The above Soeiety held its first anniversary Friday evening, at» the: Tabermacle,. in Broad way. At6 9’ my tle assemblngo present, Mayor of the city of New York, as the Society, was called to the chair. Whereupon, the meeting was opened with a prayer by the ven- erable Mr. Thompson, of Rochester. , Esq., late beginning m extending tent desired, for the want of funds 1¢ following gentlemen were stated as having respond: = A fl eon d the Societ ly and cordially approbatory of the tad tention fortis Society, to wit : — , Esqr., Rhode Island, w! the report styled in language of , “The first among the wise, and the Ne wed the names of Hon. Col. J, O'Fallon, of St. Ousley, Governor of Kentucky, Hon. Dewey, of Rochester, Passages from the let- a warm feclii interest in the object oclaty, wore séue by all which, it appears, that the ‘ancient and honora- ble” of the land were ardent in the support of the 2 ” of the same, giving stability, éclat and respect- the rel “confederacies,” for which the present day is so le. It ere ryrecred by the report, the Society has ,a number of Airican teachers ready to go out as missionaries for the purpose of pro- moting education and civilization in Africa, but that they ‘are not as yet able to despatch them on this errand, for ‘want of necessary funds. Others there were who were anxious to go out on the same mission, so soon should be qualified by preliminary stud . For pose the Soclety proposes to establish actiools on ofthe normal manual labor schools, tg) od ita- ble African persons for this nade, ‘or this object of course funds are required. In the mean time, to pro- mulgate and extend the objects and usefulness of the so- ciety, a periodical has been commenced, devoted to the i na of making known and carrying out its great de- is. The report having been read, the hon. chairman intro- duced Dr. Macoon, of Richmond, Va., who proceeded to address the meeting. ‘The learned pastor began by ob- serving that this society was not intended to revolution- ize any existing “political compact,” or to make aggres- sions upon any other “ social organization.” Its only ob- ect was the promotion of human good; it was not sum- moned together by any sect, creed or party; the only ban- ner it set up was that of peace, literature and love. “After meeting and combating some of the prejudices which stood in the way of the objects of the society, the learned oe fren observed, that, in redeeming Afri in giv- ing the benefits of education to her benighted people: ‘iving to her the civilizing light and Milksancee ol fanitysin rescuing a whole quarter of the globe from degradation—in restoring again a continent to christiani- ty,—colored people were the only fit and proper agents. ‘he reasons for this were evident. it, they alone have the physical constitution which will“ enable them to endure the dangers of the climate. No country in the world was rior to Africa, in general, in health of clime and Beauty and richness of soil and landscape ; but in Western Africa it 1 but impossible for a white man to live. Itis said in this portion of the great continent, every organic creature must inevitably go through the acclimating fever of the country. Only the colored man can endure the miasmata which exhale over the whole extont of the western shore. Commodore Perry has given it as his ion, that no white man can become acclimated on the western coast. If this be so, itis evident that the colored race who have the pe to endure the climate, are the only roper agents whom (the speaker remarked) “the re- leeming power” is to be conveyed to this unhappy coun- try! next position he would lay down was the fol- lowing, viz :—that the colored people, together with the physical power, possess also the mind adapted to this it enterprise—from which two itions, it follows that they therefore are the best agents for this purpose. Mr. M. ‘then proceeded to establish and illustrate this position by a variety of historical facts. Africa had not always been what she is now, a benighted continent. She once been the theatre of a great and general civilization—she had been the great original home of literature, science, and art. The Bible, and also all the classical authors, give to Africa the first and ori i rank in the history of civilization. It was from Africa, then called Ethiopia, that civilization, art, and science, extended into Egypt, thence it spread to the Red Sea, and from thence to Mesopotamia. This was not the end of its ss, From Ethiopia, the march of civilization extended to Phoenicia, te Carthage, to Tyre; and lastly, the Stgtes of Greece, and the western world were them@lves originally colo- nies from Ethiopia. The Egyptians were the origina. tors, and first teachers of all subsequent civiliza- tion—from them the clastic’ Greeks boasted of having re- coived their arts and science, and even their letters. Now, these F, td were blacks dotus distinctly says, that they wore blac! woolly hi (We should have liked to have been refer- ted to book and page.) It is well known that there was not a singlo white face among them until the period which succeeded tho Persian conquest. (The learned spoaker did not say, if he here intended, the conquest of Egypt by Cambysie, we presume, however, such was the,conquest he re red to.) After exposing and Jamenting, in olo- quent terms, the present degraded situation of modern Ethiopia, which Mr. M. snid was the result of thirty cen- turies of oppression—of oppression, which they had suf- fered more than any other nation since they had been subjugated by the white or Caucasian race—he ed to show that this high degree of civilization for which Africa had once been celebrated, was not confined mere- ly to the ages before Christianity, but that even after. wards, in first centuries of its existence, the African le had been second to no people on the globe, in sci- Enee, art, literature and civilization. Origen, Cyprian, Tertullian, St. Augustine, all these celebrated men, were Africans. Mr. M.next proceeded to demonstrate that not only the African race were endowed with the phy- sical qualities, as above-mentioned—not only, also, with the mental capabilities, as had also been shown, but that they also were of those moral sensibilities which were equally necessary, both to impel to effort and to ensure success to the effort itself. The modern ‘African has also (he observed) the power of self-govern- ment. In proof ot this, Mr. M. adduced example of the present Governor of Liberia. This person (said Mr. M,) was, at one time, a poor barber in the city in which I reside (Richm ) After enlarging Esa the so- cial and other qualities of the African rage, M. went on to show that, as the Saviour of the world selected those whom he sent forth—not from palaces, but from the huts of the poor and humble, and from the boats of fisher- men—so, in the present case, the humbleness of the agents “itd be employed, was rather a. recom: mendatlon} und, certainly, was a mean hich would render them more the great object which it was the aim of the society to promote. i be educated, to be freel, hest facul flection, reason, have been ;, and it is evident that God lesigned * hen it cel that when it rece! that ex nod which ite th the human mind, nt.

He desires to see, like the blind Barici- meas, who called aloud on Jesus, ashe passed, askin; him to give him sight, Man requires instruction. Th first ideas in childhood prove this, We have a sort of ii stinct, which even in childhood prompts us to enqui ‘What is this? what is that? God poset in every mind this desire to become enlightened; and that light is the | test of knowledge. Give but one acquirement in k ledge, and it never will become satiated; but, mer’s giant, quaffing the goblet of Ulysses, it will say, “Give me more !” As we inherit the want, so we inh rit the right; and man has the right to possess enlighten- ment, It was the care of the old Romans to give the | people Tribunes to guard their rights; and it ought to be | the care, also, of Americans; not to shut out light from | man. If some master fiends had the power, and should | make their appearance on this earfh for: the murpose of | emptying it of all its treasures, and bringing chaos again, what would thoy do?

Emancipation does not remove the stain that attaches to them, Give a slave freedom in America, and whére do you place him? | Where he must suffer chagrin, and odium, and contempt. ns , tached to. them, to do with sec. al prejudices or anything of the kind ; but he is placed in a position which, from want of enlighten- | ment, makes him to feel the degradation he is doomed to suffer. He never can be placed in an elevated position. It was not so with Epictetus. He was not thought so little of for being a slave; “but it fs not so in| this country. Let the Afriean be-taken by the hand and sent abroad to his native country—give him his full powers of mind for the exercise of his ambition in his tive land, and then you will elevate him. It is a great evil that slavery ever was inflicted here upon the colored race ; but I have no doubt that this very infliction will be the cause of good. They receive education here which they never could get at home ; and can impart that education to their own brethren if sent abroad, thus bring ing a great blessing the Continent of Africa. There has been a good dei upon the great power of Catho- licity ; but in what does this great power consist? It is Secret, my friends, which we should learn, and an ex- ample which we should emulate. Now, but enter th genial clime of Italy, where the bright moon in the ‘‘ blue Yault of Heayen” i shining—go wander through the “ Propaganda,” where the lamp light is streaming, and re- member that ‘in these little cells which are to be found there, and tenanted by those who are selected from every nation, and are the promising sons of the Catholic Chureh, those who have been wooed and drawn into These young men who are there imbibing the advantages--the blessing of education, have been selected from every clime and country—have been m poverty and neglect, and freed from these . Their minds are educated—and they are con- secrated to those who have educated them; and he who has been the poor boy, an 11 cen loosed from the shackles of ignorance, acquires by et ication, wisdom and know: ledge. He is devoted to those wi.o were the first to put him on the track of education. Thc se become the most zealous men and the most faithful mi: siggaries ; and now let us but take these colored men—eductte them—send them out on board ship, to go towards thei: own homes to instruct their own race, and make them the sustruments of civilizing these unfortunate people, and they are the fittest to dovit. . With these views { close. my rom ik: feel an interost in the matter, and I express it unh sit tingly, and hope my friends here will all aid us in our la- rs. The Rev. Mx.

Legislative Proceedings, $c. Bright and beautiful morning—some angels in heaven and some upon earth. Capitol Park looking like the sera- glio of the Sultan of Muscat. The Albany haut ton eclipse the Aaut ton in his harem. House filled, crowded, and compeetly squeezed. A bill or an enactment, concerning the New York and Erie Railroad, which I herewith enclose, and the defeat of which, in the House, some time since, caused a very re- markable excitement, passed the Senate yesterday, and after an eminently beautiful debate, which was applauded by a very discriminating mass of spectators, was ordered toa third reading inthe House this morning. The bill which was defeated in the Assembly, was substantial similar in its general construction to the one enclosed, which has passed the House without amendment.
