Colonization.

The Washington Republic argues in favor
of the adoption, by the Chicago Convention,
Of the principle or plan of colonizlng free
blacks in Central America, or other tropical
regions of this continent. The Republics
proposition we would amend by saying Ayf-
ricdn instead of American colonization.
The Colonization movement, we think,
has been shamefully neglected, especially by
professed anti-slavery men. If they had
been as eager to help on this movement
that of African colonization--as they have
to NEEDLE with slavery where it does not
concern them, that cause would have been
far more flourishing than it now is, and the
negro would be better situated than now.
We regard it as solemn duty we owe
to negroes to restore them to the land from
which their ancestors were violently torn.
So Far as we are individually concerned
we would cheerfully submit to direct tax J,
If thought necessary, for the purpose of
carrying on this humane scheme.
Ifthe Chicago Convention will adopt a reso-
luton, pledging themselves to favor African
colonization, the cause there represented will
be vastly strengthened.
The Opposition party, if it gain power,
should inaugurate policy providing for a
fund ont of the surplus public lands, to be
used in this work, and employing our ma
tiOnal vessels, when not otherwise. engaged
in carrying to Liberia free blacks. We
believe such course Of policy would be
sustained by the people. The commerce
which would grow up with Africa would
in the course of time amply remunerate us
for any expense we might incur.
This subject of Colonization is destined to
attract more attention than it ever has en-
joyed. 1t is pretty generally agreed that
whites and blacks ought to live apart and
the time will come when they must be
separated-the further apart the better.

ADIIen,nnn.

Several days ago. the State Sentinel
speaking -four papers Acknowledgements OF
indebtedness to it and the Enquirer here, for
vindicating the conservatism of the Opposi-
ton platform and candidates-remarked
"If it is content with such consolation, we
can only say it is very easily satisfied.
That paper then goes on to insist that the
Republicans have backed down to a conser-
vative position and to draw therefrom some
praise of its party, etc.
The course of the Sentinel and Enquirer
in this matter, Is really funny. The editor
of the Sentinel formerly Buffalo platform
abolitionist, who desired to spread the flag
of universal freedom over the whole earth,
aud now bred Scott Democracy came out,
in order to disgust the ultra men in the
north, west, and centre of the State with the
platform, and pronouncedi it backing down
from the former position of Republicanism.
The Inquirer folks, thinking they had a
telling thing on us, took the same line Of
argument as the Senaners, and expatiated
on it with gusto. We acknowledged the
soft impeachment; it was just what we de-
sired, and our thanks were returned to the
two papers for their kindness
Thereupon, the Enquirer saw it had made
& blunder, and Immediately took another
tack, and thought, on the whole, the plat
form was not so conservative after ALL The
Sentinel found that it had lost about as much
in Southern as it had gained in Northern
Indiana, and was mum thenceforth.
Our neighbors on Third street are now
obliged to take one of two Positions,
That Mt first they blindly followed the lead
of the Sentinel for the purpose of pettifog-
ging in regard to the Opposition platform:
2, That when they now state that said
platform is radical, they directly contradict
that which they said less than month ago.
Which horn of the dilemma do they ac-
cept2 Let them suit themselves The as
sumption of either will establish the fact,
that fairness is not to be expected from
them in political controversies.

From LIBERIA.-We have the Monrovi;i
Herald to the 4th of January inclusive, per
bark Mendi. The latest paper contains, the
proclamation of President Benson, with the
treaty between the Republic of Liberia and
the kingdom of Belgium-the inaugural al :
dress of President Benson, which was de-
livered on the I'd of January II is an adj
mirable document The Herald thus speaks
of the address: -4-f .ss-.t.
On Monday, the I'd of January, Stephen
Allen Benson, with imposing ceremonies,
was inaugurated President of the Republic
of Liberia for a term of two years. 1t is
needless to state that this is the third term of
his presidential career, elected twice with
out an opponent a thing rarely to be seen
in our world. Never was there witnessed
in Liberia demonstration of more apparent
good feeling, and common interest, aud
brotherly consideration, than was presented
on Monday Daniel r. Warner, fthe name
itself supersedes the necessity of encomiums)
was inaugurated Vice President of the re-
public. 4
Both of these men, reared in Liberia,
commencing their manly career with her
infancy, and Strengthening with her growth,
have acquired that experience that is neces-
sary TO manage the arduous duties OF state.
The same paper, in abiding TO the condi-
ton and prospects of the republic, says:
Who then can say that Liberia will not
succeed. Where is the man with soul So
base who can say that the success of Libe-
ria is +" a problem yet to be solved. ~. y.

any other men. Wealth is open to you as
it is to other men. The wealthiest men in
this city were much poorer than any of those

humble individual standing before you.

Winter.


From his den in the darkcncd North he comes,
With a thousand shndowy forms,
To feter the sea with blast of his breath
To take kings share in the harvest of DEATH
And rcvel i'll witlering stormS
OH grim old tyrant, and gray is lie,
With the ashes of year upon year;
His garb is hurricane wrapping him round.
And tue sun is the jewel with which it is bound,
Till clouds to unrobe him appear.
He laughs Mt the long armed ghosts of the wood
That watch DER the graves of the how'rs;
And he mocliingly decks them with crystals OF
light,
And wraps their stiff limbs in garment Of white
Brought out by the sands Of his hours.
He brcNthcs on the river and bids it lie
unncrvcd in n living death;
He vcileth the sun in a storm bearing cloud,
lie covers tho earth with an ice. threaded shroud
And fastcns it OH with breath.
The old year dies in his deadly grip,
And aside from the present is cast;
But a New Year springs from its icy grave,
And strong in its youth the foe to brave,
Shall live when the Winter is past.
