1b u.e Edi.or. Of he RepuDlie:

GENTLEMEN: All the friends OF the coored race and
ofthis Union must peruse with deep interest the
mortal which appeared in your journalof yesterday,
invoking the countenance and aid of Congress in
furtherance Of plan for the suppression of the
slave trade and the civilization of Africa. In my
Judgment, the relations which we shall sustain to
the Republic of LIBERIA, and the means by which
we can render that republic inviting and eligi-
BILE home to our colored population, questions
second in importance to none which can be sub
mitted to the executive and Legislative departments
Of the Government. wise decision on these
questions will do than all things else to settle
the difficulties which distract the country, and
will be followed by results hardly surpassed, in
widely extending benefcence, by any thing hith-
erto known in the history Of nations.
II is hardly necessary for me to say, that JErFRR-
SON and MosRoE, MARSHALL and MADISON, all de-
sired and anticipated some great national move
ment for the establishment of our free people of
color voluntary emigrants, on the African coast;
and many of our State Legislatures have recorded
their opinions in favor Of this national policy.
The time for such a movement has arrived. The
Republic of Liberia stands acknowledged as an in
dependent state. From US she has derived the ele-
ments Of freedom, civilization, and religion; and
she now invites the descendants of Africa from
ry region of the world, to become sharers with her
in the great inheritance of happiness and renown
which, through Gods blessing, will be her sure and
enduring possession.
Those who may desire to see the growing repu-
tation of the Lberian Republic will find abund-
ant evidence in the papers just published by order
of the British Parliament, on the subject Of the
slave trade, large proportion of which are occu-
pied by facts and documents illustrating the cond-
ton, influence, commercial Importance, and phi
anthropc promise Of this newly risen African free
State. That the memorial to which have referred
is from gentlemen of the South, is, trust, favor
able omen for its success.

In obedience to the convictions Of my own judg-

apart from other considerations, your past services
in the noble cause of State rights we'll merited,
guided mainly by an ardent desire that the un-
happy controversy between the North and south
solved uninfuenced by any one, to seek the aid of
your great experience and intellectual power, in
the firm conviction that il would be periodically
and usefully exerted.
II was due to you and the responsible position
held frankly TO state that, after my first despatch
had been transmitted, more attentive examina
ton of the Federal Constitution created serious
doubt ON my mind and on that of several of my
friends, still on my part unremoved, whether you
could be considered ''an inhabitant" of the State
Your refusal in consequence of my opinion 10 oc-
cupy the post assigned you, is very high evidence
of your rigid adherence TO the dictates of high
sense of honor. In yielding an assent to the cor

of great respect,
