Liberia.

A piteons cry comes from across the sea.
The model negro Republic of Liberia, which
has existed and bloomed for thirty years like
big snntiower, is in danger Of being swal.

and rivalry Of England and France. Liberia
has a rich coast of six hundred miles. Eng.
land employs forty steamships in the West
Coast Of Africa trade. The Niger alone af
iorls an annual business to the country of
81 800 900. France alternates with England
in the establishment of trading posts and,
perhaps, does the larger share OF exchange in
products. A question Of boundary has been
raised and England threatens 10 slice sixty
miles off her northwestern territory, to be
followed by q slice from the southeastern
coast in due time. The Government owes
England 100000, upon which no interest,
is paid, and backed by number Of Chiefs,
who are under her thumb, BRITANNIA may be
expected ut any time to make reclamation
with gunboats. The poor, little Republic has
long been torn by the Jealousy of the two
classes of negroes within her borders-the
natives and imported gentlemen from the
United States. There is no race repugnance
in this country equal TO that which exists be
tween these classes. There Is uu affectAtiun
OF superiority on one hand met by contempt
and hatred on the other. The negro from
the United States carried with him to Liberia

Of superiority which he seemed to think the
characteristics of his old master. On the
other hand, the native king or head man has

war, led him on Sunday last, in his dis,
course on "Christian Love casting Dat
Hate, to remark
This people was divided by an invisible line
morally visible enough--and this great ma.
ton was separated, the North from the South,
and stood IN bloody antagonism through five
years. Aud now my own Judgment Is that
when you consider human nature; what il is
to hold property Of any kind; for people to
have that property swept out Of their hands,
tho rich among them reduced TO absolute poy-
erty, great bulk of men that never knew how
to work left to subsist by learning how to

heads, their whole industry revolutionized--I
should not have wondered If there had been q
great deal more of resistance than there has
been at the South. ] do say that in the whole

We are all one, all united.
Mr. Beecher, il will be remembered, did
as much to bring on the late civil war as
any man in the country, aud to keep alive
animosities since the dawn of peace, The
truth of the situation has been revealed to
him by personal contact with the Southern
people aud a study of affairs, and he now
