Ifojran, unexpeeUdly ealled Uj> on, expressed Jiits gratitiid;; that in the heart of a Southern, rohoi, and former l> slave State, lie, with his hearers, eould eelehrate in tue spirit of freedom the dav of freedom s hirlh. The flat* which lie now held in his hand was the emblem <>l Sreedom to every one in the land not to those only oecnpying a partienlar seetion, hht to all within the wide iimil.s <J tlie country. Kreedoin of flionylit, trie doni of aetioii, and freedoin of eon s.eieiii e, m re the hirlhrieht allotment.* j of everv one born upon the soil. The I realization ol this nglit had just come to the experience of the colored men' in the country. Mr. 11, showed the workings of frei repithli-a-i «*, as developed in the North; how these : ideas had created sympathy for them • in bondage; had tired tile hearts'of j the jieople in tlie late conflict to prose cute the war until the rights, guaran- 1 teeil to all in the Constitution, were se curer! to the slaves., Tlie Republican party had been the means of purchasing freedom for tlie slaves. This same party would now confirm in State constitutions this freedom. No colored man who pre ferred bis freedom to slavery, but would vote this Fall, and always, for the Republican party. It bad befriend ed bis.rights. Tlie Democratic Robert Toombs K. 11. Hill-Rebel party was for jiiiljiny duim the colored men, and virtually restoring him to slavery. Mr. 11. could not doubt the course tin.-colored men would take this Full in voting. Mr. Abraham Smith (colored) follow ed Mr. 11., endorsing the principles just advanced; and, as a colored manhim elf, urged to practically carry out tlie same this F-11 by voting to a man “for Ihc (Jonri at in; He regarded the Republican party of to-day as embody ing ail of principle and high-toned gen erous scut iment possessed in the general Constitution ; that in the strength fur nished by those principles, this party bad been able lo unite, and hold united, the North in the prosecution of the war. These pi inciples t riuniped in the triumph of the war. Mr. S. continued Some assert that our old masters are our la st, friends, but, I do not so under stand iy. Ife could not make such a deduction Iroin their acts and sayings. He thought that any man, or set of men, who opposed the freedom of his race, arid their equal participation in the blessuigs of political and moral rights, were the worst, enemies the ne gro had. He remembered the day when their old masters offered to give every poor white, man who would go and light to hold his race in slavery, a negro ; and many ol these poor men had returned I rum the battlefield of slavery less a leg or an arm, and with no itiyro to mirt for them. * y * * * The colored people should all vote together, so as to protect labor against all mijurt legislation. Shall we vote with the Democrat*? Never, while the sun gives light! Never will ur vote withuny party who supported Andy Johnson in his vetoes of every bill passed by the Republican members oi' Congress which had for its object our protection. |to m; coNTiNi; t;i>. ] Importance of Learning a Trade. \\ e extract the following sensible and timely remarks from the Phila delphia /jcdycr : There is a growing tendency among short-sighted parents to pul tlieir boys in offices, under a false impression that such occupation is more genteel than tiie learning of a trade. This is a most mischievous notion, and one that is likely to entail upon their children , troubles and sorrows and heart-burning during the rest of tlieir lives. All business is subject, lo fluctua tions, which the wisdom of men and of governments have thus far been unable to control, and wlu-n a commercial or financial depression occurs, those who are the first, to sutler, and among the most, helpless victims are book-keepers, clerks, copyists, and office attendants '•! every k■ and. Vt such times, the workman r mo. -'rot the mechanical trades can find I yment on his own account. lln shoe-maker can make shoes or mend them ; the tailor can make garments or mend them; the painter and glazier, the car penter, the bell-hanger, the lock smith, the plumber find the gas-fitter, find many others that will occur to the reader, can search lor and find odd .jobs that will give them at least, the meansoi living. Theskilled man, with tools at his command, is, in most re spects, master o| the situation. Rut die clerk, the book-keeper, the office I attendant, are helpless. They cannot establish mercantile, commercial, or in.'iinifaelmiiig houses, to give cm ploy - | meut to themselves. They must wait j many and many a weary day until the season or the years ot depression are over, betore they can find that employ ment for their pens which they have unfortunately made their sole means of livelihood. Ail this is another of | tin’ lamentable results of having learned j no trade in childhood. “ What brought you lo prison, my colored friend *• Two constables, sab ?” “ Yes, but I mean had intemperance any thing to do with it ?” •• Yes, sah ; dey was bofe of deni 1 drunk." Josh Riflings says; “1 never bet any stamps on the man who is always telling what he would have done if he had been there. I have noticed that this kind never get there.” M e are told by philosophers that shutting the eyes make the hearing more acute a fact that may account for numerous closed eyes on Sundays. WORLD'S EXHIBITION, The pageantry of this memorable exhibition has drawn to a close. By letter from the correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, dated July 2d, we are furnished a graphic description of the magnificent closing of the Fair. Our columns will permit but the fol lowing extract, containing the closing address by Napoleon. After a state ment by M. Koulier, Minister of State, showing the success of the Fair, the Emperor rose and said: Gkntj.emkn : After an interval of twelve years I come, for the second time, to distribute recompenses to those who have most distinguished themselves in the labors which enrich nations, embellish private life, and soften manners. The poets of antiquity celebrated magnificently the solemn games in which the various peoples of Greece came to dispute the prize of running. What would they say to-day if they witnessed these Olympian contests of the entire world, where all the nations, competing by intelligence, seem to flush forward, all at the same time, in the career of infinite progress towards an ideal, which is ever approached, but never attained. [ liOiid applause. | From all points of the earth tlie rep resentatives of Science, Arts, and Man ufactures, have hastened to assemble together, and it may be said that peo ples and kings have come to honor the efforts of labor, and by their presence crown them with an idea of concilia tion and peace. [Renewed applause.] In fact, in these great meetings, whieli appear to have only for their object material interests, there is always a moral thought which is evolved from the competition of intel ligences- that of concord and civiliza tion. Nations, in drawing nearer together, learn to know and esteem each other; hate becomes extinguished, and this truth becomes more and more accredited—that the prosperity of each country contributes to that of all. | Ap probation. | The Exhibition of 1867 may justly be called Universal; for it unites the elements of all the riches of the globe; by the side of the latest improvements of modern art appear the products of the most remote ages’, so that they represent at the same time the genius of every century and every nation. It, is certainly universal; for, by the side of the wonders which luxury produces for some, if has paid the deepest atten tion to what the necessities of tlie great est, number require. 'Never have the interests of the laborious classes awak eiifcd a more lively solicitude. Their moral and material wants, their educa tion, the conditions of cheap existence, and the most productive 'combinations of association, have been the object of patient research and serious study. Thus, all improvements progress side by side. It science, in subjugating matter, emancipates labor, the culture of tlie mind, bv suppressing vices, pre judices and vulgar passions, sets hu manity free. | Loud cheers.] Let us congratulate ourselves, gen tlemen, on having received amongst us the greatest number of sovereigns and princes of Europe, and so nianv eager visitors. Lot us be proud, too, in hav ing shown to them France as she is, great, prosperous and free. [Cheers. | One must be destitute of all patriotic faith to doubt her greatness—close one’s eves to evidence to. deny her prosperity, and ignore her institutions which are sometimes tolerant even to the extent of license, not to perceive the liberty existing here. Foreigners have been able to appre ciate this Franco, formerly so unquiet and spreading her disturbing influences beyond her frontiers, now laborious and calm, always fruitful in generous ideas, applying her genius to the most varied marvels, and never allowing her self to be enervated hy material enjoy ments. [Applause.] Observing! minds will have easily divined that, notwithstanding the de velopment of wealth, notwithstanding the attraction towards general comfort, the national fibre i< alwavs ready to vibrate when a question of honor or of country arises; hut this noble suscep tibility cannot be a subject of appre hension for the repose of the world. Let those who have lived some short time amongst us carry back with them a just opinion of our country; let thorn be convinced of the sentiments of esteem and sympathy with which w< entertain for foreign nations, and of our sincere desire to livg.in peace with them. [Cheers. | I thank the Imperial Commission, ♦he member of the jury, and the dif ferent committees, for the intelligent zeal which they have displayed in the accomplishment of their mission. 1 thank them, also, in- the name of the T’rinee Imperial, whom 1 was happy to associate, notwithstanding his tender age, in this great undertaking, of which he will preserve the recollec tion. [Applause.] The exhibition of 1867 will mark, I hope, anew era of harmony and of progress. Assured that Providence blesses the efforts of those who, like ourselves, aim at doing good, I believ e in the financial triumph of those great principles of morality and justice, which, in satisfying all aspirations, can alone consolidate thrones,exalt, nations and ennoble Immunity, j Long contin ued cheering.] The story of Dr. Livingstone’s death is confirmed in all its particulars. Reckoning ujiuii the practical effects to the country, especially the South, of the stand-in-way policy persistently being followed by President Johnson, the Chnrlestoh News, referring to At torney General Stanbcry’s recent ex position of the Reconstruction laws, says: “ Will the Republican party who passed this act, and who have resolutely supported the ac tion of tlie military commanders, desert Gen. Sickles in such a case ? Will not the i-tvie thus made berm nr a party : <sue, and who is la pay the costs of the controversy but our uvj'ortunah selves 1 this is not the fit st time that tee have made to jviy far our euntideii', in the President, lie un dertook to restore ns to the Union, if we would perfurni certain conditions. We fulfilled them —have we been restored ‘t What has lie suc etrjb ,1 in doinc that he has undertaken to do* Upon every occasion, from the convention be tween Sherman and Johnston to the Recon struction act, he lias finally yielded, and we atom have suffered from the resistance, ilc have too much at stake now to repeat onr errors ” Um'oKMKii |Di rcii | Ciifiwit.— During tlie last forty j cars the churches of this body have increased from 150 to 4.'i4 ; the membership from JO,OOO to 50,000. The last decade has hecn a specially prosperous period. In it more has been done lor educational purposes than within the previous century. In 1857 the receipts for do mestic missions and building fund were a little over SIO,OOO. The re ceipts for foreign missions were $12,- 203. The statistics for JHG7 show 444 churches, with 101 ministers and 8 can didates; a membership of 67,846, with 21.339 catechumens, in connection with 30.340 families. During the ecclesias tical year, 4,2s t wore received on pro fession, and 2,347 by certificate; 037 adults and 3,229 infants were baptized. For general religious and benevolent purposes there was raised $277,209 40, and for congregational purposes $705;- 950 74. Os the former sum, $119,530 was for Foreign and $4(5,498 for Home Missions.
