Calvin Chase in the chair, and W. H. Jones, secretary. A commuuica- tion from Col. George M. Arnold was read, inviting the members to be present atthe Metropolitan A. M.

It was decided that if the Feder- al elections bill is not passed, efforts shall be made t: have meetings held throughout the country, and request the colored people not to take any part in the World’s Fair, and that everything shall be dove to prevent the colored people from attending the Fair or being in any way represented.

We commenced the singing of national sougs-songs of the union-at large public gatherings ; every man wow. an or cuild of American birth ought to learn the words of the battle hymn of the republic, ‘*My country tis of thee,” ‘Rally around the flag,” “The star sprangled banner,” and all recognized national songs, es- pecially not forgetting ‘The colored volunteer,” and “Richmond a fall- ing,” We shall occupy the land.” One: of the verses in Mrs. Julia Ward Howes pogm touches our case as we stand in this country to- day, (vefore the Senate.) I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel; “As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal.

How will these Senators vote next year when the proposition comes from the south to pension her confederate soldiers and pay the slave holders of the south for the slaves taken from them by Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation? This is a serious question and there is no reasou why these same Senators will = not vote with their southern brethren on each of these propositions ; they will thus be fully enabled to do what seems to be their sole object, receive full and unconditional pardon from a brok en down svuthern aristocarcy and allowed social recognitioa by the people who have heretofore recog- nized the yankees as mudsills, and at the same time “resume trade” as it was before the war.

We can out live the day and the rule of very small men-and we sball do so. The great man who had the courage to ask our congress to make the way to the ballot box clear and withous fear; who spoke splendid words for his colored fellow citizens, will yet see that the race is still free from the charge of ingratitude and his name, because of his words for them, will be held near and dear.
