FOR THELANcAsTER GAZETTE.
COLONIZATION, NO. w.

Readers wlp have perused my preced-
ing numbers will undoubtedly enjoy a
brief accountof the situation, prosperity,
and prospects Of the young Colony so often
mentioned.
The territory is called Liberia, and the
settlement upon it. was commenced in
June, 1882. The colonists, more than
twelve hundred in number, are building
up eight villages; the principal one is in
advance Of the others. being older and
more populous. This is Monroyia; so
named in grateful reference to the deep
interest, manifested by President Monroe,
in the prosperity of that infant establish
ment. The settlement is but few degrees
north of the equator, extending one hum
dred and fifty miles, on the westerly shore
of Africa, and as far back into the interi-
our, as the purchasers thought proper.
Every acre was honourably and regularly
bought of the rightful owners, and the
Whole is guaranteed to the Colonists, as
neutral ground, by all the respectable ma
val powers of Europe. The soil is highly
productive, and agriculture is highly re-
warded. The inhabitants are comfortably
housed, fed, and clothed. Many families,
in addition to the necessaries, and what
are called the comforts, of life, enjoy some
of its luxuries. Some colonists have al
ready acquired property, and have at COM
mand from three to six hundred dollars.
They have erected thirteen publick build
ings, besides churches. One of them
contains Library of tsoeloe hundred vols.
Their form of Government has been in
successful operation several years. They
realize the right of suffrage. The coice
Of the people designates individuals among
themselves, for legislative, judicial, and
executive authority. Their military force
is organized. For their protection can
non are mounted in their principal Fort.
The seeds Of commerce have terminated
and become visible in Liberia. A small
schooner, in the coasting-trade, annually
produces to its owners four thousand
and seven hundred dollars net profit
No man, acquainted with American his
tory, will hesitate to say, the growth of
Liberia its much more rapid, and its pros
poets much brighter and more alluring,
than were those of any one of the various
colonies, first established in this Country.
Nations bordering on the territory Of the
emigrants, are not hostile, but OH amicable
terms with them. Not with envy or ieal-
ousy, but with apparent confidence and
enjoyment, those adjacent tribes, cherish
and encourage friendly offices, good feel
ings, mutual kindness, and commercial
intercourse, with their neg neighbours.
Our sufeIng and truly pitiabls fellow

Mr.sDavid L. Child. editor Of the Bos-
ton Journal, was tried last week at the Su.
preme Court, in Cambridge, for publishing
libel on Mr.. John Reyes. of Concord,
during the electioneering canvass last
spring, when Mr.. Reyes was candidate
for the Senate. The libel consisted, as
well as we can remember, in charging Mr..
.Keyes as member Of the Commute on
Accounts, with exerting improper influence
in giving the printing ofthe State to True
and Green. because they were Jackson
men. The jury gave q verdict agains
M. Chilli. but several questions Of Law
having been raised. the case will go before
the whole Court for final decision.
