—Fifty-two colored emigrants sailed for Liberia recently in the bark Liberia. They were forwarded by the American Colonization Society. Three clergymen were among the cabin passengers, one of whom goes to the Boporo Mission in the interior. The majority of those emigrating are mechanics and farmers. Many of them are members of Christian churches. They are comfortably quartered on board, and have more conveniences than is usual on emigrant vessels. The American Colonization Society has made a contract with the agents of the vessel, who agree to carry adults for $50 and children for $25. This amount includes everything required during the voyage, and the Liberian Government insures their support for at least six months after their arrival. Each single immigrant receives ten acres of land, and the head of a family twenty-five acres. Ex-President Warner, recently elected Vice-President of the Republic, is the Society’s agent to receive the emigrants, and under his charge they will be kept until they can support themselves. The Society has sent many parties before this and reports the applications as so numerous that space cannot be found to accommodate them. —A very different enterprise, apparently, is the Liberia Exodus Association, which failed to provide the steamship which was to be ready December 15th. Says Mr. Scarborough, an intelligent colored man connected with Wilberforce University: I regard the Liberia Exodus Association as another Credit Mobilier affair on a small scale. We judge of an undertaking by the character of the men engaged in it. Now, it does not require a profundity of knowledge to tell who and what these men are; what has been their past history, what it is now, and what it will probably be in the future. All these we can pretty well determine. It is stated on good authority that a petition will be sent to Congress praying for aid; the exact amount is not stated. However, I am confident that I express the feelings of hundreds of the better-thinking colored citizens when I say that Congress should make no appropriation for any such pell-mell movement. If Congress wishes to make an appropriation for the negro, let it make it with the restrictions that it shall be used to pay off the deficit caused by the sinking of the Freedmen’s Savings Bank, or for the purchasing of lands and outfits in the great West, that the negro may wend his way thither, build up and utilize the hitherto barren country. In South Carolina, it is said, thousands are selling or letting their little farms and homes by way of preparation for leaving America; men, women and children all have the African mania. My advice to these people now is this: To pay no attention to these fair promises; if they have sold their homes, buy them back if possible; if they have leased their farms, rent others till the lease expires and then return to their own; or, if this is not desirable, seek homes in the great
