with no doubt whatever Of the good faith

Tho rumorcd project of Tho Mexican res
idcnts Of northern Guatemala to excite q rev.

When Guatemala and Salvador were last en-

Mexico might espouso the cause OF the latter.
and claim as her compensation n slico OF
Guatemala's 8 northern frontier. While such an
arrangement would have been n bargain for

It would be unfortunate for the small
ship load OF American cOlored people. who
left this port four weeks ago to settle in
the Liberian republic. il they should be
compelled to shoulder arms after getting
there. But we have news from Liberia
that there is danger OF serious trouble. as
several OF the native tribes are in revolt.
and as large military force as the republic
can raise may be needed for actual service
In the field.
II is believed in Monrovia that the Eng
lish colonists OF Sierra Leone have stirred
up these tribes. under the notion that COM
plications will thus be brought about
through which they may seize desirable
portion Of the territory OF Liberia: and it is
further believed that there is danger OF
rupture between Liberia and Sierra Leone.
It is not necessary to accept this
Monrovian theory. because. rs matter
Of fact, several OF tho native tribes of Lii
IBERIA have been restless. and even at times
rebellious. ever since the establishment OF
the republic which destroyed the power Of
their chiefs. But contest with the Brit
ish troops in Sierra Leone would be serious
business for Liberia. as, In truth, racket
with the native chiefs must be, and all tho
fighting men in the country must do duty
in the emergency. 1t cannot be supposed
that the colored emigrants who recently
left us will he pressed into the service. even
though they may be needed in 1t.
Liberia has been striving hard this year
to induce American colored people to settle
there. and its agents have been traversing
the Southern States. under instructions
from President JOHNSON. They have met
with very little success thus far. and. II
