To defy the powers of calculation. The
power o.! the government. the political
strength Of the nation, will be with those
wEo have but little sympathy with the ins,l-
tuition Of slavery
In this view OF The matter, how impOr-
tant does it become to provide an efficient
remedy for the evil? How forciblc is the
appeal 10 The patriot and the statesman? Its
when we divest ourselves Of prejudice and
realize that this is suhject of deep and vital
Interest, that the scheme of colonization
rises to its true dignity and Importance 1t
is when We are most thoroughly persuaded
of the nature and extent Of the evil which
afllots us, that this benevolent design points
us TO the way Of delivermce. 1t assures us
OF the justice, mercy, and wisdom Of God
Our trust is in Him who delivered three
millions of people from Egyptian bondage
and led them through the wilderness for
forty years, with cloud by day and a pill
lar Of fire by night The time will come
when the. proud vessel of our Republic,
ireghied with the last cargo OF American
slavery, shall spread her canvass for the
shores Of Liberia. The rejoicing lustre of
millions Of eyes will be turned upon it.
The blessings of Heaven will be invoked
by an incalculable host of uplifted hands,
and all the jarring elements of party strife
will be melted and mingled into one gener-
al prayer OF Joy. and thsnkinlness and
safety.

There is not lower ambition, poor
er way Of thought, than tina, which would
confne all excellence, or arogaie its final
accomplishment to the present, or modern
times. We ordinarily speak and think OF
those who had the misfortune to write or
live before US, as labouring under very sin
gular priva,ions and disadvantages in not
having the benefit of those Improvements
which we have made, as buried in the
erossest ignorance, or the slaves Of porting
pedantry; and we make q cheap and inlal-
lible estimate Of their progress in civiliza-
ton upon a graduated scale Of perfectibili-
ty, calculated from the meridian Of our own
times. II we have pretty well got rid OF
the narrow bigoty that would limit all
sense OF virtue to our country, and have fra
ternized, like the coanoPolites, with our
neighbors and contemporaries, We have
made our selflove amends BY letting the
generation We live in engross nearly all our
admiration, and by pronouncing a sweeping
sentence of barbarian and ignorance on
our ancestry backwards, from the COM
mencement (as near a. can be) Of the nine
tecnth, or the latter end Of the eighteenth
century. From thence we date q new era,
tho dawn of our own intellect, and that oil

our superficial accomplishments and upssart

yond that magic circle is pIcIudice and er-

ty and short-sightedness. The modern scio-
list s,ulthes all understanding but bis own,
and that which he conceives like his own.
We think, in this age of reason and con-
summation Of philosophy. because We knew
nothing twenty or thirty years ago, and be-
