The English Language in Liberia,*
One third of a century ago, we recollect
reading in the columns of the National in
telligencer, a very spirited Address in be
half of the Colonization cause, from that
noble r philanthropist and patriot, General
Charles Fent:On Mercer, of Virginia. A
paragraph or two of that address were de
voted by its distinguished author to the'
prediction of the English language becom
ing predominant over vast regions of West
ern and Central Africa, by means of the
feeble Colony of American people of color,
then just establiihed' ,there. Doubtless
many who then read the glowing sentences
of Gen. Mercer, were inclined to set down
his enthusiastic ardor in that prediction as
the vaticination of a weak minded devotee.
So early, howeyer, we have lived,to see his
prophecy fulfilled' Yea, .more, this very
point has been seized by a July Orator of
Liberia, as a fitting topic for an address.
intended and very well adapted to enlist
the deep interest and the patriotic enthusi
asm of the citizens of that new Republic.
The author of the address is himself a no
ble speciinen of the colored Yace. Of un
mixed African blood, he is a standing re
buke to those who choose to :declaim.• about
their,native inferiority. After improving
such advantazes as he could secure conve-
niently in this, the country of his birth,
he determined to avail himself of one of
the Universities of England, and gradu
ated respectably at Cambridge. Admitted
to sacred orders, ,he repaired ; promptly to
Liberia as a missitiriaii, ands-has there ren
dered. important, services as a ripe scholar
and a zealous minister of Christ to the
cause of sound learning and piety in his
adopted country.
Former communications from his facile
pen have often -found A place in our col
umns; and we took up' this address (print
ed by Baum & Co., New-York,) with
cheering anticipations, which havd been
more than realized in its perusal. It forms
a highly respectable pamphlet of thirty
two pages octavo, in which the author dis
cusses his novel' but very appropriate
theme with,marked ability. It "is as mod
ea,t.,as,it is .scholarly and able, avoiding all:
undue loftiness of assumption; and deduct

duties and obligations of the Liberians, of
deepest significance and importance :

:without the bitter trial of hopeless strug
gles, bloody strife,. heart-breaking despair,
wrong and death! Even so we. But, this
li t ; it remembered, is a common incident in
history, pertitining to almost every nation
on 'earth... Examine all the old histories of
men—thehistories of Egypt, China, Greece,
Rome and England—and in every case, as
in ours, their language reveals the fact of
conquest and subjection. 'But this fact of
humiliation seems to have been one of those
ordinances of Providence, designed as a
means for the introauction of new ideas
into the language of a people; or to serve,
as• tho transitional step from low degrada
tion to a higher and nobler civilization."
He then discusses,somewhat fully, the
advantages derived rom the exchange of
the whole class of native languages, harsh,
abrupt, indistinct in enunciation, meagre,
abounding in guttural sounds with few in
flections and exceedingly difficult of acqui
sition; characterized by looseness of ideas,
lacking those- terms expressive of virtue,
moral truth and the distinctions of right
and wrong, of justice, laws, human rights,
Governmental order; and even those super
nal truths of a present Deity—the moral
government of God, immortality—the judg
ment and everlasting blessedness. What .
is it, he asks, for five millions of Anglo-
Africans to exchange such language for the
English, marked, as the author says, with
these prominent peculiarities, which we
prefer to give in his own words.
" The English language then, I appre
hend, is:liiiarked by, thesiii i promibent peen

and patoer., -
" The English _ iscothposed chiefly of
simple, , terse arid forcible,- one 'and 'two syl
labled words; which make it incomparahle
fol.' simplicity and .intelligibleness. The
bulk•of;those words are the rich remains
of the old_Saxon tongue, whichis the,main
stream, whence his - flowed over to ns`the
affluence Of the English language. It is
this element which gives it force, preci
sion, directness and boldness; making it a
fitchanner for the decided thoughts of men
of common sense, of honest minds and
downright f sharacte.r. „Let i onycne take up
the Bible, the Prayer-Book, a volume of
hymns of any class of Christians, the com
mon proverbs, the popular sayings—which
strike deep into the hearts of men , and flow
over in their spontaneous
. utterances; and
he will see everywhere these features of
force, perspicuity and directness. Nor is
it ivanting in beauty, elegance, and majesty;
for, to a considerable extent, this same Sax
on element furnishes these qualities: but
the English, being a composite language,
these attractions and commanding elements
are bestowed upon it, in fullness, by those
other affluent streams which contribute to
its wealth, and which go : to' make up its
' well of English undefiled.'
" Again. the English language is char
acteristically- the language of freedom. I
know that there is a sense- in which this
love of liberty is inwrought in the. very
fibre and substance of the body and blood
of all people; but the flame burns dimly
in some 'races;-it- is a fitful fire in soine
others; and in many inferior people it is
the flickering light of a dying candle.
But in the English races it is an ardent,
healthy, vital, irrepressible flame; and
withal normal and orderly in its develop
ment. Go back to the early periods of this
- people's history, to the times when the
whole of Europe seemed lost in the 'night
of ignerance and dead to the faintest pulses
of liberty—trace the stream of the descent
from : the days.-
of Alfred to the present
time, and mark how they have ever, in law,
legislation and religion, in poetry and ora
tory, in philosophy and literature, assumed
that OppressiOn was an abnormal and a
monstrous thing! How when borne down
by tyrannous restraint, or lawless arbitrary
rule, discontent and resistance have
, 141oveckiu the chambers of their soul.'
" Ho* when misrule became organic and
seated, tyranny unreasoning and obstinate,
they have demonstrated to all the world,
how trifling a thing is the tenure of tyrants,
how resistless and invincible is the free
spirit of a nation !
"And now look at this people—scat
tered, in our own' day, all over the globe,.
in the Great Republic, in numerous settle
ments and great colonies, themselves the
germs of mighty empires; see how they
have carried with them everywhere, on
earth, the seine -high, masterful, majestic
spirit, of freedom, which gave their ances
tors for long generations, in their island
heine, •
-' The thews'of Anakin,
The pulses of a Titan's heart;'
and which makes them giants among what
ever people they settle, ,whether in. Amer
ica, India, or Africa, distancing all other
rivalries and competitors.
" .And ifttiAthere 'how this 'spirit, like
the freshets of some mighty Oregon,_ rises
t •
above aridilows over their own crude and
distorted obliquities. Some of these ob
liquities are prominent. Of all races =of
men, none I weep, are so domineering, none
have a stronger, more exclusive spirit of
caste, none have a more contemptuous dis
like of inferiority ; and yet in this race,
the ancient spirit of freedom rises higher
than their repugnances. It impels them
to conquer even their prejudices; and

pointing outthetmain feataires
of the, English language, I must not fail to
state its Peculiar identity with religion. For
centuries this language has been baptized
in the spirit of the Christian faith. To this
faith it owes; most of its ; growth 'from a
state of rudeness and crudity to its present
visor, fullness, and expressiveness. ,. It is
this moreover. which has preserved its itiz
tegrity, and kept it from degenerating into
barren poverty on the.one hand, or luxuri
ant weakness on the . other. The English

tural translation, its earliest stammerings
in fervent prayers, holy Primers, and sa
cred minstrelsy. That when the Press un
folded its leaves, its first pages were verna
cular-readings of the Word of Orod. From
thence ever since, as from a fountain-head,
- has flowed a mixed stream of thought and
genius and talent, in all the departments
of science, of law and of learning: but the
whole has been colored and leavened,.a.nd
formed by and under the plastic influence
of Christianity. The Bible and its pre
cepts,' has been the prompting spirit of its
legal statutes, its constitutional compacts,
its scientific ventures, its, poetic flights, its
moral edicts. But above and beyond all
these, this language has delighted to ex
.pand and express itself in Tracts and -Tales
and Allegories; in Catechisms and Homi
lies and Sermons; in heavenly. Songs, sa
cred Lyrics, and divine Epias ; in Liturgies
and Treatises, and glowing Apologies for
the Faith; sweeping along in a pure and
gracious flood, which in the end shall empty
itself into a blessed eternity !"
In the next general division of his ad
dress, kir Crummell gave good reasons for
believing that this language is destined to
a wide extension and great perpetuity
throughout all Africa. This'we must omit.
Be then derives some practical deductions,
of which we have room but for the heads.
" Ist. Then I would say, that inasmuch
as the English language is the great lingual
inheritance God has given us for the future;
let us take heed to use all proper endeavors
to preserve it here in purity, 'simplicity•; and
correctness. We have peculiar need to
make this effort, both on account of our cir
cumstances and our defieienies. In our
schools we must aim to give our children a
thorough and sqund training, in, the simple
elements' of common school 'education. In
stead of the too common effort to make phi
losophers out of babes, and savans out of
sucklings, let us be content to give our
children correctness, accuracy and thor
oughness, In readiii,g;
' writirir,
arithmetic and geography. But besides
this, COMMON SCHOOL education must needs
be made more general, superior masters se
cured, and the necessities of the case be put
more directly within the coutrol of the citi
zens, than it is at present. In addition to
the above, let every responsible man in the
country—and by responsible man, I mean
Government Officers, Ministers, Teachers
and Parents—strive to introduce among our
youthful citiz'eni a' sound and elevating EN
GLIS H .
"13nt besides the correct training of the
young, I beg to insist upon the great neces
sity of special care being bestowed upon the
culture of the female mind, in Liberia. I
feel that I cannot. exaggerate the import
ance of this duty. The'mothers, sisters
and daughters of the land are to train the
whole of the rising generation now growing
up around us, down, forever, through all
the deep, dim vistas ages.
"2. The subject we have been consider
irm, teaches the duty:c:l - 1. National care and
effort, that our heathen neighbors be trained
to the spirit, moral sentiments, and practi
cal genius of the language we are giving
them.
• "3. Finally let us aim,•byevery.possible
means, to make indigenous, in this infant
country, the spirit and genius of the Eiig
lish language, in immediate.connexion with
its idiom."

Civility and morality, without sanctity,

Tertullian saith to young women if

Piety, the satin of Sanctity, and the pur

suitor to them.
He that made man without - himself,
will not save man without himself.
Endeavors without God cannot, God
without endeavors will not, save any man.
God is lovely in all his creatures, more
lovely in his ordinances, but, most of all
lovely in Christ, who is altogether lovely.

The creaking wagon's in the shed,
The busy flail is heard no more,
The horse is littered down and fed,
The harness hangs above his head,
The whip behind the door.'
Hisleatherin'glOves and looked bill
To-day the woodman throws aside ;
The blacksmith's fiery forge is still,
The 'wooden wheel of the' old mill
Slees'by the mill-dam wide.
The miller's boat is anchored where,
•
Far, out, the water lilies sleep;
You see their shadows mirrored there,
The broad White flowers reflected clear,
Within the mill-pond deep.
The harrow',s in the garden shed,
Hoe, rake, and spade are put away ;
Thiweeded stands the onion bed,
The gardener thin' his work hath fled;
'T is holy-Sabbath day.
Upon the wall the white cat sleeps,
By which the churn and milk-pansUe
A drowsy watch the house-dog keeps,
And scarcely• from hislull eye peeps
Upon the passer-by.
And sweetly over hill and dale
The silvery-sounding church bells ring
Across the, moor and down the dale
They come and go, and on the gale
Their Sabbath .tidings fling.
Prom where the - white-washed Sabbath School
Peeps out between the poplars dim,
Which ever throw their shadows cool
Far out upon 'the rushy pool,
You hear the Sabbath hymn.
From farm and field, and grange grown.gray ;
From .woodlandwalks and winding ways,
The old and young, the:grave and gay,
Unto the old church come to pray,
And sing God's holy:praise.
