Tfic Verdict of au Ontragcd and Insulted People. r-rr The 6udden and radical changes which present bloody war has caused with the "sentiments and opinions of men are cxtraor- dmary, and without parallel. If, three short years ago, any man of political and social in- fluencc had deliberately proposed the univer- sal and unconditional emancipation of slaves in Southern States, ho would hare been even by nine-tenths of the Northern people as a visionary enthusiast and fanatic. Seventy, years' of peaceable acquicsence in the existence of slavery, had riveted the con with regard to its peculiar rights and extraordinary privileges so deeply on the pub-lie mind, that no man of ordinary prudence or -sagacity dreamed of proposing its immediate and utter extinction.

The first two years of the w'ar brought won derful changes in public sentiment, but it is not until within the last six or eight months, that an ardent, spontaneous wish has been kindled in every truly loyal heart that this most infamous of all Satanic inventions, should bo swept from the face of the earth forever. At this hour when the whole Nation is excited arid convulsed with the terrible results of the 'most deplorable Civil, war ever known in hu mail the man who would attempt to upon the advantages, blessings and ben 1 eflts of American Slavery, would not only be "regarded as a crazy zealot, but s-t down as a cold hearted monster. When we survey the bloody scenes which have been passing before us and vainly attempt to conceive the amount Df human suffering which has been caused by Ihe workings arid peculiar characteristics of this wretched institution, how can we be sur prised at the tremendous revolution in pub lie opinion which has occurred If any thing 'remained in order to rryike this change thorough and complete sweeping and tin xjhangeable it is the recent awful drama which has been and which continues to be enacted in the yicinity of Richmond. The carnag which has there occurred among our brave and gallant hearted countrymen, will cause stern hand of retributive justice to write the verdict for all coming time as plainly as General Grant seems to hare eitner nuay or mo retreat of i which began Thursday night, went no f3 than tho River Ta, four or five n.iles Po and being arrcBted ou the firat llina r- i 1 1 1- I i ii ri run i tte Ta. nr the round Miliiont.t i r1 offars a stronger hold to an army Mhic bers ofi Lee's army were no longer sufll occupy a lino so extctlsive.

We condense from the -Anglo African an actrount of that it will not be uninteresting to the friends-of these delegates, here i The Chairman, after introducing each of the distinguished gentlemen to the meeting, invited Mr. Hill to make some remarks. He gave a deeply interesting account of the manner in which St. Andrews Chanel.

't lhe -speaker then spoke upon tho subiect of slavery. He said that? it had been a. massive wall against which many had pecked, but John Brown was the only man who had the skill and power to.

break through it, and he had made the passage way so large thiat Abraham Lincoln -and all his hosts had ample room to nass thmriyh long and continued Mr. Hill's re marks were full of spirit, wisdom, and hope, and were received wiin manuestations of great de light. I Mr. John R. Good was the next speaker.

He, like Mr. Hill, professed.himself incapable of addressing such an intelligent audience, but his remarks, which were short, were received with great applause. We were remarkably struck with this gentleman's manner. He had dwelt amid the horrors of slavery so long, arid had seen so much of it that he seemed too full for utterance. Tears and action would hare suited him much better than This was the meaning of bis countenance as we read it.

Mr Clinton D. Pearson was next introduced. After apologizing, he, in a few words, gave a clear and distinct account of the interview which the Delegation had with President Lincoln, and informed the meeting that Mr. Lincoln gave the committee full assurance of his sympathy i a the' struggle the colored people of North Carolina are now maKing tor tneir rights.
