LIBERIA.


In consequence of the uniformly favorable nature of all
the letters received from Lberian sete of the
mics of colonization have thought it advisable to have thu
dark side of the picture presented also. The following
from the North American of Philadelphia will be read
with interest but not with wonder:
Three letters Of considerable length, protesting to be
from black correspondent in Liberia have appeared the
New York Tribune eemng with all that be imagined in
the way of abuse and dctracton of everything in Liberia
These things probably would not be worthy of notice but for
the extensive circulation they obtain and the injury they do
to the cause by pudcing the northern blacks
against only home where they enjoy the rights OF

poor class of emgans upon their arrya and the letter s

This gentleman has borne kimsels

NEBRASKA OCCUPIED.


From a letter received by friend,
we learn that the Rev w. II. Goode
has been appointed by the Bishops and
Missionary Board Of the NJ. Z. Church
to take the oversight Of the Church in
Nebraska and Kansas. In our judg
ment this Is a most prudent selection
Mr.. Goode is one of the most prudent
men in the church. He is clear and
far-seeing in his views, cool and deter
mined in action. and in all things has
the bearing OF the irreproachable
Christian gentleman. We learn that
he starts very soon. He viii bear
with him the best wishes of thousands
in Indiana. Nay the blessing Of God
attend him.
The departure Of such men from the
state is serious loss. But they are
the right ones to mould the manners
of new state. We are glad also that
the church authorities have learned.
at last. that western men are the men tc
have the oversight OF frontier interests

cRAwrrsH PROGRESSION.

On the memorable 9th OF January
$40, the State Democratic Convention
in Indianapolis, passed the following
resolution, expressive Of their senti-
ments on the question Of slavery ex-
tension:
RESOLVED That the Institution of
Slavery ought not TO be introduced
into any territory where il does not
now exist. That, inakmuch as Cali
fornia aud New Mexico are IN fact and
in law free Territories, il is the duty of
Congress 10 prevent the introduction
Of Slavery within their limits"
At the Convention last week, they
passed resolutions endorsing the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise. which
did positively forbid "the introduction
Of slavery into territory where II does
not now exist" by authority Of law.
We urge upon the rank and file to
prepare to dance to this new tune du-
ring the approaching canvass. Your
masters. the Office seekers, and Office
holders. presided over by Hon. j. D.
Bright, who was receiving eight dol
lars day for his services wealthy
stakeholder, who came all the way
from Washington to see that it was
done light. and who receives construc.
tive mile age TO enable him to afford
extra travel for such purposes--such
masters tell you that for this year you
must toss up your caps in favor Of the
extension of slavery. Well may Ben.
ton say, "hard is the fate Of party
fealty," but hard as il is. you must
"grin and bear it." Don't refuse te
pull now or power and place may de-
part from your dear masters.

@We are glad our neighbor is
defining his position on the temperance
question. 1t is an important question
and his readers as well as ours want
TO have it discussed. In last weeks
issue he says:
Liquor drinking is rapidly on the
decline--in this county where there
was formerly about fifty distilleries
there are but two, and they are not
making much money. And this re-
duction in the use Of intoxicating liq-
uors is from the voluntary action Of the
people, for no law in either Maine or
Indiana has ever reformed depraved
appetite, or placed the intoxicating
draught beyond the reach of him who
liked to swallow it. The burning Of
herectics has always been luxury to
some of the orthodox. yet their burn
ing never cure herecy. When you
want TO catch flies hide the vinegar and
bring out the molasses.
We have nothing particular to object
to these views. All We have to say is
that the uniform testimony, so far as it
has come to our care is. that prohibito-
ny laws have put the intoxicating
draught beyond the reach Of some per-
sons. lift has motif is passing strange
why the vendors and makers of liquor,
are so opposed to prohibitory laws.
No doubt the allusion 10 the burning
of heretics viii do service. There is
a most striking analogy between the
burning of heretics and the suppression
of liquor shops. Very strikingl Poor,
prosecuted menl How cruel TO put
them to DEATH We hope that they
will die like good martyrs, If die they
must.
We second the motion about the
catching of flies. That is good idea.
But what about the spiders? Wicklow
ofnoihing as good for them as search,
seizure, eogfscosion and destruction.
They won't be "drawed on" BY mo-
lasses, bit more than whisky seller
can be induced toabandon his business
by kind words and gentle means.
