Regarding the affairs of the colony, I have, therefore, endeavored to be particular,--believing that duty to myself and brethren, required me to give them the within information; but nothing have I set down in malice.

Much more might have been said relative to some of the leading characters in that settlement, had I not been fearful of its assuming the character of a personal enmity or retaliation.
He who knows and will judge the actions of men, will bear me witness, that I have cherished no such feelings toward any of those who then lived, but now sleep in death.
In justification, however, of my statements regarding the character of Mr.
Lewis, I will call the attention of the reader to some of the many letters received from good and eminent men, to show that I was not alone in the low estimate of his virtues.

Gladly I leave that unpleasant subject, hoping that nothing in our past history will serve to becloud the bright future beginning to dawn on the prospects of our disfranchised and oppressed countrymen.
CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM A.STEWARD TO WM.

L.GARRISON.
MR.

GARRISON, Dear Sir:--In a recent examination of the business transactions between the Board of Managers of the Wilberforce Colony, and their agent Rev.N.
Paul, I find a charge made by him, and allowed by the board, of the sum of two hundred dollars, which he paid to yourself.
