Any plan for the abolition Of Slavery in the States
named must, to be acceptable to the people, pro-
vide forthe colonization Of the manumitted negroes
in some Country out of the limits of the United
States. This was most emphaticaIy declared by
Mr.. Clay, when he proposed his plan of abolition
to the people Of Kentucky and the same sentiment
has been uniformly expressed by every man of inlu-
ence in the Slave States. The white people of
those States who own no slaves would rather have
Slavery continue than have the negroes set free to
remain in their midst on a footing of equality. 1t
is futile 10 consider whether this feeling is just and
proper We must be guided by it in determining
the practicability Of any plan Of emancipation We
quite agree with the Albany EreHing Journal that
rather than injurious 70 all parties, might asiy be
matured, having for its object the abolition of
Slavery in Delaware, Mary land, and Kentucky, and
we have frequently indicated that plan. The Fed.
eral Government, the State Legislatures, and the
people ought to assist the free negroes 70 emgrate
to and establish themselves in Western Africi, in
the hourishing Republic Of Liberia. There they

be very beneficial to all parties to the emigrants
themselves, and to the people OF this country who
are DESTROYS Of being relieved from the pressure of
the free colored population. Let this work be IN.
dertaken on an adequate scale, and we shall SOON
see the non-savehoding whites Of Delaware
Maryland, and Kentucky, insisting upon tbe
abolition OF Slavery in their respective States. and
thenwe shall hear no more of compromises de.
signed to preserve the equilibrium Of the free and
slave states-thtt equilibrium win be at once and
forever destroyed. The leading politicians Of the
