CONST ITUTIONAIST.

SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, jB6S.
THE FBEEDMEN—LIBEBIA,
The desire of many thousands of freed
men to leave the South, and settle perma
nently in Liberia, is a proof that the more
sensible of the negro population understand
the feeble tenure of the political privileges
they now enjoy. These unfortunate beings
have a well-grounded apprehension of the
evils in store for them, and reveal an anx
ious longing to preserve elsewhere the
independence that may be forfeited in Ame
rica. They are not ignorant of the fact
that the Radicals are using them as instru
ments of vengeance against the Southern
whites, and feel that, in the course of time,
this hammering process must bring them
to disaster. Neither are they deceived as
to the status of Northern blacks. It is
presentj to their minds, and must be pain
fully impressive, that the treatment their
race receives at the North is far less court
eous than that manifested to them at the
South. At the North, they would be shun
ned, excluded from factories, driven from
profitable avocations and suffrage, abused
and maltreated in every proscriptive way.
They know that Rochester, New York, is,
or was, a goodly Radical town, and yet,
the son-in-law of the noted Fred Doug
lass, attempting to run a hack, had his ve
hicle destroyed and barely escaped with his
life.
Strange glimpses arc entering the suspi
cious minds of the negro that all this hurly
burly in his favor is a deceitful sham cov
ering sonic foul design against him. From
such outspoken oracles as Helper it is
dimly dawning that abolitionism, however
it may in part have originated in hatred of
the Southern whites, concealed beneath its
mask of philanthropy the features of a grim
conspiracy against the very existence of
the blacks. As long as the negroes were
slaves and under the guardianship of their
masters, it was impossible to be rid of them.
Once freed, though it cost millions of lives
and treasure, the task, though difficult, ceas
ed to be beyond the power of accomplish
ment. It may lie asked by the incredulous,
“ why does the North wish tlic negro to be
destroyed?” The answer is ready, and
found in the fact that the people up there
are becoming crowded and struggle for an
outlet. That outlet which formerly opened
Westward has become measurably clogged,
aud when the great hiveswarms again,it will
undoubtedly swarm Southward. And when
it gathers, as it is bound to do, irresistible
momentum, it will sweep the poor negro be
fore it without mercy aud without
tenderness. This approaching destiny,
which numbers of the black people have
already foreseen, might have been procras
tinated, or forbidden, had the masses of the
negro population united with their former
masters and help Peat back the threat
ening invasion which is even now with dif
ficulty and much dexterity restrained. It is
almost too late now. What with the ef
forts of Congress, the energies of the Bu
reau and the sinister manipulations of the
carpet-baggers, the breach between the two
races has widened Into a great gulf, and
when the signal shall have been given at
the North to begin the irruption, the anni
hilation of the blacks by their deceitful
friends will become a matter of compara
tive ease. They will be pushed from place
to place and tortured as only a Puritan
knows how to torture; and, if inclined to
stubbornness, the sword will be invoked to
begin its bloody meal.
Dreading this condition of affairs in the
future and penetrated by some mysterious
warnings of its approximation, thousands
of freedmen are, this day, looking forward
to a haven of refuge, and, by a natural in
stinct, this haven is— Liberia. To show
that this is no cunning device of party or
the fruit of imagination, we call attention
to the following article from the Philadel
phia Ledger. It says:
“At this time there are are more than two
thousand freedmen who, after careful thought,
have offered themselves to the Colonization
Society, and are appealing to it lor aid in trans
porting them to Liberia, with their households.
Oue of these petitions comes lrom Marion
Georgia, and says, ‘forty of us are lendin;
camp life, so as to be ready to start at any time.
We will he ruined if you cannot take us.'
Another letter from Eulaula, Alabama, signed
by A. E. Williams, and two hundred others,
with their families, says,‘Wc would like to
embark for Liberia in May, ISG3, if we can be
accommodated.’ Another company, at Colum
bus, Georgia, writes that they are camping out
tents until the time comes lor embarking for
Liberia, and says that there arc araoug them
some splendid workmen—one of them ‘can
make almost anything lrom a saw mill to a
steamboat.’ This movement now seems to
have originated with the freedmen themselves,
and appeals are daily comiug, hopiug and wait
ing for favorable answers, lrom Tennessee,
Mississippi and the Carolines. A great up
heavel has taken place in the minds of the
colored people ol the South, and many of the
moat intelligent aud educated of them long to
go where they can develop themselves, and
le&lize those conceptions oi civilization aud
Christianity which they have formed here.”
The establishment of Liberia seems, un
der the circumstances, to have been an in
spiration of Providence to save the relics
of the negro race, of such of the race who
do not wish to rush madly upon ultimate
destruction. The Colonization Society has
done everything in its power to further the
aspiratious of those who prefer the certain
ty of Liberia to the vicissitudes of the
United States; but its means are limited
and not at all commensurate with the de
mands made upon its charity. A circu-:
lar from the Board of Directors runs thus r
“Two thousand frcedmen are pleading for
the means of emigrating to the land from
which their ancestors were brought by vio
lence and fraud to be slaves of strangers.
Their applications lor an early passage, with
the names of such as are heads of families; and
of many others, are now before the American
Colonization Society. The society has done
nothing to procure these applications. The
treedmen themselves have made them, self
moved, because, after satisfactory inquiry and
deliberate consultation, they prefer that coun
try to this as a permanent home for themselves
and their posterity. They know, by correspon
dence with relatives and friends who have pre
ceded them, and by oilier means, that there is
the Republic of Liberia, of which only persons
Os African descent are citizens; well and
peacefully governed, for twenty years past, by
elected rulers of their own race ; acknowledged
as a free, sovereign, aud independent nation by
all the leading powers of Europe and America,
and having treaties of peace, amity, and com
merce with many ol them; with a prolific
soil, and a climate pleasant aud salubrious to
persons of African descent, native or accli
mated ; with its churches, schools, and col
lege, its ablest men having been educated there;
and with fertile land enough lor their support
awaiting their gratuitous acceptance on their
arrival.
“ This current of emigration commenced al
most immediately on the termination of the
civil war, aud has beeu gainiug strength and
extent as time has given the freedmeu oppor
tunity to collect information and consider it.
Powerful influences have beeu coDstanliy em
ployed to arrest it by those who wish to avail
themselves of their presence in this country ;
yet the desire spreads and increases to go to
the land whence their fathers were brought to
serve white men ; the land where they can live
aud develop all their faculties, and educate
their children, free from the overshadowing
presence of a more natnerons, more wealthy
and more highly educated race.
“An nnnsnal proportion of these applicants
are persons of established Christian character,
who hope, while improving their own condi
tion and that of their posterity, to promote
Christianity and civilization in the land of their
ancestors. For this work they are better fit
ted, by their physical organization and consan
guinity with the natives, than men of any other
race can be, and better fitted, morally and in
tellectually, than any other class of men of
their own race now are or ever have been.
And the experience of centuries has shown
that there is little hope of doing this work at
all except by colonizing Africa with civilized
Christian men of African descent.”
The government of the United States and
those rich humanitarians who pretend so
much sympathy for this people should re
lax no effort to supply the deficiencies of
the Society and assist the freedmeu in their
laudable design. We read, not long since,
that the Freedmen’s Bureau had an unex
pended balance of several millions on hand.
Why not appropriate this money for the
benefit of those who voluntarily seek re
moval from the turbulence of America to
the tranquil abodes of their ancestral
homes ? Does it not appear to be the re
finement of cruelty to keep them here un
willingly ; or does the Northern politician
prefer that they should starve rather than
lose the chances of their ballot ? If the
Radicals really feci for the negroes as they
affect, a golden opportunity is presented to
make good their sentiments by their acts.
We have little hope that this yearning of
the negroes to reach some unobstructed
plane of usefulness among tbeir own race,
aud under their own government, will ever
find a responsive clioi'd in the heart of the
obdurate and scheming Puritan Congress.
Rather than yield one single chance of
wreaking full vengeance upon the South,
by permitting the exodus thus passionately
craved, the anarchs who now conspire to
subvert the liberty of the Fathers, will not
hesitate to whelm black and white in one
common ruin. We trust that this may turn
out to be a harsh judgment, but it is, at
least, a plausible one.
In order, however, that the freed people
may have such information as is within
reach concerning Liberia aud its induce
ments, we have, with some trouble, collat
ed what loose material floated about in the
papers of the day. Some of this material
has already been produced. The following
comprehensive, though brief, article from
the New York Express, cannot fail to inter
est those whose minds bend, like the palm
trees, toward their native seas. The Ex
press says:
“ Liberia includes 14,976,009 acres of tillable
fymd, and cun afford farms of 25 acres each to
599,040 iiimiiies, say (estimating the number of
each family at live) 2,999,200 persons. Since
the war a great many freedmen, anxious to en
joy their freedom where their demand for so
cial equality may not be derided or denied, and
their claims to assert a voice in the political af
fairs of the place and and community in which
they may live, will not be disputed, have cast
their eyes towards Liberia. The majority of
these are reported to be of established (Jhris
tian character, and their sojourn in the land of
their ancestors would no doubt promote civili
zation and Christianity there now and
Uereatter. Emigrants would thrive there
at oucc. The English language is well
aud Irecly spoken. The Liberian Legis
lature is now considering the expediency of ad
mitting some native chiefs to its deliberations
in order to secure greater interior influence
The country produces enough to support ten
>old its curreut population, and rear limber and
dyewoods, gum arabic, copal, pepper, ginger,
indigo, ivory, gold dust, coffee, lice, palm oil
and other valuable products, besides the best
and cheapest soap in the world. The principle
river has seven feet of water over its bar at low
tide. For thirty miles from the coast the land
is flat. Then it begins to roll. The hills are
covered with valuable forests and the valleys are
fat. Iron and copper ore have been found.
Cotton, sugar cane axd coffee are easily culti
vated with all of the American garden vegeta
bles, and mauy pecnliar to this region. The wild
animals have been driven to the interior. Amer
ican colored emigrants constitute the ruling
class. There is a good republican government,
accompanied with numerous schools and
churches. Palm oil, rice, skins, canwood
&c., are brought by the merchants with articles
Imported from the United States, and the im
ports are more than repaid by the exports.
The elections are by ballot, and the government
is substantially a reproduction of that existing
here, the President’s term being limited to two
years. About four-fifths of all the Liberian
trade (the exports have rated about 1700,000
per annum—imports about the same) goes to
England on account of superior facilities for
communication. The Pennsylvania Legislature
asks Congress to subsidize a line of regular
steam ocean communication with Liberia. The
request demands early, and we think fnvorable
action. In the meantime the Colonization So
ciety must be content with such means of
transportation as its own funds can command.
Its ship is expected to sail hence on the Ist of
May. It can carry but 650 of the freedmen
anxious to emigrats. Those who feel an inter
est iu the matter, and would like to aid the So
ciety, should send their contributions to the
the financial secretary (Rev. W. McClain, D.
D.) at Washington, D. C.”
We have seen several letters from those
who have recently emigrated, all breathing
a spirit of content, elasticity and hopeful
ness. One writes:
“ 1 believe Liberia to be the home—the
only home—of the black man. It is his
own country. He is second to none here.
1 find more happiness among the Liberians
than I ever did in the United States.”
While the Congress may be lukewarm,
or sullen, it is pleasant to record that the
Legislatures of Yermontand Massachusetts
ire not indifferent to this subject, but peti-
tion Congress to establish lines of steamers
similar to those of Great Britain, which
run between Liverpool and Fernando Po,
touching regularly at Monrovia and Cape
Palmas.
The President of Liberia is the Rev.
James A. Bayne. We learn that he has a
slight admixture of Indian blood, and was,
twenty-seven years ago, a slave in Ken
tucky. He has risen to his present position,
after surmounting obstacles which many
of the black people now among us have
already overcome. We are convinced that
Liberia offers superior attractions to the
freed people, and opens up to them a field
of usefulness which will be denied them
here.
What we have written has been written
kindly and with an honest effort to publish
information for those who may not un
kindly receive it. If it be productive of
benefit, well and good ; if not, it will only
share the fortune of a thousand similar at
tempts at furnishing wholesome advice.
