James A. Hamilton, Esq. Harrington:
SIR-In answer TO your letter of this dale,
take the liberty of referring you to Mr.. Plumer
himself for any explanation Of the slaemen, in
his letter Of the Goth Dec. last.
The information which received in the
spring Of 1904 al Washington, was entirely dis.
,inct from and independent Of that OF Mr.. Pu-
mer. A part of it was not that your father had
consented to be placed at the head Of the project
or to take part in il, but that i! had been COM
munica,ed to him with view to engage his
cooperation in it, and that in the event Of
necessity for the employment Of military force
for its execution, it was contemplated that he
should be placed at It's head. My Informant,
TO the hes; of my recollection, was Mr.. Uriah
Tracy, then a Senator from Connec ticut-I
say, 10 the hes, Of my recollection, because, at
one OF nv conversations with Mr.. Tracy, on
this subject, another member Of Congress, also
now deceased, was present, and l am not per-
fec,ly sure from which of them II was that
received this information. After the close Of
that session Of Congress, being a, New York
on or about the 9TH Of April, 1904, Mr.. Rufus
King informed me that person had been tina,
day conversing with him and also with your
fA2r, as understood Mr.. King, in favor of
The project; but that he himself, and he was
happy to say, your father also, entirely disap.
proved of it.
This is all the evidence have that your ia
Their was made acquainted with the project; So
licited by others to JOIN iu it; and intended by
them 10 be placed al It's head. That he was
said 10 have consented to attend meeting al

Mr.. EDITOR. AS every thing relating to
Mr.. John Randolph is interesting, and as it is
said he prides himself on his Indian descent,
l send you the following account Of his gene
alogy. II is taken from a memorandum fur
nished by the grea, Virginia Orator himself,
which he placed in the hands Of friend, and
is transcribed in his own words, as you will
see:
"Pocahontas. Whose true name was Matou-
cay bap,ised by the name Of Rebecca, married
John Role Esq. and left an only son, Thomas;
whose only daughter married Robert Boiling
of Boiling Hol, West Riding Of York, who
left son John Boiling, one Of whose daugh-
tiers married Richard Randolph Of Gusts,
whose youngest son, John Randolph Of Roam
oke, married Frances Bland. Your humble
servan, is one Of the only surviving issue of
that marriage, and sixth IN descent from Poe
ahontas."

Boston, Monday, Jan. 10.
On Monday last but little business was
done in the Senate. The petitions of Ru-
fus Davenport which were before the
House the first week of the session., were
in the Senate taken up and referred. The
prayer of the petitions is for an amend
ment of the U. S. constitution and the
laws of the State relating to attachments
and arrests on mesne process. Mr.. D.
has been before the Legislature for several
years, on the subject Of the laws relating
to insolvent debtors. He has, also, as he
stated in his petition, addressed all the
Legislatures in the twenty-four States up
on the same subject.
In the House complaint against a
Justice of the Peace in Essex County was
received and referred. Several orders
upon Committees were offered: among

belief that some American troops were APP
preaching TO his assistance.
Your petitioner has thus specifically emu
merated his personal services rendered to
the United States in the war of indepen-
dence, by no means with view to their os-
tentatious display, but at the instance. and
by the advice ofmany respectable and intel
ligent characters, whose opinion it is, that
he has just claim on the gratitude, and
even on the bounty Of his country. He
submits his case toethe National Legislature
and solicits some provision against poverty
and want, while his declining years and
strength render him incapable of struggling
against adverse fortune.

In the Senate, on Friday, orders relat-
ing to poor debtors, and for their dis
charge from arrests and Imprisonment on
certain conditions were referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Hale presented the report of the
Board of Directors of internal improve
ment with the Engineers reports and plans
and profiles of routes for railways from
Boston to the Hudson and from from Bos-
ton to Providence. The reports are quite
'voluminous, more SO than they ought to
be, or than they would have been had the
Directors had more time to condense
their views after the surveys were compile
ted, and at the same time be in season,
early in the session.. You will find in the
Daily Advertiser of Saturday good abb
stract Of the reports, which hope you
will find room to publish. Friends to the
general project are increasing daily. All
that is required is to have the subject un-
derstood and it will recommend itself.
In the House, an order was brought
forward that was originally introduced at
the last session, inquiring into the expedi-
ency Of having surveys made for|routes for
railways in the County of Essex. The
Committee on finance reported resolve
for State tas of $4,000 and for re-im-
bursting the Treasury for the pay of the
members of the Legislature for the two
last sessions. This subject l think will
be viewed in more wholesome light than
it has been for a few years past. The
friends of shifts and enpedsents are less
numerous, and the necessity of State
tax is becoming daily more and more ap-
parent. A bill was reported providing
for the restitution of personal property to
wives divorced mensa ct thoro, and was
assigned for Friday next. The subject of
State tax comes up for discussion on
Wednesday next.
Saturday is not usually day of con-
fiicts in either branch. Nothing of i'm
portance was done in the Senate or in the
House. Several orders and petitions were
presented, which were sent to Committees.
The railway reports are printed they
make quite volume, and I doubt not an
interesting one. Yours, &c.

COLONIZATION, NO. III.

COLONIZATION, NO. Ill.
Whenever the slave-trade, or the sci
zure and expectation of Africans doomed
to servitude shall cease, whether in this
or future century, its last struggle, its
expiring gasp, will be witnessed in A trica.
The gigantick strength of avarice, the
mere love Of gold, in unprincipled men,
whatever Legislators or Plenipotentiaries
may do or say, will maintain this traffick
in human flesh, till their agents and their
ships, are viewed with jealousy and de-
testation, By the Africans themselves.
Hence, more, incomparably, is expected,
from the exertions of the Colonization to-
wards the abolition of slavery, in that
country, than in THIS. Ifinformation can
be difused there. as we fondly hope it will,
by the streams issuing from Liberia Ii
leading men in those discordant and I'M
lettered tribes, once learn, from any
source, the importance and the principles
of evil government, they will naturally,
for self-defence, organize as communities
and for the same reason, confederate,
unite their strength and energy, as occa-
sion may require. Their physical force is
amply sufficient, disorganized as they are,
to repel and destroy those invaders of their
rights, who have torn so many millions Of
their relatives from the tenderest parental
embraces, and doomed them to CALLING
chains and unceasing wretchedness. The
cheering hopeis INDUCED, by some we'll
informed advocates of the Colony, that
young men, natives Of that soil, edu-
Gated at Liberian schools, will prescribe,
and effectually recommend, such publick
measures, in their several nations, as will
defeat the stratagems, and finally paralyze
the whole nefarious system, of slave-deal-
ers. In this way only, it appears to me,
can the abolition of slavery euer be effect
ed. While those unknown and innumer-
able hords remain cropping in their present
ignorance, they must, they will be sold,
and transported by thousands, and endure
the horrours of cruel servitude, in distant,
and | may well tremble to write christian,
lands!
That so great, SO glorious result, may
be confidently expected, from the generous
and spirited measures, adopted by so res
pectable society, l do not say But
men Of extended views, and enlightened
understanding, cherish the hope that it
will be realized, in consequence of these
measures. Thus, in the opinion of many,
the total abolition of this detestable traf-
fick in Africa, is now more probable, than
at any past period. Not only two, but all

The NEXT ADMINISTRATION. The APP
pointment of William Clark, as Treasurer
Of the United States, made last summer
by Pres. Adams, has been confirmed al
most unanimously by the Senate. The
National Intelligencer halls this as an act
Of magnanimity on the part Of the Senate,
and as an evidence of the prevalence Of a
good feeling in the assembly of the States.
We hope it may prove forerunner of dis
appointment to the hungry expectants for
Office who have no claims but those Of
party services, and who are now feasting in
anticipation upon the patronage of Gen.
Jackson. If honesty, fidelity, and capaci-
ty are stillto be the considerations Of fit
ness for publick employ. how many of the
office--seeking, sycophantick supporters
of Jackson are doomed to experience a
Illustration of their hopes. Though Jack
son is very far from being the man of our
choice, we confess that we have never en-
tertained any serious forbodeings with re-
gard to his administration of the general
government. Now that he is elected. we
are bound, as good citizens, to look on
the charitable side of things-in fine, to
Judge of his administration by its acts.
Many Of the papers which have been zeal
ons in their support of jackson are now
attempting to con6ne him to the narrow
bounds of party Of has own. The re-
cent organization of the e jackson Re-
publican party" in Boston is in aid of this
ridiculous project. But we are confident
their plans will be defeated: indeed we
have Gen. Jackson's own word for il that
he will never lend himself to party. His
letter to Mr.. Monroe, upon the elevation
OF that gentleman to the Presidency. is
recollected by our readers, no doubt.
The following extract from it will be an
imperishable record to his condemnation

TUEsDAY, JANUARY 20, 1873.

NJ On our first page will be found an interesting
extract from the recent speech of Mr. Harrison Gray
Otis, on the occasion of his inauguration as Mayor
Of the City Of Boston. 1t is an eloquent appeal to
the good sense of the people in behalf Of himself
and those with whom he has been associated in try
ing times of political excitement Wedo not think
that Mr. Otis stepped aside in the least degree
from proprieiy to introduce this subject The high
source from which the scandalous charge enauated
fully justified him in improving the first favourable
opportunity, before great assem5age OF people, to
repel It. The applause Of the auditory is said to
have manifested in the strongest terms the disbelief
Of the people of Boston in the truth of the recent
allegations of Mr. J. @. Adams. against the federal
lists &c Massachusetts
sIt will be seen that the bill proposing an occu-
patton Of the Oregon River, the territory of the
United States on the northwest coast has been re-
iectcd In the House Of Representatives by MAORI
ty5ofz2 votes The reasons which operated to pro.
duee this result were sht our fur trade needed nc
such protection as would be afforded by the estab
lshment Of the contemplated fort Aand that as foi
the protection it would afford to our trade by sea, s,
project must fail because the river is of difficult haz
ardoos, and almost impracticabIe navigation, and
the coast region Of storms and tempests.
05 Our readers will perceive by reference tc
our domestick news that Mr.. Josiah Quincy, late
Mayor of Boston, has been nominated for President
of Harvard College We sincerely hope the nom
nation viii be confirmed, not only because we think
his talents, energy, and activity will enable him tc
sustain the Office with honour to himself and useful
to the college and community, but because the
shameful treatment which he experienced at the
hands of the Bostonians entities him to more thar
common regard.
DT It will be seen by the Legislative proceeding
that Mr. Silsbee, of Salem, has been reelected t.
the United States Senate.
