LARGE GRAPES AND THE FoxGRAPE

In one particular, we think we ueed not hes

W. last week obtained several specimens OF
the crane produced by this vine. Their aver
age size and weight was fully double that OF
the e.a7e in its Wild state. One OF the larger,
weighed l53 grains. another weighed l62, and
a iiind iG4- his latter measured 3 38 inches

AN ERROR CORRECTED

We were sorry to see in the New York
Observer Of last week, our paper. noticed as
having been issued merely in consequence Of
the change Of the " Freedoms journal" in
respect to African Colonisaton. We plainly
stated in our Address, to friends and patrons,
sentiments wholly different from those attribut-
ed TO US by the observer" and we think it
ungenerous in the enlightened Editors of that
paper, to doubt our veracity.-The improve
ment Of society is our object, and were there
not coloured man in America, save the
Editor Of this paper: and as much corruption
and sin as there now is, we should feel it our
duty to issue this publication. Such is the
christian charity of the Editor, that he would
feel as much concerned for the improvement
ofvirtue and religion, among the white popu-
lation as among the coloured. The salvation
Of the King Of Great Britain, lies as near his
heart, as the salvation of any of the sable
Kings on the continent Of Africa.
