Late and interesting from Liberia BY
an arrival at Norfolk, we have received
Liberia papers to the 3lst Of July inclu-
sive. They bring US the melancholy in
telligence that frontier settlement Of the
Colony called Port Cresson, which had
been conducted on Quaker principles, in
respect to preparations for defence, was
attacked by native tribe on the night Of
June 10th, and about t,centy: :fopr Of The an
hab,tanty massacred As it was EXPECT
ed the neighboring settlement at Edna
would also be attacked, corps Of volun-
teers was sent up from Mourovia to aid
in protecting it. Furthermore, the Col
ony had issued conditional Declaration
Of War against the hostile chief. There
is no doubt Of the Colony being able to
put down any native force which can be
brought against it.

nah, on the Goth of August, with emf
gran.s--all well.-[N. Y. Jour. Of Com.

yond pursuit. When he was seized, he
thought Il was for his share in the recent
skirmish, TO which impression il is proba-
bly, owing, that he did no, give an alarm
at all hazards. When, he discovered in
whose hands he was, he behaved perfect
ly quiet At Nacogdoches, the En-
prasario furnished guard TO the Sabine
river. Expm there to Natchitoches, he
was brQJ by Taylor and two others.-
AT AIs 6dria the party fell in With Mr..
KtMpl; NE brother Of the two murdered
children. Rbo was returning from an un-
successful hunt after the assassin in .Ar-
Kansas. From that place he was brought
without difficulty to New Orleans, aud
thence to Mobile. y.
The crime Of which this man is accus-
ed, is one Of the most atrocions ever read
Of in the annals Of depravity. Two child
rem, lads of to II years of age, were
butchered in cold blood, wantonly and
savagely, from demoniac spirit of re-
venge against their parents. The crime,
the fight, the pursuit and the arrest, form
altogether, an exciting as well us u terri
BILE tragedy.
MISSIONARIES TO GREECE. On Wed
nesday last, the Rev. Hilard Bryant, Of
the general theological seminary Miss
Mary w. Baldwin, from Virginia, and
Miss MnlIig an, Of this city, embarked in
the brig Lima, captain Beares, for Mar
se,lles, on their way to Athens, Greece,
as missionaries Of the protestant episco-
pal church. Their arrival there will be
most welcome relief to the small but de-
voted band, who have preceded him in
this interesting sphere Of missionary Id
Dor. Miss Mulligan is the sister Of Mrs.
Hill, whose arduous and disinterested
services in the cause of Christian educa-
ton in Greece, are so highly and deserv-
edly appreciated both abroad and at home.
They carry an assurance to our friends
in Greece, that they are not forgotten at
home, and take with them the prayers and
sympathies Of the church, in behalf of
themselves and those with whom they are
henc celorward to labor in the bonds of
Christian fellowship. Let each one re-
member his own individual responsibility
in sustaining, by his prayers and contri-
buttons, this aud every enterprise of our
common church. Churchman.

turday night, for Nantucket, accompan-
led by Deputy Marshal Gordon, for the

MIR. Van Buren's reply TO the Committee of the Ma
uonal convention, signitying his acceptance of the no
mlnauon tor President by that body, will be found in
our columns to-day. We do not affect to conceal the
qualification with which we give il TO our readers. 1t is
alike admirable IN its tone and avowals-and is worthy
of its source and the occasion.
Mr.. V. u. avails himself, with great pertinency. of the
opportunity TO place his conduct, in relation to the hiul,
Office Tor which lie is now presented by the unanimous
voice OF the Democracy of the Union, in It's true light
before the people. Assaulted and misrcpresented as he
mas been on this subject, nothing can be more satisfac.
Tory, nay, triumphant, than this exposition of his course.
Even his political enemies must conccde the delicacy and
propnety OF his conGuct, and they cannot detract, ifticy
would, from a reputation, political and personal, which
mas as little to fear from the malice as it has from the
hostility of the Opposition.
Severa! OF the Opposition journals, we perceive, have
promptly copied Mr.. Van Buren's letter into their CO.
lumns. So far, they do an act of Justice. That they
hnd iauit with IT, IN some respects, is perhaps natural;
rs certainly not unexpected. One of them, the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, objects {, it, because Mr.. VIZ
cites Ihos. Jefferson as 'the great cxcmplar of his poll
teal faitlE' aad the editor of that paper, true(to his an
Gent political hatreds, reioarks, that "Mr. Jcffcrson's
principles, political, moral, and religious, were detesta-
bic The editor of the Com. Adv. is among the few
modern wings who venture to express (what nearly
all oil them entertain) unchanged Federal sentiments in
relation to MIR. Jefferson and his Democratic opinions
Objections, therefore, to Mr.. ". Buren,, on that ground.
and froiu such sources, are complimentary alike 10 the
soundness OF his principles and the integrity of his po-
htlcal character. At any rate, il is sufficient for the Re-
pubhcans of the Union, that hr. Van Buren, looks to
MIR. Jefferson, politically, as his ''great excmplar." and
that upon that rock his Administration will be establish

"THE PROSPECT BEFORE US"
We ask our readers TO look with us, for a moment,
over the political chess-board, and deliberately scan the
prospect before US We assure them that il is full of
promise for the best interests and permanent welfare of
the Republic; and that at every steI they will meet with
the most gratifying ,coDfirmations of the united and re-.
slstless energies of the Democratic Party of tie Union.
Every day adds to its strength; and eVery day, disguise
the fact as the Opposition may hope to do, proclaims
their waning and ~decaying hopes. They sink before
the prosperous condition Of the countrywide successful
efforts of the National Administratioa-th incongruity
of their motley association-and the overthrow of their
great monied auxiliary. They may assume all forms and
disguises Modification at tile South, and Federalism
at the East, may unite with Apostacy at the West. They
mo- win and wear, and change with the phases of the
moon, every cognomen and title. They may exhaust
the vocabulary of party names. Tkcy may form combi-
nations to the utmost capacity of which their contra
dictory and opposing materials arc susceptible or they
may multiply their candidates and divide their tickets in
every State, and adapt them to every section. But il
will all avail them nothing. Their defeat is inc vitable.
They are already horS du comLat-They know and feel
1T; and show 1t in every movement. 1t requires no power
OF divination to forctel the political prostration ola par
tyr with the Portents of coming evil so thick about il,
and the elements of decay and dissolution, forming, if
we may so speak,, its very vitality.
But let us glance at the Political Chess Board.
