OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
rnn.ADm.ruiA. Oct. 10, 1869.
Mit. I'htTOR:—Sine© my last a somewhat
eventful week has passed away. "The In-
tiih'l Association of the I'nited States ' as-
sembled in convention, on Monday morn-
ing last, nt Franklin Hall, for the inter*
change of "liberal sentiments," and for the
purpose of ascertaining the best and surest
way of preventing the spread of Christian-
it v. Y es, it is even so—a handful of men,
hi to speak, a mere drop in the great ocean
of lite, striving to turn the mighty current
of human destiny the contrary way. "This
uiuy they hope when everlasting fate shall
yield to tickle chanco and chaos judge the
fctril't." Full twice the space that meas-
ures day and night to mortal men did they
i unveno, winding up with a violent phillip-
ic, uttered by their champion, (Joseph liar-
kcr,) against all those whoso mission is "to
j,reach the gospel to every creature." They
have engaged Siuil'ord's opera house for
•■ight months for Mr. Darker to lecture in
on Sunday evenings.
I he Philadelphia Baptist Association as-
t inbled in convention on Tuesday after-
noon, in the lhoad street Baptist Church,
corner of Broad and Brown streets, to cel-
eliiate their one. hundred am], fifty-second
umiversary. The same afternoon, (Tues-
day,) at four o'clock, the American Board
of ('oinnii'-sioners for Foreign Missions
convened at the First Presbyterian Church,
(|{ev Albert Barnes,) Washington Square
iiid Seventh street. By the financial re-
port it appears that their expenditures far
exceed their income. The indebtedness of
ilio Hoard at the commencement of the
present financial year amounts to $t>G,.T74,-
i:t. The Rev. George B. Cheever, 1). D.,
presented for the consideration of the
Hoard, on W ednesday morning, a memori-
al on the suhjoct of the African slave trade,
which he hoped each member would sign,
in order that the memorial, with their
names attached, might be sent to the fede-
ral legislature. Numerous expedients were
resorted to, to preveat its being considered
< hi motion of |{«y 1 >r. Pond, it was refer-
red to the business committee, which com-
mittee, at the last session of the Board, rev
ported adversely t<> it%> ix\optlon, which re-
port was adopted without deliate. The
whole subject, with the memorial, was re-
ferred to the prudential committee, as was
ivecininended l»y the business committee's
report At the afternoon session of Thurs-
day, the discontinuance of the Choctaw
Mission being under consideration, I>r.
Cheever offered an amendment to one al-
ready pending, and upon it ho based along
anti-slavery upcech. The amendment of
l>r. Vheever was laid on the table, on mo-
tion id llev. Mr. Mills. At a quarter to
one o'clock, Friday morning, the Board
agreed to discontinue the Choctaw mission.
The reason alleged for discontinuing this
mission by the prudential committee, is,
that slave-holding is permitted among
church members of the Choctaw nation.
At the close of the morning session of
Friday, the Board adjourned sine die.
They meet next year at Boston.
The, Philadelphia liaptist Association
adjourned without doing anythiug of gen-
eral interest except passing resolutions as-
serting their belief in the sanctity of the
Sabbath, «Xrc, 1 hoped that before this bo-
dy adjourned it would have a word to say
upon "the perplexed question of social eth-
ics," but upon that question it was mum.
It is with particular pleasure that 1 no-
tice the movements of our people, and am
h ippy in being able to say that the work of
reform moves slowly and steadily on.
tjuite a goodly number of both sexes
assembled at the Sliiloh Baptist Church, on
last Tuesday evening, to give both coun-
tenance and support to the movement re-
cently started among us. I refer to col-
lections in the churches to aid the commit-
tee of gentlemen who were appointed at a
primary meeting to prosecute to a termina-
tion the right question of riding in the city
passenger railway cars. The collection at
this meeting was larger than at any previ-
ous meeting. This I hope is an indication
of increasing interest in vthe matter. At
the meeting in question, Rev. John Givin
a >ted as chairman, and Mr. Parker T. Smith
as secretary. There were no speakers pre-
viously announced to address the meeting,
but several gentlemen volnnteerod, among
whom were Mr. Kandall Green, Rev. Jere-
niiah Asher, Ilev. John Givin, (the chair-
laan.) Mr. George Goinea, Mr. Daniel Col-
ls , and others. The latter gentleman, I
am sony to say, did uot see eye to eye with
>lie committee, and whether from ignorance
'1 the facts in the case, or design, I know
u°t, but from one or the other, he attempt-
to thwart the movement by layiug ob-
stacles in the way. He said the whole
was started wrong, and that Mr.
well that Mr. Colly had remembered Col.
Crockett's motto: "Always be sure you're
right, then go ahead." Much confusion
was created by Mr. Colly's speech, amid
which several went out, but others more in-
terested continued in the meeting, and con-
tributed of their means quite liberally.
Before the meeting adjourned ten dollars
and eighty-three cents was collected. The
committee into whose hands the monies
thus collected are entrusted is regularly
organized. Mr. George W. Goines was
chosen President, and Prof- 1"-*- D. Bassett,
Treasurer.
I am happy to learn from your agent in
this city, Mr. Jacob C. White, Jr., who is
agent both for the "Anglo-African Maga-
zine" and the "Weekly Anglo-African, that
the paper has increased considerably with-
in a few weeks, owing to the fact tliat Mr.
Robert M. Turner is engaged canvassing

mends itself wherever it goes.

deliver his great lecture—"Self-made men"

OUR NEW HAVEN LETTER.
Nrw Have*. Oct. 11, 1859
Dear Anglo:—Sunday last, the 9th in-
staut, there was quite a religious festivity
among the colored religious public of the
Elm City. The distinguishing feature of
the occasion was the consecration of the
religious edifice, recently completed, be-
longing to a congregation of the A. M. E.
(Bethel) connexion, of which the Rev. Mr.
Sanford is pastor. In the absence of the
lit. Kev. Paul Qninn, senior Bishop of this
connexion, who has charge of this Episco-
pal District for the present year, the Rev
Jacob Mitchell, of New Bedford, Mass.,
conducted the consecration ceremonies in
accordance with the ritual of the Methodist
Church.
At 10:30 A. M. a clerical procession en-
tered the church, repeating the twenty-
fourth 1'salm, and proceeded up the centre
nisle to the altar. This procession consist-
ed of the following clergymen: Revs. Ja-
cob Mitchell, Wm. D. W. Schnreman, Wm.
II. Chase, E. B. Davis, J. H. Jones, I.
Sanders, Jos. Long, and A. L Stanford.
All these are ministers of the Bethel con-
nexion. There were also present in the
congregation, the Rev. Mr. Washington,
pastor of the A. M. E. (Zion) Church of
this city, and Rev. Theodore Doughty
Miller, pastor of the Baptist Church.
The consecration sermon was preached
by the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, in the morning;
in the afternoon the Rev. John Dudley, a
Congregational minister of New Haven,
preached; and in the evening the Rev. D.
W. Shureman held forth in tho sacred
desk.
The church was filled at all A^hese ser
vices, but in the evening it was crowded to
its utmost capacity. Not less than 800
persons were present at t..e third service.
A fine choir had been trained for the occasion
under tho encouragement of Rev. Mr. Stan-
ford, who executed some set pieces with fine
effect. This, of course, was not in accord-
ance with some of the notions of the Meth-
odist "fathers," but Mr. Stanford, who is a
progressive young clergyman, declared it
to be bis intention to foster this modern in-
novation in Methodical usages.
The church cdifice is nearly finished,
with wide galleries on each side, and a spa-
cious loft for the choir in front. Besides,
there is a well-finished basement that can
bo used for a lecture and class room, in
which the congregation has worshipped for
two years past, prior to the completion of
the upper part.
The New England Conference of the
Bethel connexion will assemble in New
Haven, next year, and this fact has been
an inducement to the congregation to thus
push their church edifice to completion.
And here, before leaving this subject, let
me say that Mrs. Burch, (tho wife of Rev.
Charles Burch,) took the opportunity of
this festive occasion to extend the hospi-
talities of her house to all the strange col-
ored clergymen present in the city, togeth-
er with those resident here, by inviting
them and their wives to dine with her on
Monday, the 10th inst. Twenty-s:x per-
sons sat down to dine on that day under her
hospitable roof. The Her. Mr. Miller of
the Baptist, and the Rev. Mr. Holly of the
Episcopal church, were not able to be pres-
ent until the rest of the company had
dined, in consequence of the former being
called to attend the funeral of a child of
Mr. Jackson, that died of croup; and the
latter also "being called to officiate at the
funeral of a child of Mr. Douglass, that
was accidentally scalded to death. Theae
funerals took place about the dinner hour
appointed, and prevented tba presence of
were present the elite of the city. And
we must confess that it is a very long time
since we have been in such a company of
beauty, fashion and intelligence. The la-
dies, with one or two odd exceptions, were
dressed, of course, in the " amplitude of
the fashion;" and not unfrequently we
were brought into contact with which
only tended to fasten upon us the convic-
tion of the extreme agreeableness of this
feminine amplification, especially in view
of the comfort which it affords at a crowd-
ed table. But everything went off well.

Its unparalleled success has brought a multi-

are of a poisonous nature, but the t>est class of

purchasers should always see that the name of

the imitations, but their object is to make a large
profit, as they can buy them for much less thau

Life of rev jermain w lo-
GUEN. The biography of Rev. Jermain W.
Loguen is already written "by an able pen, and
would be at. once published but for the j>ecuniary
responsibilities incident to its publication.
The undersigned, therefore, issue this circular
to the friends of Mr. Loguen and of the Under-
Ground Railroad, of which he has been, and still
is, a faithful superintendent, to donate or sub-
scribe for the publication. The amount of money
to be raised to insure its publication is $1,500—
sum quite too large for Mr. Loguen to assume
to be consistent with his duties both to the fu-
gitive and to his family. WTe therefore invite the
I riends of Mr. Loguen and of the slave, by way of
donation or sul>«cription, to make up the sum of
$1000. . .
When #1000 is thus subscribed, the book will
be immediately published, and the subscribers will
receive the amount of their subscriptions in books,
if they wish. All over that sum Mr. Loguen will
himself assume.
There are few men whose history is so marked
with stirring incidents, instructive h-ssons, aud en-
couraging examples. as Mr. Loguen's. It contains
the peculiarity of Mr. Loguen's childhood, bis
daring escape from bondage, the perils and hard-
ships he endured in his passage to freedom, and
the acts of subsequent manhood, which have hon-
orably connected hi* name with the moral and po-
litical causes of the last twenty years, which, to a
large extent, have made the subject of African
priaaipal(
pursuant to this act, and shall be sacredly applii
to that purpose ; and if at any time tho sinking
fund shall be insufficient to comply with the re-
quirements of this section, the Comptroller shall
increase the sum thereafter to be levied and col-
lected by tax in each year, so as to make the fund
adequate for the purpose aforesaid.
See. 5. Tho fourth section of this act, imposing
a tax, may l>e repealed whenever the revenues of
the canals, after meeting all present constitutional
charges upon them, shall amount to enough to
form a sinking fund sufficient to pay tho interest
and redeem the principal of all loans within the
eighteen years mentioned in the first section of
this act.
Sec. 6. This act shall be submitted to the peo-
ple of this State at tho next general election, and
tbe votes given for its adoption shall be endorsed
"Constitutional Loau," and shall be in the follow-
freSdom the living topic of private and public cir-
