was moved, il was eventually agreed by ii
a large majority to refer the resolutions Il
to a committee to consider and report
thereon to the general body.
From the proceedings of the fifth day
we extract the following paragraphs. which
show the position of Mr. POWELL Buxton
on the Colonization question. 1t will be
recollected by some that he has recently
been claimed by Mr.. Gurley and others,
as friendly to the objects of the Am. Col
onization Society.
Mr.. J. G. BIRNEY was reioiced to hear
from the last speaker that there was 10
rivalry between the two institutions, and !
he was sure it would equally rejoice his !
brethren in America But he wished to
satisfy himself on one point. 1t was well
known that the great adversary of the an
ti-slovery cause was what was call col
oniZatlon enterprise. 1t was always con-
sidered, in fact, to be an embodiment of
the slave-holding interest; for it was well
known that interest looked mainly to a
colonization enterprise for lis saslenance
-(hear.) He was DESTROYS, therefore,
that Mr.. Buxton should give explanation
on that point, in order that, if colonization
formed any portion of that gentlsman's
views, they might not, in America, be en-
numbered with the use Of his name
(hear, hear.)
Mr.. BUXTON said he certainly never
expected that he should be accused Of be-
ing favor able to a colonization scheme,

(hear, hear) He believed such a system
# to be wholly delusive, and seeing lis eff
h ftcts upon slavery in America, he pro-
nouuced it to be inj urious to the cause OF
abolition.
