Ii is with much concern that we are obliged
to announce the resignation of Mr.. Hall as
Agent Of the Pennsy yIvauia Colonization Soci-

vent his sustaining any longer those relations
with the Society, from which both be and j
anticipated the most satisfactory rcsults We
sabjoin tie resolutions passed BY the Beard OF
Managers on the occasion Of his resi2 i2nalion.
Resoive4, That as the Rev Mr. Hall has
tnndCred hls resignation as Agent the Board,
has resignation be accepted, but at the same
time the Board deeply regret tha, the state Of
Mr.. Halls health and the Immediately urgent
necessity ot the Society, compel US TO part with

hgence. they have the highest confidence.
Resolped, That the Board collectively and
individually, tender 10 MI. Hall their senti-
ments of cordial esteem, and their most hearty
wishes for his health and happiness.
Mr. Hall, with the consent oft Board, had
intended to act for awhile on behalf of the Sc
ciety in some of the counties in the central
part OF the state; bat we grieve to say, that an
affection OF his eyes arrests him even in this
more limited circle Of action
