% The Thirty-second Annual Report Of the
American Colonization Society has been placed
III our hands. We notice in this Report the ad-
| inirable numbers of ''Laocoon," WI ich appeared
| in curt town papers, and which We're extensively
| copied by the Press in Virginia Negive few
extracts from the Report
! During the past year. We have sent -443 emf
grants to Liberia.
| '0 these people 324 were liberated for the pur-
pose of going to Liberia; were recaptured At
ricans, the remaining III were free.
! Twelve deaths occurred among 412 of the en-
grants.
In addition to the above emigrants already
sent to Liberia, we had anticipated, and made
partial preparations for, despatching a vessel
from New Orleans on the first day OF this year,
with upwards Of three hundred people. But the
Cholera commenced its work Of death in that
City on the 18th of December and prevailed to
such an alarming extent that it was considered
best to postpone tn e sailing of the vessel until
the disease should disappear or so abate to
render II safe Tor emigrants to come to the city.
This was great disappointment to the people,
who were eager to embark for their new home
and will be attended with some extra expense to
the Society.
Application has been made to us for a passace
to Liberia, from 246 in Mississippi--69 in Ten
nessee-27 III ndiana-24 in kentucky-2 in
Qhio-64 in Virginia-60 in South Carohna-6
in New York. in Connecticut in George
towrl-5 in Washington Cityz--l6 in North Car
olina-and 1875 i'll Georgia making a total of
657.
The total amount of our receipts from all
sources during the past year We're $50, ia 81.
The expenditures amounted to $5l,95S 46--
leaving balance against the society of $3.50
o. on the superstition that the balances now due
the Society are all good. This however is not
the case. By reference to the balance sheet
appended to this Report it viii be perceived
that our bills payable and other liabilities
amount to Sc, TAO 80. All these must inevta-
bly, be paid But we cannot say the same Of
the amount due the Society," which is only &c.
9o7 80. Some part of this we cannot expect to
receive. 1T will be a long time before some of
the others will be settled & Sostlat we must cal
cnlate to provide for paying larger portion Of
the debts we owe, from some other source than
from debts due us.
