The loose and unsatisfactory manner in which the accounts and vouchers have been returned from the Colony, may be seen in the instructions to the Agent in the June number of the Repository, where the papers received by the Jupiter are referred to. By the particular examination, giv en by the Committee to every paper, they have been enabled to arrange the various expenditures more to their satisfaction, than was at first deemed possible. The large class, however, in the tabular statement, under the head of "orders and receipts, for what purpose not specified," cannot be explained without further information from the Colony; and the Committee have little hope of receiving much additional information respecting them. It is proper to remark, however, that the papers for this class are defective only in specifying the purpose for which they were given. They contain the date, the sum, the name of the person to whom given, and his receipt, and in most cases the approval of the Agent in his own handwriting.

For

The three items, under the heads of "house expenses, "agency expenses," and "agency expenses for Caldwell," are without vouchers. 1830 and 1931, the charge is made up by a single line. For 1832, the particulars are stated in a long and detailed account, specifying every item, the time when, and the person to whom paid, and for what purpose. The most of the account is made up of provisions, stores, medicine, &c. issued to the emigrants, and charged on the books of the store; and for supplies for the agency house, as well as articles of furniture, charged in the same For 1832, the Committee are satisfied with this detailed statement. For 1833, no statement or papers have been returned.

manner.

The expenses of the schooner are quite indefinite and unsatisfactory.— No regular account appears to have been kept, showing the profit or loss of the different voyages.

The item for arms and warlike stores, is also unexplained. The purchases appear to have been made, but what proportion was for the use of the Colony, or what for the trade with the natives, is not stated. The Committee trust this will be the last time, when such articles will enter into their trade with the native tribes. But this is not the only or the most exceptionable article of that trade. It is with the deepest pain that the Committee have to notice another, more destructive, and in Africa second only to the slave trade itself, in its withering and blasting effects on every thing dear to man; but which, it is believed, is now, for the first time, brought to the knowledge of the Board. During the last four years, 1,857 gallons of brandy, whisky and rum, placed by the Committee under the item of trade goods, have been purchased in the Colony; the most of which, as the Committee have been informed by the late Agent, has been used in the native trade. The Committee have no language in which to express their deep regret, that such an element of trade should have been carried on with the beuighted natives by the Agents of the Society. Should any ask why the Committee have noticed this painful circumstance? The answer is given, by the explicit statement of the Board heretofore made, that they have no concealments; and even without that pledge the truth required its exposure. But whilst the fact is thus made public, the Committee submit, whether the very exposition does not afford the surest and the strongest pledge, on the part of the Board, that a traffic, so destructive of every hope for the regeneration of Africa, and of the best interest, if not the very existence of the Colony, shall cease.

An item of expenditure, unprofitable to a great extent, is found in the support of the colored n edical students. This measure at first was one of much promise. But Washington Davis, Page C. Dunlop and James H. Fleet, for whose education large sums were expended, have refused to fulfil their engagements. They have chosen to remain here, in violation of obligations the most sacred, unwilling and unable to restore the sums expended for their education from the funds of a benevolent institution. But the conduct of the other students, has been so far the reverse of all this.Charles H. Webb has gone out in the Jupiter to Liberia, where he will finish his medical education under the care of Dr. Skinner, with the pros. pect of great benefit to the Colony. William Taylor, a young man of much promise, and possessing the esteem and confidence of the Board, is still pursuing his medical studies under their care.

It remains for the Committee to make some remarks explanatory of the tabular statement.

The amount of expenditures appears to be $207,285 54. This, however, is only apparent, because two items are twice brought into the charge. For instance, the supplies for the Colony are charged first in the aggregate $40,946 63; but part of these are charged again in payment for labor, house rent, lumber, &c. So of the provisions and trade goods purchased in the Colony, $5,377 80. These two sums make $46,324 43; and when deducted from $207,285 54, leave the sum of $160,961 11. The amount collected for four years by the Society is,

To which add the Society's debt,

Sum to be accounted for,

From which deduct the specified expenditures,

A balance is left of

$132,190 20

45,645 70

$177,835 92

160,961 11

$16,874 81

This balance is accounted for, by the fact, that for the support of 1,598 emigrants sent in this period to the Colony, for provisions, stores, medicine, &c. there are only found charges in what is called "agency expenses, amounting to $14,822 03, a sum quite too small for their support.— The above balance added to this sum will give for that item $31,696 84, which is less than twenty dollars for the personal expenses of each emigrant, after his arrival at the Colony.

The receipts and disbursements, for the present year, will, of course, be submitted to the Society at their Annual Meeting. The Committee will not anticipate that report by any detailed statement at present. Five months ago the Board informed their friends, that the affairs of the Society had come to a crisis. It is with the deepest gratitude to Divine Providence, and with the sincerest pleasure, that they can now state, that the crisis has passed, and the cause remains uninjured. When in February last, this Committee made their first report, many appearances were discouraging; but now these discouragements are gone. The exposition therein given of the principles by which the Board would be governed, has received the cordial and unanimous approbation of the friends of the cause in every section of the Union. At no time, it may safely be asserted, has the Colonization cause, when conducted on the principles therein stated, been more firmly rooted in the hearts and judgments of our most enlightened citizeus.

When the Committee say there are no discouragements, they do not mean to say that they are free from embarrassment. During the pecuniary distress under which the community generally was suffering, it was not to be expected that the Society could discharge the heavy responsibilities incurred under the too extended operations of former years. But the Colony is now, for a year, beyond the reach of want. The Board have dissolved tacir connection with Dr. Todsen. But Dr, Skinner, a skilful Physician from Connecticut, Dr. McDowall, a young colored Physician from Scotland, highly recommended to the Board, and hereafter Mr. Webb, will supply the medical wants of the Colony. Aided principally by the noble generosity of their friends in New York, the Board have been enabled to hend such supplies as will leave them at liberty for some months to come to devote their means to the discharge of their debts. The large legacies. due to the Society, will, when received, much reduce their debt; and every thing in the power of the Board will be done, to make satisfactory arrangements with their creditors, so that their funds may be left at liberty to carry forward the various measures proposed for the benefit of the Colony.

In the mean time it is most encouraging to know, that while the Parent Board are engaged in relieving themselves from embarrassment, the cause is still advancing. The ladies of New York have sent out additional teachers and ample funds for their support, while the ladies of Philadelphia continue their efficient aid to the same most vital object. The Albany Colonization Society have furnished the Board with means for the commencement of a settlement of temperance emigrants, to be called Albany, and instructions, and part of the means furnished, have gone to the Agent for the immediate beginning of preparatory measures. From the State Colonization Society of Pennsylvania, heretofore one of their most efficient Auxiliaries, the Board have assurances of efforts to procure funds to build up and sustain the interests of the Colony.

But the beneficent operations in favor of the cause, do not stop here.— Although the Parent Board have been unable to be the instruments of giv ing liberty to the slaves whose freedom depends on their removal, their place has been supplied by the zealous and enterprising efforts of the Young Men's Colonization Society of Pennsylvania. They have engaged

to send out, with full and adequate supplies, more than 100 slaves, whose freedom depends on their going to Liberia. Here the Committee must pause for a moment, to compare the beneficent course of this Society, with the course of another Society, which claims to be the exclusive and only friend of the colored man. The one has said a great deal, and much of it in no friendly tone, about equal and unalienable rights, just as if we lived in a world of abstractions. The other has made very little noise, and what it has said, has been words of peace and truth; but it has acted; and it now presents the community with the spectacle of more than 100 freemen, who, but for it, would still have been slaves. And 1000 more are waiting, merely till the Parent Board, or its Auxiliaries, possess the means to place them as freemen in the same company. We call upon the many excellent men in the ranks nominally of our opponents, to consider these things. We speak not to the partizans, or to their editors, and the wouldbe leaders, in their ranks. To them we have nothing to say; but of them we do say, that we fear them not. They have already done us much good by their many grievous and hard speeches; and their treatment of this report, when they receive it, and especially of this part of it, will hereafter do us much more.

The distressing and painful loss which the Colony and Africa in general have sustained by the recent deaths of so many devoted and excellent men and women, has been felt by the Board with the deepest sensibility. But even in this painful dispensation of Divine Providence, there is no permanent element of discouragement. That the Colony will advance, if none but colored men go there, is most certain. But to lay the foundation of society on the principles of civil and religious liberty, and to assist in building up a native agency in the Colony and among the surrounding tribes, the aid of suitable white men is greatly needed. In view of these important considerations, the Board, after mature deliberation, have decided to have their whole territory explored with reference to a more healthful situation in the interior, in addition to the present settlements, and at a proper distance from the margin of the streams. It is also their intention

to have the interior beyond their limits explored, with a view to ascertain the distance and location of the high lands, and the course and distance of the mountains. They are convinced of the vital importance to Africa, and to the Colony, to have pious, able and enlightened men stationed there as missionaries. From the facts in the possession of the Board, they have great hopes of succeeding in finding a situation healthful to the white man. In that event, the respected boards of missions could, with renewed encouragement, recommence their most benevolent operations.

Among the first meetings of the present Board, it was decided, that they would keep the public advised of the true state of their affairs, both in the United States and at the Colony, as far as the truth was known to them. On this determination they have faithfully acted, and this report and that of February last, give evidence that they have done so. In the letters of Captain Voorhees and Mr. Pinney, were many painful truths in reference to the condition of the Colony. But the Board did not hesitate a moment in publishing these communications entire, because they were satisfied from the high character of the writers, that they contained the truth. The Board are also anxious to extend the subscription of the Liberia Herald in the U. States; its columns will, to a certain extent, give authentic information of what is passing there.

With the disposition on the part of the Board, thus evidenced, the friends of the cause may rest assured, that as far as the Board possess information, be it good or bad, the truth shall be laid before them. This course steadily persisted in, will soon render useless the labors of their op

And will Mr. Phelps say that there are not, may not be, hundreds and thousands of slaveholders at the South who regard their slaves as men, not as brutes or chattels, but as men against whose interests no pecuniary advantage is to be weighed in the balance?

The writer of this, has no disposition to defend or excuse any thing in the Institution of which we speak, that is contrary to the rule of Christ; in his opinion, the system is totally wrong as a permanent Institution; but admitting only of a cautious and gradual remedy. The time necessary benevolently to remove it, may be innocently taken; but the wisdom and piety of the South cannot too soon commence measures for its removal.

THE POWER OF PREJUDICE.

No man in this country has had more to say against the power of prejudice, than our editorial brother, Wm. Lloyd Garrison; and yet we never knew a more palpable exemplification of its power, than he has furnished in the statement below:

"Vermont Chronicle.

"Rev. Joseph Tracy has retired from the editorial management of this egotistical and pernicious publication. For the sake of the cause of humanity, of truth and of righteousness, we heartily rejoice at his abdication. We have been unable to perceive in his lucubrations any marks of genius, originality or candor. We have scorned to answer his paltry quibbling and vain-glorious sophistry. He is succeeded by his brother, who recently edited the Recorder of this city. We need not write HIS character."

Now, whatever may be said of Mr. Tracy's opinions, it is universally granted that no editor in the United States has shown more ability in maintaining them than he has done. His eminent "genius and originality" we never before heard questioned. Now we are among those who believe that "prejudice is not invincible," either toward coloured men or white. And we recommend to the editor of the Liberator to make an experiment in this very case; and if he succeeds, he will have furnished a demonstration, which no mortal can gainsay.-- Western Recorder.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT.

In the March number of the African Repository for the present year, was published a Report of a Committee of the Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society, prepared in compliance with a Resolution which had been adopted at the Annual Meeting of the Society held in the January preceding, calling for detailed information concerning the Society's debt; and in the May number, a Resolution of the Board, stating that certain accounts and vouchers had recently arrived from the Colony, and instructing the same Committee to prepare an additional Report. This has accordingly been done. The importance of the elaborate document thus prepared, and the known desire of the friends of the cause to see it without any avoidable delay, have induced us, in order to make room for it in the present number, to exclude other matter already in type. The supplemental Report and the proceedings connected with it, are as follows:

Extract from the Journal of the Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society,

July 24, 1834.

WALTER LOWRIE, Esq. from the Committee to whom was referred the resolution adopted at the Annual Meeting, and also the resolution of the Board, of the Sth of May last. made the following report:—
