African Colonization Society, from gentlemen OF C. on
Sress and others, distinguished before the country oi
talents. patriotism, and character. The subject of
this Address appeals TO the wise and the good in every
portion OF our country; IT appeals 10 the statesman
well the philanthropls; il appeals especially to
the friends of the Union whether of the North the
South. the West and. in the name of Union.

Of all Regarding the Society in this light. it is with
sincere pleasure that we see It's claims snphalicaly
sanctioned and upheld, they are in this Address
by so large and SO distinguished body Of citizens
comprising men oil opposite principles in politics
f,om the most widely separated States of the Re
public AMI OF every religions creed. Such an APP
peal eiu be heard, aud mast be considered by the
merican People It's worthy not only ofthc considc-
ration OF individuals but ofthe immediate and hbe.
raj support OF the Governments ofihe country. Our
fellow citizens Of the North will not much lopper
yield to to the impulses of a fanatical and misclc-
vious philanthropy, setting at naught all the lessons
OF experience, oil patriotic wisdom aud tiicd benevo-
lence, on subject too grave and great and too TO-
reign to their proper duties to be touched by them
with any other tendency effect than evil, both so

Colonization, elements OF good to their society," and

Should the friends Of the Society think proper as
