Rev .Ex-GovERNoR PINNEY.-This
agent of Henry Ciay's Miss Soc. 1.-THE
American Colonization Society," is again in
this city, begging money to send out more
missionaries and to support those already
in the Held As money is very scarce,
no doubt Mr.. P. would be glad to secure
donations in such articles as would be
useful in spreading the Gospel in benight-
ed Africa. Iftherefore you have any old
muskets, rifles, blunderbusses, cutIasses,
swords, drums, flies or even. flags, it might
be wellto send them in. Such means
of grace" have already been found very
eficacious in subduing the savage natives
We hope those who deal in gunpowder
and lead will come forward and make
handsome donation to this mission
These resources may be Of serious SER
vice in settling the squabble between Mis-
sionary Seys and Governor Buchanan.
If you have Bibles, books and tracts of
any kind, or paper, exchange them for
the above mentioned articles, as bat very
few oflhese missionaries can read or write.
Donations may also be made in Lumber
to finish .'the saw mill ;" this enterprise
is in fine state of progression.

Liarity of Ian guage that | would not my
self have used-but its severity is altogeth-

purpose of praising it OF blaming it-but
for its adaptedness to calling attention TO
the temperance of another man in this
country, from Liberia, of more odious and
execrable character than John B. Pilney,
former governor of the Colony, whose
name heads the article.
Before mentioning the name Of this in
dividual, it may not be aniss to explain a
single allusion made in the latter para
graph. The leading intimations in the
| former parag graph cannot be misapprehend
ed BY any who are at all conversant with
the conmonest things in the history ofthe
Liberian Colony. That there have been
more guns than Bbles-more fighting
than preaching-more killing than con
verting, all know, who are familiar with
the history of the enterprise. But the al
