i In view OF these facts, can it be doubted that
the mind of Virginia is made up? DO you ask
for public sentiment; Read the history oil Inc
Commonwealth for the last half century Trace
the records Of her legislation on this subject oy
the references here made. Ask counsel oil your
constituents 10 DETAIL Of your hreside symPa-

sion, let beginning be made. The completion
will require course of years, begin when you
may.
We have now arrived at the following con.
illusions, where respectfully leave the subject
with you
|. 1t is desirable and necessary to both races
that our free coored people should De removed
without delay from The Stale.
Z. Liberia, in Africa, is their proper home,
and il is for their interest to emigrate TO that
land Of Liberty and law
3. We extend 10 them their due share of JUS
tice an mercy when we provide for their re-
moyal there.
4. The Colonization Society is proper. con
venient and economical agency 10 effect their re-
moval.
S. In making a liberal appropriation for this
object, The present Leg ture is carrying out
the opinions distinctly entertained and repeated
y expressed BY former Legislatures Of Virginia
for half century, and meet the public senti-
ment Of their enlightened constituency at the
present time.
6. Notwithstanding the UNMARRIED opinion OF
Virginia on this subject, expressed and approved,
through period during which her free negroes
have quadrupled; notwithstanding she was early,
if not first, - asking for an African Colony, and
a liberal appropriation was once made BY her
or its behalf, yet no contribution from our
Treasury, has ever been employed in this object.
although the thing desired has been done, and
Liberia stands out the wonder Of the world, and
the enquiry is already one of deep historical in.

7. Finally, it belongs 10 the Legislature Of
l849-whIle we are asserting, our claim 10 a
large inheritance in The fame of lis founders TO
link our name 10 that of Liberia, By an appropri-
alton Of an annuity amply sufficient to transfer,
within reasonable time, our GO 900 free color
ed people TO their father land-and preserve all
Of the local affection they may feel for the good
old State of their navlly, hy giving them true free
dom and dignity as free citizens Of a separate

wholly undescribable-the streets were liter al.

walks were utterly impossible, and the doors
and windows Of every house along the route
densely filled with spectators of all sizes and both
sexes. White handke.chlefs were waved by

lerted upon him the office OF Public Printer oil

tIments, in the CITY or county. Very wcll-we
make no complaint; but let US have no more

onr old brown Homestead reared walls,
From the way side dus, alaof.
Where The apple bouehs could almost cast
Their tfui'a0 on rs roof
~And the cherry trees 50 near il grew,
That when awake Pee lain,
In the lonesome highs, Pve heard ihe limbs,
As they crraket against The pane
And those orchard trees, @, those orchard trees!
I've seen my lire bro hers rocked
In their tops by the summer breeZ,.
The SWEEP briar under the window sill
Which the early birds made glad,
And the damask rose by The .arGen fence
Were all the flowers we had.
I've looked al MANY a flower since then,
Exotics rich and rare
That in other eyes wee loveier,
But moi To me 50 iair;
For those roses brisht-oh those roses bright
have twined them with NV sisters LOCKS,
That are laid in the dust from sish'.
We had we'll, deep old WELL
Where the spring was never dry,
And the cool drops down from the messy stones
Were falling constantly.
And there never was wafer halt so sweet
As that in my linle cup,
Drawn up 10 The curb BY the rude old sweep,
Which ny fathers hand set up:
And that deep old well, o, iha, deep old well,
remember yet The FLASHING sound
OF The bucket as il tell
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where al night We loved IL met;
There my mo- hers voice was always kind
And her smile was always sweet:
And there I've sa, on my fathers knee,
And watched his thoughtful brow,
With my childish hand ~ his raven hair
That hair is silver now!
But thai broad hearh's CHI, O. that broad hearih's
light!
And my fathers lcok and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.

A LITTLE GOSSIP ABOUT APPOINTMENTS AND

conversation with lis friends mat there must
unnecessarily b srme appointments, but more dis
announcements and We may add 10 this rue and
frank declaration, wi hou any violation OF con-
6aeuce, The following briei extract OF a private
eaer addressed 10 gentleman in this city:
"There will no; be one Office Tor an applicant in
twenty, and all who are disappointed, will, as
matter Of course, become my most implicsb'e
enemies !or life, a'trbuline heir ;si!ure 10 any
cause but the correct one, viz: want Of Qualihca-

1t viii be seen BY the above pihy reflection

his situation, and his eyes wide open 10 the
"wanls" Of The great political community. An
