We received this letter with the following * remarks appended , in which we heartily coincide : — * Contrast these accounts with the reports of the Sierra Leone Commissioners . Upon Sierra Leone six or seven millions have been squandered , and it has been the grave of thousands of Europeansyet we believe , after an experiment of wore than forty years , it is now almost universally acknowledged , that the settlement is a failure . But like everything else , until within the last few years , Sierra Leone has been jobbed . We must choose another locality , if we can hope to rival our Transatlantic cousins in this blessed work , and we must adopt another mode of management . In fact we must copy from them . 4
On looking over the list of the members of the Managing Committee of this Society , we find that their President is that truly venerable and happy old man , Charles Carrol , of Carlton , the only survivor of the signers of the Declaration of American Independence , and now in the ninety-fifth year of his ag * e . Among the members are persons of all religious persuasions—Catholics , Protestants , Presbyterians , Quakers . In America , members of all religious persuasions can and do meet
upon the common arena of Christianity with a view of promoting the doctrines of its Divine Founder , and contributing to the happiness of the human race . It is not the least remarkable nor the least cheering * part of this work of charity to learn , which we do from an unquestionable source , that many of the Americans are ready to emancipate their slaves
—we have heard to the amount of 100 , 000—as provision may be made for their transport to the coast of Africa . Slavery has been long the plague-spot in the American system : but it is delightful to find that the people have set about in right earnest the only practicable mode by which the stigma can be effaced with safety to the country , or the unfortunate beings themselves .

Thanks to Alethe ; we shall be glad to receive more , of a similar description . The * Offering of Sympathy to Parents" has been already reviewed in the ' Repository ; ' we are glad to see it reprinted . The ' Memoir / and ' Sermons , ' have not yet been received at our office , or they would have been noticed . We do not think that we should assist Verita * by the insertion of his remarks , and the discussion which might ensue . He seems to us to have confused notions of the nature and plan of Divine Revelation , and controversy on particular points would only tend to more confusion . We would respectfully adviue him to read an excellent American publication , entitled ' The Atoning Sacrifice a display of Love , not of Wrath . By Noah Worcester . ' ¦ Or * L . ' s Letter was intended for insertion . The time is , we think , gone by now . If Excerptor and Albanus reached us they have been mislaid . Several notices of books are unavoidably postponed *
