THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION,WEDNESDAY, JULY 4.
It is with sensations of deep regret, that we re
cord the death of the Rev. Samuel Worcester,
D. D. Pastor of the Tabernacle'Church, Salem,
Massachusetts. He left home some months past,
by the advice of his physicians, in order to try
the effects of a sea voyage and a southern climate
on his enfeebled health. We have learned noth
ing definite respecting the nature of his complaint
and the course he pursued except what has been
gathered from a letter written by himself and ad
dressed to Jeremiah Evarts Esq. Treasurer of the
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
This letter is published in that excellent religious
work, “ The Missionary Herald” for June last.
It was probably written in the month of February
while the vessel was ascending the river Mississip
pi from its mouth to New Orleans. His passage
from Boston to this place which was a very severe
one, was performed in the month of January, and
had an Unfavourable effect upon his health. But
he still cherished some expectations of deriving
hitnefit from his undertaking : “1 am not,” says he,
“ without a growing hope, and perhaps an ill
founded and presumptuous one, that by the favour
of Him, who has supported me in many times of
distress, my naturally elastick constitution will
yet recover itself, and the heavy pressure, which
pn boaral the vessel it has sustained, will ultimate
ly conduce to its reparation. If my gracious
Master and Lord has any thing more for me to do
in this world, I shall live to do it; if not, why
should ni}’ health be restored ?”
It seems that these hopes of a restoration rested
not upon a solid basis. At Natchez under date of
March the 23d, he was so low a* to employ an
amanuensis to write the envelope of the letter
alluded to above. From this plare, after being
detained for some days by severe indisposition,
he proceeded to Elliot, the. Missionary station
wijtong the Choctaws. We have been informed
by a gentleman recently from the Cherokee Na
tion, that he was-carricd, in the last stages of his
disease, to Brainerd where he terminated a few
weeks since, his earthly course. These are all
the particulars we have yet been able to collect
respecting his journey, the nature and progress of
his disease, and the time and circumstances of his
death.
In the death of a great and good ruan, there 19
something peculiarly affecting; we involuntarily
start and look around us when such a providence
is announced, feel anew impulse to the discharge
of duty, and anticipate the summons which will
soon bring vs to the decisive retributions of eter
nity. In the death of Dr. Worcester these sensa
tions will be deeply and extensively experienced
by the Christian Church. He has long been de
servedly considered one of the pillars of Ameri
can piety. His talents, his information, and hi s
zeal for the enlargement and prosperity of the
kingdom of Christ, were far above tiie common
order, and such as are rarely found combined in
any individual. For many years past he has been
intimately connected with the grand schemes of
Christian philanthropy formed incur own country
for the spread of the Gospel among the heathen ;
and as Corresponding Secretary of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, his
name and exertions will long be cherished by the
churches both of America and, Europe. Few
individuals of our race fall the victims of death
and a,re consigned to the grave without wringing
some bosom with anguish ; —but in the removal
of such a man as Dr. Worcester, the church and
tire world-may well monrn, for they both sustain a
heavy loss. On this occasion his afflicted family
and congregation are not the only sufferers. The
cause of evangelical truth has lost an advocate
who contended earnestly for the faith once deliver
ed to the saints, and the poor Heathen have buri
ed a friend who, in connexion with kindred spirits,
has already done them much good.
When such men are cut down, surviving Minis
lerjfand Christians are apt to feel a momentary
discouragement—are ready to consider the loss
irreparable—and to suppose that the Church
must sustain an essential and permanent injury
from afflictive providences of this description.
And these feelings and apprehensions might well
be entertained, if the power to which we look for
ultimate success in the kingdom of Christ, were
lodged in human hands. But there is another
view of this subject which is calculated to quiet
thee apprehensions, and to inspire hope—another
and brighter side of the picture upon which it is
our duty and happiness sometimes to fix the eye.
The instrumentality of creatures is no farther
necessary in the administration of Divine Govern
ment, than Infinite Wisdom choosesand when
one set of instruments have accomplished their
destined labour, they are laid aside, and others
raised up to prosecute the same plans of benevo
lence and mercy. All these providences, how
ever dark, or mysterious, or afflictive, are directed
by the unerring hand of God ; and the full and
firm conviction, that the Judge of all the earth
skill do right, should inspire us not only with sub
mission but with hope. It is the appointment of
Heaven, that man should die ; and from this uni
versal doom—from the operation of this irresisti
ble decree, no talents however brilliant, no erudi
tion however profound, and no piety however
elevated, can for a single moment exempt their
possessors. There is something so truly melan
choly in this general wreck of human nature, that
the eye will often tVecp and the bosom heave an
involuntary sigh oyer the ruins which sin and
death have made, in this fallen world. The only
consolation which presents itself amidst this sur
rounding gloom, is derived from the Gospel of
Christ. The.re are we assured of the immortality
of the soul, and of appropriate rewards both for
thwjghteous and the wicked. Aided by this, we
can look beyond the isthmus of death, and see
the departed servants of Christ crowned with
light and, encircled with glory—and from their
lips we may hear the sting of heavenly triumph,
’i'orthy is the Lamb that was slain.

COLONIZATION OP AFRICA.
The Agents of the United States for captured
Africans, and of the American Colonization Soci
ety, who went out from this country in February
last, have transmitted tq Washington the most
gratifying intelligence of their reception at Sierra
Leone, and of the general state of the colony un
der their care. The British governour of Sierra
Leone, his officers and people, had shewn them
much kindness and attention ; and an offer of
any part of the Crown Lands, not otherwise ap
propriated, had been made to the agents for the
use of the colonists during the rainy season, or
until they could establish themselves on lands of
their own. Mr. Bacon, one of the agents, had
sailed down the coast with a view to select some
suitable situation for a permanent settlement;
and several places have been named as affording
a prospect, not only of enjoying health, but of
establishing a colony which would,in a fevv years,
be enabled to open an extensive and lucrative
trade with theU. States, It is stated in the Na
tional Intelligencer, that “ the agents speak of
the climate and country as exceeding th eir ex
pectations ; that there is no difficulty in accom
plishing the objects of the Society by prudence
and perseverance, and that there was not a doubt
in the mind of any person in Africa, with whom
they had conversed, on the subject.” The colo.
nists themselves were highly pleased with the
country, and with the prospect which was before
them of realizing all that they expected when
leaving America. Letters from two of them will
be found on the last page of this paper. Eleven
of the people from Sherbro had joined the new
settlers and signed the Constitution. No deaths
had occurred among these people since the first
fatal sickness. Arrangements were making to
carry away the stores from Sherbro, and such of
the colonists as might be disposed to sign the con
stitution of the new colony. Mrs. Winn, wife of
one of the agents, was actively employed in in
structing the captured Africans who were sent
out in the Nautilus, and they had made conside
eruble progress under her tuition.
Thus, we have not only rescued these unfor
tnnate victims of avarice and cruelty from servi
tude, but we have restored them, at the publick
expense, to the bosom of that country from which
they had been unfeelingly torn—we have done
more—we have instructed them in letters and
civilization; we have imparted to their dark and
pagan minds the light of revelation, and
taught them to build upon the ruins of a senseless
idolatry , the firm fabrick of Christian hope.—
Every true American cannot but feel an honest
and elevated pride in that glory which so exalted
and philanthropick an undertaking must confer
upon his country—a glory which has nothing to
do with the pride or pomp or ravages of war—
which a thousand defeats cannot tarnish, nor a
thousand victories increase—a glory whose lustre
will survive the desolations of time. In this no
ble work the State of Georgia has taken a decided
and active part. It ought not to be forgotten,
that by a special act of her Legislature, thirty
four Africans, who had been illegally introduced
within our limits, were placed at the disposal of
the Colonization Society, to be restored to their
friends and country ; and who, but for this hu
mane interposition, must have been doomed to
perpetual bondage. In addition to this, many of
our citizens have cheerfully and liberally contrib
uted to the funds of the Society.
The attempt to colonize Africa with a portion
of the free blacks of this country, and with such
of the slave population as may, from time to time,
be emancipated by their owners, together with
those unfortunate beings whom our laws may res
cue from the holds of slave-ships and the grasp of
lawless plunderers, was made by too many
of our wisest and most distinguished citizens to
admit of much doubt but that something would
be done. There were, indeed, numerous difficul
ties to encounter and prejudices to overcome, be
fore any considerable effort could be made ; but
many of these obstacles have been happily sur
mounted, and the friends of African colonization
have now additional inducement to go forward
and carry into mo-e complete effect, that great
and exalted scheme of benevolence, which, with
the blessing of heaven, shall convert barren
wastes into fruitful fields, wild and savage barba
rians into civilized and intelligent freemen, igno
rant and besotted heathen into enlightened and
rational Christians. A powerful and salutary ef
fect can hardly fail of being soon produced upon
the natives, wherever a well regulated colony of
civilized blacks shall be established, particularly if
a judicious course of policy is pursued by the set
tlers. On this point, however, there can be little
reason to fear, as both the Government and the
Society have no doubt selected men to manage
the concerns of the iufant establishment in whom
the greatest confidence may be placed, and who
will, as far as human agency can avail, use the
best exertions to effect (he objects of their mission. |
It can now hardly be thought visionary, to an- ‘
ticipate, that a great moral revolution will be ef
fected in Africa at no very distant day. The at
tention of Christian nations has within a few
years been directed, with more than ordinary in
terest, to that long neglected and long abused 1
quarter of the world. The reports of travellers
and missionaries who have explored her regions
of desolation, and witnessed the dreadful degra- i
dation of her inhabitants, have called upon the
nations of Christendom in a language which can
not be misunderstood or disregarded, to repair the
wrongs and heal the wounds which, for whole ■
centuries past, they have been inflicting, with
iron .hands and marble hearts, upon her suffering
and defenceless population. England has al- I
ready done much in the business of reparation,
and she will do more. America has enlisted in j
the great work with azeal and activity worthy of I
her character, her intelligence and her resources ;!
and we trust that the little colony which she is
now planting, will flourish and expand until the 1
remotest desert where a human footstep can be
traced, shall experience the redeeming influence
of civilization and Christianity —until “ myriads of
freemen, while they course the margin of the
Gambia and the Senega), the Congo /md the Ni- *
19
ger, shall sing in the language which records the
constitution, laws and history of America, hymns
of praise to the common Parent of man.”
In the last Missionary, we stated same partic
ulars respecting a duel which recently took place
near Milledgeville. From the subjoined letter,
we infer that a construction has been put upon
certain expressions used by us, which we were
far from intending. We did say, respecting the
duel, as we had been informed, that it “ took
place within hearing of the town, of the capitol,
and the governour’s house”—but we intended to
express our views of the bold effrontery of the
combattants, and not to convey an insinuation
that his Excellency Governour Clark had been
remiss in his duty. We are truly gratified to
learn that Anderson has been arrested.
The well known fact, that duelling has long
been winked at, would still, in our estimation,
justify the interrogation in our remarks on this af
fair, “ When will,” &c.
Milledgeville, Jifly 2, 1821.
Gentlemen,
By your last paper I see you make some obser
vations on a duel that occurred near this place
a few days since, and state that it was within
hearing of the Governour’s house ; and that the
majesty of the law should not be violated with
iinpuriily. For your information, and your read
ers’ also, I now state to yon that Mr. Anderson
arrived here in the last mail stage, and was ar
rested a few minutes after his arrival by the di
rection of the Governour.
I give you this information that yon may publish
it, to let the people know, that his Excellency is
not disposed to let the laws be insulted, the ag
gressor being now bound to appear at the next
court for this county.
The gentleman who enclosed a Theatre Bill
to the Editors of this paper from Milledgeville, is
informed that his attention and politeness are du
ly appreciated ; and, for his particular satisfaction,
is assured, that we paid 18 3-4 cents for the
favour.
COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. Editors,
Journeying lately in the Cherokee Nation, I
was favoured with an opportunity of gratifying a
wish which had been long entertained, by visit
ing Brainerd, with some of the other missionary
stations in that country. I cannot but think a
visit to that interesting spot, calculated to awa
ken in the benevolent mind, some of the noblest
feelings of our nature.
The affirmative of the question which has here
tofore been considered as problematical, whether
those tawny sons of the forest can be civilized and
evangelized, is becoming more and more probable
by the confirmation of fact and experiment. The
advancement already made in this work is by no
means inconsiderable. This would appear alone,
(though other things shew it) from the flourishing
state of the schools and the friendly disposition
generally possessed by the natives towards them.
There were in the school at Brainerd, when 1 was
thereabout an hundred scholars. Most of them
could read in the Testament; some of them wrote
a fair hand, aud several were advanced in arith
| metick and geography. I was with them on the
Sabbath. Their appearance was becoming in
every respect. They were cleanly in their per
sons, decent in their dress, and decorous, to more,
methought, than an ordinary degree, in their be
haviour.
To the preaching of the word (which in the
morning was in English, and the evening in Cher
okee by an interpreter) they listened with fixed
attention. Towards sunset they met a third
time, to attend catechetical exercises. The ques
tions, comprising the fundamental doctrines of
1 our religion, were answered with surprising promp
i titude and correctness ; and, as would appear,
’ quite intelligibly to themselves. They sung many
i hymns which they had committed to memory,
mostly in English, but some in their native
tongue.
Few, it is believed, could listen to their singing
without the mingled emotions of surprise and de
! light. To hear the praises of Immanuel resound
! from the tongues of the youthful descendants of
! those wild inhabitants of the woods, and that with
I a melody of voice and justness of performance 1
| which can scarcely be excelled, if equalled, by
| those of equal age in civilized and improved soci-j
| ety ; —to hear them chant the high praises of the |
j Redeemer in their own Cherokee language, that!
their parents and kindred may join in the song of!
Zion with the heart and understanding, must
give scope, in the benevolent soul, to the exercise
of feelings which princes might envy.
The writer does not expect, nor design, to com
municate facts unknown to the publick. But is
the tone of feeling among the Christian publick in
our country sufficiently elevated toward this cause
of humanity ? Ought not this cause, founded on
the pure principles of good will towards the abo
rigines of our country, carried on through hard
ships,privations and perils, and dependent for sup
port on the charities of a Christian community, to
receive those succours which are necessary to con
duct its operations with vigour and success ? If
solicitations of charity are frequent and pressing,
it is to be recollected that the demands for them
are not less so ; and to what use can the gifts of
Heaven be better applied than in lending what is
not needful for ourselves, to the Lord? Who
would not think his property well disposed of, by
being bestowed in charity, if he could by that
means deserve to have inscribed on bis tomb
stone, the epitaph of Athos of Rheims:—“ He ex
ported his fortune before him into Heaven by his
charities; he has gone thither to enjoy them.”
’ ForeignandDomestick Intelligence.
VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.
j The ship Hercules, arrived at New York, in
\ 30 days from Liverpool, has brought English pa
pers to thq 17th of May. We select the following
paragraphs from the N. Y. Com. Advertiser.
The Church Missionary and British and Foreign ,
Bible Societies, had their aniversaries the second
i week in May, at Free Mason’s Tavern ; the meet
ings were numerously attended, and the proceed
ings, as usual, highly interesting. Lord Gambler
filled the chair at the former, and Lord Tejg n .
mouth at the Bible Society. Christianity is -ep
resented as making considerable progress in India
and other parts of the heathen world.
Prince Ypsilanti, who is at the head of the
Greek insurrection, is a very gallant officer. He
was wounded by the side of General Moreau, at
the Battle of Dresden ; the same bullet that
struck the General, carried away Ypsilauti’a left
hand.
‘lhe Hecla, and Fury, discovery ships, and the
Nautilus transport, sailed from the Nore on Tues
day morning, the Bth of May, with a fine breeze
S. S. W. The best wishes of their own country
men, and of the friends of science, every where
attend them.
The papers furnish us with but few items of
intelligence from the continent. In regard to
Greece, accounts through Trieste state that a
large armed Greek vessel had arrived there from
Patras, in the Morea, for the purpose of
purchasing arms and ammunition. She left Patras
on the 4th of April, with statements of open war
having taken place between the Turks and
Greeks. A general insurrection was expected in
the Morea, on the 6th of April. The Turks set
fire to the Greek church in Patras, but they were
compelled by the Greeks to retreat to the citadel.
The bishop of Ephesus had taken the field at the
head of a great body of Greeks. The Pacha of
the Morea has stopped his march against Ali
Pacha. The inhabitants of the lonian Islands
sympathize in the Greek insurrection, particular
ly those of Zante. The German journals men
tion tliht several foreign officers have proceeded
to Moldavia, to offer their services to Prince Ypsi
lanti. There appears to be some degree of dis
sention between the two chieftains in Moldavia.
Theodore Wladmiskor aims only at a recovering
from the Porte tiie rights formerly granted to his
countrymen, while Prince Ypsilanti has for his
object the complete emancipation of the Greeks.
If the Porte arrange with Theodore, and set
hounds to the exactions of the Hospodars, it is
thought that Wallachia will be tranquillized, and
that Ypsilanti will not be able to maintain himself
in Moldavia.
The immediate result of the union of the forces
of Theodore, and those of Prince Ypsilanti, at
Wallachia, was the creation of a council or gov
ernment for civil administration and the supply
of the army, which is said to be 60,000 strong,
encamped on the banks of the Danube, near
Bucharest. The decision of the council author
ized the casting of the bells of the numerous mon
asteries, in these districts, into cannon, and in
Moldavia the first cannon were actually cast of
bells of the churches.
Letters from Paris of a lase date vaguely report
that the insurgent Greeks had sustained a signal
defeat near Bucharest, where they were unex
pectedly attacked by the Turks.
Austria. —Accounts received at Paris from Vi
enne. to the 25th of April say, “ an Edict has ap
peared, ordering the levying of 150,000 conscripts.
Such a levy at this moment, after the declaration
of the Marquis of Londonderry, that the Russian
troops had been ordered to halt, and had not
crossed the frontiers, the Liverpool Mercury says,
is an unaccountable measure.
Spain. —The accounts from Madrid to the 24th
nit. state that on account of the movements that
have taken place in the northern provinces, ex
treme measures have been resorted toby the gov
ernment. In the Castiles troops have been as
sembled. The Empecinado was sent to disperse
the insurgents in Burgos, who at Salveterra amoun
ted to 400 men. At Malaga the authorities arres
ted 8 suspicious persons; and at Grenada 11 per
sons were put into confinement,all persons of res
i pectability. At Seville,Oviedo, and other places,
1 persons of rank, chiefly connected with the eccle
! siastical establishments have been seized and im
| prisoned. In Salvatierra, in the province Alba,
j not far from the boundary of Navarre, the insur-
I gents, consisting chiefly of fanaticks and raarau
• der9 headed by friars have been dispersed ; many
| of them having been killed, and many more woun
( ded. The priests have in vain attempted to raise
lan insurrection in Biscay.
Florida Commissioners.— The Board of Com
j missionsrs for the settlement of the Florida claims,
I met on the 14th inst. and adjourned to meet again
’ on the 10th of September next, then to determine
( the claims which may have been offered.
Indian Outrages. —The Arkansas Gazette
states; that a party of four hundred Osage Indians,
headed by nine of their chiefs, appeared before
Fort Scott, on the 9th of April, demanding ammu -
nition and Provision. This being denied, they
evinced an intention of attacking the Fort; but
by the prompt display of bis artillery by Lieut.
Scott, the commanding officer, they relinquished
their design. They then left the fort, and com
menced plundering the inhabitants in the vicinity
,of Lee’s Creek and the Pcto. No while persons
have been killed, but forcible measures were re
sorted to, to compel the surrender of horses, &c.
! The Osages state, that the Sacs and Foxes have
joined them, and that they shortly intend to make
- an attack upon the Cherokees.
| The Grand Canal. —The Albany Daily Advert
J tiser states that the progress made in this stupen
\ dous undertaking surprises and astonishes its ad
vocates and friends—enemies it has none It
: advances with giant strides towards the Hudson,
!to unite its waters with those of Champlain. Al
! ready it approaches the city of Schenectady, and
I the excavations will soon be carried on within 5
! miles of that oity, and progressing forward. A
few weeks, and the citizens of Albany will wit
ness this work commencing and progressing in
their own neighbourhood, probably within the
limits of the city.
Twelve sail of American fishermen have been
captured by a British gun brig in the Bay of Fun
dy, said to be for infraction of the treaty.
