1t is greatly to be lamented that some more
efficient measures are not adopted to promote ed
ucation of the children of the poor despsed color
ed race. 1t is probable that the commissioners of
common schools, think it sin to pay any atten-
tion to those children. What can be hoped for if
this description of the poor children continued
to be neglected? Whose fault is it, 1t is not
their parents fault, because in the first place. most
of their parents are ignorant themselves, and have
no education in consequence of having been born
slaves. Their masters were allowed to raise
them, or grow them up with other cattle, to suit
their own convenience. Consequently we have
portion of our people filling place in society
best to serve as living stock. They are strangers
to the endearments of home, and add, intercourse
beyond that of their inmates, tutored to be happy
when filled and badly clad, without farther knowl-
edge of the blessings of heaven afforded to men in
social life, or any duties required of him by his
Creator; and are badly calculated to have the
charge Of a family. 1t was formerly thought by
their masters that any thing was good enough for
slaves, and now any thing is good enough for the
blacks. We heartily pray that God may awaken
the city authorities to this subject, and that there
may be at least one good school established in this
great city for the above purpose. AT this time

Come, friends, let us sleep no longer; the mag

Providence calls upon US with voice too audi

save them ere they fall. We ask you individu-
ally, will YOU come to the rescue? We have
slumbered too long. We call upon you by all
that is valuable in the prosperity and happiness
of your families, and sacred in your relations to
your fellow man. come up and sign the pledge.
Are we men? then let US prove ourselves men of

The members and congregation Of the colored
Methodist Episcopal church, are assiduously en-
gagged in raising means for the erection of new
church, in more central part of the city. They
have for many years labored under various un-
pleasant disadvantages, in consequence of the very
unsuitable location of their house of Worship
We deem it unnecessary to say any thing about
the claims of the object, but we would most ear
nestly submit them to the kind consideration of
generous and christian public. Our agents are
now engaged in the city, in soliciting funds in aid
of the above object. Do not turn them empty
away. Remember, it is to build house to be
dedicated to the Lord, and we have no doubt it will
prove a blessing to many of our much neglected
brethren.
