The Republic Of Liberia gives proof Of the
capacity of American black men 10 do just such
work. Only forty years ago, the six hundred
niles ot sea coast, now known a. Liberia, was
he slavs coast. From this territory vast mum.
,ers Of negro slaves were formerly taken and
hipped across the ocean. The influence Of this
l"public Is now felt-from hfty 10 three hun.
lred and fifty miles interior, controlling nigh q
nlf million natives, who, 10 place Of making
var upon each other for the purpose Of ruppiy.
ng slaves for slave traders, are the producers
If some $4,000. 900 Of commodities for larful
orcign trade. This trsde amounted 10 some
80, 900 gallons palm oil, and email quantity
,f camwood, In lsi7. Ia 1861, the export ti
his palm oil alone, was 2.2OS, 1000 gallons
worth, iu Europe and the United States, seventy
cents per gallon, or sl.5i5,OOO. Ivory, cam.
wood and other articles Of Libsrian trade, will
put this amount 10 81 50O, 900.
The English, in 1860. had trade In palul
oil. which. Rud from statistics just put In my
hand, amounted to 37S. .92O Ions, which, at CAS-
per ton, equals in value Eli ,O5l 400. or, vslu
ug a pourd sterling at s., equals Ss5,25 900
But tbis article of palm oil constitutes only on.
Nird Of the British West African trade, which
would make the e,lire British trade 10 West
africa equal to s255,77i 600. The Dutch and
French have also large trade In West Africa
This whole trade Is now carried on irregularly
That Is, 10 Afric,, by uncivilized natives; but Il
properly managed, must eventually fall into
the hands Of America Liberian merchants and
hence become organized, systematic, normal
In its processes, and civilized.
Iu conclusion, l may remark that Liberia |,
capable Of receiving any number Of emigrauts
who may 4 ,ck to her shores. Stretching, coast
wise, nigh 700 miles, from Sherbro river t.
Cape Lahou, and extending, iuieriorwards
from 80 to $50 miles, almost to the banks oI
the Niger, she stands ready 10 receive even 9
score OF millions OF black men, anxious fol
in the land OF their fathers, and
for noble duty. And that the long-cxilsd SOM
of Africa ,oiu return 10 the homes of thsI,
fathers, Is already evidenced In the anxious do
aires Of the black people Of Barbados, wliC
are already seeking homes 10 Liberis; In the
black merchants, civilians. aud emigrants whe
