Mr.. Greeley seems to feel that his state
of mind needs some remedy, although he
can only conceive of the barbarous one of
hoping the negroes may gradually, peace
fully draw off, and form a community by
themselves somewhere toward the equator,
or join their brethren in lineage in Africa
or the West Indies" Poor, dear man
We very much fear he must "die without
the sight" of such peaceful Withdrawal"
The far more eloquent voice and prophet
ic pen of Hnry Clay charmed them never
SO wisely" but they would not bulge
Henry Clay's words were sweetened even
by professions of like, land we believe he
did like the negroines,) instead of terms of
irrepressible hate; yet he could not sue
coed, and if he could not, who can2
We fear Mr.. Greeley must be content to
let the negro remain in America, at least
during his time. He had better, or, his
friends had better, set themselves to work
to conquer his prejudlces, at least so far as
to subserve the cause of good neighbor-
hood. Let them begin the cure by slow
and cautious steps, and they will ultimate
ly succeed. We negroes like clean blan-
kets; let them cause Horace to throw away
that dirty blanket of his, which was, when
we last saw it, some eight years ago, as FL
thy as the tub of Diogones. We negroes
like clean white shirts; let them order a
dozen from G. B. Hatch & Co. for Mr..
Greeley, and see that he does not wear one
longer than three days Let them get him
new black overcoat at Devlin's, and let
them take him every day down to St. Paul's
Church and have his boots well polished.
As he generally has "down look" proba-
bly, this may do more than all the rest to
accustom his eyes to the most beautiful
complexion with which the human being is
endowed
Having educated his eyes and sense 'oi
touch thus far, let them attack his diges.
ton. Even Greeley may be reached
through his stomach, far gone as that must
be by this time. Take him to nice West
Broadway cellar, and feed him on fat pork
and beans; tell him it is wood-cock; then
gradually elevate him to the cuisine OF
Downing, and lastly of Vandy ke, and if he
don't show signs of abatement of prejudice
why, he might as we'll be III the other
place already, for there is no hope for him
in this.

but how much more mightbe accomplished
to this end were it our defined policy and
constant business.
In a word then we would say that it must
be part of our well understood policy to
get good available real estate. Where
such is to be had and one cannot make the
purchase, let two join and effect it, and
sometimes whole company. Blocks on
Broadway and fifth avenue might this day
have been owned by colored men, obtained
in this way
Let enterprising colored men of small
means who are not disposed to purchase
city or town property, lay their means out
on good small farms, paying what they
can to properly secure them. But there
is,a class of men among us who have means,
who could not be persuaded to lay it out
in this way. Their monies are paying
them only five per cent, while it is paying
the holder, who is always of the dominant
class, seven, ten, fifteen, and often high
er per cent. Now, let this class make it
their business to lend to colored men on
good bond and mortgage, at seven per
cent, thus realizing higher rate thenthey
now get, and at the same time become NOM
inal holders of large portion of real es-
tate in the country. Let it become part
and parcel of our policy to give and hold
bonds and mortgages among ourselves.
By such means we shall gradually-w
may say rapidly-get a vast amount OF
real estate into our possession, and carry
with it vaster amout of real valuable in
fuence of the right sort--a kind worth
more to us than all the ephemeral, politi-
cal, and dreamy stuff that we can gather
up from now to the end of time.

INTELLIGENCE FROM LIBERIA.

country when he was summoned to "bet-

On Monday. the I'd of January, Stephen
Allen Benson, with imposing ceremonies,
was inaugurated President of the Republic
of Liberia, for term of two years. 1t is
needless to state that this is the third term
of his Presidential career, elected twice

address, says: eff, at this time, there be
any one thing in Liberia more than another
that rejoices and encourages my heart, it is
the rapid progress that my fellow citizens
have made in agricultural and industrial
pursuits. Their progress in that respect
is more than sufficient to compensate me
for whatever ordeal Imay have had to pass
through during the last four years of my
public life."

of which was that hitherto all that colOred
