Binee then, however, the meetings bave been more erderty, but always attended, until within a year or two, with more excitement than unually characterizes public gatherings. Since the winding up of the war the an- moal gatherings have failed to attract as large crowds as formerly. The'old supporters seem to be leaving it one Dy one, amd now the only positive and reliable illumi- mary is Wendell Phillips, In fact, the whole concern ‘may be safely said to revolve upon him as its axis, and Ihe followers are in the most part men and women of tess mental calibre, but nevertheless manifesting an equal desire to alleviate the alleged sufferings of the ‘megro. ‘The Huaaxp telegraphic despatches have of course given an account of the anniversary meeting held here ‘to-day, but there were many interesting features at- tending it which must have been necessarily omitted. ‘The attendance has been about one thousand, against ‘two and even three in years past; and on this account of reduction im numbers the meeting was held in Mer- - @antile Hall, instead of the spacious Tremont Temple. ‘There was a morning, afternoon and evening ses- @on, and about the same number was present ateach, Rev. John T. Sargent, president of the society, called the body to order and presided. He seomed to Deleve in running the meeting independent of the Almighty, asserting, as he did, that he believed that the custom of opening with prayer would be more honored an the breach than observance. The meeting seemed to poy ty this belief, and the prayer was accordingly + omy Wendell Phillips, with the desire evidently of shaping 4@he course of the meeting, gained the floor at once and offered a series of resolutions, [The resolutions referred % were published in Friday's paper.— Kp, Henstp.] Mr. Phillips, baving finished the reading of the reso- dations, led to address the: Convention at some Jength im favor of their passage. He would not, he said, have them follow the recent example of the pro- Ribitionisis and temperance people and depend too much upon the law and its enforcement, Having thon amdul; in a fow proliminaries hoe said:—We are to re- cognize thom just as long as we keep a vigilant anti- slavery sentiment alive and active in the large body of ‘the people, and that must be done by moral and intel- Jectual moans, not solely through the influence ef Congressional discussion. Just so long and thoroughly as we do that we shall gain influence auring the next six months. And these six months are to de- cide what idea shall dominate in the counsels of that to which the country undoubtedly betongs, viz., republican party. -Thtre are no signs that any po- hitical work can be done except through that party. ‘There is no opening anywhere for the use of a third party or any third candidate, and, therefore, the whole Political action of the country is to made ‘efficient by means of the republican party.

Mr. Bronson Alcott, of Concord, Mass., who is some- times termed an infidel, talked for nearly an hour, when the audience became impatient, aed, with derisive ap- plauze, forced him to retire, Ira Stewart, of Hopedale) then talked for a while in favor of equality of labor, and was followed by Professor Toohey, of spiritual fame, who defended the Irishmen against the charges that they are not in faver of equality, and also branded politicians as a class ag almost universally treacherous and hy tical, Mr. Twichell, hitherto quiet and unobserved, stood up in defence of what bad been sald by Mr. Foster vy inst the Church and Christianity. He had heard Phillips say ten years ago that if the siaves were ever Wberated it would be through the instrumentality of God, and he believed that. ‘There were loud caile then for Wenaell Phillips, and im response he spoke briefly. Alluding to the action of some of the Constitutional Conventions in the South, where most of the delegates wore biack men, he com- feted it with what he termed the dawdling and ridiculous titntional Convention in Albany—a gathering 80 useless that its own party js more thap half inclined Bot to pay the members for what they have, or rather for what they have not done, He then took ocrasion to denounce Grant as a candidate for the Presidency. He would not vote for Grant any sooner than he would for certain other men, and sooner than vote for those certata other men he would cut off his right hand. He did not believe there was a drop of radical blood in Grant’s veins, and he would defy any one to prove that there was, Evening Session. Mr. Swazey, of Roxbury, the first speaker in the evening, defended the republican party at some length, Dolieving that there bad more good come from it than from any other. It was still imperfect in many things, yet ho could not help exclaiming, “With all thy faults 1 love thee still.” Joshua Everett, of Worcester, pitched into the various churches for assuming to have been instrumental in securing emancipation, and he hoped that the Conven- tion would express itself on the question in some reso- lutions. He believed that at this time there were more obstacles placed in their way by some of the churches than by any other source. ‘Mr. Foster said that he did intend in the morning to write a resolution against the churches, but that he had changed his mind and bad written one in favor of them , and it was this:— Resolved, That I, Stephen S, Foster, conscious of my past noglect of “duty to’ ihe Church and’ ministry for several Yours, aud feeling deeply mortided and ashamed of my in: dolence and sny shirking of this great responsibility, do this day promise to myself, God giving me strength and life, and the door opening to me for future labors, 1 will in the future be more faithtul, Mr. Powell, of New York, then offered the following :— Resolved, That we urge Congress to prohibit by imme- diate legislation hsfranchisem ereafter of citizen on the grow tory, and to a a ‘ersibic guarautee of equal cillzenship to the colored race, Resolved, That we still ure, in the interest of justice and ‘ placed in loyal hands months of the prese n, Wendell Phillips then offered the following rerolu- tioms:— Resolved, That we see no evidence of any hearty repent- ance by the Ameriosn churchos of their guilt towards the hegro, aud bearing in mind <his proof of thelr corruption we Indulge no hope of any cordial ald from that quartar toward this movement io the perils amid which It makes its way.

Phillips. His remarks were chiefy covered by the address previonsly Teported, being a strong and eloqne! argument against Grant aud the Grant party, against all pot pledged to the and elevation of the nogro race, Unless, he said, the biacks of the South are given the right © he had grave doubts if there would be even a shell of the republican party left after the next Presidential election.

BOOK NOTICES, A New Monerary System:—The onl: Securing the Respective Rights of Labor and Property and of Protecting the Public From Financial Revolutions, By Edward Kellogg. Edited by bis daughter, Mary Kellogg. Putnam. A volume of nearly four hundred pages on w moneiary system, embracing the topics mentioned above, ought to have something in it to justify the time spent in ite perusal, for the subject is, to use a common expression, s heavy one, The groatest. merit of thir book is in its being eminently suggestive to statesmen and men of thought The author lays the axe at the root of the evils of our cerrency and financial system and gives some heavy blows, Dut not with as much skill as such © stependous work requires, He is too prolix and there ie a tedious and ‘wearisome repetition of ideas and words, making 1t tire- some to even mon who love the study of such subjects. The undoubted evils of our present system of currency, banking and finances, which he exposes, are the growth of ages, are interwoven with all our institutions, politi- cpl, social, mercantile and of property, aad are little ‘understood by even the educated, and not at all ecarcely Isis @ growth so widespread and deep rooted that a long time will be required and means of i i it fi tries tends rapidly to make the rich peor poorer, to concentrate all the the products of industry in few and to leave thoce whe only prodace f z i i 4 i? lily tise i { i else, though in the United States we are i i a= iz territory and abundance of cheap virgin landa The condition of the Irish pensant, who Teises good wheat and fattens fine pork, but is never able to taste either Decause capital and tares leave him nothing bat potatoes to live upea, will become in time the condition of the een es at te hastening, tte 0 a iE | ; E the remaiuing fourteen eritical | Back legal tenders wore issued. This shows thas the writer had comprebensive wews om the subject, for while bis proposed currency 1s not exactly of the ehar- acter of the greenback currency. they are alike in being uniform, national and based upon the credit ef tne gov- * ernment or country. He proposes to base the issue of government legal tenders, as the sole currency. of the qountry, upon what he calls a safety fund, to be estab- hsbed on the productive property of the mation, which ta to have beth the funding and redemption featare jn- corporated with it, The strongest point he makes, however, is with reg “to establishing » law interest for money; and this, it seeme to uw, is the most diffcalt part of bis theory to carry out Be shows that @ high rate of interest absorbs inthe hands of capitalists all the profits of industry and leaves the producers poor, To remedy this, in connection with bis system of a safety fond end @ uniform legal tender currency, he woul ave Congress establish a low and uniform rate of in- terest for the whole country. We have not space here to go into the details of his scheme, which ie novel and suggestive, if not altogether practicable; but it isa vast subjeot, and there nover was a more appropriate time to study it than at present. Weare just now in a transition State with regard to currency, banking, national finance and all such subjects, and we are in « position to strike out into any new or original course that may be sound in theory or that may promise to be of benefit to the country, Our statesmen and public men might find valuable suggestions in the work before us. Fenran Herogs anp Mantyns, By John Savage. Boston: P. O’Donahoe. ‘ From the known capacity of the author in compiling books and bis usual assiduity in getting facts together in good shape, one is not surprised to find in this volume ‘® consecutive and apparently fall history of what has for some time been xnown ag ‘Fonianism;” and for any one who wants to know just what it is, or was, this ig the very book. ‘The reader willglearn from the intro- ductory chapters that the mysterious ‘‘Feniens” fifteen hundred years ago were the ‘National Guard” of Ireland, organized ond commanded by the martial hero Finn, an Irish chieftain well known in poetry, ro- mance and fiction, whom (Ossian) Macpherson converted into a Highlander and called Fingal, We have heard a good deal of the modern Fenians both in this country and Great Britain, and we may probably hear more dropping shot concerning thom by the Atlantic cable, and in the crossfire between the factionists in the newspapers here. ‘This book of Mr. Savage, who is Rimeelf ‘a leader,” designs to put the public in posses- sion of some knowledge of the men whose names have been so long familiar, most of,whom are now under- going Imprisonment in British jails. We notice that of the twenty-four prominent gentlemen whose names are included in this catalogue of ‘Fenian Horoes and Martyrs,” ten were officers in the United States Army and fought with great distinction during the late civil war; one was an officer in the Confederate service, and al! citizens of the United States, Tho others are chiefly Irish journalists and mostly young men, The getting up of the book is very respectable, but the wood outs, purporting to be por- traita, would be no detriment to the volume if they were anywhere else. Toa large number of people this work will be very welcome, Tae Works oy Cuarcets Dicgens—Plum Pudding Edition—D. Appleton & Co.—1868.

If wohad achronogram specially compiled for news- Paper offices we should undoubtedly find under the head of romarks for tho calendar of the month of January this trathfal prediction :—‘ About this time expect a bountifal shower of almanacs.’’ as cortain ag January snowflakes fall upon us im this latitude comes a flurry of almanacs. Unlike the feathery flakes of crystal, they drop upon us with great bastle, noise and weight. Of every variety in ar- Tangoment, form and style, adapted to almost every taste and want, they make their punctual and regular appearance in the early days of the new year. bright, fresh and vigorous, and straightway, with the impetu- omty of youth, crowd off of familiar and homelike hooks their elder but passt brothers and reign there autocrats of household reference for a twelvemonth, when their time comes, and they join that long line of defunct cal- endars that have gone before, crowned with the musty and well thambod garlands of the year, Some of these comers boast of a long line of ancestors, and seem to bring down with them the richest fruits of the accumu- lated experience and wisdom of the past. Others, after the style of the Bourbons, seom to learn nothing ang forget nothing; while others still, like the half con- gealed rain drop in the snow fall, are neither one thing nor the other, They are worthless as records of the past, and of ne value for the future, Putting aside as useless a quantity of calendars that appeal only te the ‘nvalid members ef society —the cry- ing iefante that eagerly demand soothing syrap, or the grown children who are not happy without their bolus or pille—we take up for notice the class of almanacs that are valuable to every member of the community and ‘The veteran almanac, which hes come te us as certain aa the New Year for nearly « third of a contury, is “Tue Tribune Almanac,’ and ite predecessors, different from it only im same, We bave soon it as the “ Whig Almanac,” and under its present title, since 1836, and it comes tous new in the thirtieth year of its age, full of feete, crowded with figures dear to politicians and con- taining © wealth of statistics, foreign, national, political, social and general, thatare as correct as saything human cam well be, The “Tribune Almanao’* \s freo from all political bias and prejudice, 10 ts ne refiex of the pecu- Har opinions of the journal from which {( emanates, but 4 embodies im @ clear, condensed fom all the i i ; : gE 1 & Fr Fy 2 a 2?! iff j ‘Hi i ip i ill ; i j H : | { F 3 ! ii i sft HH cebet Hi ff ui polt:tenl predilections, and te equally es veleshio to those who desire to ebiain facts im almest every path of life, It de certainly tho dest almanac poblished, and 1s cheapmves (twenty conte each) should enable every ene to obtein a copy.

Oné very interesting feature of the “Jourval Almanac” are the sketches of lives of the State officers and members of the Legisiature, They are care- fully and correctly drawn and perfectly rehable. The contents also comprise an account of the government of New York, its judiciary, Christian denominations, Con- stitutional Convention, county officers, election returns and a vast amount of other information relating to the State, These features are peculiar tothe “Journal Almanac,” and must commend themselves to the public of the State. The ‘‘Almanag”’ is for sale by Weed, Par- sons & Co., Albany, and the American News Company of New York. Its price is twenty-five cents, Messrs. Van Evrie, Horton & Co., of No. 162 Nassau atreat, have published ‘The Democratic Almanac,” for twenty cents each. This, as its name indicates, is for democratic readers, Its astronomical and political con- tents are carofully and clearly arranged, and it contains a mass of matter concerning the St. Domingo massacre, the restoration of democracy and political articles on the progress of reconstruction, besides a lot of other useful information, very democrat will doubtless obtain copy, and thereby encourage the publishers in continuing a work in s new direction, The last almanac which wo shall notice is an affair {gsued by a copperhead journal of this city which hes little circulation, and, judging from tbe production before us, but little brains or knowledge of the demands of the work they have undertaken, Badly compiled, wretchedly unreliable, printed on poor paper, in the worst porsible style, it does not promise any botter fature than the poor bantlings that are placed on the doorsteps of the city buildings, to be onrolled and then forever buried. The publishers, with great judgment, have omitted to state the price of the worthless affair. It can be bought cheaply and will be found valuable ae waste paper. REVIEW OF NEW MUSIC. How little originality in either melody, harmony or general arrangement of work is shown in the composi- tions of she present day? Leaving the trash out of the question we take up a song, an anthem or a piece of piano music which strikes the ear at once as something of considerable merit, But on close examination, or witb a little exercise of memory we find that the piece is bodily stolen from some previous work. Of course we do not look for entire originality in the saloon music which js poured forth in a constant stream from our publishers’ presses, but we certainly expect some new treatment of old gubjects, Let a composer select a theme frem the works of his predecessors, but he must havo brains enough to place this theme in @ new and handsome setting. Musical composition has become, unfortunately, too much of job work among us, and a composer thinks only of the prico which he will receive for a piece and not of ite merits, The cause of this glaring evil rests with the publishers, for wo should have no trasb or unblush- ing plagiarisma if they did their duty towards the public. What if a man bring them a plece which is either worthless or stolen, and promises them a ready sale of a larve portion of the edition in case of Its publi- cation. The publisher sacrifices his own business repu- tation and degrades himzelf ve the level of a Chatham street “old clo” dealer, We shall coutinue our stric- tures on this mariner of imposing on the public until the publisners and the writers of music adopta different course. Among the recent publications of Pond & Co. we find the following :— “Inspirer and Hearer of Prayer,” sacred solo and quartet, Pattison, The solo isan admirable subject for a baritone voice, and wi.h the quartet it forms a pleasing addition to the muaic of our churches. Here are five short quartets on Psalms, by Mosentha’, which havo simple, enpretending subjects, harmonize d, however, in such @ musicianly manner that they be- come interesting to all, “Happy Thoughts, or the new Home, Sweet Homo ;”” baltad, by Hatton, A very jag melody—somow hat like its older namesake, The accompaniment is very poor and unintereating. “Cantate Domino;” J. Ernest Perrn Among all the published works in charch music by posers, we bave not found chis season one Dare with this really execliont work, Mr. Perring srems to have taken Harden as a model for reminiscen- ces of the masses, as the latter creep out in the work, But for musicianly treatment, adaptation of teas in both words and music, variety and thorough knowledge and use of ail the resources of harmony, we may classify Mr. Perr! “Cantate Domino’? as an admirable work, “Gazelle Spindler.” This is a good study for a pup, giving the fingers and wrist excellent practice in in sant motion. As a composition unere is littie merit ia it. ‘ne Gute of Gold,” romance; Blumenthal; is a very ‘er dovetailing of Verdi and Huilan.
