In May, 1850, seventeen persons sailed for Afri-
ca from the State of Indiana to settle in Liberia
At the head of this expedition stood the Rev W.
W. Findlay, coored preacher OF the Methodist
Church. Before leaving, Mr. Findlay pledged
himself to the colonization agent for this State
that if the scheme of Mr.. McNIicken for the pur-
chase OF territory, should succeed, he would stand
prepared to aid in executing the task of commence
ing the settlement of /" Ohio in Africa.v That pur-
chase has been made, Mr.. McMcken has paid over
the s. 5000 witch he pledged, and the lands are
ready for emigrants.
Mr.. Christy, within few days, has received
letters from Mr.. Finday, in which he recommends
Grand Capo Mount the cite of the new settle
ment, and urges the co operation Of Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, in the scheme. NJ III. Smith, esq., for
mcrly Of Illinois, but nine years in Liberia, and a
member of the Legislature, unies in recommend
ing Grand Cape Mount the future Ohio.
Mr.. Findlay states that he has ost none of his
family, eight in all that his health is tolerably
good, and says;
90 do thank God | would not leave this for any
country that ever have seen; for here have my
liberty. have been in Canada, and fourteen
States of the Union, but Liberia like better than
any"
The enemies of colonization had reported Mr..
Findlay and nearly all bis company dead and this
fase report has done much in Indiana to discourage
those who were DESTROYS OF cmigraiing to Liberia
