A coIored Mans Trip to Liberia.

A correspondent of the Macon Journal and
Messenger giyesth subjoined account of q
speech delivered by colored man at Dem
ecratic barbecue, in Pulaski county, few
days ago:
Next followed colored man by the name
of Sherman, who gave, in conversational
STYLE most interesting history of his trip to
and his stay in Liberia. He was not at all
complimentary to the agents of the Coloniza.
ton Society, on account Of the meagre supply
of provisions ON the voyage. he says they
were compelled to subsist for days on rations
consisting of single cracker and pint Of
water but when they reached their destina.
-tion, on account Of the many deaths occur
ring in their party, their rations were ircrcas-
ed 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 knownas the bread frultgrow,:.
ing in-great abundance on the trees--ail oil
which be 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 Say, but
they prefer animals that have died and arc in
a putrid state. !,
lie said h. determined oleave as soon as he
could provide himself with money to pay his
passage to New York, which he soon obtain
ed, and took ship for New York, where he
felt confident of meeting many frierts. At
ter arriving in the city he made application
to some men on the wharf for work., was told
they did not employ negroes, ard, driven
away; he made several other applications on
the wharf, meeting in every instance unkind
repulses. lie then made applications at two
carpenter shops, from which he hardly es.
capped with his scalp. He returned to the
wharf in despair, when he fortunately found
a pentlsmaa from Savannah, and nfteF7 haei9eaR
to work for his food until be could get a sit
ua,ion, he proposed to work for him in the
same way; lie gave him his food, and aiter-
wards paid the full price Of his labor, which
enabled him to reach Savannah, where ne
met with Southern friends who furnished him
means to reach his old home, where be hopes
TO live and die, for he says the black man has
no friends only in the South. he advised the
black men to be -peuceaole and industrious,
aud be governed by the. advice Of the people
in this country. That slavery at the South,
in its worst form, is better for the black man
than freedom at the North.

To the Colored People.

We publish below an extract from speech
made to the colored people OF Georgia by an
eminent gentleman Of that State. 1t con-
tains some excellent suggestions, and is wor'
thy of carctill pernsal. We commend it to
the careful consideration of the colored peo-
pie of this State:
What a'glorlous future there is foryou in
these Southern States. A mild winter, q
fruitful spring and summer, and autumn, with
its rich and abundant yield. Acclimatized.
and accustomed to the culture of the soil ;
and in the midst of. those who from infancy
have looked upon you, with feelings of alice
ton; aud you, with gratitude, as the recpi-
ents of their kindness. What can prevent
your advance in all the blessings of life 2
SURROUNDED with all its comforts and assured
of its safety. Nothing nothing but the
evil advice of bad men; contemplate aspi
rants for political positions, who have come
amongst and are hurrying you to ruin and
destruction, by arraying you in opposition to
your friends and iurmer owners. They tell
you if the Democrats gain the elections you
will be made slaves. This is false, and they
tell it with the energy of trutl. and want you
to believe it. Believe them not, fellow-citi-
zens. You are free; never, no, never, to be
slaves again save to your own passion and
their evil advice. Free as the white man,
protected as the white man by the same laws
of your country in all that is right, Just and
honorable. But this Government is white
mans Goyernment. The Indiani never ruled
the negro will never rule, and it is madness
to think otherwise. Do you think, that one
million and q. half of people, two thirds oil
whom cannot read, nor do they know the sim
pest letter in the alphabet will govern thirty
millions Of men who have made laws for these
States led armies to battle, and whose elo'
quence held in breathless suspense the Con-
gress Of our country. Are such menas these
to be governed by you? Believe not their
falseboods. Listen not to them. Oh thai
my voice could reach you from the sea-beach
to the mountain Of every Southern State, and
convince you that your only friends are those
| who will give you employment. and offer you
the protection of life and property, under thu
same laws that guard their own, and that only
quiet submission to those laws, which We
must all obey, will give peace and plenty
where want aud oppression now reign tn
umphant. Now make your choice, and Goe
direct you to make it wisely, for it will b'
want aud exile, or life, peace and prosperity

SECRET PoLIcE AND NEGRO ORGANIZATIONS
IN FLORIDA. -. Data" the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writes as
follows: : .,p 4 le,sf -',e5lt'
A petition has been sent here from promi-
nent aud respectable citizens Of Florida in
which it is stated that ave are in terrible
.eopi lion here; and God knows what may not
happen ct any moment. The Legislature
passed Bill empowering the Governor to
h,ve detective and secret police body, to
such an extent as he deems fit, uncontrolled
by any one With this power he is enabled
ito, raise and mss many negroes as he
pleases, and from what has transpired, hehas
gone to work extensively. ..,s.n
Besides this he is quietly, through agents,
.organizing the negro militia, who arc drilling
on the plantations privately, and have. orders
to mount mules, &c, and hurry to town at q
given signal The few United States troops
we had have been removed to. Tampa, Jack
sonvillc aud Augustine, and We are left help
less, with negro population counting. fourto
one of the whites.
. We never haye been aIarmists, but really
our couditionis such that we feel justified in
.apprehending infinite danger at any inoment.
Saech creatures armed and headed by very
bad white: men, aud given to know thst they
are protected by law, win not hesitate at any
rascality. You see what our condition is.
Our families are at their mercy. If we leave
them TO concentrate SO as to meet the negroes,
they may be sufferers before we, can come to
their assistance. If we stay to defend our
households, we are to be cut of in detail.
Now, more than at any other moment, we
need the presence of United Statcs. troops,
commanded by the right kind of officers, and
should not have less than two hundred to
three hundred here, where, in twelve hours,
half the able-bbdied negroes in the State
could be collected. 80 .,,.,
