proposed to offer. He said that this meeting was
supplementary to another lately held in this City.
Said he: The great means OF progress at home are
Freedom Education and Religion. They need
the same in Africa, in Liberia. Beside, African
Colonization has relation to another question, which

who opposed African Colonization. La the view Of
many who look at the great shame Of Slavery in
this Republican land Coloniz alton is not cure for
American Slavery, and therefore they have no con-
fdenee in it. Colonization, however looks not
only to the emancipation Of three millions of slaves
in this country, but also to the civiliz alton and
Cbrstianizaton of tens of millions in Africa.

country have done but little thus far that is snowy
