The Colonization Socaety.--As the merits Of this
Association have been as fully and as ably discus
sed, and are as well understood in Virginia as in
any other part of the Union, we observe, with pc.
cullar pleasure, late triumph which the cause Of
this philanthropic scheme has lately obtained in
that highly intelligent commonwealth--even in its
enlightened Legislature. The circumstance to
which we allude is thus stated in the Enquirer.
The proceeding took place on the 2lst Feb.
The engrossed bill, concerning the Richmond
and Manchester Colonization Society. was taken up
on the motion of Mr. Upshur. 1t requires the
agent of the Penitentiary to deliver to the Society
certain amount in Penitentary manufactures.
There was blank in the bill as to this amount
Several motions were made to fill it; $1,000 was
negatiyed, and the next highest sum, $500, being
pending
Mr.. Upshur, considering that the proper fne,
rose and submitted his views to the House. The est-
nation n which they held the subject, would deter
mine the amount with which the blank was to be
filled Mr.. Upshur spoke some time, and with
ability and force, in favor of the scheme Of colon
zing the free people Of color. Mr.. May spoke in
favor of the bill. The blank was filled with $500.
Mr.. Gordon opposed the bill and was followed by
Messrs. Winston and blackburn in favor and Mr..
Dromgoole in opposition to it, The ayes and noes
we're taken, on motion of Mr.. JacksoR and the bill
passed, ayes l16, noes IS"
Thus, after full discussion, the seal of their ap-
probation is stamped upon this plan, in the most
emphatic manner-in pecuniary aid to the object
OF the Society-by of the most intelligent Bodies
in the Union. Nat Intel.
