corps really mode a very creditable appear

The mounted gentlemen were fully uniform

ed. and looked big with the dignity of the r.ha

peau bras, gold epaulettes, crimson sashes and

drees swords. The procession resembled one

tbat we have seen of Faustin the First, Empe

ror of Hayti, surrounded the Duke de Mar

malade, the Baron de uharlotte-Russe, the

Viscount de Meringues, and others of the flower

(and water) of his nobility, only that our color

.cd people looked a little more dignified than

Soulouque's newly created dignitaries.

We presume that we were specially honored

by this procession on account of the consistent

course which the New York Herald has al

ways pursued with tbe colored man? never

swindling him out of his money by false pre

tences, as some white editor* do, and

always bailing with pleasure any ef

fort made to elevate his position in

tbe community, when originated by himself

and conducted upon correct principles. Young

Africa must go ahead and emancipate itself?

above all, keeping clear of all wbite poli' icians,

swindlers and loafers. Immigration to Africa

is the only thing left for the colored man. lie

is, like the Indian, becoming a thing of the past

in this country.

do department of the American newspaper so

original or so important as the bureau of cor

The New York Herald first directed atten

tion to the subject nearly twenty years ago,

and its example has been imitated so far
