The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1847-11-13

Whatever may be the views OF some OF
the character Of the American Colonial
ton Society: or Of others, respecting the
emancipation Of the slaves to remain in the
United States; il is fact, that the emnci-
patton of the slaves depends upon the con-
sent Of the majority of the voters in each
of the slave States. When a slave State
decides that the slaves in il shall be set Tree,
the majority OF voters in that State will have
the sole power TO say whether the slaves
set free shall remain in the State OF wheth-
Der they shall leave the State not TO return to
live in it. But as many withhold all aid from,
the Colonization Society, on the ground that
BY Colonization it is impossible to remove
slavery from our country; We will attempt
TO show that it can be done, in order to in
duce those now alienated from the Society,
10 become its friends. Let the Colonization
scheme have support, then when the slave
States shall respectively act on the subject oil
emancipation, it can be fairly decided, is it
practicable to colonize them to their entire
removal from the land
1. Lctus notice the practicability ofcolo-
nizing the free colored people. We prom
Use that If the free colored people increase
by the emancipation Of the slaves faster than
they are now increasing, il will be necessa-
~ TO increase our ratio OF annual emigra-
ton and also the amount Of money to re-
move them. There are 400, 900 free blacks
in the United States, Of this number 3l0,-
600 are under SO years Of age, OF this num-
Der 10000 at least, are incapable by dis
case, or vice. or disability Of body, to sup
port themselves in a new country. Such
should remain here. This gives 3OO,OOO
10 be removed. Let the married be placed
in one class, and the unmarried in another
class. Take the married class first, and
assume there are three children TO each
family. Take 1000 families, il the iaml-
does not make five souls, add to the farnl'
lies so that the number Of souls to emlgrate
the first year shall be 5000. Add lOPeI
cent TO this number for three yers, then
make an annual addition Of 10 per cent.
until it is increased to forty per cent. in
thirty wears none but the old would be found
here. This plan takes away annually IRON
the CAPITAL. and the interest that adds to the
capital. Take another plan. Let all the
males from q to "a, and all the females
from Is to 81, be taken away. II any o.
such families have children, let them go with
the mother. Take what number oil thu
class that the reader chooses, and in thirty
wears the oIdes, of the free blacks in the U
States. would be As, which would be the
female. By this plan, the emigfant would
be Of an age to act for himself The cos
Of removal would be about $4,000 annu
ally. Divide this sum among all the States
according to the number each State had e
remove and the sum for each State to pay
could be easily paid. If the free State
should decline removing the free black
living within their limits; then there woul'
be but 200, 900 in the slave States TO be re
moved. Take from this capital 5000 soul
annually; or add what per cent. you pleas
10 the yearly emigration; and you will Sc
the 200, 600 lessening to be seen here N
more. If you reduce the number to be r.
moved. YOU Of course reduce the expense
removing. 1t is to be borne in mind ths
each family has ten acres OF land gwen
it in fee simple in Liberia.
