From thc Bosfon Post, May ..
LIBERIA AND THE SLAVE TRADE,

We have glanced at the progress OF
Liberia to the present aspicious result of an
independent African repuLlic-a Christian
nationality OH the borders of African bar
barism !; we have also glanced at the new
evidences Of the degradation of Interior
Africa, at the great field open for ctluca-
tional effort, and the new mode of work
ing i'll this field by African agency; and
now propose 4 brief skctcl, OF the relations
Of Liberia to The African slave trade
What has been the ctfcc: of Liberia in the
worst traffic that ever disgraced human
itv?
Te look at this matter fully, it may be
well to recall a few facts relative to the
efforts to suppress the slave trade.
The earliest denunciations of the Afri-
can slave trade proceeded from PcnnsyIva-
mia, and long before Clarkson commenced
his labols i'll England, crowd of ll,ilan-
thropists had labored in Amcrca in the
same field. The United States, in a law of
congress Of 1901 made the foreign slave
trade criminal offence !; in 1907 laws
were passed prohibiting the importation of
slaves into the country after Jan. !, 1908.
In this action the United States preceded
all nations in striking against this infamous
traffic. Still the slave trade continued to
represented. In 1918, Congress increased
tue penalties of 4 former law; in 1910 il
pissed an act Furnishing the offence of i'm
porting African slaves with death; and in
1920 it declared the general traffic to be
piracy.
Notwithstanding this action of the Uni
ted States, and the corresponding action o
other countries, tile trade continued to in.
crease after the peace of 1915. In 1922
Mr.. Canning stated, in an official note, tia,
during seven months Of 1921, $4,000 Ahi
cans had been sold into slavery; that from
July, 1920, to Oct, 1921, 332 vessels, eacl
OF which could carry 500 or 900 slaves
had entered the rivers of Africa to buy
slaves, and that there was traffic Of 200,
900 annually. "}" ta~.a
!; Twenty years later, (ls4o) Sir T. F
I Buxton made his appalling expose of thu
slave trade. At that time the lowest esti
! mate ;lies madesof the slaves carried int,
the Spanish and Portugese colonies wa
10000 annually. A few years earlie,
! 1880, a traveller. Mr.. Golacleugb, .state'

POE TR Y o
A LOVELY WOMANs KISS.
By AN ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNG MAN.

I've banqucted OH luxuries
Produced in every cline,
I've feastcd on rich turtle soup.
And supped on oysters prime;
But nothing so delicious is
Within u world like this,
AS soft csrcsscs seasoned by
lovely womans kiss.
I've gloatcd DER the festive board,
And drank rich draughts Of vino
I've listened at the opera
To melody divine;
But oh! I've never, never met
Such sweet excess of bliss,
AS thrills the soul when lips receive
A lovely woman's kiss.
In glitt'ring halls of splcndor rare.
I've passed the midnight hours
In gardens beautiful and fair
I've wandered mid the flowers;
But there's dearer joy than these
A JOY would not miss
\ heavenly rapture which is found
In lovely woman's kiss.
1nmy last hour, when death draws near.
In darkness and in gloom,
May womans smile my pathway cheer,
And light me to the tomb;
And when my soul shall take its flight,
tn nj bnr wnrI,1, fJ,.,,
May it be- waited 10 the skies
BY lovely woman's kiss.

kind. What the mechanic wants is help
from educated men, to enable him to learn,
and inspire him with zeal for learning
the laws that govern tho materials lie uses
! and the tools he crnploys-pointing out the
modes by which his labor may 10 abbrevia-
ted and economical. Instruct him, too,
upon the moral principles that should gov
ern the world in general and his own
sphere of it in particular This would be a
great charity. But to imbue him with the
vague and barren abstraction of Mr.. Emcr-
son is no charity at all. 1t is positive un-
klndncss-not quite rs bad as the Rev. Mr..
Parkcrs philosophy of Assassinalion-bu
perniciots enough to bo condemned and
denounced.
Practical subjects, however, applicable to
every day life and labor, are precisely what
many of these lecturers shun. There is
nothing in such subjects to thrill, astonish
or stupcfy. TO effect this, some startling
paradox. some novel and bcwildering theo-
ry i'll ethics or theology, is necessary, which
shall leave the crcdulous listener utterly
confouuded, and with no idea firmly fixed
i'll his mind except that he is very small
man and the listener a very big one.
But VIC have wandered very far from
Mayor Wood. What he is lccturing about
we have not been advised. But VIC know
very well that lccturing is no part of his
official busincss-is quite astray from it.
There arc Il thousand good for nothing pco-
pie in New York that can beat him all to
pieces at that business; probably there is
not one who cam approach him as cxccu
tive chief magistrate. His time, therefore,
expended as Il pcriarolctic lecturer is thrown
away, and lie himself inevitably belttlcd.
Is he tired, care-worn by his arluous !u-
ties? Then let him rest and go to work
again. This is the true plan for keeping
his laurcls fresh. Let the public once come
to think he is tutt-lun,i"g-ti>hing for no
toricty and dreaming of the Presidency.
and there is IN end of the solid fabric of
reputation he has SO faithfully built up.
We had regarded the Mayor Of New York
rs one of the few men Of Roman virtue and
simplicity i'll the country-a true hero in
other words, IN honest man WHO, uncon-
scious OF. his own worth, goes straig ght for
ward 10 discharge the dut:c, which the cir
cuin>tanccs of his situation impose. This
Iecturing expedition is all unt;.vorabic in'ii-
cation. Indeed slccch-making Of any kind
i'll these days, unless brief and necessary.
savors of sham. But perhaps Mayor
Wood is :eacl;ing the people OF Richmond
the art of municipal government. If so,
we take back every word of our structures,
apd iuvitc linn to visit this devoted city of
ours, more dcplorablv in want of an in.
strnrtor III this art, than any ancient or
modern we wot of.

Be Gentlemen at Home.-There are few
families we imagine, anywhere, in which
love is not abused rs furnishing license
for impoliteness. A husband, father, or
brother, will speak harsh words to those
he loves best, simply because the security
of love and family pride keeps him from
getting his head broken. It is shame
that man will speak more impolitely at
times, to his wife or sister than he would
to any other female, except low and Vi
cious one. 1t is thus that the honest affec-
tons Of mans nature prove to be a
weaker protection to woman in the family
circle, than the restraints of society, and
that woman is usually indebted for the
kindest politeness of life, to those not be-
longing to her own household. Things
ought not SO to be. The man who, because
it will not be resented, inficts his spleen
and bad temper upon those Of his hearth
stone is a small coward and a very mean
man. Kind words are circulating mediums
between true gentlemen and ladies at
home, and no polish exhibited in society
can atone for the harsh language and dis
respectful treatment too often indulged in
between those bound together by Gods
own ties of blood, and the still more sacred
bounds Of copjugal love.

the celebrated Andrew Urs, NJ. D. +. r. s.,
Professor of Chernisty, (London)-"
plan of separating masses of vegetable
matter by means of tubular arrangement.
is ut onco philosophical and effective, mas.
much as it annuls the centre, thus affording
ventilation and means Of escape for the
moisture inherent in all vegetable substan-
ces, the presence of which in a confined
state soon generates heat in tho centre of
tho mass, the result Of which is sour flour,
rnusty meal, and damaged grain in large
bulks." Now, Mr.. Editor, owe YOU and
your numerous readers an apology for oc-
cupying SO much space in your columns,
but if you will indulge me with little
more will endeavor to be brief, and con-
fine my remarks to facts Immediately con-
nected with the subject and object had
in view when commenced this communi-
cation. Permit me to say then, that I have
Indian meal in this city two years old
having been manufactured and packed in
the tubular barrel in May, 1854. 1t has
crossed the Atlantic four times. Tho
quality of the meal has materially improved
by age. l have barrel of meal in Paris,
(France,) it was put up in May, 1854, and
shipped to France in February, 1855.
In September, '55, the French Govern
ment caused a commission to be constitu-
ted to examine minutcly the meal as we'll
as the barrel containing it; that commits
sion reported to the minister of the navy
department Of the empire, recommending
the purchase Of the patent by the govern
ment.
In July, 1854, the Hon. II. T. Thustin,
of Louisville, kentucky, caused some In
dian moal to be ground and packed in the
"tubular barrels y it was shipped to New
Orleans the 1st. of August, and arrived in
this city in January, 1855. On opening,
it was found perfectly sweet and unusually
dry. 1t was, together with the contents
Of another barrel of nothern meal. distri-
buted in small packages in this city among
a portion Of the press, shippers and mer-
chants.
In September, 1854, barrel of meal
was shipped to Buenos Ayres, South
America; it returned in May, 1856, in a
sound condition, and, like the meal from
Louisville, Kentucky, via New Orleans,
was even dryer than the meal l had stored
in this city.
In June, '55, I shipped fifty barrels Of
meal to London and Liverpool. Some of
that meal was sent to Ireland, and was SO
highly appreciated that received an order,
in October last, from the party who made
the purchase, for two barrels of white meal,
put up in the same manner.
The meal was shipped by Grinnell, Min
turn & Co.; but the meal was destroyed
in the harbor of Liverpool-the ship hav-
ing been burned the day after its arrival.
The above arc the more outlines of the
tests which have been made; that they have
been completely successful ample proof is
at hand. 1t only remains to be seen
whether tile old or new mode of packing
flour and meal is to prevail. In the com.
mon barrel not one half the -four manu-
factured in the United States will remain
sweet more than six months. Tho same
flour put up in the tubular barrel, if sound
when packed, will remain sweet and whole
some for three or four wears.

Connecticut Election.

Happy is tho result of the three elections of
the campaign. Returns have been received from
all the towns, and give the Republicans 127
members in the House, with l04 Administra-
ton. Senate, IL Republicans to 9 Administers
ton Republican majority, on joint ballot, 26.
There is no election of Governor by the people,
but the above shows that an anti Administers
ton Governor will be elected without delay
Also, that an anti Administration Senator will
be elected in place of Mr.. Toucy, the present
Administration incumbent.
After all, the thirty thousand dollars sent by
the Administration and the swarms of foreign
ers, who were naturalized for the occasion, the
victory is against them. The New Haven
Courier says
Every man who came from the polls yester
day, was astonished at the immense number oil
foreigners who had been raked together to vote
the Pierce ticket They came in swarm after
swarm, received their instructions fir IN the Gus
tom House officers or their own leaders, and
voted the straight Pierce ticket. They make
up almost entirely the Administration party
here, and nearly control our city politics by
themselves. To battle against such voters is
a duty, the full Importance of which is not yet
appreciated by our citizens. Unless we can de
feat them, we are at the mercy of the worst po
litical faction that ever existed in Republican
country"
The Hartford Courant says:
" The great success Of the Democratic ticket
Cor Demi. johnic ticket, as friend OF ours call
it, has been owing to the large foreign vote o
the State, connected with the liquor interest,"
In the city of Hartford, 100 foreign votes sub
tracted from l767 tells the strength of tn
native Democracy of the town."
