Once every year q number OF antiquated gentle

meet IN New York to discuss the condition of the
Liberian republic and aid Sambo In running his
governmental machine In the country OF his curly

lvious of the fact that slavery is gone where the
good niggers go, and that from being slaves
In the sunny South the colored popula-
tlon have become masters. They publish an

Aj'ican Repository, and their last one Is Just

over $4,000 In $780, and with the money sent out to
Liberia about 100 negro men ami women ana sixty

now nearly exhausted, which is hardly to
be wondered at, considering what IL costs
