At Meeting Of Ladies', held on the
9th March, 1888, with view to Estab-
fish Correspondence with American La
dies, who take an interest in the AMERI-
CAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY, it was stated
that the Meeting are moved to this mea-
sure, by the hope Of attaining the whole,
or the principal part of the following OBJ
jects:--
] 1.-The Extension of Christian Intercourse.
Every movement which eniarges Chris
tain sympathy carries in its bosom a
double blessing: it blesses the giver and
the receiver; and if, haply these parties
: meet in simultaneous effort to. convey
) relief to a third. the blessing is more than
!; doubled: it is reflected back in many forms
: on all concerned.
In this view, the principles oftrue phi
lanthropy, and ofsound patriotism encop-
!. rage us to seek an intercourse with those
females in the United States, who COM
mend themselves to our esteem, and in
vite our imitation, by their affectionate
exertions on behalf of the Negro, who
but recently might too Justly be said to
shave none to help him." There are not
in the world women from whom we can
., expect to meet SO true response to our
sentiments and principles, as from the
intelligent Females of the United States;
and there is no cause in which we can
more cordially join. Therefore, conf
ding in the sympathy Of Christian sisters,
we address ourselves to the Female Sup
porters of the Colonization Society. With
them we would unite our prayers, that
even through this feeble fundamentally,
Ethiopia may stretch out her hands to
God"
Moreover, we owe to America a debt,
. in the matter of her Negro population
which all our efforts will not be able to
discharge. 1t was from our country that
!, she received at first the baneful boon Of
Slavery In the case of Pennsylvania, she
! received it most reluctantly, groaned UNI
der it while it endured, and at last il
formed one of the most prominent rea-
:, sons for casting off her allegiance to the
:, mother country, and she forced her way
" to independence that she might rid her
self Of this crime. Virginia, Maryland ,th'
