BARNUM, YANKEEIsM, AND SPECULATIoN-A
late number of the London Ne,cs contains the
following notice of Mr. Barnum in an article on
Thackeray:
"The on dit now runs that no less parsonage
than the magnificent Barnum has offered the
novelist a good, very good round sum-the
amount is stated-to deliver these said lectures
in America, of course under his all-arranging
and all-bcputfing wing. Whatever Mr.. Barnum
succeeds in doing, there seems to be nothing that
he will not attempt to do. The man belongs to
a strange and significant class, the exclusive
growth and production Of the transatlantic
world. 1t is u parsonage more or less of the
Barnum stamp of mind who are clear for the
annexation of Cuba, the annexation Of Brazil
the annexation, in fact, of the whole continent,
from Behring Straits to Cape Horn 1t is men
of this stamp who plan railroads hundred
miles broad through the Rocky Mountains; and
it must have been a most original genius who,
on the outbreak Of the Mexican war, actually
this is fact-sent formal tender to Congress,

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.

CoLoRED COLONIZATION SocIETY.-The free
people of color Of Cambridge, Md, held an i'm
portant meeting on the Goth instant, at which
VIM. Banks was appointed President; Y. Bar
ney, vice president; and Stephen Camper and
Richard Bowley, secretaries. A committee, con-
sisting of Cyrus Sinclair benjamin Jenifer, and
Thomas Fuller, reported Glowing preamble
and resolutions, which adopted
Whereas, the laws of tAe State of Maryland,
as they now exist upon the statute books of
said State, do exclude the free people of color
from the rights and privileges of citizenship,
and as it is directly opposed to the letter and
spirit of the organic laws of this State that
they ever should and as we are thereby cut
off and excluded forever from the blessings and
benefits Of citizensip, in common with its white
citizens ......
Resolued, therefore, in view of the facts set
forth in the above preamble, that we believe it
would be to the advantage of the free people of
color to emigrate to the Republic of Liberia, in
Africa ...mt... ... ..
Resolced, That we believe lin view of the laws
of the United States and the respective States
thereof together with all the existing preju-
dices and circumstances brought to bear upon
us) that so long as we remain in any State or
Territory of the United States, we shall remain
an inferior and degraded people. -
Resolved, That we believe the time has come
when the free people of color should turn their
attention to their political and social condition
as it now is in the United States, and thence
to the subject of emigration to Liberia as their
only hope of salvation from their present de-
graded condition.
Resoiued, That we believe it is duty due to
ourselves and families to possess ourselves of
all the necessary knowledge or information in
relation to Liberia we possibly can, before emf
grating to said country.
Resolred, That we the better to acquire the
desired information in relation to Liberia, form
ourselves into a society as the best manner, in
our judgment, to adopt measures and devise
means to send to Liberia o committee of two,
namely, Benjamin Jenifer and Thomas Fuller, }
to examine the country, observe its laws and
institutions, and possess themselves of any and
all information their abilities will allow, return
and report, or deliver the same to this society
as their duty and results of their mission.
Resolred, That this society shall be known by
the name Of Cumbridge African Colonization So
ciety, of Dorchester county.

AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
TO The Editors Of The american Telegraph.

TO the Editors of The american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: Some one, writing from George
town over the signature Of ''Christian Charity"
prompted doubtless by the exuberance of that
virtue IN him, takes advantage of your declara-
ton to be independent in religion and poll
tics, to get an article in your columns Of Sat
urday last, in which he makes an ungenerous
fling at the members OF trustees Of the Prcsby-
terian church in that town, by simply stating,
as he says, :. facts" which s'tell their own
story, and need no comments" &C., SC.
Now, Messrs Editors, what does this "Chris-
tian Charity" design to accomplish by spreading
before the eyes Of the world matter which
would probably have never been heard Of out Of
Georgetown, had he not made it known through
your columns? Does he wish to hide fault
a popularity of true charity or, does he not
rather desire to expose the congregation or
trustees of the Presbyterian church to popular
censure? Such, l must confess, / think was
his charitable intent; for it is useless to waste
words in telling any intelligent person, (from
the very nature of the difference which exists
in the professions and practices of the Romish
church and the Presbyterian and other Protes-
tant denominations that for Protestants to do
homage to a Romish priest, bishop, or pope, is
absurd. ta& aA b S@. a4 .a..
Does not every one know that Protestants do
not consider the clergy of Rome her best men,
but, contrariwise, far from it? What right, then,
has any one to expect Protestant church to toll
it's bell at the departure Of a bishop? Suppose
theydid toll theirs for DR.. Balch, who asked them?
They well knew it would be more popular than
otherwise, land Rome seeks popularity to pay
respect to who was DID, if not the oldest cit
izen of Georgetown, whose name had been iden-
tilted with its history for many years; who had
married more, baptized more, and buried more
than any other in the place; and who held such
deservedly distinguished place in the affections
of the people, as to cause them to drape their
stores, and make other departures from their
universal custom Of burying ministers Of the
gospel. .aaat l..s.tac 9A4e ..a
Archbishop L. was but sojourner, and
younger by far than the venerable man who has
already been referred to, and had no such claims
as he had upon Protestant churches, if he had
upon the people. ". 3'a
More might be said ,chy the Presbyterian
church should not toll its bell !; but imagine it
would not have been the only one guilty of the
crime had there been bells upon either of the
Methodist churches there. METHODIST.

SPEECH OF YOUNG BULwER LYTToN.

At the New York st. George Society celebra-
ton, son of Bulwer the novelist, quite youth,
was present and made very good impromptu
speech. Wecopy the following report Of it from
the Herald:
Mr.. Blake alluded to the American Dramatic
Fund, and to the position of actors in this coun-
try, where no act of parliament deprived them
of the title of gentleman and concluded an
eloquent speech by proposing the health of Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton. [Great cheering and
applause.]
ing for him to return thanks, because there was
n "chip of the old block" present, (pointing to
Sir Edwards son. and he begged that they
would call on him to return thanks for the honor
done to man with whom my name shall always
be proudly associated" Vehement applause. !
Mr.. Lytton said-Mr. President and gentle
men of the st. Georges Society THE name
you have just toasted, in connexion with the
common literature and drama of our two coun-
tries, you have kindly mentioned as that of
great man, and one worthy of this honor. Tap
plause. Gentlemen, 1 very greatly regret that,
as great man, he should have so very small a
representative as myself. Laughter and ap
plause. But, for my own part, l can say with
sincerity, and without any affectation, that
wien WIS IlstcHlilB W Wuat you, siT, HhNe just
spoken, and when ] saw how cordially and
kindly those words were received by all of you,
gentlemen, think that, in my whole life,
never felt so proud and happy! Great ap-
plause. If were to speak to you for hours
could not say more than this; and know
that could only very poorly and inadequatcly
express to you what feel. [Applause.
And, gentlemen, after the great guns we have
all heard to-nght-Tlaughter, and whose thun-
der still vibrates in the air around and about
US, assure you that shall not now attempt to
impose upon you any paltry display of penny
fireworks. [Great applause and laughter. But,
sir, will say that it does seem to me great
thought to think that at the very moment when
that name, so Justly and naturally most dear to
me, and with which, | frankly confess, it is my
greatest pride to be in any way associated, has
hardly ceased to sound upon the lips of so many
of your ow-countrymen here tonight, the
bright names and burning words of the num-
berless stars of your great literary constellation
are, ifnot on the lips, at least deep in the hearts
Of numbers, thousands Of my ownl Loud and
long applause. Does not this thought sir, al
most annihiate the measureless distances of
the Atlantic? What to us is that ocean, spread
between our two homes! Can it really sepa
rate us, while its spaces are still spanned by the
glorious rainbow Of bright kindred sympathy
q sign Of peace, security Of good will to oil
Long and continued applause.
But, sir, know that it is not only the field
Of fiction which to our two countries is the
same; know that their mutual prosperity is
