THE NEXT CONGRESS, il is hoped, win adopt
measures to establish a line Of steam vessels to
Liberia. The Importance Of the project TO the
South, in connexion with slavery, is thus stated
by the Richmond Republican:
The various non-slaveholding States are,
one after another, closing their doors against
the free blacks! What is to become Of them
Where are they to got Happily, in the case
Of African colonization, the dictates of humanity
and of interest combine, and both point to the
coast of Africa To strengthen Liberia is the
surest way to open to the commerce of
Africa. Let us enable her to open roads into
the interior as far rs practicable. 1t is believed
that, by n prudent and energetic effort, the
whale trade Of the river Niger and the valley Of
Timbuctoo would be thrown, through Liberia,
into the hands Of American merchants"

he can hang himself upon whichever horn of
the dilemma he pleases In either case his
position will be sufficiently awkward to himself
His statements will certainly have but little
weight with those who know how destitute of
accuracy and truth they are He evidently
knows nothing about Methodist ministers and
the Methodist church, or he is by no means
scrupulous as to the light in which he presents
them. He first tells us there are some forty
Methodist preachers in office in Washington,
though he seems now to be convinced, and yir-.
tually (but not ingenuously) admits my state
ment, that there are but twelve or fourteen.
And as an escape from this blunder, he now
argues that there ought not to be any here,
because they are SO amply provided forLby the
church itself Perhaps ,'fCommentator' could
subsist himself and family on dividend Of
ten per cent. on a claim of two hundred or bco
hundred and Gtty dollars. He might, however,
find it rather difficult. #9
But why, Messrs. Editors, does q Commenta-
tor find so much fault with these Methodist
preachers? Is it because he thinks if they were
to retire, and live upon some twenty or thirty
dollars n year, there might be room for him
somewhere in the public service? Perhaps,
however, his magnanimity would not suffer
him, even in case of necessity, to take such q
position. saf .a .sq htai gaHE

business, and cease writing for the public until
he has informed himself, and can write more in
accordance with truth and propriety. q His

the Methodists. But when they need his SER
vices to calumniate their ministers he will
doubtless receive the first call.

They cultivate the blackberry in the neigh
borhood Of Boston. An old pasture is broken
up, the sprouts are planted in rows in October,
and kept clear of weeds, and otherwise treated
like raspberries. The 1gricutttrist says that
the fruit thus produced is Of size and flavor
which surprises those who are only acquainted
with the wild blackberry. Our readers may not
all be aware that the American species has
more agreeable flavor than the European. There
are also different varieties of the American fruit
even in its wild state, from which selection
might be made.

ae THE WAsHlSaToN INTELLIGENcER AND THE

gencer has long and bitter article against sym
pathy for the Cuban reyolutonists and says
that the pretended declaration of independence,
&c., it is too plain, is no act Of the people Of
Cuba, but of those individuals who have, in diff
ferent cities of this country, opened recruiting
rendezvous raised and lent money, displayed
strange flags, and marshalled professions, for
the purpose of seducing aud deluding innocent
youths and reckless desperadoes from allegiance

the declaration bears Enthusiastically the New
York and New Orleans stamp.
| This may all be true enough, and Of course
the proper means should be taken to preserve
inviolate the neutrality Of our Government;

however earnest the Cubans are in endeayoring
