We took occasion, in our paper Of Saturday last
TO make some remarks upon the invitation which
had been offered by President Boyer to the free peo
pie Of colour in the United States, eigrate and
settle themselves in the Island of Hayti; aud to ex-
press our decided conviction, that opening was
nov presented, which, if duly appreciated and pro-
perly improved. would become the means of con-
ferring the most important benefits upon the A(ri-
can descendants in our country, who now have Of
fered TO their acceptance, an easy and practicable
opportunity Of not only improving their individual
situations, but at the time Of restoring them
selves and securing to their offspring the inestima-
bie blessings of full enjoyment Of civil and reHgi-
Gus liberty.
There can be no question, but that the Island Of
TIayti is, at this time, under regular and settled
an order Of government any other counfry-thc
laws promptly and faithfully executed, and the
police regulations peculiarly adapted to the charac-
ter and habits of the people, securing or the one
hand fidelity to the government, and on the othsr,
protection to the persons and property Of the cti-
Gems. The climate is salubrous particularly in the
billy parts Of the Island, and the SOIL in point Of fer
uhty yields to no portion Of the globe. These adj
vantages now lie open to the acceptance Of the free
people Of colour who may have enterprise and wis
dom TO accept them. A sufficient portion Of land
is offered to such may incline to remove 10, and
cultivate it, and who, by their loyal conduct, shall
manifest that they worthy Of H. becoming at the
tine free citizens of the republic, and eligible

For ourselves we heartily rejoice in the opportu-
