ORNERAL REMARKS. ‘The events transpiring in Africa, the West Indies and America, relative to the renewed slave trade—the great extension of commercial enterprise—and the opening uy ‘of » cas to muititudes im Africa, both on the Niger Pe Zambezi rivers—the use of steam vessels to ascend these preat arteries of commerce—unitedly demand from us corresponding increase of efforts to extend and perfect the eat work in which we are engaged, and thus to hasten day when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God. ‘The Rev. Mr. Ramno, an Episcopal missionary from Cape Palmas, Africa, then came forward and addressed the meeting. He proposed a resolution to tue effect that the missionary work in the colonization of Guinea is deserving of support, and that the friends of missions should be the friends of colonization. Having labored for many years as a missionary in Africa, and having seen something of Libe- ria as it is, bo thought that it would not be uninteresting if he were to institute a comparison between the positien of the native Africans and the present position of Liberia. When a minister of the Gospel entered upon parts of Africa where no man of God has ever been before, he usually found much to discourage him; but if he labored. with zea! aud prayerfui perseverance be would find good fruits flowing in. He then, at length, described the moral debasement of the people of Africa to whom the Geapel had not yet come. Along the coast of the Gambia were the meet degraded of the pagan nations upon earth. They are ignorant cf the God They have a name for Gud in- but they do not worship him. They know nothfog of his law; and the law of conscience, which is either con- domning or commending them, they are as ig: it of. They know nothing of sin, nor the sinfulness of and they ar uninformed concerning the reslity of a future state reward and punishment. the coming of Christ as a Saviour and the merits of bis atoniag bicod they are in the most deplorable orance, and, im fact, they are sunkez im the depths of a barbarous super- tition, ‘The “fetish” system very genornily prevails, and the le are literally aed the a which are forged by their priests, who live by their creduity. ‘There 2 no dotlly infirmity tbat alflicts the people but these priests have a remody for it im the shape of a “‘gree- gree,” or fetish charm. If the iand is stricken by famiae —the result of this syetem—if a man suflera sickness or lors, cr if any evil is anticipated, the priests are aiways ready with a specific “gree-gree’”’ to meet the case, and thus the whole land is flooded with the ifols. ttuman sacrifices are everywhere made, and the practice of witcberaft is very general. The people live almost im a state of nature, like the beasts that perish. He then re- viewed the condition of Liberia. This colony, though far removed from the degradation of which he spoke as oha- racteristic of rod nations, ;et had its darkas well as its bright sides bad proved the burying of por gl ae Hg Et oa it the colony was nevertheless thriving and improving. Palmas alono there were upwarcs of one thousand people, and the houres built on the larger settlements were very good indeed. Some of these houses were decently far- nisbed, while others are very eciegantly furnished, aad the oippers he bad the pleasure to attend were served up ‘as well as they coula be expected in this country. There are several bigh schoois in the colony, and a college far the training of teachers of the Gospel was in course of erection, and be hoped it would be soon ready for re- ception of students. There was one Episcopal school, one Presbyterian aad one Methodist. All that was wanted was the help of Christian people to ensure the fullest success. Toe reverend gontieman continued at great length to describe the affairs of tno colony He ‘was there that night as a pleacer on behaif of one hi dred millions of souls, and be hoped for aa belping hards for Liberia. It must be remembered that in belping the cause of colonization they were heiping the cause of missions. There must be more missionaries oat to Liberia, and the Gospel must be earnestly preached ——, there. What is being done for Liboria is also being done for Sierra leone The missionary work in this place was also progressing cheeringly. Two haa. dred native tribes are under the Christian laws, ant the peopiec are required by iaw to give up their hea'heaist Practices. There are seven hundred communicants ab Abiakon ip connection with the church mission, aad the Methodists bave very nearly an equal number. The ad vancement of the mitsion work, thes, is pleasing, and the task which America has to is to use her i tofirence to bring ali the ations into one fold, under one shepherd, and t> cause Ethi 5 stretch forth her hands to God in prayer acd im praise, The resolution was briefly seconded by the Rev, Mr. Finwey, with some Le oe ae) remarks on tho vast im- provement which had taken place in Liberia ant other Parts of Africa since the work of colonization has bees im progress Rev Mr Busnvett, of the Gaboon mission, next ad- Cremped the meeting. He said that the course of bis duties did pot briog him into very c\0se coanection with Liberia, Pape perpen boen in that colony, ‘80 that he could pot sow omter upon any reflections or ac- counts cf that place in particular; but he would cal! atten tion to some facts conceraing the vast continent of Africa ip general, of which Liberia is spot on its Westere sbore. Whgtber they reflected oo past history of Af. friva, ae a country where LF in earlier ays, where philosophers and mea ve thouges wore to be found, and from which many of the primitivefa thers bad come; or whether they viewed it as the Gowatrod- dep land of oppression. of barcarieam aad suverst tion, there was much to elicit the sympathy of toe Christian world. No land bad suffered worse or more unjustly than this mysterious country. Mabommedans and Christians had ‘united in a Crusade againet it, and its innocent sons amd daughters had heen made the victims of crue! oppressioe, Ano scattered over the world, fer from their own homes. the only reason that could be given for this oppres- treatment, in times pas: ar as present, was the Seoeeeteans oa burping sands, swamps; that the who irhabit the comer. wore fleree, barbarous, and every way inferior to their white bretaren, and that, therefore, they were fit ouly to be slaves. He was, however, pre- f to say from the results of his personal obeervauons there was very lit'le truth in these assertions.
