G, Pindiay farnished to the geographical section a paper “On Arctic aud Antar tic Carreats, in connection with the expedition of Sir John Frack in.” Toe writer raid, he entertained no Goubt a8 to the fate of the missing voyagers; but he was afraid it would ever be sh:ouded in myxtery. He expressed hie belief in the truth of the story of the vegsela seen floating on the ice at tie norta edge of Newfoundland, on the 26tm of April, 1851, by the Renovation. It bad been ur, that Sic Jobn F anklin would not abandon ships; but they could rot float uninteruptealy euch a dis tance; that they would have been seen by the sealers on the Labrador coast; that the account in the log differed materially from the verbal sta‘e- ment; they were not reel ships, &c.; while Others ses down the stiry aa a pure invention.

This constitution may be altered or amended, ot any of Mutal meetings, by three months notice being given as to the change desired. Rev. Dr. Deesixe, having been called upou to speak a few minutes during the ubsence of the No- miratirg Commitee, said that turce important be: Refits would grow out of the successful operation of the projected society. 1. Its practicat result would benefi‘ this country. It was tis deep conviction that the best interests of both dem ndec a» separation of races. He deemed it clearly attested by bistory, that no wo races oonid remain advastagcously On the same coil, who 6 not, by tv eir peculiar dissimilarities, cordially unite in ali sectal, civil sud political rights as one race. The laws of Providence plainly evidenced an. autagonism between the white acd black man, which precuded th-ir intermarriage, and cooseqneatly in- terposcd @ burrier, preventing the weaker from beirg inde pendent or tree. 2. It woula bevefit the colored msn themselves. character and their interest, from an observation of near forty sears, naving bimselt been porn in Ken- tuck; , and as it muy de said, brough tuo there until he was 16 years of age. Close observation fort e last six yeara as a corresponding secretary of the bosrd of rissious of the Mcthodist church, prepared him to say that the colored mau is no where a mas bot in the republic of Liberia. Bis correspondence with 2 mission of the church, which had a conference in Liberia, with twenty-four Ministers and schools and charches, showed that rf Sapte person there was inthe Methodist charch. That corresponcence shows that the negro who had been eubdued and inferior bere, had mae there an inteiligent, active, industrious man. .The differeuce was immenee. He is a subjected man here, whethor in asiave ora free State; tie is a free mun there. Here tre b ack man is under disquall- fication; there the white man ie, ft Bishop S ott, presiding at the conference in your city, relates thst during his officia’ visit to Africa, he at all places felt that he was at the fvot of the table; was itso here? E Wren the black man galos a position ia Liberia, he is king; a white man there cannot be a citizen. He aniversally , at the East fand elsewtere, when consulted, gave the advice to his colored bret>ren, Go to Liberia; you and your children are free.’ 3. Theexperiment already made has proven that colcred people, governing themselves, can be free and evjoy, their freedom. Where slse have they governed themselves? [t may perhaps be answered, they have vever had the opportunity. Where will it be got if not here in Liberia? Ste has shown it satisiuctorily, the governmevt is strong, well con- eclicated apd well reaps ted. As to colonization, te did not know what the opinion of the South now is, but a pertinent ques- tion to them bas been, ‘‘ What qill do with tho ewarcijated colored people?” ‘The question is sulved by the success of Liberia. There the delda are free, broad and abounding in available resources. Then cok mzation benefits Afica herself. - It is a national historical fact, that the swarming millions on the coast and in the interior of tois pee a Jand can only be rea: hed by the instramen- tadity of the black wan.
