Tho Philadelphia Sunda)/ Mercury gives a graphic aocount of tho celebration of tho ?ratification of tho fifteenth commandment, from whioh wo oxtraot tito following : Programmo of tho grand African jubilee, to bo porformed on tho 26th of April A. 1) . 1870, by 4,000,000 talented artists, all citi zons.of tho bayonited States: Grcnt, grand and glorious celebration ia honor of tho tre mendous triumph of Congressional power in reduoing the haughty protensions, pulled up pride, aud national diguity of free-born Amer icans, by asking them to associate with thoso they formerly despised, and compelling them to acknowledge the colored pcoplo as good ns themselves. Tho following is thc preliminary address by Major Muggins : FELLOW-CITIZENS : biko our noble and illustrious President, General Grant, I am unaccustomed to public speaking; but on such a glorious occasion as tho present, who is thoro amongst you that oould romain silent ? Whoro is tho colorod man, fcllow-oitizcns, that over dreamed of a day like this ? Twon ty years ago, William P. Kelley, John W. Fornoy, Benjamin P. Butler, and hundreds of others, looked upon us with contempt and branded us os dirty njg?ovs. But what are these very men doing now? Fcllow-oitizcns, it thrills my heart with tho feelings of man. hood to stato that they aro bowing humbly and rovorontly boforo us, aud almost quarrel ing amongst themselves as to which shall have the honor of first kissing tho hem of our gar ments. This is a grand triumph, fellow-citi zens ; but don't trust such men too far. Politicians aro never to bo relied on. But hero I. would ask, fellow-citizens, to whom aro wo indebted for all this wonderful chango of publio opinion ? Could it havo been from the friendly precedent of William Penn ? No j for he lived and diod a slave-owner. Was it to the influouco of tho man who wrote, the mon who Btgned, or thoso that endorsed the principios of tho Declaration of Independence, declaring all men equal, having tho right to lifo and liberty ? No; formen who prenched freedom abroad, and continued to practice slavory at homo, woro neither more nor loss than impostors. Was it. to tho noblo cxnm plo of George Washington? No ; for ho kept his slaves until ho died, and loft thom by will .to his wife ; but this, of courso, must bo con sidered quite oxousablo, ns it would bc a pity to mar so fino an imaginary model with a blaok spot. Is it to tho sleek-faced Yankee that wo aro indebted for this wonderful alter ation ? No; for ho sold our fathers and moth ers into Southorn bondage. Noithcr is there any respoct duo to Abraham Lincoln j for he did not issue his emancipation proclamation either ns an act of justioo to the slnvo or ns o benefit to tho human family, but merely n3 ar act of military necessity, for whioh ho dc Borvcs as much orcdit as n burglar, who, hnv lng forcibly entered a house, finds ho cannot sob itr nnlcss ho liberates tho yard dog, and aets him on to worry his master. No, follow citizens, not to any of those are wo undir any ? obligation j for had not Jeff. Davis robcllcd against Yankoo assumption, wo should have remained in slavery until this day. But as 1 said boforo, I am unaccustomed to public .peaking, and pref or short speeches to long ones ; for mon that talk so muoh, must of no ? esflity. toll lies, for thoro is not truth enough Sn any political party to furnish matorial for r ton minute's leoture.

That when citizens meet to do equal justices to all, fair dealing domands that rep resentation should always bo apportioned to thc scvoral interests to be represented. There fore, when tho whites aro iu tho majority, white men should bo ohoscn ; when tho col ored aro iu thc majority, colored men should bo chosen,- if they havo competency.

That wo ocknowlodgo tho fact that tho colored population among us aro free, and aro fellow-citizens, and entitled to all tho le gal rights that white persons aro.

That as there arc many and good ob jections toa Central ?Committee making nom inations for thc county; and os wo desire to give tho most general participation to all our citizens in making choice of our rulers, wc proposo that tho sixteen Townships in tho County bo divided iuto four divisions, and let a mass meeting bo called in each division tc nominate a candidato for tho Legislature, and pledge themselves to thc support of thc foul nominees of the county that will bo nomina' ted for election next fall, and then let thc four norn'noes meet at Anderson Court House and of their number select ono as a candidate for Senator. 6th. That wo invito all tho citizens of om county, without regard to race or color, t< unito with us in this endeavor to havo honest good and capablo men elected to make equa and just laws for our whole people, and pu down bribery and corruption.

Tho loans of this Company arc os liberal us other compnnics, who dcolaro dividendsat the end of thc socond. third and fourth years, but this Company nt tho end of the first and every year. Thereby the insurer saves several years' intoroston his loans by insuring in thia Company, and ho never looses bis money if bo pays up for ono wholo. year, whereas, in other companies, he has to remain un insurer for several years, or ho looses nil tho monoy ho has paid.
