short but conclusive. The lady determin-

South CAROLINA MovING.--The
Charter Oak, the paper of the Connecti-
cut A. 5. Society, published at Hartford,
meets the common allegation, You have
so exasperated the South that you cannot
gain access tothem, by several recent facts,
such as the Elmore Correspondence, the
letter from Virginia to our president, the
circulation of Mr.. Adams speech and of
anti-slavery papers at the South. But
still more important announcement is made
in regard to South Carolina, on the au-
thority of IAN intelligent gentleman re-
Gently from that state, who called at the
anti-slavery Office" Hartford, few days
since. 1t is, that "Several individuals,
SHAREHOLDERS, HAD GONE FROM
CHARLESTON to the West Indies, for the
purpose Of SEEING FOR THEMSELVES THE
EFFECTS OF EMASCIPATIoN, and that 9TH
crs with whom he was acquainted intend
ed to 60 soon" on the same errand.
This is noble. This is taking hold of
the matter in a mani Y way. We trust that
before winter, there will be delegates
from every slave state in the West Indies
to see for themselves. They ought to be-
Iieve the word of God, that the conse-
quences of doing right are always better
than the consequences of doing wrong
But since they will not believe on such
testimony, "seeing is boieving," and as
aboli:ionists believe in principle and ex-
pediency, we ask them to go and see.-

LTBER1A-The National IntelIigencer,
for August 6, furnishes us with the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Liberian Her
aid, for April, showing conclusively, that
the agricultural sperity of the colony
is yet 70 come, and still lacks the zone
thing" viz: strength to achieve it; while
so far from being pacifcator among the
| tribes, or aboishing it in its vicinity, it
must have help from abroad or itself be
destroyed BY these causes.
Nothing is now wanting to the rapid
progress of the colony, in agriculture and
commerce, but means to preserve pacific
| relations among the contiguous tribes, and
to keep from our vicinity that fruitful
mother of all confusion the sIave-trade.
This, we Of ourselves, are unable to do"
This, aoe of ourselves, are unable TO
do" So the aboIitionists have always
said. And now it comes out that unless
the y. S. Government will interfere un-
constitutonalIy, the coIonists must be bro't
back to their Gown country" or amaIga-
mate With the larger tribes or be exterm-
mated. TO this issue things will come at
last
n. B. The Vermont Chronicle, in con-
wing the above intelligence, carefully omits
the last sentence. So much for Colonial
lion honesty.-Eman.
BAPTIzING BY PROXY.
Mr.. Lufkin, formerly of CharlestoWn.
Ms. has made to US the following comnu-
nication of facts. He spent 7 months in
the State of Georgia, about year ard
half since; and in the course CT his resid-
ence there he became acquainted with a
number of slaves who were members of
the Cdlvinist Baptist church, and who in
formed him, they were baptized in the fol-
lowing manner, by Baptist minister in
Brunswick, Ga. They were led down
into the water and dipped by a large atb-
letic slave, while the minister stood nnon
the shore, and said, 81 baptize thee in the
name of the Father, Son. and Holy Ghost.
Amen"
Mr.. Lnlkln was present the dav before,
when those slaves told their experience
The minister sat With his penknife cut
ting the pew, while he called the converts
one by one, to come near him aud relate
what God had done Tor their souls. Thew
approach d side-wise, with their heads
bowed as is usual for slave to approach
an overSeer at the South, and with their
backs partially turned toward the minis
ter, related their experience.
This minister's name is Macintosh.-
One Sabbath our informant saw about 80
of his slaves started off in the afternoon
toward place On the canal where thew
We're to work the next day. On the wav
they came to number Of shantees that
had been abandoned by some Irish labor
ers, and which were then occupied BY the
hogs, that In great numbers run at large
in that country. The hogs were driven
out, and the slaves driven in to sIeen dr. |
ring the night-Zlon's Watcha,an.
TO turn unfortunate circumstances
to good account is a mark of genius. |
