DEATH OF BROTHER AND SISTER
FIELDING.-Sister Fielding died Janua-
nv "a, and her husband two weeks after,
at Edna, Africa, by the fever of the CHI
mate. We mourn these losses, and la
ment the surprising want Of wisdom and
humanity evinced by so many in giving
countenance to the sending of either colo
nlsts or missionaries to that most deadly
climate. 1t is we'll known that when the
CoIoniz ,tion Society procured the land,
lis inhabitants were very few. Even ma
| tive Africans could seldom abide its de-
structive influences. Send missionaries
into the interior and they will be safe !;
but not place them on that western coast,
along which torei On vessels cannot be
navigated by their own crews, but must
rely on the aid of the natives who are in
ured to the heat and mephitic gases Of
the place, while the ships crew ego be-
low" for safety.
Place Missionaries in the interior, to
teach the people and to prepare native
converts to carry the Gospel to the coast.
J We verify believe that God will make in
QUESTION for blood, on those who, know
ing the nature of the climate on that
coast, will persist in the attempt, in def
ance of physical laws, to build up large
colonies on that coast. More than ten
out of every hundred colored persons SEM
there from the Southern States, die before
being acclimated, as it is admitted bv the
warmest friends of Colonization, and we
have good reason to believe that the pro
portion is nearer one third. White per
sons from the North scarcely ever survive

FIEND-L1KE.-How true is the remark
we quoted not long since from the Lon
don Times, that American slavery, 'whil,
it brutalizes the blacks, imfernalizes tn
whites" The following brief paragraph
from a Tallahassee newspaper MarcI
26th, l84l, is quite an illustration, AM
: shows how utterly detased is the mora
=, sentiment Of that portion of our country
our Christian country, DIS our slavehold
ing Chief Magistrate terms it.
lawful OccURRENcE.-A few nigh
since, we learn, IL negroes belonging I
the Rev. Wesley Adams, of Jeferso
- county. were burnt to death. They wei
:, all in one building, and it is suppose
: were suf1ocated, and rendered insensibl
y as they save no alarm, and when tn
3 doors were spened, uttered not agroan.-
= The building was entirely destroyed
; The loss Of Mr.. A9aQs Is truly serere an

: Southern Benevolence.-The Souther
'. Baptists feel deeply for the heather. The
!. have in Alabama about $4,000 locke
|, up, designed for the preaching of II
d Gospel among the heather; but the alb
ltionists are so wicked, these benevole
/, southerners, can not consent to give the
$4,000 to the heather, so long as abol
ltonists may have place in the Missio
arv Board. What would have becon
Mr.. Editor, if you can inform me, of the.
, $4,000, if the late Convention had r.
tanned Elder Galusha in the Board?-
Would the dono,s have repocketed Il
e money, and thus left the heather to pc
{ ish? What would Southern benevoIen
5 have done in that case? Pray let n
know.-Inquirer.
Reply We can not say what won
have been done with that money, if S.
Cone and half dozen others had n
agreed to sacrifice brother Galusha, al
al brother Dunbar, to appease the wrath
OF the South; but now they have done tn
= deed of infamy on their ooon names, y
'r presume to doubt the fact that any sue
Of sum has been paid to the Board from A
Y, ALBANIA, or that it is in existence, as h
IN been alleged. When the $4,000 sha
III appear on the treasurer's report, we shs
IN believe the story that such a sum W
of collected in Alabama and held back
the contingency alluded to.-!Ch. Ref
