Strange Accounts from Liberia
The Farmvillef(Va.) Journal notices the
return from Diberit of two slaves who were
emancipated by the late John Watson, of
Prince Edward county. The coin of 84,000
stay left by Mr. Watson to carry sixtrof his
slaves to that Republic. They givoia 'very
discouraging account of the trip out and
their treatment after they arrived. The
Journal says :
Before leaving the ship, the ;gent of the
Colonization Society indinied the emigrants
to purchase quantities. of cheap Calico, brass .
rivelry,lx , assuring them that they would
need such articles in their dtw home, hut
on their arrival. they found that they had
been deceived and defr&uded out of their.
money. The provisions carried out for their
heliport for the first six mouths were sold
dally before their eyes, and they were com
pelled to buy provisions every day, (AA of
, very inferior quality and insufficient in
quantity.' The agent employed by the Seri
,
city would AICII to the bakers, and the ba
kers to the emigrants— their own provisjois
--at exorbitant prices, the agent receiving
part of the profits.
On their ar rival they only received a half
acre of land, instead of the flee acres prom
ised, They found provisions at exorbitant
prices, and a good deal of bad treatment
lwsides from the authorities. They allege
that the President of the colony, if not cu•
gaged in the slave trade, connives at it.
They have returned to slavery, believing
that freedom to the negro in Africa is the
greatest curse that 'could pmeribly befall
him ; and that had the Liberians the means
of getting away sever.-eights of them would
gladly return to the United States and serve
the hardest masters to be found in the
South, feeling that the condition of the slave
here is far preferable tt of the most
favored of the ir) nhalato , • • Tia

Truth in a Nutshell
The Washington Union says that, what
we have quarreled about since the organiza
tion of the gov,rument, in point of fact, has
been the 'imposition of slavery Ir. the public
Territories. This question has been fierce
ly discussed in Congress and throughout the
North on oneside,.iiiiil the Sootlion the other ;
and yet the North had no interest in it, no
povdeitdeuide - it, no right to interfere with
it. The South had no more just claim over
it and authority to control it than the North•
, i Congress had no business with it, could not
hapc it, dislodge it, or prohibit it. The
people of the Territories were its governors.
They could create or abolish it when they
came up to man's estate. Thus this flight

Human Nature ;
OR, THE RAN KRUPT MERCHANT

In our BO called Wittiest circle of fashion,
while many a calculating mamma consider

pecuniary losses and embarrassments, chile
the news spread as far as goittup tongues
could report at. Strange to say, 'altho' his

some money was yet kit with him. Wise
men, in the reviewat of has conduct, were
heard to say that he was exceedingly hon

' It la • philosophical enigma," 1 replied
"'.So it was with inc u n til I solved it,"
said he. " 1 found it a strange companion
the larger portion of which was selfishness.
For i isla nee, when the gilding of wealth
covered my name, I was sought after by
the very men who now turn their backs On
me. I was flattered by women, who, if
my name was now mentioned in their pres
ence, would affect a forgetfulness of having
ever heard of it. After d—er we will make
sonsealls, during which you will perceive
some ample illustrations of it hat I have
said.''
Accordingly, after dinner we set aut.
We first entered the counting-room of a
merchant, to whom he introduced one as a
friend. 1 soon learned that my friend watt
not held in the highest estimation, from the
cold formality with which he was received.
We did not even have the courtesy of chairs
offered us. With a meaning h ank, Ray
mond bade the merchant good afternoon,
and we foimd ourselves in the street.
" This is illustration Nu. one," said he
ith a smile.
" Is it possible that you could ever have
been intimately acquainted w ith this insii;"
I faked.
" That maxillas), beau wshiessist s d'A
time have I thus acoinmodated him. I even
loaned him money to commence business,
and now you see how graciously he has en
tertained me and my friend."
We next passed to the door of an elegant
mansion, wherein Raymond bad been a fre
quent and honored guest. It wassiilie rep l
dence of a professional gentleman, of largo
fortune, who still did Raymond the justice
to regard bin, on all oi•caawns as his friend,
and to treat hint as such. Ills lady had
even professed a friendship (or Min greater
than her lintsband's—if not for her own, at
least for her daughter's sake, to whom ru
mor once reported he was engaged. Since
Raymond's misfortune Was whispeted to
her, she no longer spoke of bun as a dear
friend but endeavored to persuade her hus
band to ''rid the 110030 of him," which pro-
vokesl the calm reply—
" lle is • gentleman, and as such it is my
will that you should entertain him when•
ever ho may • honor your house with his
presente
On this account, I suppose, we were tol
erated in the present instance, for the gen
tleman was not at home. The lady treated
us rather coolly, which I was prepared to
see. After we were seated. Raymond in
quired for Miss Richards, her daughter, to
which the lady replied, with an apparent
shrug of the shoulders, that she was well,
but at present engaged.
" No, mamma, I am not," said the beau
tiful girl, as she lighly entered the roorn.—
" I am ;nippy to meet an old friend who,
am sure, is none the less welcome from be
ing unfortunate."
The lovers—for they really were—had
not met since Raymond's misfortune, and
their - meeting now was so heartfelt, that I
could not for a moment doubt the affection
of either. I saw also the flood that rested
upon ther brow - of -Mrs,--14seinsejth
surprised to hear her say—
My daughter is so pleasantly engaged,
gentlemen, that I trust my presence Is no
longer required :" tod, without ceremony,
she left the room.
