From the Richmond Enquirer.
Emigration Of Free Negroes to Africa.-I
nave been pleased to perceive, by pubIica-
tion IN late Enquirer, that the Colonization
society have determined 10 despatch another
expedition with emigrants TO Liberia, this
TALL. But as there will no doubt be many
more persons DESTROYS TO emigrate than could
De transported in one vessel, and as it seems
10 me very desirable that at the present mo-
ment, an impetus should be given from Tir-
gina, 10 the operations of the Colonization
society, cannot but think that it would be
desirable to provide the means in Virginia,
ior sending out second expedition, from the
chesapeake, early this winter. The larger
Inc number sent this year, the more the Co
liony VIII be able to receive next year and
ldo nope that the State, at her own expense,
WIN transport next year as many as the Co
Tony can receive. learn that S25 will pay
the passage Of an emigrant, from the shores
oil Flrginia-of course $4,000 to $4,000,
would send from l60 to 200. Now, I cannot
but think that there are persons enough in
Virginia, interested in this object, and able
ana willing to contribute, to raise a larger
sum than the largest mentioned above, if they
only knew to whom it could be paid. | pro-
pose, therefore, that all who concur with me
IN the views above expressed, shall, without
delay, exert themselves to effect this object,
by contributing themselves, and inducing
others to contribute. Iwould further ven
lure 10 name some gentlemen in different
parts OF the State, whose known attachment

them to receive these contributions, & trans
init them TO the Treasurer, either of the Pa

Congregations, favorable TO the Society, in

N. Il. have not ventured to name Mes
srs. Madison and Marshall, because the age
of the one, and the i'll health of the other,
make it unreasonable to expect them TO take
an active agency in raising funds. 1t will
not, hope, be suspected that Iunderrate the
value of their friendship TO the Society, or
am lnsensible to the moral beauty ofthe spec

The Colony Of Liberia appears to be
enjoying an uncommon degree of pros
perity. Forty six vessels, twenty-one of
which were American, visited Mon
rovia, during the last year.
Some folks have queer notions of re-
ligion and religious liberty. The revi-
walls, according to their views, are all
wrong. A public meeting was held in
Wateton, New York, short time since,
which solemnly pronounced them iniu-
rious 10 individuals and dangerous to the
publicinterests. We presume the lead
ers in that meeting will be highly de-
lighted with the following manifestation
oftheIi own pure, peaceable, and con-
servatiVe principles -

learn that most unaccountable excitement,
leading 70 acts Of violence and the disturbance
of public worship, has existed in Hudson, in
