READ This, Co1oRED MEN.--A
correspondent of the Macon Journal
and Messenger gives the subjoined
account of a speech delivered by q
colored man, at Democratic bar.
becue, in Pulaski County, few days
ago:
Next followed q colored man by
the name of Sherman, who gave, in
conversational style, most inte-
resting history of his trip to and his
stay in Liberia. He was not at all
complimentary to the agents of the
Colonization Society, on account of
the meagre supply of provisions on
the voyage. He says they were COM
PEELED to subsist for days on rations
consisting of single cracker and q
pint of water; but when they reached
their destination, on account of the
many deaths occurring in their
party, their rations were increased to
three crackers per day. He said he
was told by the Colonization Society
that, when he reached Liberia, he
would find q species of fruit known
as the bread fruit, growing in great
abundance on the trees-all of which
he found to be true, but neither he
nor any of his party could eat it.
He says the natives live on snakes,
frogs, lizards, or any sort of animals
they can capture and slay, but they
prefer animals that have died. and
are in putrid state.
He said he determined to leave as
soon as he could provide himself
with money to pay his passage to
New York, which he soon obtained.
and took ship for New York, where
he felt confident of meeting many
friends. After arriving in the citv,
he made application to some men. on
the wharf for work, was told they
did not employ negroes, and, driven
away; he made several other appli-
cations on the wharf, meeting in
every instance unkind repulses. He
then made application ct two car.
penter shops, from which he hardly
escaped with his scalp. He returned
to the wharf in despair, when
he fortunately found gentleman
from Savannah, and after having TO
work for mis- food until he could get
situation, he proposed to work for
him in the same way; he gave him
his food, and afterwards paid the
full price of his labor, which enabled
him to reach Savannah, where he
met with Southern friends, who fur
nlshed him means to reach his old
home, where he hopes to live and
die, for he says the black man has no
friends only in the South. He ad-
vised the black man to be peaeeable
and industrious, and, be governed by
the advice Of the people in this coun-
Try. That slavery at the South, in
It's worst form, is better for the black
man than freedom at the North.

The ELRorIoN IN WILMINGTON.
DELAWARE. The result of the elec-

resulted in radical gain of about
sixty, has been heralded by unscru-
pnlous party journals as great radi-
cal triumph. The fact was that local
Issues We're alone involved, and the
