My purpose, however, is to devote a few moments to the examination of a scheme disclosed in the for the education om-ndment which the Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs proposes to make to the bill malt ing appropriations for the naval service. He inform ed us that he meant to propose the building of a line of steamers by the aid of the funds and the cred it of the United States, which would establish a con nection between certain ports in this country and the coast Africa. , . ., The double purpose of this scheme was the mail nf the Ilnited States to that coast and other places, as well as affording a means for the transpor tation of the free negroes of America to the land of their ancestors. When this project was first sug gested to me some months ago, I was inclined to think favorably of it at least so much so as to give it the most calm and moderate consideration.

But, sir, there is s grsver and more substantial ob jection to this amendment. I refer to the object which it has in view in the establishment of this line of African steamers. The specious proposition is to afford facilities for the transfer of the free negro pop ulation to Liberia. The measure, at nrst sight rent with sympathy for the suffering of remote indi viduals who arc not much moved by the calamities of those around them. Their eyes fill with tears for the wrongs of the black man in the slaveholding States, whilst they turn a deaf ear to the importuni ties of the pauper white man who asks for a sixpence. Sir, 1 nevei saw a native American beggar south of this cily in a life of half a century. I never spent a week here, or north of this, without seeing one and usually many. In this day of diffusive benevolence and philanthropy, this enterprise of removing the free blacks to Africa would give a great impulse to the most provoking evil which the South now endures. Those who feel called upon to seduce slaves from their masters would have an additional facility to take them to Africa and force them out of the reach of those entitled to the service. In a few years it would become one of the most expensive as well as annoying branches of the service. The transporta tion of free blacks would become a Government en terprise, and I anticipate that money would he voted from the Treasury to defray the expenses of their passage. And what would be the result T Too would send away ship loads of natives to a foreign shore: and in return bring foreigners from Go rope to our own. The Government would be engaged in this transfer of population at great expense and of at tsast doubtful advantage. Again, air, this Una of teamen could do but little in this great work, even supposing that the free blacks were able to pay the expense of " At the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, recently held in this city, the framing of a constitution, canons, and rules of order formed prom inent subjects of deliberation. The house then went into the election of the standing committee, and vari ous other committees usually chosen in such cases. These were for the most part chosen by ballot, and engrossed the whole of two evenings. The last, and by lar tne most important action ot this body, was the choosing of a bishop. This resulted in the elec tion of the Right Rev. Horatio Southsato. D. D.. for merly missionary bishop to Constantinople, but now the United States. The election of Dr. residing in Southgate as Bishop of California will cause surprise and astonishment to all Protestant churchmen in the States, and especially so when it is remembered that he is the veritable personage instrumental in bringing so much evil upon the American missionaries, and who caused so much difficulty in the church abroad. But Puseyism is the same here as in the States, and the sooner they come out and unite themselves with the Church of Rome the better for the evangelical portion of the Episcopal denomination. That church has now two separate organizations here the Rev. Mr. Mines and the Rev. Mr. Vetneare; but I am sor ry to add that these brother clergymen are not on even speaking acquaintance."
