Here is our work before us. We have

with their parents. Draw for the wife, then
select her>husband. and give TO them their
children under 5. Take Of this class until
you have got 5000 souls for the first emf
grafton. Add 10 per cent each year for
five years then for every five years, add
10 per cent OH the annual emigration; and
the reader sees he is not only lessening the
capital, but he is lessening the stream that
supplies the capital every year. Or start
with larger number than 5000, and add
what annual per centage you wish; and
YOU can see how long ii will be before you
find those in the U. s. are those who cease

Of the capital, or the stream! IL YOU add
to the number who would be taken 10 a
foreign land TO remain as slaves, then you
reduce the capital to b, removed. Take
another plan. All borg after 1850 shall
be free, the males at 10; the females at Is.
Allow, or not allow, for those who will be
removed to foreign lands as slaves, before
the law goes into effect. In 1865 the females
are free. in 1869 the males. Say the births
Of the slaves are now l20, 900 year. AL
low that one half live to reach the years
they shall be free, which is 10000. In
1900, fifty years hence, there would be none
but free persons in the land, except those over
20. Take of this 10000. 5000, the first
year Of emigration, which would leave 5O,-
600 TO create capital; but which would be
subject TO removal at any time. Add 10
per cent to the 5000 for five years; then
increase the per ceniage to II per cent for
the following five years; then increase it
for the following five years until it is Is
per cent on the fifteenth year; and let it there
stand, and in thirty years not only is the an
nual increase removed, but the capital there
has been increasing from the surplus left, is
so diminished, that in the 20 years following
there are none to be taken away according
to the law. Every year from the first year
Of emigration, the capital is lessening, and
putting the interest Of the removed capital
in Liberia. AS TO the expense ofremoval,
let the man and woman who 60, be hired
out for two years, so that the man when he
goes is 81 and the woman II. In no case,
il marriage has been contracted, shall the
husband be separated from the wife. And
if the woman has child let it 80 with her.
The hire will pay the passage, and give an
outfit for husband and family. They can be
taken for s15. each adult. Allow 300
passengers to vessel. Say 5000 are TO
be taken the frs, year; and eight trips will
take them, fixing upon January, May, and
September, as the months for them to sail
TO Liberia. Add the yearly per centage,
and you will add your additional ships.
According to our plans, the master gets pay
for raising the slaves who are set free; OF
he has them removed in such manner by
general draught, that he is prepared to man.
age his affairs by white labor. while the
slaves who go, whether at 10 or 81, or are
taken between 10 and 45 by being hired
out for two years, pay the expense of theiI
removal.
Will any one say that both of these plans
are impracticable, though the power Of the
General Government, or that OF the States
is used to carry them out Why impracti
