government, will be fully developed in the
Legislatures of every State where the sub
iect may be submitted by you. A Board
of five Commissioners in every State, in
Guiding the Governor, will enable the phi
lanthropists to sustain it with their aid,
which, with the appropriations by the Leg
islatures to establish agricultural districts
in Liberia, would be expended under the
direction of the board, and be carried out
by the government of that country. To
enable you to assume the position to con-
troll the destiny of your people, is the OBJ
iect / have endeavored to accomplish,
and you are called upon to take counsel
among yourselves, that you may be quail
fled to review the subject in national con-
vention and decide upon measures for the
formation of local organizations in the sew
eral States to carry it out. The plan to
form provisional council to enable me to
surrender to you the position I occupy,
was signed the 9Th of July, 1885, and
while the efforts to reach you were thrown
back by means which completely over
whelmed and deprived me of the merits of
my labor, yet the attitude assumed in the
outset of my mission to force my way to
the public, enabled me to maintain my po-
sition and conquer the obstacles which
stood in the way of my success.
Fellow-citizens, the cost of the plan of
redemption has fallen very heavily upon
me; but as it required the sacrifice to make
it memorable in your history in this coun-
try, it was made as duty to the cause of
emancipation. The way is prepared for
you, and every obstacle that could impede
your progress has been removed, and what
ever may be your disposition in reference
to your duty to your oppressed people, |
will remoin infexible in my efforts to sus-
tain their cause. The peace of the coun-
try and the emancipation of your people
demand something from you, and if you
follow the object of this appeal, you will
not fail to command the approval AID sup
port of the people of the United States.

From the Century
RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE.
The Last POnr DaysOf His Life

Twenty-seven years have passed since
we stood by the coffin of this remarkable
and eccentric man, and contemplated with
mixed feelings of sympathy and awe, his
yet speaking though lifeless form. His
features were strongly marked by the
traces of Indian contour, attesting the
verify of his descent from the famous prin-
cess Pocahontas Throngs of visitors
came to get last glimpse of them before
they were forever shut out from mortal
sight
The affidavit of DR. Joseph Parrish, of
which pressed copy has been furnished
us by a member of his family, embodies
the history of this extraordinary man, dur
ing the last four days of his life. 1t will
be read with more than common interest at
the present time, when new philosophy
concerning slavery is preached, and main
tanned by many prominent men in the
Church as well as in the State.
1t may not be considered out of place to
say of DR. Parrish, for the information of
those who are unacquainted with the posi-
ton and character which he sustained in
Philadelphia, that no man ever knew him
who did not respect and venerate him. He
was in the foremost ranks of the medical
profession for many years, and few physi-
clans enjoyed such wide and unreserved
confidence among all classes of people.
His conscientious truthfulness and high
moral integrity placed him above all preju-
dice or passion, and made his simple word
more respected than the most formal oaths.
As slight indication of the character
and temper of Dr. Parrish, we may relate
the following anecdote: He was one day
driving along narrow street, when he was
arrested by cart which was standing tail
to the curb, while the driver, an Irishman,
was deliberately loading II. AS the Doc
tor was in hurry, he requested the man
to turn his horses head little that he
might pass on. The answer was violent
blast against the aristocratS who ride round
with nothing to do, but to interrupt poor
men in their labor, and the advice, roughly
given, to turn his horse back and find
another street. ssa. -.
Every well, will do So" said the Doc
tor "My name is Parrish, and | am a
physician Ii thee, or any member of thy
family should be sick. send for me at No.
100 Arch street, and | will attend without
charge"
He drew his reins at the same time to
turn about, when the man sprung to his
horses head and wheeled him aside, cry
ing out, with an OATH
"Ho-if that's the sort of man we are,
come along thousand times. Ed. Cen

AN APPEAL
To the Free Colored People, ,rith Plan for the So
ittion Of the Question of Emigration.
BY LEWIS II. PUTNAM.

Fellow CITIzENs--Having proposed the
way to unfold the future with sufficient
correctness to enable you to choose the po-
sition favorable to the elevation of your
race, am called upon to make this appeal,
and at the same time lay down the land
marks to guide you in the duty it will i'm
pose upon you. 1t is now forty years
since the subject of emigration to Africa
was presented to the free colored people;
and while nearly ten thousand emigrants
have left their native land to seek an Asy-
lum in that country, the plan has failed to
be useful in the free States
The formation of anti-sIavery organiza-
tons as an offset to colonization, and the
result of thirty years labor, will enable yon
to form an opinion of the utility of the
means employed for your elevation in this
country. If you compare the position of
leading colored men of the day with their
efforts as co-labores with the anti-slavery
associations, you must arrive at the con-
clusion that they have failed to be useful,
and see the necessity for a general reform
alton of the plans by which the interests
of the colored people are represented in
this country.
In unfolding the plan devised by me for
the accomplishment of that object, you
will recognize the importance and the ne
eessity of the efforts, if you are DESTROYS of
occupying an elevated position in the fu-
ture. While your prejudices against emf
grafton to Africa have led you to consider
every attempt to promote it as hostile to
your interests in this country, yet your du
ty to posterity and the reputation of your
race demands some concessions from you.
As the great feature of past efforts was
violent agitation and Accommodations, without
any perceptible benefit to your cause, the
new programme you are called upon to fol-
low will lead you in an opposite direction.
The future will reveal to you the extent
of the concealed obstacles which stood in
the way, and the gigantic efforts required
to overcome them, and l only refer to
them at this time that my people may
know that have made no sacrifices ex-
cepting to comply with the demand that
was necessary to test the disposition of
your friends, with view to rely on them,
or establish new position to carry out
the plan for your elevation. 1t will be
seen that it is not only new plan for the
redemption and elevation of my race, but
it will place me in position where the
candor and honesty of my intentions will

UNION OF ZION.

Mr. EDToR:-I have been waiting for
an answer to the first proposition | made
for union of Zion, in which asserted
that 1T could be effected according to the
rules OF our ipline-frst, by calling in
a minister of our Zion. who shall read said
rules to the society or societies, and if they
comply with said rules they shall be de-
clared members in good standing in our
Connection; and secondly, by lay dele
gates to the General Conference Having
received no answer, offer the following
PLAN
Let the ministers and laity who are de-
sirous of union appoint committee of
six men on each side, said committee to
call in fifteen intelligent men from any
evangelical body of Christians, and let said
men be appointed as arbitrator, (Of
course they must be disinterested men
Then let each party lay their discipline
before such arbitrators, presenting their
claims at the same time, and whatever de-
cision the arbitrators make, let that decis-
ion be final. Let the party that the arbi-
traitors decide against throw down their
discipline, and go over to the favored par
ty, and let such decision be reported to the
General Conference. a
The above is my second proposition.
Dear brethren, which of these propositions
will you accept, or will you give us more
feasible one z 1t is immaterial to US which
party comes before the arbitrators first. If
you can offer a better platform, amen !
here is my heart and hand for union on
amicable terms; and / will say in behalf
of the brethren with whom | am connected
that they will agree to man for union

II WANT TO BE AN ANGEL"

A correspondent has sent us the follow
ing query:
"Will some one be kind enough to inform Us
who is the author of this beautiful and popular
childrens hymn, Where and when did it first
| APPEAR MS"
To this query we are permitted to give
the following reply: sia
AS far as we can understand, II want to
be an angel is "a voice from the spirit
land" One Sabbath, some ten years ago,
in one of the churches in this city, (Phila-
delphia,) young lady was teaching her
infant school about the "happy landp where
God and the angels DWELL and as her fan
cy, guided by the words of scripture, de-
scribed the blessedness and glory of those
who stand around the throne day and
night praising tie Lamb, many childish
face glowed with enthusiasm One little
dark-eyed girl, not more than five years of
age, was SO engrossed as unconsciously to
clasp her hands together, and looking visit
fully into her teachers face, exclaimed
aloud, "Oh ] want to be an angel" A
few days passed, and word came to the
teachers house that little L---- was very
i'll, and wanted to see her. An inhamma
tory disease had set in, and before the
teacher could reach her bedside God had
fulfilled her wish-she had gone ito be an
angel" The little hymn, taught the next
Sabbath in that same infant school, came
from heart deeply in sympathy with that
angel child; and the writer desires that
every little one who learns it may be able
SO entirely to appropriate it to itself as to
feel that the thoughts and words are its
own, untrammeled by any association with
the name of an adult author .s.
The authorship of this child,s hymn has
never been given to any person, paper, or
The weekly Anglo-African., 1860-04-14

umns of your excellent paper treating Of
the union, but none of the correspondents
have offered any platform 1 trust they
will offer one soon.
We should remember, dear brethren
that the eyes of the world are gazing at
us, the church militant is beholding us,
and, above all, God sees us and knows the
intents and purposes of our hearts. We
must not expect to be blessed in our min
lstry as long as we are disunited. God
rorbid that we should be opponents longer.
1t Is time that we had become united, for
I'm union there is strength" If we do not
intend to unite, let us stop writing upon
the subject, and say no more about it. If
we wish to become one again, let us adopt
some method to affect the desired object
ut is good" saith holy writ, "for breth-
rem to dwell together in unity"
Let lions watchmen all awake,
And take the alarm they give;
Now let them from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive
Ills not cause of small import
The pastors care demands
But what might fret an angels heart
And filed Savior's hands"
