COLONIZATION.
o. P. CHANDLER, I sooro,or;os
d. w. c. CLARKE,


The Twenty Sixth Annual Meeting OF the Yer
mont Colonization Society was held in the Brick
Church, Montpelier, on Thursday evening last A
large audience assembled, and it an occa-
sion of unusual interest. The President, Govern
or Crafts took the chair, at half past six o'clock
The meetleg was opened with prayer by the Rev.
b. B. Newton of Chelsea, and with excellent mu-
sic from the choir
The Treasurer being absent, no audited report
was made. 1t was stated, however, that about 500
have been collected in Vermont the last year, for
the enterprise of Colonization.
The Annual Report of the Board of Managers
was read by the Secretary. This report after show
ing that Vermont has ever been firm anti-slavery
State-and that the Vt. Colonization Society is the
oldest State Colonization Society in the Union, pro-
ceeded to detail the facts and statistics illustrating
the condition and progress Of the colony at Liberia.
But as the report is to be published, we shall
not attempt any abstract of il now.
On motion of the Rev. Joseph Tracy, Secretary
of the Mass. Col. Society, it was
Resolved, That the Report of the Board of Man
ayers be accepted, adopted and printed under the
direction of the Board.
Upon this motion, Mr.. Tracy addressed the au-
dience in an effective and impressive speech of half
an hour or more Being himself perfectly acquain-
ted with all the facts, the history and geography of
the western coast of Africa, he drew from these
facts in lucid and convincing manner the neces-
sary CONCLUSIONS respecting lHe Importance, tne
prospects and bearings of Colonization upon the
well being of the colored race.
The Rev. Jesse II. Peck of Poultney, followed
Mr. Tracy in iervId and stirring appeal upon the
following resolution, viz:
Resolved, That the principles the history and
pros poets of African Colonization, encourage and
demand greatly increased efforts for its prosecution.
As we hope the speakers will furnish an abstract
of their addresses, We shall not attempt to report
them.
The following named gentlemen were elected
officers of the Society for the ensuing year, viz
Hon. Samuel c. Cats, President; Phinehas
White, Gen. E. P. Walton Hon. Israel P. Dana,
Col. John Wheatiey, Vice Presidents; Hon Charles
Paine, Hon. Daniel Kellogg, Col. a. w. Hyde,

At poge SIS Revised Statutes, the Legislature
repealed an act that had been passed for the re-
lief of persons imprisoned for the reason that
imprisonment for debt had by the same statutes
been abolished. The 33d section Of the Constitu-
tior of Vermont declares that the person of n debt
or shall not be continued in PRISON after delivering
up all his estate for The Of his cediiors in such
manner as shall be hereafter regulated By id0. The
statutes delegate the power to plaintiff TO mprison
his debtor on writ or execution if the former will
make affidavit that he believes defendant is about
to abscond. The debtor is then in prison at the
mercy Of plaintiff, who confne him until he
consumes his estate in living or sell it at auction
and the plaintiff bid it off at tenth of its value
then debtor takes the oath Of discharee-subiec-
ting his future earnings to the balance Of the ex-
ecuton. Imprisonment for debt never existed in
any government in so arbitrary a form as in Yer
mont. Slavery is benevoence contrasted with our
system Of force, which allows plaintiff, when he
prays out bis writ to attach property sufficient to
pay his debt,-then swear out an execution on his
judgment with no notice to debtor, and forthwith
cast him into prison, property and body at the dis
erection Of plaintiff
