Dear ~ see in yonr paper this morning
an application in behalf of the poor of this city
"a call to which every true hearted man and
woman cannot fail to respond Permit me- as l
know you viii, to,suggest how that call may be
cheeriully attended to- II is Simply by the rich
man paying his bills-due honestly on the first
day OF January, 1856 do not include all rich
men as not paying. There are, however, MANI
viii call in few days" or, 81 will attend to
1t IN few days" when they could, at once, have
written out checks for ten times the amount
seems like miserable putting off Of things -
Nov, what do these men accomplish BY so mt
ting off these claims First, sce cannot pay our
help, al poor men, eating to pay their grocers'
bills, rent bills. and boarding bins. &e, &c
Now all this tends to sour peoples temper, and
make them careless of their less favored brethren
and sisters wants. II is an uniuStifiable wrong
and ought, at once to be remelied, and thus to
enable every man to contribute his mite towards
the suffering poor On Monday, started 10 col
leet some $4,000, and collected up to Friday about
So00. These demands, too, were against men
well able to pay. l should like to mention one
exception, but delicacy foil bids the name. en-
tered the counting room, he greeted me with a
Happy New-Year in the most hearty ard good
natured manner, was glad to have his bill, paid it
without mprmur, and spoke of having more
work done. Can ever forget such man? New
err Had he presented me with a $50 gift,
should have slavishly admired him, for while.
and then setl led down into gradual dislike of
one to whom thought myself uder obligations
Such was not the case. He paid me my due--he
paid his bill. l shall ever love and respect him
for his cheerful manner and prompt payment.
would to God all others, and many of them, too,
far better able than he, would go and do like
wise. hope some OF those, who will possibly
figure in their contributions for the poor in the
various churches, will step up ard pay us, some
time between~this day and Sunday. i think, sir,
shall hardly need ask you to insert this as it is
matter beaiingsas much on you, personally, and
many Others, as well as on MYSELF in particular.
Very respectfully, JUSTICE
Worcester, Jan. 10, 1856.

made an address on the subject of his pro-
posed expedition to the interior of Africa, as
the agent of the Colonization Society. His
plan is not 10 seek the far distant regions of
which we have spoken, but to penetrate the
more accessible parts from Monroyia in Iibe
ria, for distance of some 500 miles He is
OF opinion that it is only near the coast, where
the land is low and Eampy, that the coun-
try is so unhealthy. and thst inland it is re-
markably sai9brious Should he realize his
expectations, his plan is to establish colony
IN the interior. which will offer more induce
ments to emigFants from the United States
than Liberia. We have successfully entered
the field with England and France in orr
voyages of exploration in the Pacific. In
Arctic discoveries, though the latest. we are
not the least, the discoveries of De Haven
and DR.. Kane being equal to those of any
other expedition, the first Of Parry alone ex-
cepted. The explorations in the interior of
North America, the most complete ever made
IN any part of the globe, are entirely ours,
while in South America the exploration of
the Amazon by Herudon with the labors of
Lieutenant Gillies in Chill, are among the
most important in those regions. Thus we
are probing all the out OF the way places. and
are now about to push our way into Africa
We hope that such encouragement will be
given to this contemplated expedition, as will
enable it to accomplish as much as its prede-
cessors.- Precedence Journal.
