TO THE CITIZENS OF VIRGINIA.
A memorial is circulating amongst you, the de-
sign of which is to call the attention OF tho ensuing
Legislature to the subject Of the bond and treo CO.
lorcd pc pulahon Of this State, and to urge upon
them the necessity OF devising some means, by
which the number of slaves may be gradually di-
ninished, and tho frep blacks removed bcyo oar
borders. IL it be conceded that this is a subject
which dcman DIS the intsrpoStpn Of Legislative pow
Or, it will not bs denied that it ought to be acted
promptly; lst because tho evil sought to be ro;ucded
is growing ono; and ID, because more suspicious
moment for action thai the presept arise;
and II the correctness of this position be admitted,
tho only question ito be decided, will be in what
form shonld be made to approach the Legislature,
30 as most efectually, to secure the adoption OF
prompt aud efficient measures. The form OF mo
nsrial alsnc is doernod Observation-Disclosures it
ries authority with it. In ordinary cases it
might suffice. Eut the subject now to be discussed
and disposed of il of that characcr and il is not
presUmSble that your representatives, without your
special instructions, would take one decisive step,
III matter of great magnitude and of so much vi
tai Importance in all It's bearings. With view to
Avoid all unnecessary delay, it is proposed that
meetings of such of you by law qualified
so vote, to be held in all the counties of the State,
on their respective court days, in December, TO
deliberate upon the momentous subject, and to
give such direction to il you may deem most
proper. BY adopting tho plan here proposed you
will not only with more certainty and more promp.-
ness than you could by the adoption Of any othor
course attain your end; but you will stamp upon
law, enacted in obedience such an act Of So
vsrcignty, character that could not by any other
means be confer red upon it, which would elevate
far above any exceptions that mi hi lie against
binary act of Legislation. and give to the great
cause of colonization, an impetus that might con
time TO act whilst there remained any thing to bc
acted upon'

Adminis ration oftho matter, explained in an
article in the Globe, which rcpublished. They
como TO tho conclusion that all constitutional mea-
