We are indebted to the Lancaster Mass Gazette
for the following account of this infant colony. 1t WILL
we think, interest many of our readers.
The territory is called Liberia undthe settlement
upon it commenced in June, 1922. The colo
nsts, more than twelve hundred in number arc build
ing up eight villages; the principal one is in advance
of the others, being older and more poDulous This
is ,ronrOriG; named in grateful reference TO the
deep interest, manifested by President Monroe i'm the
prosperity of that infant establishment The settle
ment Il but few degrees north the equator extend
ing hundred and fry niles on the westerly shorc
OF Africa, and far back into the interior as the
purchasers thought proper. Every acre was honou-
raby and regularly bought of tho rghtful owners
and the whole is guaranteed TO the Colonsts neutral
ground by i the rcspccta bic nayal powers of Europr
The soil is highly productive, and agriculture -
highly rewarded. The inhabitants are comfor-
taby housed, fed, and clothed. Many families in ad.
dition to the neccssares, and what are called the
comforts of life, enjoy of its luXuries. Some
colonsts have already acquired property, and have n;
command from three to six hundred dollars. Toy
have erected thirteen public buildings besides church.
&c. One of them contains Library Of floeire ham
bred volumes. Their form of Government has been
in operation several years. They realize the right of
suffrage. The rOicc Of me people desrnates indivi-
dnhls among themselves, for legislative, judicial
and executive authority. Their military force is
organised Four cannon ire mounted IN their Drin-
cipal fort. The seeds of commerce have terminated
and become visible in Liberia. 4 small schooner in
the coastng trade annually produces to it's owners
four thousand and seven hundred dollars net profit
No man, acquainted with American history. will
hesitate to say, the growth of LDerin is much more
rapid and its prospects much brighter and more alur-

Gen Scotfs cGse.--Mr. Draytou, from the Commit
tee on Military Affairs made report TO the House of
Representatives of the u. s. OIL the memorial of Gen
Winfield Scott which was read, but the ccnsidcra
ton thereof was postponed until the I'd day OF Feb
The Committee conclude tho report as follows:--
1t seems to the committee to be a curollory dedu-
chile from what they have promised that without any
interference OF the Executive the regular Army of
The Union would, at this time, be subject the COM
mnnd of Maj General Macomb, he being the officer
highest IN rank Of the line ofthc army; and even were
tins proposition questionable, the committee enter
ians doubt OF his being entitled 10 TINT command
having been specially appointed to it by the President
ofthe L. States under the authority conferred upon
him III the 6ed ofthc Rules and Articles :War.
The committee being of opinion that our legislation
clear and explicit upon the subject under its consi-
deraton, has therefore, altogether RETAINED from any
inquiry into the military regulations or uSagcs Of
other nations.
For the submitted by it, the committee re-
commends the adoption of the following resolutions
Resolved, That it is inexpcdient for Congress to
pass any law relating 70 the rights and duties of Off

ryng tides, that the rudder never be fixed 10 any
one given Course; and that politicians can never ad
ventageously direct by fixed principles interests so
muitarous, and distinct from each other "a those of
the industry of great kingdom The truth is com
mon sense is every where the same, and can better
direct pursuits of trade than lecturers
The national industry, whether applied to agrcul-
ture or TO manufactures Is tho only source of nation
al wealth. II is the employment, the revenue, the
annual rent, of the great national staple which we
possess; whether we consider this capital to be
indigenous, and To be deposited in a rich and
fertile SOIL orr whether IL consists of the raw pro-
duct OF native growth or foreign importation. La.
hour Is nilln all Now, the principle for which we
nave always been contcndng is,-that such n source
oinccpcndence and wealth ought not be without de-
fence against forcignrvary The surest market istho
nearest and that rs tho market and il is both

reeicn to this market that men toll nd sp;n md
the bread of curefniness. At the Same time when
labor Is in tourishing state, the home ma rkct is not
sufficient, but needs some vent abroad. fcrc then is
the difficult problem to solve; to preserve n home
market from being overwhelmed. by cheap foreign
goods and, at the same timc to force orr own COM
moditles into foreign consumption. To solve this
difficulty 1t Is Justly SAID, that must have Tariff
afording general protection to articles of native
