THE LATE ANTESLAVERY SOCIETY DEAD. Its Friends Laugh and Make Merry Over the Corpse—A Lot of People of All Kinds and Colors—Funeral Orations by Congressman Julian, Luoretia Mott and Others. ‘The friends and relatives of the lately deceased -antt-Slavery Society held a wake over its corpse last evening at Apollo Hall, recently vacated by the remains of the much lamented Cardiff Giant. Some how or another {t partook very much of the jovial time that was haa over the waking of the great and glorious Finnegan, whose name has been banded down to posterity by a goodly rhymster. THR SCBNK AT THE WAKE. True, there was no ‘ashins of whiskey,” no bloody relics of broken heads, nor shulelahs split over the crantums of living friends of the mighty corpse; but then there was joviaity of a kind which the citizens of an inky complexion present seemed to enjoy to their nearta’ content, There was utter freedom of soctal re- union, apd everybody appeared to feel that they had come to laugh and be merry over the dead body, and go all acted as though there was no skeleton in the closet, nor lots of voting negroes on the fence who used to be always on de-fence, THE LIGHTS. On the stage there were a great many of the ligits of the anti-slavery family, who were dressed as though they had come to @ wedding rather than toa burial. Still they had,,most of them, a sepulchral appearance that did not. by any means make the more light-hearted folks feel quite at therr ease, Charles Burlelgh’s long bair and long beard occupied a prominent place, aud Theodore Tilton—another individual who don’t velleve that the cutting of one’s locks ts strictly con- stitutional—peered up from a back seat at the speakers as though he didn’t kuow whether to Juugh or to biubber right out at the wake(ul scene around him, THE SHADOWS, There were a large number of darkly colored citi- zens present, and they all of tuem, with but one or two exceptions, occupied the galieriea, They doubt- less felt that they were really above the white folks, and, as the gallerics offered them a magniticeat op- portunity to show the pale laces tuat they kuew it, they took good care not to let it pass, FASHION ALL RIGHT. They knew perfectly well they were among sisters and brothers who betteved'in a “closer social union,” to repeat the words of Mr. Coanning, than now exists, and, as they were anxious to appear as well a8 anybody else, the “ladies apd geumen” dropped in by units and pairs, decked m all the giory of swaliow-tail coats and ripvons aud flowers, ‘The “gemmen”’ wore the coats and the “laaies” the rib- bons and fowers—which showed that they, as well as the whites, know what is what. THE WAKE BEGUN, Mr. Powell, of the Anti-Slavery Standard, was the individual who pulled the electric wives that sought, for a night at leasi, to galvanize the corpse into teimporary life. He did as best he Knew how; but, for the sake of gettmy off a sort of prosatcal, poetical idea be imagined he heard a hiss against woman’s enfranchisement, when nothing of the kind occurred. Mr. PowRLL opened the proceedings by saying that they met that evening, uot as @ society, Dui as a sort of informal social commemosative gaivering, held in honor of the great ¢vent in our political history which abolished all proscriptions on accouat of race orcolor, (Applause.) Whtie the speaker aimost ad- mitted that the mission of the Anti-siavery Siandard was accomplished, yet he wished to keap the sheet alive for the purpose of atiending frst to the Chi- nese and next ty the cniranciusement of the women of our land. The next piece of entertainment inthe programme as MUSIC, which, it bas been said, Lath -‘charas to soothe the savage breast; but so far as Could pe “seen” by the reporter there were noue of tint kind to be seen, However, the opening svlos were sung by a young white lady with good effect, and pui the audieuce lu good humor tor MRS.

Which was which was nmol ascertained. suc was applauded, of course, and took her seat on entirely satisfied wita her own eifort to pi REY. WILLE TKNRY CHANNING was then introduced and proceeded to speak. He said on this commemorative occasion Do one had a clear right to speak—applause)—unless witn ciear conscience he could he was faithful to tins cause trom first to last. Since 1833 he had been faitutul, and now to live in the day when their highest hope was fuliilod it demanded thea most unbounded gratitude. ‘he speaker then went on in @ Kind of unconnected manner to de- scribe the halls of Congress, the rotunda thereunto attached; the hospital where lay the wounded soidiers of the War, Gerrit Smith’s action during the war, and the Southern men gathering their seats all around bim to listen, and holding themselves in waiting to hear what that great Chris- tian man would utter. The speaker then sald MAN OF PRACE, A horoisin. He said they had noe finished this aveat tight.

Thert followed the soettyng strains of a duet, ex- quisitely pars by two white young ladies, whict was greeted with appiause, which was prolongea until 1t degenerated into husses because the said two young iadies did noc manifest a disposition to act ag “repeaters.’? Hon, Gorge W. JULIAN then took the floor AND SAU) NOTHING could be more marvellous than tho great fact of our history for the last ten years. He sketched that his- tory from the induction of Abraham Lincoln tate the Presidential chair. But, said he, THANKS BE TO GOD the rebel# fired on the old fag and mane it certain that slavery was to be extinguished forever. We had got :o beileve tnat the stars of the flag were for the whites at that time and the stripes for te blacks.

(Applause and laughter), ANDY JOUNSON'S USEFULNESS, he said, came in in 1865, and if it had not been for that educational process, headed by Andy Jonuson If, some Kind of a compromise would have been made, leaving the negroes in tue hands of their old masters. He was glad to say that they had met there that night to return thanks to Satan and his friends for their efficient efforts in support of the cause. At least, that much of praise was due to Satan. (Laughter). LUCRETIA MOTT Was next introduced, and sald that sne hoped before the proceedings closed they should have romething to say not only about woman's rights, but laad re- form and the “poor TRISH. Let them advocate the eight hour system for the Trish now. (Laugater and applause.) Let them not be calling democrats hard names; but let them be friends, and to-morrow evening she hoped the great subject of peace would be considered. ‘The meeting then resoived itset{ into a committee of the whole, and a “free and easy,” as the chair- man called tt, for social intercourse, and aiter about half an hour spent in this manner , WENDELL Painurs, FREDERICK Dovarass and others made brief addresses, the burden of which Was got off at the Cooper Institute meeting on the previous night.
