The manner in which these two gentlemen performed the duties thus devolving on them, their earnest exhibitions of kindness to the peo THE fine ship Euphrasia, chartered by this Society, sailed from Baltimore the 3d and Norfolk the 6th November, with 168 emigrants for Liberia; a list of whose names, &c., and former places of residence may be found in another column.Among these emigrants were sixty-ple, and sympathy for them, and six of the seventy-one from Fauquier County, Va., mentioned in our circular of August last, and for the expense of whose transportation and six months' support in Liberia, our friends so liberally and promptly responded to our special appeal. By the death of the Rev. T. D. Herndon, in September last, the duty of attending to the outfit, and transportation to Baltimore, of these people, devolved on his two brothers, Rev. Thaddeus Herndon, who lib-ety and liberality for the comfort erated one of the families, consisting of eight persons, and Rev. Richard Herndon, who, in connection with his brother, volunteered to act as agent for his sister-in-law, the widow the very liberal outfits which they provided for them, everything that they thought they would probably need in their new home in Liberia, clearly showed that they entertained a sincere regard for the comfort and welfare of these people. The expenses incurred by them for the outfit and traveling expenses of the people whom they and their friends had liberated was upwards of $2,000. Similar exhibitions of anxi and welfare of liberated slaves, by those who had given them their freedom, we have frequently before witnessed, while superintending the embarkation of emigrants for Li beria. And we know that many of the citizens of that republic cherish feelings of the warmest gratitude towards their former owners, whom they regard as among their best earthly friends. assistance he may receive in enabling him to effect the cherished object of securing the freedom of his wife and child, who would be glad to follow him to Liberia. We told Washington that we would state his case to our friends; and it seemed to inspire him with renewed hope; and his countenance lighted up with joyful anticipation of being blessed with the society of his loved ones in the distant home for which he was about to embark. If, there fore, any of our friends shall be pleased to forward donations to us for this object, we will take pleasure in seeing that they are properly applied. We shall be much gratified to be able to send the wife and child to Liberia next spring. Among the emigrants by the Euphrasia, was a family from Rockbridge County, Va., consisting of One of the emigrants in the Herudon company, named Harry Tyler, received his freedom on the payment of about one-third of what his owner could have sold him for, that he might accompany his wife and children to Liberia. This amount he raised by personal solicitation, principally in New York City. Another man, named Washington Johnson, had made an ineffectual effort to purchase his wife and child, belonging to a gentleman in the neighborhood, who agreed to let him have them for $600. He endeavored to raise the money, but succeeded in getting only $250, which amount he left in part pay-nine persons, the head of whom, ment of the price asked, and took the obligation of the owner to give them their freedom when the remaining $350 should be paid. This poor man seemed to be greatly depressed at not being able to take his wife and child with him; his affection for whom was evinced in his earnest effort to raise the money to buy them, and his willingness to leave all that he could raise in part payment for them. Mr. Herndon, speaks in very high terms of this and we believe him to be a good and true man, worthy of any man, Edmund Brown, had, by persevering personal application, succeeded in raising a sufficient amount of funds, to enable him to purchase two of his children (grown daughters) and two grand children, one a fine young man for whom he paid $900, and a son for whom he paid $775, who remains to work out the freedom of his wife, and then to follow his father to Liberia. Of the donations received by Edmund Brown, $275 were from a good lady of Princeton, N. J. Among the emigrants that em |
