increased ability to act for and govern them
selves-to build up the institutions of education
and religion with these very elements of cul-
ture, and rudiinents of Christianity, they prove
themselves the best missionaries, the most ef.
ficient Of teachers, to the heathcn, by whom
they are surrounded. They are thus amid all
their pcrplexitics and discouragements, dis
charging high duty to themselves and their
race, and winning undying honors, as the BEN
ofactors Of Africa. They re.possesscd and
and have begun to rcgcnerate the land Of their
progenitors, to repair her broken and decaycd
fortunes, and rc-kindlcd her long extinguishcd
lights.
"Tho establishment and growth Of such n
community, on that dark continent, such a
model of a ration, is an order of things wholly
new to Africa, and gives promise Of future
greatness, on which the world may well look
with admiration !"
Such is tho character Of the colorcd popula-
ton who emigratc to Liberia, according to the
report. Mr.. Everett as our readers know, ably
vindcated the character Of the race on that
occasion. The Rev. Charles II. Reed. from
Virginia, who followed Mr.. Everett, could not
however refrain from utterng a sentiment Of
disparagement of this population among us, a
sentiment which more than any other, has dis.
tinctively characterized the colonization move.
ment from tho first. Tho Rev. gentleman
however very complaocntly sets aside all sup.
position of guilt on the part of any human
agency, and places the whole at tho door OF
Providence. He afIrms their infcriority, and
the consequent obligation of supervision and
control on the part of the more fortunate and
gifted race, and on this bases the duty and
propricty of Colonization.
This however may be said Of this report, as
whole, that no other of its thirty-fvc prede-
cessors, has even been as unobjectionablo as
this, in the ;wo particulars for which tho soc
city has been most severely censured by Abo-
litionists, viz: its ylifcation of the colored
people who choose TO remain in this country,
and the absurd and ridiculous idea that coloni.
cation is the only remedy for slavery, or indeed
that it is a remedy at ALL This report let's this
latter question utterly alone, while upon the

SALEM, ONO, MARCH @. 1853.
Executive COMMITTEE meets March 9th.
A Proposition,

We propose to all prepdying subscribers to the
Buglc, to furnish them with tho Weekly Dispatch
for one year, for nv cents in adooHce. Thus
subscribers to the Dugle will get two valuable
papers at the low price of 81 per annum. But,
mind, and send the money.
Our subscribers who are in arrears ran send
on their arrcnragc aud 81 in addition and get
the two papers. Those who recently paid in
advance can send on their half dollar aud We
will send the paper. Those whose yearly sub
scnption has partially expired, can send on the
balance for yenr with fifty cents added. And
lot us have lots of neto Subscribers.
The Dispatch will contain few advertisements
- and besides its valuable literary reading its
miscellany and its news, will be al 20 desirable
to many of our subscribers for its market reports
especially to those whose products go east, by
our rail road and also those in Western Penn
sylvanio. The sheet on which the Dispatch
will be printed is trihc smaller than the Bn-
gle, but the type Is also smaller. 1t is however
new and the impression will be fair.

The way 10 do il.

The citizens of Marlboro have for years been
determined that intoxicating liquors should not
be sold to accomplish their murdcrous work in
that village. Several times it has been brought in
among them for sale, but they have always sue
ccedcd in expelling it at once. Some days ago
barrel of whiskey was smugsled into their
village at night. As soon as it was as
sertaincd, men and women were called together
to take measures for its expulsion. After n
public meeting and two visitations of the tav.
ern keeper BY the women of the place. he
yielded to the determined public sentiment, and
promised not to get or sell any more and the
remnant Of his liquor was burned upon the
public square.
All honor g Marlboro. She expells or burns
her whiskcy, and can therefore afford vounta.
rily. to pay more for her schools than any other
village of her population in the State. And
this she does.
But Salem cant afford a Union School or n
temperance tavern. 1t would make our taxes
too high-would drive of capital or CUSTOM
And so day by day the drunkard reels through
our streets, our youth are poisoned, and lire's
bright hopes and happiness will lie blasted. =
To-day, in passing from the printing Office to
our dwelling, we encountered two unfortunate
victims of this state of things. On Sunday
evening last, another one disturbed a public
meeting
And yet fow months ago, large majority
OF our citizens pettioned the Town Council for
law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks
The ordinance was passed and published. The
people promised in their public assemblies to
stand by the law, and the officers in its execu.
tion. In spite Of this some six or seven rum
sellers have triumphed over all, and rule tho
town. They have successfully defied the ex-
pressed public sentiment of the inhabitants
Have defed the law and its officers. Not one
fine has been collected or one offender punish
cd. Though sales are publicly made in day
light to all who will buy. Convictions have
been had and fines imposed, but the offenders
have thus far managed to escape the payment
And now the Mayor and Marshall are held to
bail for damages TO the rumseller in their at.
tempts to execute the law. Rumselling is the
highest law here. A dsgraceful tale to tell of
our village. But truth and humanity demand
that it should be told.
Fellow citizens, can you calmly pursue your
business with this evil triumphing over and
spreading among your 1t would be otherwise
was there a firm determination on your part
against it. II we can't have Maine Law, let
the citizens Of Salem be law unto themselves

The Houston Telegraph admits that the
scheme is rapidly gaining odhercnts Itopposes
1t, urging that IL there should be a division of
the State, ms proposed, into Eastern and West.
ern Texas, there would be great danger of the
western section becoming a free State; which
the Telegraph thinks would much deprcciate
the value of slave property in Eastern Texas.
II is stated that the success attending the cul-
ture of sugar in Texas has been such that the
country between the Trinity and the Guada-
lupe rivers is rapidly filling up with planters ;
and, If the State remains united for some years
longer it will be pretty well pcopled with n
slaveholding population
The Ledger of San Antonia, uses the same
argument in opposition to the measure:
at has been urged that among tho popu-
lOton of seven thousand Mexicans within our
borders, and the immense tide of foreign emf
grant laborcrs now pouring into Western Tex
as, there is among us strong Free Soil ten
dOncy. Now. divide the State. is thero not
strong danger that the west would soon enact
q Free Soil contest similar to that which in the
former North slave-bordcr States has resulted
in the emancipation Of tho servle populations :
Agitatc this question of division of the State,
yo eastern gentlemen, and you may have n
powerful abolition State by your side, that will
cat away your most sacred and opulcnt inter-
csts.'
ave doubt whether there be any real ground
for such an objection. Texas will be divided,
and VIC expect to see an application submitted
to the next Congress for the admission of an
other slave State. Il may be difficult to induce
German immigrants to become Shareholders,
but they cannot be relied upon for active oppo-
sition to Slavery"

RspOr! Of The Am. Colonization Society.

We are indebted to Hon. J.. d. Campbell,
for copy Of the hiriy-u1th Annual Report of
tho American Colonization Society. Besides
tho proceedings Of the Directors, and Of tho
Society, it contains also the speeches of Hon
Edward Everett, and Rev, Charles II. Reed.
From the Report We learn, that tho receipts
of tho society the last year, have been,
$9S,273 20. The expenditures, SOl,573 SO.
OF this sum, $lS,22l 20, has been applied to
the transportation of cmigrants, the rem ainder
to various purposes of the society. There
have b? zen sent out during the year, seven ves-
sells with in all, COG cmigrants. One of these
went especially under the auspices of the Ma
ryland society. OF these emigrants, 4O3 were
free born-225 emancipated, and 3S had pur-
chased their freedom. AS usual, the great
majority of the transported were from the
slave holding states. The Report contains
some high encomiums upon the character and
conduct of the emigrants, and speaks cxuting-
ly of what they have already accomplished, as
we'll as of what they promise for the future
Tho report says:
1--WE may also remark that Liberia is not
only one of the most rapid, but she is also one
OF tho most Interesting germs of national
growth, which the world has ever seen. The
feeling which animates the great majority of
her citizens is worthy of all commendation.-
They possess courage, and self devotion
which have carried them through many trying
places, and still give promise of future i'm
provement. Dependency has no home in
their hearts. They have breasted, with noble
resolution the various obstacles which have
been thrown in their way. When their means
were small and their resources inadequate to
their emergencies, they have made personal
sacrifices, and performed additional service.
In the progress OF communities as of indi-
viduals, interest and bcnevolence, are closely
allied. Emphaticaly has this been illustrated
in tho personal history of the earlier and the
later emigrants to Liberia and in Liberia itself.
They have secured the highest benefits to them
selves; at the same time they are the pre-
eminent benefRctors of their race. They have
come into the possession of a substantial in
heritance they have como also as the ack-
nowledged harbingers of good to benighted
continent. They are making positive advance
ment in personal industry, intelligence and
wealth, and they are by the very same process
developing the agricultural and commercial re-
! ources Of the country. They are acquiring

"rhc persecution AMI imprisonment of tho
Madiai family, by the Grand Duke OF Tuscany,
for exercising the rights of conscience, have
aroused tho indignation of liberal men all over
the world. At this time of day, il is too bad
that any tyrant, great or small. should dare to
punish man tor reading the Bible, or wor-
shipping God according to the dictates Of his
own conscience. without interference with the
rights of his nciShbor. Such oppression justi-
tics intervention of most decided character.
"The United States. recognizing rs they do,
in their organic law. the rights Of conscience,
and faithfully securing the full enjoyment of
these rights to immigrants, sojourncrs or eiti-
zens, without distinction of Sect are bound TO
promote the cause of religious freedom through
out the world; and especially to secure for
Americans, in other countries, the freedom of
conscience guaranteed to citizens of those coun-
tries while s2journing or settling within our
borders"
Here is clear declaration of one of two
things, other that our three and onc-third mil
lions of slaves, are neither Immigrants, So
journers or citizens" or else they are protected
by the Constitution, in their rights of conscience,
their right to read (and of course to learn to
ready tho Bible and worship God according
to the dictates of their own conscience" Tho
Dr., for the time he was writing this paragraph
must have forgotten the existence Of Slavery
the positive laws against religious instruction
against letters-against the reading of the
Bible. He must have forgotten that the Amer
ican Bible Society, with all its princey wealth
and influence, dares not do otherwise than
publicly repudiate all intention of offering q
single Testament to any one slave in fifteen of
the states of our confcdersc y,-that eat this
very time of day there are of our own citi-
2ens, more than 100000 "tyrants, greet and
SMALL" who "dare'' under sanction of law .to
punish" their human brothers and sisters for
just such acts as those for which the Madiai
are suffering. We say the DIR. must for the
time have forgotten all this. or else he has aban-
doncd the doctrine. that Slavery belongs to tho
States and Congress has no right of interven-
ton, for their protection or emancipation. We
believe that " such oppression justifies interven-
iion of most decided character" whether il
exists in Tuscany or America, and zoe 90 for
that Intervention, especially at home. Pray.
Dr., will you tell US what constitutes the "sps-
cial" obligation to secure these liberties to
Americans in other countries 1t seems to US
our first obligation is to American citizens at
home, and this for three good reasons. LIST.
because our own citizens and our government
are tho oppressors. ID, because they are at our
own door. and when we will, we can do them
service. Sd, because their needs and their
wrongs call for aid moro loudly than any other
class of men on earth.

Division OF Texas.

The question of tho division of Texas, con.
tinucs to be agitatea in that State. The West =
crn part of that State is rapidly being settled
by Germans who do their own labor. Tho
ultra Shareholders oppose the division, assign
ing as reason, the fear that tho Western por-
ton would now become free State They
cx press the hope that as sugar planting is sue
coeding, and planters are also emigrating in
numbers, delay will enable them TO control
the whole country and bring it safely into the
Union, under slaveholdng auspices. Tho Era
thinks that tho application will doubtless be
made to the ncXt Congress for new Slave
State, carved out of Texas.
From tho National Era.
"Tho project of dividing Texas has been a
common topic oil discussion in the newspapers
OF that State for the last two years. 1t is be-
lioved by many that the interests of Eastern
and Western Texas cannot be provided for
eiieotually by one Government, and it ie alleged
that the representative power of the latter has
been used to the detrimcnt of the former. The
newspapers orei not agreed in relation to tho
proposed measure. Some advocate it, with
view to the advancement of certain local in
terests, and to the increase of the political
power of Slavery in tho Senate of the United
States ! and some oppose it, as thoy arc ambi-
tious that Texas should become the empire
State of the South. and as they Apprehend
that division of Texas now might lead to the
organization ultimately of free State in tho
West
The Columbia SO@h CaroRnian says that
the advocates of division are mostly in Eastern
Texas, where generally papers are enlisted for the
measure.
