The design of the article is to defend the
American Board Of Commissioners, for for

pose.
First, They have denounced the scheme
of Colonization as engendered Of hell. and as
they were generally the fathers of it and its
early nurses, the Journal thinks at least, that

Cd. They have organized societies, and
procured lecturers TO teach the people what
they knew before.

existed between a considerable number Of
pastors and people.
9Th. They had a negro boy, which they

9Th. They gave aid and comfort to all fu-

under the reign Of Queen Victoria.
9Th. Not finding sufficient elements for war,

commenced fighting each other going forth
in Guerilla parties, firing at anything W hich
looked formidable, including the ministers,

electors. In fact, the labor has SO increased

them that erery thing is to be abolished. If
all things were back in chaos, then would
