Wendell Phillips, like the orators of
Lapttta, described by Gulliver, who,
in the place of words, carry with them
discourses made up of things-in one
of bis late harangues before the elect
of Boston, brought upon the platform
a young saddle-colored female, whom
he introduced as "the type Of the fu>
ture American woman" The hub-ites,
1t is said, were vastly delighted With
this new NOTION of their favorite saint,
greeted the "type" and the promised
antitype with nuttitudious applause,
and did so crowd and hustle to kiss
and caress the former, that there was
scarcely spot on her whole body
which escaped their salutations.
a recent legal examination before
an United States Commissioner in
New York, report of which is cons
tanned in a late number of the Times,
evolved glimps of the biography of
a colored clergyman, formerly of
Charleston, S. c., whose extraordina-
ry powers and fervent piety have given
him reputation, which some Of his
white brethren might envy. Leaving
a wife and several children at Charles
ton, he came on to Baltimore, where
he took to himself second spouse
Departing thence for New York, he
married third, and within brief
period a fourth; all of whom at the call
of duty, he abandoned; going out a
missionary to Liberia, where he is now
supposed to be- sewing, somewhat at
broad cast, she seed of the Gospel
and his own.
A page in late number of the New
York Tribune is devoted to history
of the circumstances and results of
one of those brilliant efforts at eleva>
ting and ameliorating the eolored race
undertaken under the patronage of
the Administrations for which our
age and country afe about to be SO
gloriously distinguished. The Tribune
heads the report: ''Return of the Hay
tian Colonists, Terrible suffering and
loss of life from Exposure, Depriva-
ton and Disease; The African Slave
Trade Revived in America Five
hundged and fitty-six "contrabands,"
as they are called, were shipped from
Alexandria and Fortress Monroe, to
the island of A'Vache, one of the
Haytian group, under contract be-
tween the Government and Messrs.
Forbe, and Tuckerman, of New York
Upon paper the promises are ex-
ceedingly fair, and full OF humanity
and philanthropy. The contrabands
were taken to an uninhabited, uncul-
tivated and houseless island, upon
which they were cast, and where, with~
out clothes or shelter, or attendance in
sickness, with insufficient and un-
wholesome food; and under negro dri-
vers, they were compelled to work at
clearing land, until, by starvation, ex,
posure, hardship, abuse, and disease,
their numbers were, in about FIVE
months, reduced to four hundred and
seven. At the end of that time, the
Colonial enterprise" fell through, and
the contrabands were abandoned, cleft
to shift for themselves ON an, inhgs-
pitable island, where they would un-
doubtedly have all perished in time, ii
it had not been for the interposition Of
the American Consul on the main

back at the public expense. ..'.
The pictures given by the Tribune
Of the suferings and condition of the
victims of our philanthropy, it is moi
necessary to reproduce. They con,
tain full inventory of all the ills
that humanity can be brought to suffer
and all these to the most ghostly de.
gree. And now comes the ingratitude,
which We give in the words Of the Tri.
buhe: "With unanimousan emphatic
exclaim, they say they would rather be
returned to the hardest of American
masters, than to be sent back under
any auspices to the Haytian Island
In spite Of this, however, II is easy
to be seen that the philahthropic mind,
so far from being discouraged, is still
in labor for their welfare, for sit is
thought that two full companies Of sol.
