In the brig John, which arrived at Boston a
few days ago, came passenger DR.. Peace, As
sistant A gent of the Colony Of Liberia, who re-
turns on visit to his family. The papers give
the news by that vessel, which is the same news
over again that our readers have already had.
Amongst the news, is that of the death OF seve-
raj of the small expedition hastily fitted out for
the Colony some time ago at Boston. This IS
seized upon with great apparent satisfaction by
the New York Enquirer, as an argument to de-
cry the scheme, and ridicule the honest exer-
tons which have been made, and happily with
success, to establish colony 10 which persons
of color NAV emigrate from America. But the
argument proves nothing more than we have al
ways endeavored to inculcate, that people, habi-
tuated to the Eastern climate, cannot safely place
themselves within the tropics They are as
unsafe in Africa, at the sickly season, as they
would be at the same season on the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico
We state, from authority, that, at the latest
accounts, the Colony was increasing and pros
pering beyond anticipation. Some evidence
of it will be found in the extracts published
to-day, and all the letters received from the
Colony are Of the same tenor. Having always
encouraged this undertaking, and being more
and more in the belief Of It's success, We yet
pledge ourselves to our readers, that, If we see
reason for it in the progress Of time, we shall
be as prompt in retracting our favorable opinion,
and disco uraging contributions, as we have
heretofore been earnest and sincere OH the 9TH
er side. There is no possible motive, or the
part of any individual in this country, to gloss
over this scheme, or TO misrepresent the state
or prospects of the Colony, which have always
been fairly and candidly represented by the
Board Of Managers:

In Washington, ON the I'd inst. Mr.. John
N. Gum, aged 81, one Of the mostrespect-
able Of the citizens of that place, and We
might indeed add of the county OF. Itch
field. This is the second severe loss which
Washington has sustained within few
weeks, Fowler and Gum. having fallen
victims in quick succession to fatal epi-
demic. Mr.. Gum for many years held
the Office Of Sheriff's Deputy in this coun-
ty, and discharged all the duties of that
responsible situation with uncommon fidel-
ity. With habits that were correct, mind
that was sound and discriminating, and in
tegrity which was never known to waver,
he possessed the entire confidence of the
community of which, the circumstance OF
his having been frequently selected the ar
bitrer Of controversies among his acquain-
tances, is an emphatic expression. While
discharging the duties which he owed to
society, to bis family, and to himself, with
scrupulous attention, he was suddenly arr
rested in his career, and we wish to pay no
other tribute of respect to his memory than
merely to say he died an honest man.
