Scomp. of Emory College. Oxford. Ga.. on the subject of the emigration of the negroes. Dr. Blyden was in Aiken at the conference of the African Methodist Church and created quite a sensation by his intelligence and earnest advocacy of the emigration of his race. He says for himself: There is no subject dearer to the hundreds of thousands of negroes than the return to the land of their fathers. I have been very forcibly impressed by the very widespread iuterest in the subjectthe general desire to emigratewhich I have observed in the State of South Carolina. If Congress should make the provision for their departure now recommended there would be no difficulty it finding those ready to avail themselves of it. the difficulty would be in avoiding adventurers. who would hasten to put themselves under Government patronage and become prominent recipients of its benefits. but who. oii arriving in Africa. would be sure as Professor Scomp suggests. to send back doleful accounts from that El Dorado.
