the Colonization Society. Ofthe num-

who was present, and appeared to be
verging to the age ofthree score years
and ten. This patriarch was not OF
the number manumitted ; he belonged
to another estate, but had permission
to accompany his wife and children to
this city. and here bid them final a
dieu. When this fact was announced,
with an emotion that almost choked
the utterance ofihe speaker, there was
that long drawing in breath by every
listener, which indicates the workings
Of tina powers within. All eyes were
directed toward the object of so much
sympathy. and when it was farther sta
ted, that the owner OF the old man
