More Emigrants than could be accommodated. By reference to the list of names, in another column, of the emigrants lately embarked for Liberia, it will be seen that the ship Sophia Walker carried out two hundred and fiftytwo, and the brig Harp twenty-five persons. We had expected the whole of them would have gone in the Sophia Walker, and supposed that we had made ample provision for them. But we were disappointed. inform us if they would have any extra amount of freight. We allow to each emigrant the bulk of two barrels, not including their mattresses and bedding which they put in their berths. If they have more than this we desire to be apprised of it before chartering the vessel, and we expect them to pay for all over two barrels. Having taken all these necessary precautions, we chartered a ship large enough to carry all that had been reported to us, with some room to spare, and therefore felt very comfortable in the prospect. But to our surprise and very great embarrassment, three hundred and ten emigrants came forward to embark in the ship, and some of them had such an amount of baggage and When we chartered the ship, we calculated that there would be ready to sail in her about two hundred and seventy-five emigrants. We however put up berths and made arrangements for two hundred and eighty-eight. The Sophia Walker is a larger vessel than the Banshee, which carried, on her last voyage to Liberia, two hundred and seventy-trunks and boxes, barrels and hogsseven. We therefore supposed that she would be plenty large to carry all who would be ready to go, to gether with their baggage and everything they would have to take with them. We had requested our friends to be very careful to give us the names of all who would go, and heads, as we had never conceived of, and knew not what to do with! What could we do? The ship could not take them all! Some of them had come 750 miles to the place of embarkation! They wanted to take with them everything which they had-and they would find it all use Hereafter we hope that our friends will notify us beforehand fully and particularly as to the names and ages of all who will certainly go, and especially as to the amount of freight which they will have to take with them. If we can know these things beforehand with any degree of reliable certainty, we will endeavor to make provision for all who want to emigrate. ful in Liberia ! We were greatly embarrassed to know what to do.There were not enough more than the ship could take to warrant us in chartering another vessel, and we had not the means to do it! We therefore did the very best thing we could under the circumstances; we embarked two hundred and fiftytwo persons in the Sophia Walker, filling all the rest of the room in her with their things; we engaged a small merchant vessel that was bound for the coast to take twentyfive emigrants and 450 barrels of freight; and we left behind for the fall expedition thirty-three persons. As this was the first, so we hope it may be the last time we shall find ourselves in so embarrassing a predic-sachusetts Colonization Society, and ament. Generally we have found, when we had chartered a vessel and made our arrangements, that the number who actually came forwardly arrived emigrants during their acready to sail was less than had been previously reported to us. This time it was greater. Those who were left behind are greatly disappointed. We have the pleasure of informing our friends, both in this country and in Liberia, that Drs. J. H. Snowden and Daniel Laing, Jr., sailed for Liberia in the Sophia Walker.— They are colored men who have been thoroughly educated under the care and at the expense of the Mas they will be employed in Liberiaone at Sinou and the other on the St. Paul's river-to attend our new climation. We shall therefore have hereafter four regular physicians in our employ in Liberia. sons intending to emigrate to Liberia, and expressed my firm conviction of the paramount importance of high moral and mental training as a fit preparation for such emigrants. To my great regret the gentleman stated that under existing circumstances the project, all important as he confessed it to be, was almost impracticable; so strong being the influence of the enemies of colonization that they would dissuade any colored persons so educated from leaving the United States. I knew that he was thoroughly acquainted with the subject in all its bearings, and therefore felt that he must have good reasons for what he said; still I hoped the case was not quite so bad as he thought, and, at any rate, I looked forward with strong hope to the time when the colored race would, as a body, open there eyes to the miserable, unnatural position they occupy in America; when they would see who were their true friends, those who offered them real and complete freedom, social and political, in a land where their is no white race to keep them in subjection, where they govern themselves by their own laws; or those pretended friends who would keep the African where he can never be aught but a self and bondsman of a despised cast, and who, by every act of their pretended philanthropy, make the colored man's condition worse. Most happily, since that time, the colored race has been aroused to a degree never before known, and the conviction has become general among them that they must go to Liberia if they would be free and happy. Under these circumstances the better the education of the colored man the more keenly will he feel | his present situation and the more clearly will he see the necessity of emigration. Assuming such to be the feelings of the colored race, I think the immense importance of a collegiate institution for the education of their young men must be felt and acknowledged by every friend of the race. Some time since the legisla ture of Liberia passed an act to incorporate a college in Liberia, but I fear the project has failed, as I have heard nothing more of it since. Supposing however the funds raised for such an institution, where are the professors to come from? They must be educated in this country; and how can that be done without establishing an institution specially for young colored men? There is not a college in the United States where a young man of color could gain admission, or where, supposing him admitted, he could escape insult and indignity. Into out Theological Seminaries a few are admitted, and are, perhaps, treated well; but what difficulty they find in obtaining a proper preparatory education. The cause of religion then, no less than that of secular education, calls for such a mea sure. I think a strong and earnest appeal ought to be made to every friend of colonization throughout the United States to support the scheme with heart, hand and purse. Surely there are enough friends of the cause to subscribe at least a moderate sum for such a noble object; and in a cause like this, wealthy colored persons ought to, and doubtless will, subscribe according to their means. In addition to a general appeal through the Repository, let each individual friend of colonization use all his influence with his personal friends and acquaintances, especially |
