AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

We happy to learn from Capt. BARKER agent of the
New York City Colonization Society that 900 has already
been subscribed towards the purchase of the only territory not
belonging the American Colonies between Cape Pamas
and Cape Mount distance along the coast of about three
hundred miles In the proposed purchase included the ia
slave-mart of the Ganas Only s., 600 more is
qurcd effect this great object and think pledge
the generosity Of citizens that will not long be delayed
Without this additional the 900 already subscribed
binding With it, the Colonies will be made respect
able in point of extent and will be free from many embarrass
ments which they suffer Moreover along this whole
of coast hree hundred mes) the slaverade will be
forever extngushed The cheapest easiest and best way
stop the savede altogether would be to encrce the
tnent with such colonies. These would eectualy
pish the object and nothing else except the civiza
ton and ehsianizaton of the whole African population,
which, without remarkable nterposton of Providence,
will be necessarily slow process. Establish Gordon of such
colonies as those Of Liberia around the African continent and
the vessels employed in attempting suppress
the slave-trade may be permanently Withdrawn.

The Session of Congress, which commences on
Monday next, will, if we may judge from present
appearances, be very fully attended in the repre-
sentatives Hall, and probably by sufficient number
Of Senator's to constitute quorum OF that body TOT
business. The weather has continued so suspicious
for travelling, though beginning to be more wntry
than OF late, that great many Members have ar
rived since our last publication. We have not the
means, however, Of giving any thing like perfect
list Of those now upon the ground, and, especially
as we shall so soon have an authentic list as part
Of the proceedings Of Monday next we therefore

my thousand barrels OF flour, and boats continu-
ally arriving.
| The following estimate has been made Of the
probable deficiency of Great Britain for the year
ls4o, and the probable quantity she may obtain
rom the United States towards supplying that de-
fcency
| II is estimated that Great Britain will REQUIRE
| Seventy millions of bushels of wheat
| The crop of the United States during the last
year is stated at ninety-sia millions of bushels
The crop OF the present year is estimated at one
hundred and fwenfy millions of bushels.
The consumption of the United States, saw
eighty millions of bushels.
Exploration to South America, say ten millions
of bushels.
This would leave for Great Britain and the con-
tnent about thirty or MiryofU millions of bushels
Of wheat
While on this subject take leave to notice an
other fact The impression seems to be general,
both in England and the United States, that flour,
by order in Council or otherwise, will shortly be
admitted duty free. If the wants of the British
people should continue, as they doubt will, is it
not possible that the order to admit to entry may be
followed by another prohibiting the expectation of
all grain What then would be the situation of the
American merchant who had flour on hand, selling
it at seUea or eight dollars per barrel, at time
when il would command nine or ten, dollars on the
continent!
In the case Of Polly Bodine, after having sum-
moned and exhausting about one-half the Jurors of
the city, it has length been ascertained in the
opinion Of the Court, that fair and impartial jury
could not be obtained on Manhattan Island. The
expense of the proceedings thus far has been very
great The trial, therefore, is necessarily transfer

new evidence that the difficulties attending this expe-

anticipated, so long the rate of postage is consd

bited by demagogues in power and out Of power,
the masses seem determined to follow: and that is
disposition to level the standard of every thing,
and every body, regardless of all law, human Di-

in producing this state of public feeling reap the
harvest.

a TRUE NATIONAL SPIRIT.

One of the Editors of the Louisville Journal,
who was present at the Memphis Convention, wri-
ting home on the subject gives the following spirit
ed account Of an incident Of that Convention, more
truly national in its character, and more cheering to
the hopes of the sincere friends Of this Union as
IL IS, than almost any single occurrence we remem'
Der ever to have heard or read of:
"On Saturday evening, Mr.. CIsT, of Cincin-
natl, offered resolution proposing that the Capi-
toll Of the Union be removed to the West. vi
course, Mr.. CIsT meant to Cincinnati ! never
was better pleased in my life with any thing than
with the prompt, hearty, loud, and universal AY
with which the house resounded on the motion TO
refuse TO receive the resolution. | said universal
SAY, but there was one loud NO from the mover,
and squeaking tenor from another person, who
has at the same time modicum of shame. A
greater blow could not by any possibility be aim
ed at the Union than the removal Of the Capitol
from the city which bears the name of WASHING
TON, the father of his country, near which the
bones of that great man repose, and where public
structures worthy of the nation and monuments to
the illustrious dead have been reared-a city so
associated with the Union and its whole history
that the idea of nationality and the last remnant
Of the love Of country would be destroyed if this
wretched and selfish project were carried into
operation. Nothing could have been more graft
flying than the noble manner in which the propo-
sition from Cincinnati was secuted by the whole
Convention, excepting only the mover and the
seconder-a Convention sectional in its nature,
composed chiefly of Western men, met to pro-
mote Western measures There could not well
have been more charming or striking display of
the love of country"
