says-itis with pain that we are compelled
to state, that our pecuniary neeessaries were
never more pressing thaa at present We
are aware that the public, looking only to
the receipts of the Society during the past and
present season, may and undoubtedly 10 ex-
peet that large companyrof cmigrants shoad
Immediately be transported to Liberia But
it should be known, that no ineos siderable
portion of recent contributions has been nece..
sariiy applied to repay a loan in Isa7-.'as
to defisy the expenses incurred in sending
out large expeditions: much heavier amount
has been drawn from US, to repair the fortih-
cations, purchase supplies, and improve the
condition of the colony. We have reason to
hope and believe hat.imilar expenses as those
last mentioned. viii never again occur. We
have confidence in the ability OF she Colony 10
sustain itself, and the recent denaandsupon u
are probably, in some measures Ut least, to be
attributed to the diminished v1lue ofthe trade
OF the Factories, admirably conducted bv the

1t must have excited some surprise in the
House, during the discussion OF the Bin to
regulate the mileage, TO hear Mr.. wiekiiGe
expressing his hostility TO the idea Of eficetng
economical reforms by ..edasisg the salaries
of public officers He has becosae very in

honorable member the injustice to suppose

course, but he viii excuse us for taking up

and prone the emo,uments Of public servants
and we deem it ungratefui in him to tarn his

! age and our coustry are worse than those o.
/ all other ages and countries; bat seeing what
we see, and knowing what we knew, rye
cannot but think that he who sits down &c
write the history of these times, viii fall into
| great hewiloerment when he comes to exam
ine and eoilate all the incidents and items
which form the elements of political biogra-
ply. 1t is the consciousness of this truth we
presume which has produced SO many auto
biographies OF late years, or which has led
prominent politicians to obtain the aid Of IL
terary friends TO disentaneie The intricate
skein of their lives and presont ii to the iu-

developing truth, he may catch from them
bis cue, and thus become an unconscious IN

/ At Galenn, Illinois, On the o9d November
| the cold was so intense, that the Thennone.
ter fell to twenty one degrees below zero
| The Ca,ena Advertiser says, that on thai
| day three men sat out from Col. Nm. s. Ham
! ilton's Furnace, for Dodgevile, anG lost then
way. Night came upon them, and they wan
dcred about in search OF some road or patti
which would lead them TO their destined
/ place. Finding none, they all became wea-
ry, and so benuEhed with cold, that tiei,
senses seemed to have nearly left them; ard
one of the three, more exhausted than the
! others, having lost all sensation of cold, be.
! gan TO feel sleepy, and resolved TO lie down
| and rest TIL morning, when he expected IL
be revived and refreshed, and that he would
then soon End his ssay to some house Che
| attempts of the other two to prevail OH him
/ to proceed farther, were in vain; icing near
| ly exhausted themselves, they were compel
| ed to leave him TO drop into an eternal sleep,
unless they should soon arrive al a place
where they could gethelp.
] The man they left was entirely unconscious
that he was in the least danger Of freezing or
suffering They proceeded onward until so
much overcome by cold and fatigue, that
they also came TO the Ike conclusion, OF Is
ing down ill morning; when they soop heard
/ the sound of an OK bell, at Mr.. Carrolls near
Hoard's Furnace. This gave them new en-
ergy, and they shortly found the house, where
they met Col. Hamilton, who immediately
went out with others In search Of the man
| they had left; but they found him too late
he was dead and frozen TIFF, lying ON Ills face.
1t appeared that nc had not Struggled much;
as he was found in position which his com
| panions say he assumed TO beat his feet 10
gether. They brought han ia and buried
hun. His name was Joseph w. iioaier, from
Albany, in the State Of New York.
