Arrangements are being made to carry
a cargo of negroes from North Carolina
to Liberia about the middle of this
month. They are to be carried in body
to New York and sail from that port in
the vessel "Liberia." The sum of five
thousand dollars has been voted to the
expedition by the Pennsylvania Coloni-
zation Society of Philadelphia, and the
crew were selected by its agents. The
negroes of North Carolina are the favored
ones, and they are induced to leave this
country. by the most enticing descrip.
tions of Liberia. They are told that the
country is a fine one, and that in it they
will live many yesrs longer than they do
here; that cotton grows there without
annual planting, and is like a tree, so
they can have the most abundant crops
without much labor; that land of the
finest quality sells for fifty cents per acre,
and that farms set out in coffee begin
bearing in SIX years. and continue for
thirty years without any other labor than
gathering: that taxes aks only 25 cents
on the 300, and that's g Waite man can

While the Republicans had possession
of the State governments of Ohio and
Missouri they divided off the congress
sional districts in such manner as to
yield certain majority of Republican
Congressman from each of these States.
This action was fully endorsed by the
party of great moral ideas at that time,
but now the tables have turned, and
these two State governments are in the
control of the Democrats, who have re-
districted both States so as to remedy the
injustice of the former legislation, and
under the new arrangement it is expec-
ted that eleven additional Democrats will
bs elected to Congress from these two
States, and of course as many Republi-
cans left of, so that the Democrats will
gain twenty-five votes out of these States
alone. The Republicans have at last
discovered that it is q great political
crime to gerrymander congressional dis
tricts, and are making a great deal of
fuss about it. Their memories are too
short to recollect that they were the ones
who first gerrymandered these States,
and that the present redistricting is only
undoing their work. The fuss, however,
comes too late. The changes have been
made, and the Democrats will gain
twenty-five votes, the greater portion of
which do not come from the solid South.
