REMARKS OF SENATOR ANTHONY op
RHODE IsLAND.-The following chasta
and pleasant complimentary address, made
by Mr. Anthony in the Senate, on Mr..
Fosters retiring from the Chair, with its
mournful "reminiscences, will be read with
PLEASURE. This and the closing speech of
Mr.. Cofax are among the finest specimens
of their character ever pronounced in this
country:
Mr.. PRESIDENT | am sure that I
speak the sentiments of every Senator
upon this floor, to whatever party he may
belong, when bear testimony to the high
ability, the uniform courtesy and the un-
varying impartiality with which the duties
Of the presiding officer have been per-
formed during the Congress that is about
to close. The chair to which you have
just been elected by the unanimous voice
of your peers in this chamber, has been.
by the election Of the Senate, filled by
some of the most eminent men who have
illustrated the annals of American states
msnship. John Langdon, Richard Henry
Lee, Theodore Sedgwick, William II
Crawford, james Barbour, Nathaniel Ma
con, Hugh s. White, William r. King.
Samuel S. Southland, Willie P. Mangum,
Solomon Foot, and others not less dstin-
guished, have been Presidents pro empsrc
Of the Senate. It is safe to say that by
none Of them have the duties Of the Office
been administered more to the creai n
the presiding officer, or more to the satia,
faction of the Senate, than the retiring
President. Fortunate will it be for thoae
who succeed him if, when they come to
lay dewa the high dignity which he has
just resigned, they shall take with then
so large share of the respect, the conf
dence and the affection Of their associates:
and fortunate will it BE- for the Senate i
the same intimate acquaintance with par
hanentary law, aad the aame prompt ap-
plieatios Of its principles sAak always
guido their dsc-ssions, aaa The sams ella
and impartial dignity shall always prs-
aidssvs thaie Gsl3scaasns.

Bunker Hill" by Lyman s. Clark, rous-
ed the patriotism of the audience, and
caused many tear to fall. Prof.

ment as director and leaves fully conf
dent of the success he has attained, and
that the association under his manage
ment has become a permanent instisu-
ton. The last concert of the Union will

THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1855.
Colonization OF Africa.

Attached to the annual appropriation
n,lI OF Congress was II clause giving to
the American Colonization Society the
sum OF fifty thousand dollars to aid In
furnishing conveyance and support TO
such parties as may desire TO emigrate
TO the Republic Of Liberia. Some have
taken il for granted the the objects Of
The scheme of African colonization had
becn superseded by the emancipation OF
the colored man from slavery. During
the last year there emigrated to Liberia
between six and seven hundred persons,
and already there are something like a
thousand applicants Sor passage thither.
It should be remembered that none ever
10 except those who go by their own
choice and preference. The practice OF
the Colonization Society is to furnish
them transportation and give them sup
mort there for six months, and the colony
now gives to the emigrants twenty-five
acres OF land where formerly they gave
but ten. Those who have gone there
send back to their friends in this coun-
try favorable reports, and invite them
10 emigrate to Liberia. The annual
message ofPresident Warner to the Con-
gress OF Liberia in 1865, document
which compares favorably with those OF
our own Executives, either present or
past. expresses the hope that is to be
huils upon the disenthrallmert OF their
race In this country. 1t is not only the
policy tina. there should be established
upou the coast of Africa a nation with
which we can always be in commercial
harmony, where we can establish coaling
depots for our navy, and obtain every
other advantage which can be derived
from such an association, but it is a
matter of justice, it is matter which
presents itself TO US upon the highest
so ssible grounds on which any moral
demand can be made upon people.
These persons were brought there by
wrong, by crime, which we have been
expiating during the last five years and
II there are thousands who desire to re-
turn to the continent where their fathers
lived, and where the great body OF the
race must live, 1t is but just and right
that aid be extended to them to do so,
WHIT we would, by any act of legislation,
do nothing to compel or constraln
these men to leave this country, but
simply extend to them an opportunity
to 90 If they 20 desire.
The day has been in the past when the
plan OF African colonization enlisted the
sympathies aud active cooperation OF
many Of the best and most illustrious
men whose names appear upon the
pages OF our history. In 1852, Congress
passed q law recognizing the Republic OF
ii beria, and now we should have our
country represented in that Government
By men Of color. There has been no
colonization OF which we have accounts
that has succeeded as this has within
the period OF fifteen years, in establish.
my a free republic, respected and &C,
knowledged by the civilized world, and
which has made such advancement as
this, and ii is Just and right to extend
this aid in their behalf

generally understood he was the princi-
pal owner of the Bennington g. Rutland
Railroad. That he had within a few
days been offered 100000 cash for his
interest therein, by parties hostile to its
welfare, but that he would sacrifice every
dollar Of the road before he would be
instrumental In placing 1t in the hands
and under the control of such parties.
When he sold the road to such manage
meut, he would dispose of all his other
property within the limits of the State
and move away. A new road must and
will be constructed for an outlet from
this section of the State.
Several projects have been considered

is to connect our road with the roads q,

THE Menken has been seen in London
by the correspondent Of the Times. He
thus describes his feelings:
"Thc house (Astley's) was crowded to the
very roof-a crowd upon which a pin could
not have dropped without stirring somebody.
Il ought to know, for a man in the gallery
dropped his cap with his supper inside into
the stalls, and the refreshments were depos-
tied on my nose,) a crowd which kept up,a
cheering for the Menkcn E Ada the people
called her affectionately) all the time she was
on the stage. She camc forward with many
smiles, wearing a gorgeous dress-out 1t was
NOT her dress the audience went to see.
Presently she fought her duel and was or.
dcrcd to be tied to the wild and untamed
steed. Happy moment! Triumph Of art
or heart, as they call it over the water! She
was very nearly, as I heard IN old lady re.
mark, as mature made her. and was tied
bare backed to the stecd-I should say to the
barc-backed steed. Although at first she
shricked out to one Of the myrmidons not to
strip her, still when she was stripped she did
not seem to mind it much she looked rather
more at home than before, and was soon
strapped fast. Up went the steed-bravely
showed the Menkcn! The people were so
delighted that they called her before the cur
tain, and she was in such a hurry to obey,
that she did not wait to put her clothes on"
