The fears of the assemoly were soon quieted, and tre pro- ceedings continued.]} Rev. Mr. Reed stated thas the ser-nmia could be made witheut creating excitement by send- ing an agent to wait on the President to kuovw the moet snitable time. The moct appropriate way to exprese their appreciation was by sing- ing. They had already had speaking in «very ditection. The white people say that they (the colored) could sing betwr than any others. Chas. Hrown moved toamend by devigosing the male pertions of the choirs.

There was a look of unflinching courage on their facet, which plainly be- tukened a determination to defend themselves desperately.

PRenjamin Lanum asked if they wanted ail the colored people to join in, or did Capital Hill want to speak for ail the rest of the city. The Chair (Key. Turner) explamed that this movement did not embrace all the eolored people; all who would join in the celebration } were welcome, but those who preferred to cule. Lrate it some other way, or not at ali, could use their owr pleasure. Wm. Hughes did not axpect to get all the se- cessionists among them, for there were colored recestionwt® ag well as. white. The meeting Was generaily known among the people, but seme of the secegh were atraid to coms ont. B. Lanum said that President Lincoln not ashamed when he issged his proclamation to the colored people, and they should not be asbamed to make alarge:and public demon- stration. If « celebration is to be had, let the colored people go into the streets and commons where every eye can sce them.
