It was a fitting time, he though—the anniversary of the patron saint of Scotiand—to celebrate not only the day itself, out the anniversary of the society's existence, It had ready done a world of gool, and, altuough the de- mands upon it were constantly increasing, he felt certain that it would be ready fo meet all exigencies.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVOLUTION IN POLAND, Meeting of Pi Patriot Dend—A Polyglot Assemblage. If the enthasiasm manifested at the meeting of Poiea last evening is any indication of the foeling and determination of the Poies in Europe it Is safe to assume that those who have shouted Finis Polonia may yet be mistaken. Certainly, though not very large, the meeting was one of the most enthusiastic and more numerous than expected. The occasion was the anniversary of the uprising in Poland, which took place on the 29th day of November, 1830, the year in which the summer’s hottest days saw Charles X. in his fight to England and Louls Philippe of Orleans enthroned as the citizen king of the French. The news of the successfal revolution in France aent a thrill of Joy throogl the heart of liberal intrded Europe, ant in Poland it soon begat action. For eleven months the Poles maintained a quasi independence agai all the power of Russia, and it wae only with the aid of concealed active assistance, under the false mask of neutrality, of Austria and Prussia that the ettorsa of the Poles dnatiy fatied.

FREEDMENS LDUGAT mn AL SOCIETY. Address by Horace Greeley to the Colored Citizens of New York. Either the colored citizens of New York hold Horace Greeley as an orator in very | mation or else they are particu subject of the Freedmen's Educational Syct it is certain that the announcement that M the “veteran chatupion of equal r} Was designated in the printed noti would address the colored citizens of evening at the Abyssinian ley place, near Sixth avenue, and 8 proceeds would be appropriated to the ¥: 3 Educa. tional Society, had the ett of drawing together only a very slim audienc Mr. Greeley was, however, promptly in atic and as li passed up the aisle to his . on the form under the escort of Mr. James J. Spelman, the chairman, he was warmly epplanded, as warmly as sucha thin audience couid weil manifest. The Chairman aunounced that the present was the first of asertes of proposed lectures for the b lt of the Freedmen’s Educational Society, aud then introduced Mr. Greeley, which was the signal for another out- burst of applause. Mr, Greeley, whose style of ovatory ex! usual characteristics of a method and slowness of approximation to a nasal ing his address made t jogetic explanation thar he was not yet fully v 4 from the fativues of a very active political campaign, and on this ace count hi regretted that he had been unable to pre- pare a written iecture; but, as it was, he would talk to them the best he could for a short time, and talk to them freely and frankly, on the condition of the colored race. He believed tat the decidedly dark race were intended for the tropical climate. As for any scheme of colonization, he w utterly opposed to it. He approved of the effurts of some fo ¢ and civilize Africa, but as to forcing coloniz: he could in no way give tt lis sanction, He advocated the larg?st Iberty and was utterly opposed to anything like constraint. fe felt confident that In future years Florida and Louisiana would furnish a wide fleld for settlement by the descend ants of Africa, and so, too, the West India Islands, This seemed to him the result of natural iaws. Ne had no doubt that in the next one hundred years many would go from here to Africa for induStrial purposes, for purposes of commerce, and to turn to account her natural resources the vast wealth of her jungles and rivers and jakes; bur he would make such colonization spontancous and in no wise con- strained. The day 9° the enslavement of those of African descent had nearly arvived at tts close. Re- cent results in this couatry had given a great impetus to the final and irrevocatie overthrow of negro slavery throughout the worla. Ti was only seventeen years ago that Great, Britain emancipated her slaves, A federal Congress introduced a mealy- mouthed provision in the constitution on the subject of the extension of slavery, but the possibility of emancipation was shown {ia this country. There never was a time when there were not anti-slavery men in this country: but realiy to William Lioyd Gar- rison must be conceded the honor of the consecra- tion of his life to the absolute abolishment of siavery and positive pioneer efforts looking ‘o this grand result, And yet slavery fas been abolished here much sooner than any anticipated. Unseen forces had worked for the accompitsiment of this end. It died of its own potent efforts to strengthen iteelf. [t was always seeking to increase ita strength—or rather politicians who sought to strengthen their own tniluences and grow more owerfal and richer by its means sougiit to do it— bat it died here, spite of thelr eflorts, and was dying elsewhere. As slavery had been abotisted, so the Movement towards equality of rights with the whites was siowly but steadily going onward. There was no retrogression in this matter. It had to be carried on by ual approaches. It was no tri- umphal march, but rather uphill work. Fina! equality of ite was ‘the goal, and it was steadily beln, reached, The time wa8 coming wien the law wou: not ask the color of « witness; but Justice, with a Lene on lier eyes, would give the same weight to his testimony as to 2 white witness. Pursuing this topic somewhat further and giving instances of the liberties—tn riding in street for tne stance—being given to colored people, he pro- ceeded to speak of the duties incumbent on the ibited its semi-conyer utteran en twang, in commence. colored race. He first urged a line of conduct con- sistent with true manliness, Self-reliauce was every! as to colored kor} to whites as well Folks. ere were those who were always waiting for somebody eise to do somethtng for them, to give them an education, to lend them money or them up in business, Take the humn- viest positions, such as blacking boots or currying horses, and the étrength of self-reliance gained will give strength for something better. He would have them make these meniai employments the stepping stones to higher places, He advised them to learn trad d to live for the tiie being on coarser food and wear coarser clothing than as servants to rich white men. Capacity always commanded place, and so the coiored mea could become house buliders, en- gineera, pilots and ail that. Above everything eize he would have them strive to come land owners. Congress three years ago allowed colored men 160 acres of public land for fifteen dotlays an acre, but yet very few availed themselves of the privilege thus offered of becoming land owners. There ought to ve a iarge movement of the colored people to become owners of land. He quoted what Gerrit smith said in addressing a meeting of colored people in Richmond, Va., that if they would not drink any spirit iquors {¢ next thirty years they might own half o1 From this he taunched olf into @ sort of a ite discourse and unfolded the general princip! of co-operation. He told of the success of co-opera- uon in Europe and this country. He gave his own experiences in connection with an 0 buying land in New Jersey and advised hig hearers to co-operate for buying towushipa. With a pul? of Vineland and urging his colored auditors te go and do likewise he brought ms address, protracted through ap hour and a half, to a ci A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING CRAFT OFF CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.
