an Agent OF the Ameiican Colonization Society, to
the Editors oil that paper, transmitting, for pubca.
non, the substance OF letter which he lately ad-
dressed to The President oil HAyTI, with the answer
OF the President thereto. The object OF MIR. De-
wey letter was, TO ascertain on what terms persons
| OF color would be allowed to emiurtte to Hayt
&c. The answer Of the President is such ore as
does credit TO his penetrson, well as to his feel
lnBs, and he has sent an Agent to New Yok to en-
ter into AN understanding with Mr. Dewey end the
Colonization Society, this subject, &c. which
Agent has arrived, with funds Sufficient To delray
me expenses OF The transportation Of COO colortd
iPeope' ~ way OF experiment. In doing this, the
President OF Haytl considers MIR. Dewey IS the
/" authorized" Agent OF the Society.
FROM what we know oil the views and objects of
the Coonizatlon Society, we undertake to say. at
once that this proceeding, the part of Mr. De.
wey, Is Hhotty unauthorized by the Society how
ever IL may excuse the motives which have dictated
ms proceeding lie was the Agent OF The society
ioi no SUCH purpose as ihis appreheDd, but tor
The purpose OF promoting the sws OF the Society,
and 10 aid in obi aiming iurds for the suDnor, and
enlargement OF the Colony on the Coast of africa.
Aher the serious turn which this matter has aI en-,
II may become necessary for the Society formally
TO asaVow proc eedlng. which, il supposed TO be
authorized by them, would appear to be- lailhless

gwen 70 the Nation upon this subject. The object
OF Tue oociety is, to resoe The descendants of Ai-
cans 10 the country from which their ancestors were
stolen ny European traders, and not to erect them
INTO separate Nation Ill this hemisphere. On this
point 1t ls oil some importance thai the views OF the
society should be distinctly understood where they
are misrepresentation
For our own part, though we are not very sensi-
i've on this point, we have, on the other hand, no
very particular desire TO the enls of the Presi-
den! OF HAYrI beating up for recruits within the
territory OF the United States. In saying thus
much We are far iiom casting censure on the mo-
t'Ves OF President BOYER. We see, in his letter,
90 Reason tor believing that this proceeding on his
part has any Other foundation than humanity and
philanthropy. .tat. LteL
