International Statistical Congress was noticed by Lord Brougham,
and whose remarks in the sanitary section of the Congress upon
epidemics were characterized by a great knowledge of the topic
combined with genuine modesty. He is a physician of African blood,
educated in America, who has revisited the lands of his ancestry,
and proposes a most reasonable and feasible plan to destroy the
slave trade, by creating a _cordon_, or fringe of native
civilization, through which the kidnappers could not penetrate from
without, and through which no slaves could be transported from
within. Dr. Delany is one of the Commissioners sent out by the
convention of the colored people of Canada and the United States.
He has recently returned from the Yoruba country, adjoining the
territory of the King of Dahomey, and desires to elicit a favorable
consideration for the African Aid Society. His explorations have
been productive of the most promising results, his fellow blacks
having everywhere received him with distinguished honors. His
anecdotes are interesting, and his lectures are illustrated by
specimens of native produce and manufactures highly curious. Of his
lectures at Brighton and other places we have read lengthy reports,
which represent the influence these addresses have produced, and
which speak in eulogistic terms of Dr. Delany's matter and manner.
The subject is one of vast importance to England, and we trust that
we may witness ere long a proper appreciation of it.

FROM THE GLASGOW HERALD

All this betokens a considerable degree of intelligence. The towns
had their market-places; in one of these, that of Ijaye Dr. Delany
saw many thousands of persons assembled, and carrying on a busy
traffic. What a field might thus, in the course of time, be opened
for European commerce.

vast portion of the continent of Africa has been made by some of
the most intelligent colored people of the United States and
Canada. Having formed a society with this object in view, among
others, Dr. Delany and Professor Camp
