r Ot "MONDAY, JANUABY 12, 1863 air We can take no notice of anonymous commu nications. We do not return rejected Manuscripts. Voluntary correapondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments.. When used, it will be paid for. • , Some European Matters. The last European mail brings news which exposes some of the underworking of England in the important matter of effecting, such a settlement of the Greek question as will be satisfactory to Europe, as well as Greece. England's cloven foot of , intrigue is visible all through. The facts are few and plain. • A few months ago, the Greeks, by a bloodless revolution, expelled the Bavarian Prince, O'rrro 1., who had, been their King since January, 1833, and declared the throne vacant. It has not yet been ascer tained whether English intrigue was used to effect this decisive result. Orno has long been unpopular. At once, with a sudden simultaneousness which is strangely suspi cious, a cry arose that the English Prince, ALFRED, (a midshipman of the mature age of eighteen) should be elected King, .and this has since been carried out. France and Russia would have liked to see the Due of • Leutchtenbcrg, nearly allied to the Emperor and, the Czar, placed upon the throne of Greece, but Eng land, it was . known, would object to this, from a jealousy of increased Russian and French influence in the Mediterranean. To balance the question ; France and Russia have reminded England that the Treaty of London in May, 1882, by which Russia, France, and England placed Gino, of Ba varia, on the throne of Greece, expressly provided that under no circumstances should a member of the reigning families of these three great Powers be eligible for such a po sition. England, at the risk of a • serious quarrel with France and Russia, must put a veto upon the acceptance of the crown of Greece by Prince ALFRED. England, to whom the so-called Republic of the lonian Islands has long been troublesome and costly, has offered to surrender Ahem to Greece, which would .thereby gain, what ought have belonged to her from the first, a territory. of 1,001 Square miles, and abottt 250,000 inhabitants. It rests with the three Powers to unite in recommending a prince to the Greeks. Queen - Vicrottn. suggested to her Cobotug cousin, King FERDINAND, (father of the reigning King of Portugal,) that he should become._ a candidate, but that Middle-aged gentleman, who enjoys a large income and the dotes far 'dente in Lisbon, begged to be excused.. Then, if the last news be true, Queen VIC TORIA suggested Prince. Louis of Hesse, her own son-in-kiw,) but the young man is reported also to have begged off. The Morn ing Post, PALMERSTON'S own newspaper, published a statement that Queen VICTORIA was lineally descended from the Imperial family of Greece, by the marriage of IRENE of Constantinople with PHILIP 11. of Ger many, seven htmdred years ago, that Prince Louts of Hesse was also of Greek imperial extraction, and that his Ivife, Princess ALICE of England, would be a - first-rate - Queen of Greece, with his aid as .Prince- Consort, after the manner of Vteraare and ALnEwr ! It strikes us as highly piobable that the Count de FLANDRES, second son of LEOPOLD of Belgium, (and a Cobourg to boot,) may obtain the favor of the three Powers which assume the right to force a monarch upon Greece. Already the expediency of establishing a reiniblic is mooted in Greece; but European Legitimacy abhors republican institutions,' .and it appears that Queen VICTORIA'S pro- posal to surrender the lonian Islands was conditioned on the maintenance! of rho narchy in Greece. The peoples of Europe are in favor of republican, but the princes of Europe eagerly cling • to monarchical in stitutions. • Between them the " muddle " in Greece may long continue: Cotton and Its Consequences. The Parliament of Belgium has done, in the case of the communes suffering from the cotton famine,. what England:and France will have to do also, and to a much greater ex-• tent. It has voted a large sum to be appro priated for their relief. In Beighim, in 1859, 64,000 bales of cotton, - weighing 27,290,000 pounds, were worked up and 050,000 spindles were at work—this isis,:small - ikif*, as re gards 81;000,000 spindles in the .factories of Great . Britain and 8,500,000 Spindles in France. One of the earliest measures which Lord PALMERSTON will have to 'paSs, in the coming session of Parliament, must be a grant of public money to relieve the British out-of-work cotton operatives. If we' con sider all who are employed ill building the factories, making the machinery, buying and selling the raw and manuthetnred material, 4,000,000 persons are dependent upon the prosperity of the cotton trade for their livgii hood. Their distress is a national matter, and must be provided for by a national grant—as wits done for the starving and sick Irish in 1847 ; though, on that occasion, when the sum of $50,000,000 was voted by Parliament, it was expended in: such a fool ish manner, that it did little good to those whom it Was intended to relieve. Up to this time, private charity has kept the Lancashire operatives from perishing from starvation, privation, and sickness. The practical and liberal benevolence of the United. States, already nobly exercised in favor of famished Ireland, in 1847, is now . pouring in food for unfortunate Lancashire. A four-line paragraph in the (lately) PRESS, announcing the shipMent at this port of 5,000 barrels of flour, destined for the suf fering poor in the manufacturing districts of. England, tells a great deal—but tells only part of our charitable action in this matter. In England, too, private charity . has done much. The manufacturers themselves, who arc clearing away their enormous accumula tions of stock "at immensely increased prices, - and thereby realizing large fortunes, while the unemployed operatives totter on the verge of starvation, have not • exhibited much liberality towards their miserable slaves: The aristocracy and the .mercan tile interest (outside of cotton 'connexion) have largely subscribed.. The Earl of Derby, himself a Lancashire man, has given $25,000 to the relief fund. Queen Victoria, who draws a separate income of $lOO,OOO a year as Duchess. of Lancaiter, subscribed $lO,OOO, which, for her, is a mere trifle. The Prince of Wales, who has just come into possession of his Duchy of Corn wall, with its income of $124,000 a year, and into an accumulation of twenty-one years' back-rents, variously estimated as a gross sum of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, has giver $0,0012 to the Lancashire opera tives. We find little mention, and small expression of gratitude, in the English journals, for the princely humanity which, despite of the manner in which England has acted during our present war, has actuated the United States to relieve the pressing wants of starv ing Lancashire. The charity will be ac cepted, no doubt, but as coldly and sus- piciously as were our contributions to relieve Irish distress in 1847,, when it was gravely , objected, by some wiseacres in Parliament, that American charity to Ireland was merely .a political trick to curry fairor with the Irish, for the purpose of annexing Ireland to the United States, or, at least, of helping her to - become an independent republic 1 That :objection was grumblingly made, iu 1847, .and by those who seriously expressed what was believed by themselves and some others. We arc curious to learn what will now be , said. of American liberality to the starving English operatives. Perhaps it may be objected that we want to annex .1 4 altashire itself? Jacob Barker's Paper Suppressed. Nxw Tons, Jan..ll.—Advises from New Orleans to the 3d instant state that Jacob Barker's paper, the Notional Advocate, published an extra on the 24, containing rebel reports of victories at Memphis and Vicksburg, and Jeff Davis' speech of Jackson. This caused a ferment, and the rebels were hilarious and saucy. On the morning of the 3d Gen. Banks sent a corporal's guard to 'Barker's office and the Advocale was for the third time suppressed. This step gave great satisfaction to the Union men, LETTER FROM gc OCCASIONALOP WABBLINGTON, January 11. The Daily Morning Chronicle of Saturday contained the advanced sheets of the Ja nuary number of the Continental Monthly, being a review of. "Our Finances and of the report of Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury; by Hon. R. J.. Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury." I. aye read this review with great care. -It is a 'searching and elaborate vindication of the so-called bank plan of Mr. Chase, and is one of the most powerful articles that have yet pro ceeded from the pen of Governor Walker. He supports this pl.o as a necessity, not as a choice, and argues as a prime :reason for giving it his sanction ." that the proposed connection 'of' the banks with the.Govern merit is notpolitical, and is attended with, none' of the . formidable .objections to the late . Bank of . the. United States:" He thinks that if the measure recommended by Secretary Chase became a law, "it would furnish a • currency, approaching specie more nearly than -, can be accomplished in any other way, and because, when the war is over, it provides the best means for a re-: turn in the shortest possible period to specie payments." He insists that this 'system is better than that 'of _a new and . more nume-• rous issue of treasury notes; because if - such issue were now authorized, these notes. would further depreciate, and to the . eitent of that depreciation augment our expendi tures, and perhaps indefinitely postpone the resumption of specie payments. - He '''Argues that the new bank plan of the Secretary, by which a uniform currency would :be se cured, would be incalculably beneficial to the brave men in the army and navy by prevent ing the depreciation of the money in which they are to be paid; and hence by rescuing them and their families from loss ; and he distinctly says that any member of Congress voting for the policy of an increased paper currency outside of the recommendations of. Mr. Chase, would vote to reduce the pay and pensions for our troops, to annihi late the allotments made by them for the support of their families, to reduce the value of the-wagesof labor ; and, in fact, to embar rass the prosecution of the war, and to pre pare the way for repudiation and - disunion. If Congress ehall sanction the Secretary's plan, thew says Governor Walker, "the new banks will become fiscal, agents of the Government ; their circulation would be uni form, furnished by the. Government, and based on United States: stocks, the principal and interest of which would be payable in gold. The interest,of labor and capital of the banks, the government, and the people, would for the first time become insepa rably united and consolidated. Every citizen, whether a stockholder of the banks or not, would have a direet and in calculable interest in their success and pros perity." Gov. Walker, in 1846, was the champion of the divorce of the Government from the banks. He now pro Poses to re store the union as recommended by Secre tary Chase, on the ground that just as you strengthen the banks and increase their capital and profits, you will fund more.and more treasury notes, and save the country ' from:a depreciated and redundant currency. He believes• that if the . Secretary's plan is adopted treasury notes • Would begin to be absorbed at once, and rise in their market value. The. notes of the banks to 'be re organized on the Secretary's theory are guarantied not only by the. stock of the Go vernment itself, but by the whole capital and 'property of the banks, with a prior lien on this capital and property to secure their ultimate redemption and present value. They would be received by the Government for all dues, except eustoins, and would of necessity become a sound, healthy, and equal circulating medium. The Governor would provide a .twenty-year. loan as the basis of the new bank-note circulation. ,He would deduct one per cent, semi-annually from the interest of these bonds an equivalent for the expense of the povern . - ment in furnishing the eirculatioti; 7.etc. ; "all other bank circulation should hii-taxed one and a half per cent. semi-annually, se cured by adequate penalties." Governor Walk& believes that if, with the assistance of Congress, this idea is carried out, so as to give the people a sound currency, secure to the Government vast loans, at an annual interest .of only four per cent., Secretary Chase "will have accomplished a financial . miracle, and deserveda faire nearest to that of the first and greatest of his predecessors, the peerless Hamilton." He next proceeds ..to argue, .with.;...ninehaorce, ".that all State. bank currency._ is unconstitutionay and Under 'this head accumulates a inaSs•of an dimities wineh cannot fail to interest financiers and statesmen, politicians, and the _people at large. The subjoined' pas sage is at once striking and new : hellion proVes , the awful danger of State violations of the Federal Constitution. The :rebellion is the child of State usurpation, State supremacy, State allegianee, and - State . secession. ,And no2O the Government is paralyzed financially in its efforts to suppress the rebellion by a question as. to State banks depreciating the currency, and State banks based. on, State stocks." Regarding the city of New York as the point froin which the greatest opposition will come to the Secre taryos plan, because. there the greatest amount of banking capital is accumulated, : he makes an appeal to her bankers and peo ple not to persevere in a course which must end in their ruin. And he concludes his splendid production with the following in vocation to Pennsylvania : "And what of Pennsylvania, that glorious old Commonwealth, so many of whose noble sons, cut off mostly in the morning of life, now fill graves prepared by treason? Is she to beCome a Border State, and her southern boundary the line of blood, marked by frowning forts, by bristling bayonets, by the tramp of contending armies, engaged in the car-_ nivel of slaughter and revelry of death? Is New England to be recolonized, and the British flag again to float over the chosen domain of freedom ? What of the small States, deprived of the secured equality and protective guarantees of the Constitution, to be surely crushed by more powerful communities? What of the Nest? Is it to be cut off from the sea board, and rendered tributary to the maritime power? What of the States of the Pacific I Are they to lose the great imperial railways, destined, under the Union, to connect them with the valley of the Mississippi and the Atlantic? But alas! why look at any of the bleeding and mutilated frag ments, when all will be involved in a common min? "May a gracious Providence give us all the wisdom to discern what is best for our beloved country, in this her day of fearful trial, and the courage and patriotism to ndopt whatever course is best calcu lated to save us from impending ruin !" OCCASIONAL. Public Entertainments. • GE/IN AN OPERA.—To-morrow evening, the Ger man Operatic. Company, from New York, under the leadership of Carl Anschutz, will commence a short season at the Academy of Music. The first perform ance, to be given to-morrow evening, will be Flo tow's Opera of " Martha, or the Fair atßichmond," often attempted here. in an'ltalianized version, but now to be rendered in the original language. The company, having had some month's successful prac tice at New York, will be able to produce this opera' here, as'an entirety, as near perfection as possible. The dramatic vocalists, chorus, orchestra, and leader, are completely practised in it, and a decided success may be counted on. er ARCH-STREET THEATRE.—Miss Caroline niehillga ' enters into the second week of her engagement here this evening. She appears in Sperry's comedy of "Extremes," and will be assisted by Messrs. Frank Drew, Barton Hill, Peter Riebings, and `Mrs. C. Henri, and others. "The Enchantress" is in preps . ration, with other operatic plecei, among which we 1 may mention " Satanelia," not yet performed in.this 1 city. IWALNUT -STREET THEATRE.—Laura Keene, and her attendant satellites, will be succeeded here, this week, by Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, who will break ground in three national dramas—" The Fairy 1 - Circle," "Customs of the Country," and "The Irish 1 Tiger." Mr. Williams, in his own line, is Undoubt -1 edly the best Irish actor on any stage. Lately, during his New York engagement, he has gone out of his usual line, and gained no small applause in one of Power's best parts—Sir Patrielc. O'Plenipo, in "The Irish Ambassador." It is to be hoped that he will, in his present visit here, carry out an old inten tion of his, of playing Sir Lucius 0' Trigyer, in "The Rivals"—always provided that anything like a re spectable Sir Anthony Absolute can be pressed into the service, for the nonce.

The following is the paper drawn by Senator CoLLA ITER, and presented to the President on the 18th of December last, by the committee of nine, of which he was chairman. It is proper to say that the injunction of secrecy has been removed. A meeting of the Republican members of the Senate of the United States, at which they were all present but two, after full consultation, came una nimously to the following conclusions—one present not voting : Firs!. The only course of sustaining this Go vernment, and restoring and preserving the na tional existence, and perpetuating the national in tegrity, is by a vigorous and successful prosecu tion of the war—the same being a patriotic and j ust war on the part of this nation, produced by, and rendered necessary to suppress, a causeless and atro cious rebellion. Second. The theory of our Government, and the eariyand uniform practical construction thereof, is that the President should be aided by a Cabinet Council agreeing with him in political principles and general policy, arid that all important, public mea sures and &ppointments should be the result of their combined wisdom and deliberation. This most ob viously-necessary condition of things, without which no Administration can succeed, we and the ifublic believe does not now exist, and, therefore, such se lections and changes in its members should be made as will secure to the country unity of--purpose and action in all material and essential respects, more especially in the present crisis of public affairs, Third. The Cabinet should be exclusively com posed of statesmen who are the cordial, resolute, unwavering supporters of the principles and pur poses first above stated, Fourth. It is unwise and unsafe to commit the di rection, conduct, or exec'tion of any important mill tary operation, or separate general command or en terprise in this war, to any one who is not a cordial believer and supporter of the same principles and purposes first above stated. The Republican Senators of the United States, en tertaining the moat unqualified confidence in the pa triotism and integrity of the President, identified, as they are, with the success of his Administration, profoundly impressed with the critical condition of national &Mars, and deeply convinced that the pub lic confidence requires a practical regard to the above propositions and principles, feel it their * duty, from the positions they occupy,-respectfully to pre sent them for Executive consideration and action. The Porter Court Martial. On the reassembling of the court this morning, Mr. Eames, one of General Porter's counsel, read an elaborate review of the evidence. on both sides, drawing conclusions in favor of the accused, and was followed by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, who read the following as GEN. PORTER'S PERSONAL DEFENCE. MR. PRESIDENT ARD GENTLEI4IEIN : My defence is now concluded. Before, however, I deliver it into your hands I hope to be indulged in some remarks more exclusively personal. - To speak of one's self in terms of commendation is always unpleasant, and is generally against the laws of good taste, but there are occasions .when it becomes unavoidable. The Sensibility- which it then wounds must submit to the infitction, because a higher sensibility demands the sacrifices. • . When A soldier's; honor is impeached, his loyalty assailed, and even his cowardice insinuated—when the safety of his country is said to have been pur posely and causelessly hazarded by him, in the in dulgence of some low, petty, contemptible motive—it cannot be expected that he is to be restrained by the delicacy which belongs to the ordinary inter course between gentlemen. .1.1 his - past life gives the lie to the charge—if it exhibits conduct totally inconsistent with its truth —if it speaks a nature that would revolt even at the thought of the crime—if it evinces a long and peril ous course of duty and an ardent and ever-enduring love of country, a constant zeal for the honor of its flag and an undying devotion to its service—if, in . the present crisis of its history, from the first mo ment that unhallowed ambition started on its career of treason, he has given himself, with sleepless vigilance and - amidst countless hazards, to do what he could to put down the foul rebellion and reinstate the authority of the Government—if, until the un fortunate Virginia campaign of last summer, his services were approved by the' public, by his' brothers-in-arme, and signally acknowledged by the President-,if these' are-facts, he will be excused for proudly invoking them as an answer to the false. and groundless imputations upon my' duty and .honor as a citizen and a - soldier. What, then, has been my history? • 1 : First. I served, then, being a mere youth, in the Mexican war, throughout the resplendent campaign of Lieut. Gen. Scott, *and was actively engaged in the several battles of Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Molino del Rey, Chepultepec, and the city of Mexi co. I entered on that service as brevet second lieu tentant of the 4th Regiment of Artillery, and was breveted as captain for distinguished service in the battle of Molino del Rey, and a major •for like ser vice in the battle at the city of Mexico. Second. In February, 1861, I was ordered by the then Secretary of War, Holt, your judge advocate, to proceed to Texas for the purpose of withdrawing as many of the troops as I could from that State, and thereby counteracting, as far as possible, the then recent unexampled and base treachery of Gen. Twigga, • Amid great difficulties and much personal peril, I succeeded in rescuing seven. companies—in all five hundred men—and in posting two of them at Tort u gas, two at Rey West, and taking three to New York. The whole duty was performed to the perfect satisfaction of the Department. Third. In May, 1861, I was commissioned as colo nel in the regular army, and in August a brigadier general of volunteers, and afterwards served through out the Peninsular campaign, under Major General McClellan. At the siege of Yorktown he constituted me director of the siege. In the battle of Hanover Court House I commanded a corps in the fifth corps of the Army of the Potomac, including all the regu lars. In the battle of. Gaines' Mill, my command being about 27,000, I lost, in killed, wounded, and missing, 9,000 men—a fact which tells the severity of the con- Met. In the battle of Malvern Hill, a site selected by myself the day before the fearful and last struggle, with my own corps, which was joined by the com. mands of Sumner, Heintzleman, and Couch, each of whom engaged in or cheerfully rendered every assist ance in their power, amounting in the aggregate to some eighteen thousand men, through the skill and gallantry of ray officerii, and the indomitable bravery of my troops, I succeeded in totally repulsing, and with slaughter unexampled in any modern battle fo long-continued, desperate, and most gallant assaults, from thirty to fifty thousand of the enemy, evidently as brave soldiers as ever trod the battle•fleld. For my services at Hanover Court House .T. re ceiVed the recommendation of my chief for brevet of brigadier general in the regular army, and the like recommendation, for services at Gaines , Mills, the brevet of major general in the regular army. This recommendation is dated the 9th of July, 1862, and is at follows: H.BanQueirrnits ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, CAMP NEAR HARRISON'S HATt, July 9, 1862. To Me lion. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: SIR : The energy, ability, gallantry, and good con duct, displated throughout the eventful period of this campaign, through winch we have passed, by Brigadier General Fitz John "Porter, deserve the marked notice of the Executive of the nation. From the very commencement, his unwearied as siduity in his various duties, the intelligent and efficacious assistance which he has rendered me un der all circumstances, his careful manaaement of his command on the march, in the siege or on the field of battle, and his chivalric and soldierly bearing un der fire, have combined to render hint conspicuous among the many faithful and gallant spirits of this army. I respectfully, therefore, recommend that Brigadier. General Fitz John Porter receive the brevet of brio:: dier general in the regular. army for the battle of Hanover Court House,- May 27th, and the brevet of major general in the regular army for the battle of Gaines' Mine, June 27th.

Judge Advocate HOLT said he would not present any written reply to thi arguments of the defence, for the reason that he did not wish longer to detain the . generali comprising the court from their duties in the field.

There was a. fair at tendance, notwithstanding the pouring rain, and on the platform were Mr. Asa Hutchinson, the well known vocalist, with his lady, pretty daughter, and two sons, who interspersed the speeches with the no less eloquent songs of freedom. Front the keen insight, intellectual, power and superior knowledge of the speakers, on all matters pertaining to slavery, we were,led to anticipate a prophetic programme of the gradual working of the proclamation ; but re ceived only a general assurance that a happy result could be relied on. It is to be regretted that the ad mirable oratory long displayed by them has not been familiar to every resident of this city, and nothing but a prejudice against the anti-slavery cause has deterred the masses from hearing them. Mr. James Mott, president of the society, opened proceedings by announcing Mr. Robert Purvis as the first speaker. Mr. Purvis, in a powerful address, congratulated the country on the glorious era the proclamation had inaugurated, and concluded by re marking that as he stood on his native soil, and gazed upwaids on its noble emblem, he could now fully realize that the one was the flag of the free, and the other the home of the brave. Mr. McKim, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Anti- Slavery Society, then spoke as follows : M. Crrainarail : We are here to-night to cele brate the'auspicious event that has ushered in the new year; the most auspicious, on this continent at least, of the century. The Ist of January, 1863, will be set down by the future historian as the comple ment of the 4th of July, 1T76. What the Declaration of Independence was to the war of that period, the Proclamation of Freedom by Abraham Lincoln, is and will be to this war. 1t marks the culmination of the revolution. It is an act which insures the continued progress of the movement, and makes retrogression impossible. We never, thank God, can go back to the old state of things—the state of things that existed when the slave-power of the South, and their allies of the North, ruled over the country with a rod of iron. We are here, Mr. Chairman, for the purpose of mutual congratulations ; to felicitate each other on the pleasing occurrence that fills all minds, and for the sake of our country, our cause, and our kind ; to rejoice and be exceeding glad. It is no part of our business to discuss on this occasion points on which there may be a difference of opinion among our selves. We are not here to examine critically, much less hypercritically, the document that has brought us together; but receiving that illustrious paper for what it is worth—nothing more, but cer tainly nothing less—to say of it what is meet; what the decencies of the occasion, and a .proper regard for truth, , may seem to require. Some will say : "Your rejoicing is premature: The end is not yet. You had better wait till sue eess shall have justified the measure you are cele brating. It is the end that crowns the work." The same may have been said eighty-six 'years ago, when the immortal proclamation went forth to the world the voice of a new-born nation. When Han cock and Adams, Franklin and Rush, and their as sociates were shaking hands In Independence Hall, felicitating each other on what had just transpired, and when the people outside, standing on the very ground we now occupy, were rejoicing amid the ringing of bells and the booming of cannon, timid, unbelieving souls were doubtless saying : "Not so fast ;'you are too sanguine; you know not what is before you. The thing is as yet a mere ex periment; wait for some proof of its success before you begin to celebrate it." Others—croakers then as now—sordid, selfish souls—with views circum scribed by their 11\51 interest and ease, doubtless said : "You have undertaken 'an impossibility. You never can conquer in such a contest. You will have to make peace at last, and the sooner you do it the better:: Propose an armistice and get the best terms you can. The interests of humanity forbid the further effusion of blood." Sympathizers there were then—men whose hearts wert withithe armies that were fighting for the prerogatives of the crown, and the establishment and perpetuity over this conti nent of aristocratic Institutions; and these apnea thizers said: "You will bitterly rue this hour. You are only adding to your troubles. This audacious act, when the news of it shall reach London, will only incense the British more and more against you. It will stimulate them to new efforts, and put new vigor into their warlike measures." " Let it," was of course the reply. "We are prepared for that re sult. We know what we are about. We are con tending fora principle ; our struggle is not merely for our own independence ; we are fighting for liberty for our ourselves and all mankind. In such a con test failure is impossible; ultimate triumph is certain. Truth, justice, and the " auxiliar gods," are on our side, and final success, though it may be delayed, is sure to crown our efforts." And the result justified the confidence. But this result did not come immediately. It was not till more than five years afterwards that Lord Corn wallis surrendered his sword at Yorktown, and the success of the revolution was duly acknowledged. How long it will be till this revolution shall be a fact accomplished, it is given to no man to say, but that. it will be an accomplished fact—at some time not far distant, and in a manner to vindicate the policy of righteousness—to "justify the ways of God to men," and I, for one, have no more doubt than I have of any event yet in the future. - - • -"`• - I have said that this was a supplementary revo lution. It is such. It is a revolution made neces sary by the incompleteness of that of our fathers. They laid a broad basis, but they built upon it an imperfect superstructure. They declared that " all men were born equal, endowed by God with certain inalienable rights, and, among them, 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." These truths they fought to establish; but, after succeeding in so doing, lamentable to say, in an evil hour, in a weak mo ment, they adopted a compact among themselves which put fresh rivets into the chains which held one.fifth of their own people in bondage. It will not do to say, they did not mean to do this—they did it. It is not enough to say that they were compelled to it by the exactions of a menacing minority, and that it was intended_ merely as a temporary expedient, adopted to insure united effort against a foreign foe. The fact remains the same—they did it ; and the temporary expedient proved a permanent and para mount law, the consequence being that the 600,000 slaves of the country have multiplied into more than 3,600,000. After our fathers had issued to the world their Declaration, they caused to be cast and hung in'the dome over the building in which the immortal paper was adopted a bell, bearing the motto,"Proclaim liberty throughout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof." But this bell, when rung could utter no sound alt was cracked, riven from tip to stem, utterly ' unfit for its original purpose. It was the spirit of idafery that did this. There it hangs, in yonder hall, a voiceless but speaking monument of a glol_ rious and, at the same time, of a- disgraceful tact.. . symbol-a striking symbol—striking in the_ ,•fact . that it cannot strike. I Mr; Chairman, it would be a good idea, at this time, • while we are correcting the errors of our fathers, to repair the breach in the bell. I Purpose, therefore, this being a proper occasion, that we have a new ben, made of the right stuff, and that . will have the ring of the genuine metal ; that it , shall bear the same glorious motto, be hung in the same dome, over the same old Hall of Independence, .ao that it may ring out in a glorious chime, " Li ' hefty throughout the land, and to all the Inhabitants thereof." Mr. Chairman, in noting the analogy between this and the former revolution, it is proper to ' say that this is not the first time that a'parallel of this kind has been traced. From the beginning of our movement; the ieiremblanCe between the • twO movements has been a constant subject of remark. When the anti-slavery ship was brat lituncted— when its keel was laid—when the enterprise was at first started, it was formally declared that the movement was but the conclusion of what our fathers had begun. In 1833 a, delegated band of men—till then un known, except in the person of their leader, and since then only known to be denounced—assembled in this city, as a National Convention, to organize the anti-slavery movement. They met in the Adel phi Building, in Fifth street, below Walnut. Presi dent Green, of Oneida Institute, a learned man and an eloquent advocate of the cause, was chairman, and Lewis Tappan, then only known as the brother of Arthur Tappan, and Sohn G. Whittier a young poet, and at that time without fame, were its secre taries. The Convention. sat three day; during which they adopted a- declaration of sentiment and a programme of measures which they published to the world, and from which allow me to read an ex tract. I will say, in passing, that, as Thomas Jef ferson, the apostle of the that Revolution, drew up its declaration of principles, so William Lloyd Gar rison, the apostle of the second Revolution, drew up the declaration pertaining to that. I quote : More than fifty-seven years have elapsed since a band of patriots convened in this place to devise measures for the deliverance of this country from, a foreign. yoke.. The corner-stone upon which they founded the TEMPLE OF FREEDOM was broadly this: 'That all men are created equal; that they are• en dowed .bv their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, LinenTr,?and the - purimit of happiness.' At the sound of their trum pet-call three millions of people rose up as from the sleep of death, and rushed to the strife of blood; deeming it more glorious to die instantly as free men, than desirable to live one hour as slaves. They were few in number , —poor in resources; but the honest conviction that T.nuTil, JUSTICE, and RIGHT were on their side, made them invincible. "We have met together for the achievement of an enterprise without which that of our fathers is in complete, and which, for its magnitude, solemnity, and probable results upon the destiny of the world, as far transcends theirs as moral truth does physical force. "In purity of motive, in earnestness of zeal, in decision of purpose, in intrepidity of action, in steadfastness of faith, in sincerity of spirit, we would not be inferior to them." Here follows a statement of the principles and measures, showing the analogy, and, at the same time, the difference between those of our fathers and our own. - The declaration thus closes : " These are our views and principles—these our designs and measures. With entire confidence in the overruling justice of God, we plant ourselves upon the Declaration of our Independence and the truths of Divine Revelation, as upon the Everlasting Rock. "We shall organize anti-slavery societies, if possi ble, in every city, town, and village in our land. " AVe shall send forth . agents to lift up the voice a remonstrance, of warning, of entreaty, and rebuke. "We shall circulate, unsparingly and extensively, anti-slavery tracts and periodicals. , "We shall enlist the pulpit and the press in the cause of the suffering and the dumb. "We shall aim at a' purification of the ehrirches from all participation in the guilt of slavery. "'We shall encourage the labor of freemen rather than that of slaves; by giving a preference to their productions • and "We shall no exertion nor means to bring the whole nation to speedy repentance. • ' " Our trust for victory is solely in God. We may be personally defeated, but our principles, never. 'Truth, Justice, Reason, Humanity, must and will gloriously triumph. 'Already a host is coming up to the help of the 1..0rd against the mighty, and the prospect before us is full of encouragement." • To the princiPles laid down' in this declaration we have adhered for thirty years, turning neither to the right nor to the left. To the programme of mea sures here laid down we have adhered, without any essential variation: The result is before you; we are here to-night to celebrate it. The final result has not yet come,but when that shall be re ached it will not merely be the "members and friends of the Penn sylvania. Anti-Slavery Society," but the people of the wholelarid, including join cspecially the sable mil lions now in bondage, willin the jubilation, and 'swell the chorus till the vaults of Heaven shall re sound with joy. llr. Chairman, I have just returned from the city of Washington. While there, I had the honor of an. interview with the President, an honor for which I. was indebted to the °tilemica - the distinguished Sena- - tor from Massachusetts. ; In the course of converse-. tion, the late eloquent speech of the Hon. ht, in behalf of America, came up, as a topic: • Th President expressed great delight, and said he• had been particularly struck with its felicitous close, Aa a matter of rketorie r he thought the last sentence • was particulailY beautilul, and be took up and read the - last sentence, which you will remember was, gracefully rounded by a line from Pope. I took:the liberty to say, "Mr. President, that lea beautiful sentence f but, if you will allow me to say so, not any mose..heauti -ful than the closing sentence of your speech, nor calculated togive a thousandth part of the pleamire which that sentence is now imparting.• L allude) of course, to the last sentence of your proclamation, in which you said r. 'And upon this act,' repeat thglhe sentence at ,length. The Senator.frontallaa. sachusetts joined heartily in this sentiment, andit he President gave another _turn to • the convereation.. And now, Mr. Chairman, allow me to, conclude with a word In reference to that same seisbence. It is, Though, at the end, the key-note, as well as the crowning glory of the document The "act of.jus tiW and "military necessity,'" which are put in juxtaposition, show in their• ender the. animus of . The, whole matter,. and. tell the- whole. atory. The motive before God is the "aot ofjustice; the legal justification before num is the warrant or the Con, stitution "upon a Military necessity." It is a fitting conclusion of an illustrious State paper. Now, Mr. Chairman, I will oonolude these re marks with the President's conclusion of hia'procla mation, knowing.that you will join with all your hearts in its last clause : I 9 And upon Ulla act, sincerely believed to Pc an • act of justice, warranitedinbi.yoktheett(lea7nlitatkk a niaden?ti therneo:qagirr...tgapedi_Oredfi:,.sl4::stl . a military necessity, tent s of mankind, mighty God. a 0 1,,,• Green Atthe was sloinaet introduced P. , The event which we meet to celetii n st,.. - ...
