A correspondent of the Macon Journal and
Messenger gives, the .subioincd account of a
speech delivered by colorcd man. at a DEM
ocratic barbecue, in Pulaski County, few
days ago: = ie ~ elif.stf fs.e,k Ri so
Next followed a colored man by the name
of Sherman, who gave, in a conversational,
style, n most interesting history Of his trip to
and his stay in, Liberia. He was not at all
complimentary to the agents of The Colonial
ton Society, on account of'thc mcagrc supply
of provisions .onj the voyage. He says, they
were compelled to subsi: t for days on rations
consisting Of q single, cracker and. a pint of
water; but when they reached their destination,
on account of tho. many deaths occurring in
their party, their rations wore increased to
three crackers per day. He said he was told
by : tho; Colonization Society that, when he
reached Liberia, he would find a species Of
fruit kuownI as the bread fruit, growing in
great abundance on tho trecs--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. aud are in a
putrid state. 81, $50 x "a ~ .;}s
He said he determined TO feavs us suun as
no could provide himself with money TO pay
his passage Ass &c s to New York. which, he soon
obtained, and took ship for Now York, where
he felt cvnfdent Of meeting many friends.
A iter arriving in the city, he made application
to some mon on the wharf for work, was told
they did not employ negroes, and driven away;
he made several other applications on the
wharf, meeting in every instance .unkind re-
pulses. He then made application at two car
penter shops, from, which he hardly escaped
with his scalp. lie returned to the wharf in
despair, when he fortunately found gentle
man from Savannah, and after having to work
for his food until he could get a, situation, he
proposed to work for him in the same way he
gave him his food, and Afterwards paid the IT,.
price Of his labor, which enabled him to reach
Savannah, whero he met with Southern friends,
who furnished him means to reach his old
home, where he hopes to live anu die, for ne
says the black man has no friends only in the
South. He advised the black man to be peace,
able and industrious, and 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.

It was almost as important that Grant and

Vermont Election Notes.

Some, and for aught We know, al, of tn,
Democratic tickets voted in this county, had on
them the names Of but three electors, two at
large and one for this district Whoever got up
the ticket evidently did not understand that the
electors are not chosen by districts but by gen
erd ticket. If elected by districts, Of course the
electoral vote Of many States would be divided,
some electors being chosen Of one party, and
some Of the other The blunder will make no
practical difference with the result in Vermont.
In the town Of Morristown, Vt, u men over
70 years Of ago voted for Grant on Tuesday last,
and one man over 20 for Seymour.
In Newbury, Vt, John Kimball, Esq, "a
years old, voted for Grant and Colflz on Tues
day, and has voted at every Presidential election
from John Adams down.
Rutland has given the largest vote and the
biggest majority for Grant Of any Vermont town,
polling a total vote of l,2o7, and giving a Re
publican majority ofds5-a gain Of % over the
Republican majority Of the tom in September.
Il viii be seen that several towns do not re-
port a Democratic vote. The sterling town o.
Lincoln, in Addison County, which has given
not Democratic vote in several recent elections.
now gives two Democratic votes, but the Town
Clerk, in transmitting the vote, assures US that
they were not cast by residents of that town.

diyidual reputation as scholars and EDUCATORS
AMI their collective authority the highest School
Board ought surely to be IS much, we think, as
themselves or publishers should have occasion to
asL for
A. the same time we would not object to a law
similar to the one which has just failed pro
ri9ef first. that it were part of homogene-
Gus system Of compulsory education and sec
ondlv, that it were properly limited in its opera
ton. as in the State Of California. We do not
altogether repudiate the idea embodied in the
bill We say only that, in the shape it was pre-
scented to the House, it had no place in our pre-
sent state system Of Free Schools. But the sub
ject Of Compulsory Education is too large for US
to discuss to-day.
As to uniformity in school textbooks, we SUP
pose that the majority Of teachers agree upon
this point They consider it desirable, eateri'
pari5as. Not a few of the best educators in the
land however, dissent from this view. But
when the question arises how to secure the de-
sired uniformity, there is certainly room for
more than one answer. Our example does not
seem to commend itself to other States. They
think, mistakenly perhaps, that the matter can
be better regulated by local boards than by one
central Board providing only, as in the State
Of Maine, that changes shall not occur oftener
than once in SO many years. Connecticut too
has hitherto resisted all the efforts Of disinter-
estei publishers to get a revision Of her School
law On this point.
