MEETING AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE LAST

MAY OK Ol' THE AFFLICTED CITY.
A mocuns wu hold last night In the largo ball of ibo
Cooper Institute for the purpose of taking meas
ures to reliovo tUo distress oaasotl by the
lire at St. John, New Brunswick. The hall
*m moro than ball llilcd. The threaten
iojt storm jnst previous to tho hour for ibo commence
ment and the shortness ol tlio notlco doubtless caused
tho small attendance. Mayor Ely, who presided,
briefly stated tho object ol tho meeilng and :ben In
troduced Mr. llenry Ward Boccbor, who was recelvod
witli upplauso. lie said that bo should be 3orry to
have been absent from u meetlug called to aid a pcoplo
so intimately connected with us as were the people of
8k John. In referring to Ins visit thoro be said tbat
It sceiuod to him that It whs but as yestorday since ho
was lu that city und was a guest in the maguidceut j
hotel that was now In ashes. Tho thought that should !
b<j present lu tho minds ol those ho was uddross. [
Ing was thai u Miminr calamity mulit befall |
tbein at any tituo. It mattcrod inilo where I
such aecideuts happen. Where suiforlng was loll
wnetbor it was in New York or in Brooklyn, or iu I
1* ranee, or on the distant battle Ileitis, or elsewhere, I
tho sentiment ol true brotherhood was aroused within
us. In these times this feeling of our common
humanity had bccomo a sentiment, nuu was no longer
a dogma. And this keling was noi confined to our
selves, but was equally true ot the whole nuinan race,
l'hero wero reasons, however, in this piruculur I
instance, that snould arouse within us moro i
than ordinary sympathy for llieso suilerorH. If tbeso ]
were wltbiu our own border we should need no special I
inducement to go lo their help. But il we were swill !
lo aid our own children how much swifter ought we to
bo to aid those ol a friend! Iliore should bo mani
fested toward theso sufferors by us a cour
tesy, a chivalry, a Christian heroism, because
tliey are not ol us, but uoar neighbors to us.
Tbeso sentiments seemed to bo peculiarly appropriato
now bocausu in Ureal Britain groat honors were being
shown to General (iraut by all classes, from the tiueeu
upon tho throne. (Appluuso.) l'hero wero oibor rea
sons thai suggested iheinselvos. The old Revolutionary
lervor had died iut, we were forever separatod from
ibo mother country, parly questions no longer agitated
us, and wo fell thai those pcoplo ol Su John aro very
near akin to us.
WUO TIIK ST. JOHN I'KOPI.K Altl.
It was a pleasure for him lo remember tbat these
people of Si. Joun, bolore our revolutionary era, had
it'll the American shores Jmt as conscientiously as
any l'uriluns bad letl England, becauso they could uol
live under tho dominiou ol a tyranny that was after
ward resisted by Americans. St. Joba was princi
pally sotlluu by refugees from Massachusetts and tho
adjoining States. Mr. Beccner thou doscrlhod the
beauty ol the cities of Mouireni, Toronto and i^uebt-c,
and cotumeuiod on the industrial qualities ol the Can
adians, and zuid thut it was us true in nations us
in prvale life tbat it wan a good thing to havo a good
neighbor. Sltoe we may not annex Canada?once be
thought wo should (applause)?lor wo have as much
territory now us we can take ouro of, it bad been
said that Anfcrlca wanted Mexico, (iood heavens!
Mexico! Lot us, be said, cnltivato kindno-s und
good feeling to our neighbors. It is merelr a political
Una thai separates, and In their sorrow lot us be their
comforters. In tbia matter thoro could be uo
leeiiug of sectarianism?all questions of whether they
wero Protectants or Catholics must bo forgotten. The
meet leg bad been called together hastily. Had it not
been so the Uull would not havo been large enough to
contain tnuse who deairod to attoud. Toe citizens ol
Now York wonld do ull that was In ibeir power lo
assist these stifTorers, and Iheu when he next trod
the streets ol tno city of St. John he would seo us
ho bad teen in Chicago a rairaclo of rebuilding that
was moro wonderful than the miracle of destruction, '
and be would seo in St. Johc m city ot greater beauty
