal
to Government and to statesmen ttgainst that

blood and carnage brothers and friends, when
cool reflection might have otherwise decided.
But if the volunteers of the Ur ited States
rendered efficient services to the country in
the Mexican scar, under conimand of General
Scott, their achipveufetrt at the battle Of Buena
Vista was a still more striking proof of their
inestimable value in the dark hotir of national
peril. In that direful conflict, as it will be
remembered, the burden of the fight depended
upon the Ametfean volunteers, many of the .
regulars having been withdrawnfrom that line.
The terrible battle in the Valley of Angos
tura was decided by the volunteers. Ot tho
5,000 troops comprising the American army,
more than four-fifths were volunteers; the
regulars consisted of the artillery, dragoons,
and staff..
It is true, high credit belonged to the regu
lars; it is Bue the stubborn courage of
Gen. Taylor, who did not know when he was
beaten, was the element which pervaded the
whole conflict, and gave hope to the little
army that threw itself like a thunderbolt
against the overwhelming columns of Santa
Anna; .it is true that but. for suck officers as
Davis, Bragg, and Montgomery and Reynolds,
and many others, the day mighthavebeen lost;
but history will write In gloWing characters that
on this field, as well as upop all others, the
American volunteer was true to his whole
duty. • , ,
Gentle Men of the National Guards?—This
magnificent structure Which you this day
dedicate to the cause of your country, anti for
which PhiladelAia is indebted to your own
energy and enterprise, is one of the finest
military edifices hi. our 'Union, and the only
one over erected by a single volunteer com
pany. It is the temple of the cititon soldier!
We dedicate It in this martial presence, confi
dent that it will also ever be the temple of
honor and of patriotism: It has risen imoll its
gracefill proportions within a little more' than
a single year; It has grown' up from the
voluntary efforts of a corps of gentlemen who
aro animated by the noblest of emotions—the
desire to servo their country, and to be ready
for the emergency When BIN may require their
services. Long may it stand a monument of
their superiority as soldiers, and their excel
lence as citizens. But may it continuo to be
the home of Peace, and not the rendezvous of
War. May the martial lessons here inculcated
never be forgotten; but may they never be. I
put in medico. Should they ever be de
manded, however, may they find the members I
of the National Guards as veady to stand forth'
for the flag they carry and the name they bear,
as if each was resolved to avenge an intll
- wrong.
The volunteer:soldier of America is no hire
ling. lle is always a freeman. He isnot the uni-.
formed pageant Of Peace; he is the first to rush
to the flag of his country when the clarion of
war thrills through the land. It fa then that
his training in tranquil times is admired and
emulated. It is then that his ready subordik
nation to his superiors is so .pniversally ap
plauded. It is then that his relations and his
advantages as citizen and soldier sooth and
comfort him. His love of country ; his
position among the ffriends he has left behind
hint; his self-respect, and that bright future
which a grateful publiejthveys holds up before
the distant patriot, apd in which, as in a
mir
ror, he can see himself; returaing from a well
fought field, crowned with honors, and,-
umentst—ln what other land upon Which ti
sun shines is such an inducement bold gut

is honored only as it fawns at this fea•siClol
of power, or obeys the autiunons to popular
massacre I And if not In these, She most en
lightened of European nations, we may sea ;
for it elsewhere in vain.
But you have other duties to discharge. In
times of peace, you owe something to the
A s_4lto. You are made dalttettip4.- iv •
you' arelcite - tOtddlor. ,fgrap pate
of honor which you short] learn Ittitiat fkesi ,
(meat communion with your companions, In
creases your reverence for the laws, and your
regard for the feelings of your felloci-min.
You become more and more responsible for
good government In your city, your State, and
through your whole country, in proportion as
you become room and more able to defend them.
You rapidly become prouder of the name of
an honest man, and more eager to corn and to
deserve the title of a true gentleman, because
your military education heA taught • you that
the soldier who Is not the soul of truth, who
does not kindle at the story of a wrong done
to weakness or to womanhood, who will not at
all hazards risk his own life to save a fellow
creature from injury, and who is not scrupulous
in all his observances of. the proprieties •of
life, should be tried by a drum-head court
martial and dismissed from the roll of his
corps.
But your ditties do not end here. They aro
always beginning, and never ending. You
call yourselves the "National Guards!"
This is not a.mere title chosen without moan
ing; it is significant of a rare responsibility;
it is a pledge of devotion to the most delicate
and dangerous labor you can ever be called
to discharge. Tour country may have other
foes but those who threaten deer from beyond
the sea.. She may tetve hereafter, as she has
had heretofore, vipers at her own hearthstone,
warmed into greatness by her bounty, who la
turn may seek to wound her to the death. Fana
ticism may rear its bloody flag, and stretch
forth its parricidal arm to conduct a conflict of
sections; the bulwark of the nation, the for
tress of our civil liberties,may be threatened;
the laws of Congress, passed to enforce the
pledges of the Federal Constitution, may be
assailed ; in that dread hour it will be
the duty of the National Guards to take
the front rank, and, it may he, to leadthe forlorn
hope against the enemies of the Republic.
Long may such a calamity be averted by a kind
Providence; but if it should ever come upon
us, the same spirit that induced the fathers to
defend the soil against the invader, will rally
the sons to protect the Union against her
enemies. But there is still another respon
sibility devolved upon you. You are the
troops of the city as well as of the State and
the nation; and upon you and your comrades
ilAirms will rest the responsibility of protect
jug Philadelphia from those disturbances which
occasionally threaten the order and well-being
of society. This is that service which, of all
others, most repulsive to the volunteer sol
dier. rie population that surrounds us is not
like the population of Europe. Every citizen is
here a sovereign in this land of popular sover
eignty Every man is here a part of the State;
he is an, American by birth or choice, and obeys
the laws, Out merely because they are necessary
to him, but because npou his obedience depends
ttliqreservation orthe liberties of the whole.
ITO him andio hie children, wealth and fame,
like the brbad . avenueS Of a great - oily, are
open. 'He' may staer in the calamity of na
tions, NMI Cannot be long. Let him rather
bear the Mahe has than fly to others that he
knows not of. Let him turn from,the dema
gogue who, in such an hour as this, for his
own selfish purposes, seeks to disturb all the
great interests of society, and still further . to
impoverish thososwho depend upon their daily
toil. Let hint compare this country with other
countries ; his own lot with the condition of
the surging and suffering people in other
lands ; his G overnmeut, debt:free, credit pure,
honor unsullied, with those dynasties which
aro now rocking to their overthrow, anti
which, when they do fall, will again 1111 Europe
with blood and with crime. Let hint see the
'public schools open to his children ; let hint
acknowledge the bounties of Providence in the
fruits of the earth which have been gathered
lbr his uses ; let hint feel that charity is
abroad, that a spirit of concord and co-opera
tion is plucking up our fainting commerce
front the grent deeps of bankruptcy, and is re
storing to animation the interests of labor and
of industry. Surely to preserve these blessings
we should all be willing to bear our temporary
burdens yet a little longer; surely, with such
a prospect near us, and before us, we should
calmly await the passing away of the night. If
we are patient and forbearing, we shall soon
enjoy the good time coming. May you,
the defenders of the city, be left to your
own peacend pursuits, be permitted to remain
la your avocations in private life, be called
upon to act the .part, not of an armed force
against your•own brothers and friends, but to
take the lead, as moral heroes, in stilling those
discontents which, when Want crouches at the
cold hearthstone, and Henget', like a gaunt
wolf, pursues the suffering poor, driving hun
dreds to madness, may convulse a great city like
ours. And when the storm is passed, you and
your brothers will find that yott are the better
disciplined for the trial you have endured, and
that your arms have been burnished, not for the
domestic evil but for the public enemy, and that
you will be far more eager to protect the
country, which, without a standing army, main
tains peace in all its borders, and in a moment
of universal distress is rescued front the tate
that befalls other nations, by that spirit which
binds its citizens together as one family, and,
which Upholds the American Union astbe best'

Fito.ll AFRICA.
The following extract from a Jetter,•lately re
ceived from a gentleman now engaged in or
nithological pursuits, in the Gaboon country,
on the Western coast of Africa, will be inter
esting to many of our readers. It contains an
account of The country, its inhabitants, • and
the prosecution of the slave-trade, with some
useful suggestions in regard to them:
FERNAND-VAZ RIVER, Aug. 19, 1857.
The largest town of the Cape Lopez people
is Saixatanga. This town is the residence of
the king, and lies in a beautiful prairie at the
foot of a hill risineabout two miles in the in
terior. It is a great resort for slavers, and a
few years ago was an' extensive slave-market;
even now the slave.trade is quite' brisk. There
are two or three Portuguese factories constantly
buying-slaves; and within the last two mouths
large numbers of canoes have come into this
river, and left with a living freight purchased
with money. The N7zareth and (lama, or
Fernand-vas rivers, are convenient and easy
roads for the traffic in slaves ; and often, when
the slave -vessels are pursued by cruisers,
they enter the Nazareth and hide them
selves In the numerous creeks flowing Into
that river. Barracoon is the name given
the place where the slaves are kept, and
to alt the establishments of the slavers. The
whole Is surrounded by a very high fence, and
the barracoon is properly a large and airy house
in the midst of a yard surrounded by another
high fence. There is always a man on guard.
The slaves I saw were tied,six by six together,
with a chain aroundtheir necks, and when one
moved the rest were obliged to follow him.
The slaves otherwise were well eared for, having
plenty of food, and being kept clean. Talking
is entirely forbidden, though I should not
think it wen necessary, as the poor creatures
come from is great many different tribes in the
interior, and generally cannot understapd each
other. The sick are kept apart front the main
body, in order to prevent any contagious
Alisease with which they might be affected, from
spreading. It is astonishing to see with what
rapidity three or four hundred slaves are' put
on board a vessel. 1' have been told by the
Cape Lopez people that the slaves think that
Ohite Men buy them in order to cat them in
our own country,
This traffic in slaves; which has been going
on for eo long a time at Cape Lopez, has made
tho inhabitants a lazy, saucy, and drunken
people. They think they can deal with an
honest man as they,are in the habit of doing
:with the slaves, who have to submit to all ports
of vallainies at their rands, and they are the
greatest rin.driukers I ever saw, rum being a
powerful element in the traffic of slaves on this
part of the coast. I really do not know which
aro the worst off—those Who ably in Africa, or
those who are shipped to foreign lands to be
Slaves; but for my part, if I had to choose, I
would much rather be a slave in America
than live here : in Africa as the Africins do.
Civilization has made the negro of America
a different being.from the native African. The
Former enjoys more comeatand is of some use
to himself and to society, whilst the latter has
no borritorts, is hardly clad, and is so lazy that
half of the time be is hungry, not having lire
ambition to procure himself food. I have the
greatest difficulty in procuring food for myself
and people, and that; too, when offering them
goods in exchange which they prize.very highly ;
and it is.the same with every white man here.
The houses of these people are poor and dirty,
and their inmates, stretched on mats, try to kill
time during the day by sleeping. At night they

and benevolence to work some practical good.
The Cape Lopez people speak the UM
language as the .31epongwese, and incontestably
belong to the same tribe. The soil of Caps
Lopez is generally light and sandy. Ttr.
country presents quite a different aspect fro;
that between the Fernando Po and Gaboo.
Jivers, and resembles the country of &tithe
Africa towards the Cape of Good Hopi, flier—
being extensive prairies, in the midst of which
large groves of trees aro numerous. In tbes
groves the people have theirplantations. Tb •
soil .1a good, and sweet potatoes, cassada.
plantains, ground-nuts, and sugar-cane are
planted in large quantities, and form the main
staple of food. Sweet potatoes, in particular,
grow very well. Good roads .could be easily
made through the country, and would be
powerful aids to civilization; and the rais
ing of cattle could be made a profitable
business, as the 'prairies would afford goo(
grazing. A good many wild cattle are seen
wandering all over these prairies. Water

I travelled was very thinly populated, tho peo
plc loving to stay on or near the banks of the
Gaboon and Nazareth rivers and their tributa
ries. There is groat want of a good harbor at
Sangatanga, vessels being obliged to anchor
six or eight miles distant from the shore. I
think the neighboring country of the Nara
teth would afford a much better field for colo
nization, for the water communications are
very numerous. But Ido not see really how
Africa can be colonized with the present lazy
population. The only trade until now has
been in tho natural wild products of the coun
try—slaves.
THE TARIFF.
[For The Preu ]
PRILADSLPIIIA, N0T.16, 1867
MR. EDITOR: I have read over an article
signed G. MM.," in your valuable journal
to-day. I, for one, am in favor of a realanablt
tariff; but no tariff can be of any use to our
own people if you will entrust the regulation
of the currency to foUrteen hundred rag-mills.
called banks, the tariff and .the currency . Is
REALLY ONE QUESTION. With a sound currency
—a currency amply sufficient to keep all out
people PIMA' employed,but not in such excess
as to fill the pockets of speculators—the pre&
oat tariff might answer; but you may add to
the tariff until you make every article pay
one hundred per cent..duty, and if you then
multiply the rag-shops, called banks, and make
2;800 of them instead of the 1,400 *e now
have, you will soon find a tariff of one hundred
pea cent. insufficient to keep our factories
open and our people employed. We would
bu overwhelmed by foreign goods made under
a sound specie-paying currency. But to your
correspondent, (( G. licit." I quote as ful
ler% s :
Suppose that the next Congress should grant this
monopolizing class all that tt want,. where would
it be a year after o The very stimulus that would
be supplied by such legislation might cause more
mines to be opened, more fantorici to be built,
more minerals to be extracted from the earth, more
machinery to bo put into motion, than will be re
quired for the next generation, and the individuals
who are at present engaged in these enterprises
might be ruined by the domestic competition which
would at once arise.
The coal, and iron interest has had its fAir share
of good fortune. See the many millionaires in
our midst who have emblazoned on their escut
cheon—the black diamond and the iron sceptre
with the appropriate motto; ,• Iron to cool our
enemies, coal to warm our friends." •
Now, Mr. Editor, dm protection is to in
crease the competition, lower the price to the
consumer, and break all our own people. Let
us see further what your correspondent says :
Place a high tariff on foreign maaufvtures. and
you offer an incentive to smuggling, and the honest
merchant is obliged to contend with the most un
scrupulous parties. Men a prohibitory tariff on
foreign toenufacturvi, and you will soon find
brancbes of the leading est , iblishments of Man
chester arid Lyons opened on our seaboard, taking
advantage of the protection which will be afforded
to them just as much as to oar . own citizens, con
quering the climate, by the mil of the premium
our revenue (1 laws tam! them, having at the
same time their leading concerns in Europe, where
they can raise money at low rates, and fa a few
years our own manufacturets will be ruined. A
change of policy will then be adopted by our law
makers. In the meantime, foreigners will retire to
their homes with pockets well lined.
llcro we have a different view, under the
panic high dutics,that breaks all our own peo
ple. These foreign manufacturers are to con
quer the climate and lino our seaboard with
manufactories, Is not this the very thing we
want 7 If they will bring their CUEIP CAPITAL
and their GE.AAT SKILL to our shores, and em
ploy our, people, ought we not to bid them
welcome, and should we not rejoice in their
prosperity ? But ho v cam they be prosper

of words aro not alwayi a lot of good 111 Mi.
What we wantin this country is ptais common
