Liberia,
The North American speaks of its pleasure in
perus i n g files of papers from Liberia. Files
from Liberia in Africa! From a colony of
blacks Yes t there is literature there, and the
colored race are showing themselves capable of
conducting even the higher arts of civilintinn,
and of sustaining law, older, and fteedern in
union.
These papers show a freedom of speech, an d
an abuse of that freedom in the political contests
of the community, which might intimate that
they were apt learners in our own schools, and
bid fair to mind their teachers. They, however,
also, indicate great progress in civilisatiln,
trade, agriculture, the meoltanie arts, literature,
end science. They also speak' of a growing
desire among the nations in the vicinity to be
(emo annexed to Liberia.
The Liberaytroid gives nn account of a school
examinatiol3, vrikloh shows well for the progress
of learning. It says:
' The examination in the Alexander High
School took place in the school-room, on Broad
Street, on Wednesday, the 29th ult., before a
large and deeply interested audience. There
were present His Excellency President 13808071,
Ex President Roberts, Rev. John Seys, Rev. S.
J. Matthews, and other prominent members of
the community. The examination was conducted
by the Principal, Mr. E. W. Blyden. The reci
fattens of the first class were in Xenophon's
lambasts, in the first and fourth books ; the
description of the battle of C 0.114.111, a plan
which was drawn on the blackboard by J. T.
Dimery, one of the students, who also translated
the whole of the eighth chapter of the first book;
and the firAt i giew of the Black Sea by the ten
thousand Its, translated by M M. Wither.
spoon. Those who understood, effirm that the
translation was critical and perfect. The same
class read and Was examined in Taoitus. the
Germania; also in Algebra, Simple and Quad
ratio Equations and Arithmetical Progression.
The students manifested great readiness in the
solution of problems. The second Glees was
examined in Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic
Wars, in Arithmetic and Geography. The exer
cises were closed by addresses delivered by two
of the students, Messrs J. T Dimtry and David
M. Payne, which considerably interested and
amused the audience. All left the hbuse well
pleaded; only regretting that the room was too
email to accommodate comfortably the spectators
present; and many who would have attended
could not be aocommodated.at all.
"There is one gratifying feature in this exam
ination, different from any of the same character
we have attended in Liberia. It is this that
the examination in higher departments of. Greek
and Latin than we have yet witnessed, was con
ducted by a -colored man, and a oitizen of Libe
ria. it is tencouraging to see our own young men
rising up to take the places of their white
instructors, when the latter, aamoniehed that
they .cannot endure onr climate, are compelled
to leave. May great success attend the Alexen
der High School, under the tuition of Mr. E. W.
Blyden. 1
This sohool is a Presbyterian institution.
Other
.denominations of Christians have their
schools, also; and the literature of the country
being thus under a religious influence, the
promise for good morals and for the perpetuity
of a free government, is fair. Let the friends of
-colonization be cheered onward. The benefits
may be made to advance in a geometrical ratio.
Snit Against the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad was burdened by
its charter, with a tonnage tax, to be Raid to the
State on all freight carried. This tax was paid
promptly for several years. But some two years
ago, the road, under legal advice, declined pay
ment, and this being persevered in by the road,
the State entered a suit for the recovery of the
money, amounting to $9l 196 61. This snit was
lately' decided, at Harrisburg, against the road.
The 'plea of the road was, that a large por
tion of its freight waa from other States, and
that the{lonstitution of the United States pro•
hibited a State from laying a tax upon goods or
produce entering it, or passing through it, from
abroad. Judge Pearson, who presided at the
trial, said the case presented new and important
features. There bad been no decisions on the
points submitted, and•tbe law was to be now, for
the first time, expounded -and applied. He rp
garded the business of the road, not as a
" foreign , commerce," snob as the Constitution
contemplates. The tax was provided for in the
darter, and was not an impost upon foreign
goods In transit, , but a matter of compact between
the State and the Company. And all goods were
taxed,. there being no 'discrimination between
those of °Weans and aliens, nor between the pro
ducts of our own State, and those of another
clime.
He also thought it unreasonable that the road
should collect the amount of the tax, by its
freight charges, and then refuse to pay over the
money. If the citizens of other States should
object to this tax, it would alter one feature of
the case ; but for this Company, a creature of the
State, to refuse to fulfill a condition of its exist
ence, could not be allowed,
The principle involved in the case is as -impor
tant as it is new. ?diMona of dollars may be in.
volved, and the commerce between the States of
the Union is affected It embraces the true ex
position of the Constitution, the limits of State
sovereignty, and the means of replenishing State
treasuries. The case is to be carried up by ap •
peal, and •it , ie not likely to Test till it shall have
been acted upon by the highest authority, the
supreme Court of the United States.

Diseases of the Liver,
When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared that
drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth
which the experience and observation of medical
men is every day confirming. The many appar
ent]; insane excesses of those who indulge in the
use of spirituous liquors, may be thus accounted
for. The true cause of conduct, which is taken
for infatuation, is very frequently a diseased
state of the Liver. No organ in the human
system, when deranged, produces a more fright
ful catalogue of diseases. And if, instead of
applying remedies to the manifestations of dis
ease, as is too often the case, physicians would
presoribe with a view to the original cause, fewer
deaths would result from diseases induced by a
deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of
the diseases enumerated under the head of Con
sumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver.

France
The amnesty proclaimed by Louis Napoleon, on
the ocossion of his late triumphal return to Paris,
is an important and wise measure. It is an act
of nobleness toward his personal foes, and, so
far as they possess noble minds, it must attach
them to him. They arc numbered by thousands.
Many of them had been banished to Guiana.
Many had fled to England, and other parts of
Europe. Louie Blanc, and a few desperate men,
ere not included in the act of pardon, and hence
may not return. The Emperor must feel himself
strong, when he could perform this act of grace ;
and, he possessing strength enough to show this
clemency, its exercise will add to his power.
It was reported that the British Government
had congratulated the French Ambassador on the
recent political amnesty, and that Victoria ad..
dressed very warm congratulations to Napoleon
on the occasion.

after months of suffering and great debility, she passed
away from earth, as we hope, to join that blessed throng in
heaven who have washed their garments and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb. She was long an humble,
modest, and retiring member of Bethel &Utah, esteemed
and loved by all who had formed her acqu'aintance. In
her case, patience had its perfect work. She was submis
sive and resigned—her will swallowed tip in that of her (*T
enant God. her last distinct utterance, and this only
partly uttered, through want of strength, was, "0 death,
where is thy sting; 0 grave, where is thy victory," Ao.
She has left a fond husband, aged parents, brothers and
sisters, as well as other friends, to mourn her departure.
And to the bore aved 'husband it is a day of sore trouble.
For the second time has he followed the wife of his bolom,
and sharer of his joys midi smolt*, to the cold.gthve.
few years ago, his first wife was removed by disease some•
what similar, leaving three motherless children. And now
she who took the responsible place of that mother, and
fulfilled well its 'duties and reeponsibilifiee, though leaving
no children of her own, is also removed from them. And
again are they motherless in this cold and frowning world.
But the God of the motherless and orphanwilt be their God,
we trust, and guard them front those ifis And temptations
to which such are in this world often expoied. But neither
husband nor friends should mourn. The period of separa
tion will be short, and reunion glorious, As she lived, so
she died the death of the righteous, and is not, because
Jesus called her up higher.

JUST 1.1181.111E18D,
A Series of Letters,
Monolog the Points allot' Divide the Church on
Psalmody. By REV. WILLIAM ANNAN. 18mo. 88 cts.
In fourteen Letters, addressed to en "Inquiring Friend,"
all the loading arguments for the ex.:amiss , use of the
Book of Psalms, are carefully discussed, and the viewsand
usages of the Presbytellan Church are fairly stated end
vindicated. This le the only full discussion of tue subject
•which has been published.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
[From Rev. Messrs. Paxton and Howard.)
We bare perused with great pleasure,, the "Letters on
Psalmody," end are hem to express our approbation of
them. The principal arguments of those who contend fo
the exclusive use of " Rouse's Version," are fairly stated,
and completely refuted ; and whilst the theme is (Demised
with candor and vigor we aro happy to o4serve it is in an
eminently Ottristian temper. These "Letters" dii a gap
in this controversy.
A clear, brief, and courteous discussion of this whole
subject, such as is here furnished, is, in our judgment,
much needed at this time. We hope the anther will con
sent to give these "Letters" to the public, and trust they
will have an extensive circulation.
[From Rev. Dr. Plumer.]
I have no doubt the work is such as is calls / for by the
exigency of the Hems. L therefore, cordially commend it
to the perusal of "Zion's friends and mice."
•
[From Bev. Dr. Patterson.]
I vary cordially concur in the expreashns of approval
above quoted from the mono a of thw First and Second
churches of Pittsburgh, and from Dr. Plumer.
[From Rev. Dr. McKinney, Editor "Banner Banner A Advocator]
When we mention this name (the name of, the author,)
it is needless to say to most of our readers, that the subject
is treated with great ability.
To show the extent of the discussion, as well as the
course pursued, we append the following Table of
Contents: .
• LETTER I.
Introductory remarks—Origin of this work—Extract
from a letter of an inquiring friend—Unhappy stag
- gerations of our views and usages—Drs. Watts and
Latta misrepresented—Dr. Pressly formerly an the
Presbyterian platform—me views, at that time, of
the ; " traditions of the elders"—Plan ct the discus-,
Mon pursued in' this treatise.
LETTER li.
Question at issue: "Is a fair and fall version of the
whole book of Psalms of Divine appointmeitt,"—
Rouse's versification not " the pure word of God "
not a version at all, but in many parts pars
phrase" or mixture of-inspired truth with human
composition—This proved by extended quotations. SE
LETTER 111.
Discussion of previous Letter continued—Rouses ver
sification, a patchwork of human and Divine senti
ments and phraseology—Rot " the Word of God" in
the same sense in which the prose translation of
our Bible is so—Further extracts and extended par
allels to prove this,
' . LETTER
The book of Psalms never designed to be the only per.
petual and unchangeable Psalmody of the Church—
Not- so regarded by the, early Church of Scotland,
martyrs, reformers and other holy men—The exalt",

adopted even by the strictest of our opposing breth
ren—Omission - of Psalm lax': 2P—Moat of the
in spired titles excluded from Rouse—These proved
to be a part of the inspired text, by Dr. Alexander,
Home, and otheirs—i glance at the Presbyterian
doctrine of Psalmody.
' LETTER .V.
Rouse an explanatory "paraphrase," not a version
or - translation—Plot "as literal as the laws of versi
fication will allow' —& glance at the history of Eat-
tish Psalmody prior to the publication of Rouse—
"Eternbold and Hopkins" a loose paraphrase, and
haying many "Gospel turns," after the manner of
Dr. Watte=deta of ' the General - Assembly' of the
Church of Scotland authorizing Rouse call it a
"paraphrase" twenty times, but never a version—
The real question : "Shall we sing 'Rouse's para
phrase ' or Watta' paraphraser—The idea of the
Divine and exclusive authority of "a correct and
faithful version" purely a modern invention. .53
LETTER VI.
Sources whence the Itharik must derive her swags of - -
praise- 1 " All Scripture of , use to direct us "in praise
as well as "in prayer "—Our bretfiren 'hold to the
"Psalms exclusively:" all else they view as "corrup
tion of Divine worship"--Seottieh churches almost
without exception, use" other songs "—Examples of
"the Free and Established Churches," "United
Presbyterian Church," Sm.—The exclusive doctrine

Pealms continued—Dvamination of 2 Ohron. awls: 30
—Oontaino no such Divine warrant,—Tbe
eornmon ar
gument from. " the peculiar matter ,", "titles," and
"original use" of the Psalms shown to be fella•
dons—The title and matter of " Solomon's Song "
peer uraptive proof that It should be used for purposes
of praise. .

'Discussion of previous Letter continued" A .Divine
warrant" for the exclusive use of the Book of Psalms,
not found in Paul's "psalms, hymns and spiritual
song's," Coloes Hit 16—Septuagint use of the thles—
The fact that the Psalms were originally given "to
be song by the Jews. does not prove them to be
intended as an unchangeable,perpetual and exclusive
eyatem of praise—Various unsound arguments ex—
posed • •
LETTER IX.
A morl excellent way "-•' Whole word of God of me
to direct us" in praise—Act of Our General Alumni
bly—Labors of Ralph Erskine—Sentiments of "the

of the Psalms--Objections examined: " Watts wrote
