NEW YORK CITY MISSIONS. UNIVERSAL PEACE SOCIETY. Second Anniversary ExercisesAddresses by Alfred H. Love, Lucy Stone, Cora Hatch, Josephine S. Griffin and Others—Reports, Letters and Resoultions. : ‘The Universal Peace Society yesterday morning celebrated their second anniversary at Dodworth Hall. The audience was quite small, Among those present were Lucy Stone, Ernestine Rose, Josephine 8. ¢ Cora Hatch and C, H. Burleigh. Alfred H. Love, of Philadelphia, President of the Society, occupied the chair, and Elizabeth B., Chase acted as secretary. On assuming the chair Mr. Love remarked that their advocacy of peace was not a mere sickly senti- ment. It did not grow out of cowardice or an easy, slothful conscience. There was no peace and could be none while the conditions of war existed. They had united to force this iron-clad front of doubt, op- position and unpopularity. Considering the magni- tude of the work before them, and the humble instraments el to perform it, he could not but declare, “What are we that our eyes see this glory here and our ears have heard the sound.” Itseemed that the spirit of divine truth alone should animate us, and upon that he dared to build his faith and hope. All talked peace, prayed peace, preached peace, governed for peace, fought for peace, and yet they were told that they hac com. menced a thousand years too soon to beat the sword in‘o the ploughshare and the spear into the prun'ng hook. If you wished to reach your homes you must take the first step. It must be accomplished by work. The Pacific Ocean was not to be reached by mere logic, nor even by more devout prayers, but by work and patience, by levelling or tunneling to monn: tain, by laying the sleeper, by puting 10,009 men upon ii, ora nation even at each end of the line, and then placing the engine upon it and movin it to the Pacilic. This opportunity was to all a free one. ANNUAL REPORT. Levi K. Jos read the second annual report, Which was accepted. It stated that the labors of the society during the past year had led to gratifving re- sults, Resolutions had been forwarded by the com- mittee on the Luxemburz question to Qneen Victo- ria, and they had been placed * heads of those favorable to peace. Resolutions of a characteristic nature had been sent also to the Constitutional State Convention of New York, and had been presented by Mr. Erasius Brooks. A number of successful meet- ings had been held by the society, in its various branches, throughout the country. A number of en- couragzing meetnzs had also been held in Boston, From the report of the workingmen of Birmingham, it appeared they strongly favored the principles of the society. Efforts had been male, also, with the 'n- dians. Letters had been imany tribes as possit'e. In February last the Pre: thad had an terview with several chicfs of tribe Washingto ) An interesting correspondence had grown out of this: intervew.

Love in the chair. Letters from various sections of the country were received and read from parties who sympathizea with the aims and principles of the society. JamuEs M. PEEBLES remarked that last winter, in Washington, he was invited by Colonel Tappan, Mr, Taylor, General Sheridan and others to accompany them on their peace commission among the Indians in the Far West and Northwest. He met them at Omaha. Among the party were Generals Harney, Sherman, Sheridan, Augur, Terry, and Colonels Tap- pan and Sandford. Their first stopping place was the forks of the Platte river, where they met the chiefs of the Sioux. A council was held and he was charmed with the bearing of those indians, Wien he suw those Sioux, their chiefs, warriors, squaw3 and papooses; when he heard their speeches and looked around and saw tue whites among thein, he consivered that of the two the whites should have been calied the savages and tuey the civilized. Hav- ing talked With General Harney aud sit Carson and taving heard the testimony irom their own lips taat the Wuites had broken their treaties with the In that tue whites were tie aggressors by the acts of de- srauding contractors aud a-enis, he could not blame tuem for binging about these indian wars. He did not Waat 0 lear any one talk bn nye! about sweeping \uese ind.ans from the lace of ute earth. Virtua'ly Genera: Sherman said iast year, “1 cannot see any method of ening tus war exce,t by ex- termination of the Indians, with the squaws aud apooses!” But Geueral Sherman now had chauged his mund completely and had said, “it is cheaper for us to iced the indians tuan to iht them, it is cheaper to teat with unein as men than to extermiuate tuem,” ‘The killing of every Indian has cost tus nation @ million aud a half of dollars, and tuea tuey killed nineteen whites to every one tiat we kiled of them. He was thoroughly convinced that Congress was now pursuing tie true course in regard tw this na- ou. It Was NOW purposed to set apart four terri- tories in reservatves, to be tues and tueir ciuidren’s forever—two west und two east of the Rogky siouniains—aud thea to perm:t each territory so send one or two Ladin cliels to Congress a8 represeatations.
