the other candidate to fill the vacancy.
On Saturday, Rev. Mr.. Sharp was made
chaplain of the House in the second bal
lot, vice Rev. III. Ware, Jr., who is unable
to officiate on account Of ill health. In
the Senate the report Of the Board of d.
rectors of Internal Improvements was or
dered to be printed and itU@ill shortly
be in the hands of the members. Both
Branches will come to choice of Uni
ted States Senator this week. Mr.. Silsbee,
whose term expires in March, is a can
didate for reelection. The GOVERNOR
also is named. Among the less prominent
candidates are Mr.. Dwight, Of Berkshire,
and Mr.. Bates, of Hampshire, both of
whom are now Representatives in Con-
gress. Those who regard the signs of
the times, think they see some clouds in
the political horizon, that are tending to
the same point, and that are TO unite to-
gether, to overwhelm our present political
quiet. 1t is doubtful however whether all
these clouds united, can produce any
harm. The material is not. Of sufficient
substance. The object probably is to re-
store the old divisions, to brush away the
leaves and dirt, and hunt after the ancient
landmarks of party. There are, and
probably always will be, many twaddlers
and small men, sailing on the'political
waters, and who, rather than fail of sue
cess in their political speculations, will
turn pirates, and wage war against the
honorable and upright. Greatand proba-
bly, insuperable difficulties are ID the way of
drawing the old and broad line; line
which at the present day, divides not
measures but men. The course taken in
the late presidential election was such as
to scatter widely and diversity the old
elements; and we have no magician in
the State who has the talent to make
beautiful combinations. The interiour of
the House seems much improved by the
alterations that have been made since the
last session. will not trouble you by a
particular description of them. You will
find them at length in some of the papers.
Should remain in town, | will furnish
you from time to time with any thing of
interest that may be picked up relating to
Legislative proceedings.
Yours, &c.

COLONIZATION, NO. II.

Previous to delineating the vast conse-
quences, expected to follow from the exer-
tons ofthe colonization society, it may be
important to observe; the society inter-
feres, neither directly nor indirectly, with
the rights or property of slave-holders.
1t lures no slave from his Master. II
gives no encouragement to deserters,
no protection to fugitives. Free people
of colour, those who have purchased free.
dom, or have been voluntarily releasedfrom
servitude, and wish for transportation to
the land of their ancestors, these, and
these only, are patronized by the society,
and assisted by its funds. When vessel
is to receive emigrants for Liberia, many
such apply, ardently desiring, and fondly
expecting passage, who cannot possibly
be accommodated. Shareholders, moi
seldom, express their readiness to liberate
their slaves, if the society will transport
them to the Colony, some have not only
given liberty to their slaves, but paid their
passage Us dollars each) to Africa.
In their great exertions, the society
contemplates various important and durable
effects of its labours. Giving some check
to the rapid increase Of our black popula-
ton, is indeed one; but incomparably
less, than what is expected from them be-
yond the Atlantick. Their most cheer
ing and animating prospect, as philanthro-
pists and pubIick benefactors, opens to
them in Africa. They are planting a
vine, ON a Distant but promising soil,
which they hope, under the smiles Of
Providence, will extend its branches. fill
rich clusters, and dispense blessings, to the
remotest borders of that whole Continent.
Clergymen of different denominations are
there, laying open treasures of knowledge.
and tenderly inviting the colonists to inn
bibe the social, civil, moral, and religious
instruction, denied them by the la,os of
the land during their oppressive servitude.
The christian sabbath is not only known,
and observed with great veneration at
Liberia, but all the blessings Of the chris
tian sanctuary are there stately and free
ly enjoyed. When congregations are as
sembled in their churches, not an individ-

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

Boston, Monday, JAM 12.
The Legislature of this State assembled
on Wednesday, last at ii o'clock A. M.
But little business, you know, is done
during the first week. The Committees
who mature the work must report to the
House before discussion can begin in good
earnest. The elements Of debate now in
a crude shape will soon assume form and
proportion, and the winter will probably
see full share of speeches of every va
riety.
The GOVERNOR communicated his mes
sage to both branches on Wednesday. AS
you will of course print his message, in
extenso, / shall not attempt to give any
account Of it. He discusses several sub
jects of much interest to the State. That
of the State Tax-of the Massachusetts
Claim-of Railways-Grants to the Agri-
cultural Societies, &c. &c.
The report of the Board of Directors
of Internal Improvements, which has been
prepared at some length, is printed and
only awaits the completion of few plates
in order to be presented to the Legislature.
The subject it is believed will be taken
up in few days in good earnest, and
some disposition will be defnitively made
of it in some form or other. How far the
Legislature may be disposed to encourage
the project, is a matter of the greatest I'M
certainty. The most that can be reasona.
bly, expected is, that they will consent that
the State shall subscribe to certain part
of the stock to be created, by forming q
company of individuals The city oil
Boston, also, corporation, it is thought
may 60 something. But the whole of the
matter is one of mere speculation at this
present writing. Besides the railroad
project, the discussion of the banking sys-
tenn will probably consume some days in
the Legislature. This is indeed matter
OF the. last importance. as the charters of
all the banks will expire in 1881 and as
the Commonwealth is at present in the
humiliating condition of dependency upon
the Bank Tax for large part of its reve-
nue.. With great resources the State, like
a thriftless individual, is increasing its
debt every year. But whether State Tax
will be raised cannot now be foreseen.
There is much business before some of
the Committees and reports may be ex-
pected this week from some of them.
Mr.. Train, Of birmingham, was on
Friday chosen Senator to gil the vacancy
from Middlesex, occasioned by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Jarvis, who has gone into
Customs. Mr.. Fuller of the Council was

tons Of the Minister, as opportunity may
offer, or occasion require.
In that flourishing little Colony, schools
are opened, instructors, now paid by the
society's funds, are surrounded by schol-
ars, receiving lessons adapted to their
state of mind. From fifty to an hundred
natioes of that region are already found
in those schools, sent there by their pa
rents, from adjacent tribes. More in
structers are much wanted, and | am
happy in saying, school is established
by charity in Hartford,* Conn. for the
purpose of proposing free negroes of this
country, to become schoolmasters; and
such as may be thought qualified, to be-
come Gospel Ministers, in the land of
their ancestors. Few, very few years
can elapse, before youths, native Africans,
and emigrants from America, taught at
Liberian schools-having learned the En-
glish language, and In this language been
instructed more or less, in such arts and
sciences, as are of primary importance, to
communities situated as the millions in
that country now are, these youths, their
minds being thus enriched, will naturally
return to their respective tribes or nations,
and in their aatiUe tongue diffuse the
great lessons they have received, relating
not only to agriculture, mechanick arts,
commerce, laws, and national policy; but
relating also to social intercourse and en-
joyment; to the great principles of govern
ment, morality, and even of religion it.
SELF One young man thus qualified may
soon prepare many Of his pupils to teach
their associates very usefully, while rapid
ly advancing in knowledge himself. Thus
from Liberia, as streams from fountain,
rays Of light may be sent forth, increasing
in splendour, breaking through and dis
polling the clouds of ignorance and dark
ness, which have rested SO many ages on
that quarter of the globe, till the bles-
sings of civilization, and the knowl-
edge of gospel truth, shall unspeakably
melorate the condition of all those un-
taught superstitious and idolatrous millions.
