fact that the scheme proposed to Congress fol

struction of line Of steamers, to be employed
in the conveyance, under certain conditions, Of
free negroes to Africa, was rejected by an over
whelming majority; in fact the Committee oil

scheme is of Colonization origin. Its defeat is
cause for joy.

A great meeting to dcnouncc the new fugi-
tive law was to have been held in Boston on
Monday evening last, and Frederick Douglass
was announced as one of the speakers. We
presume Frederick is by no means sorry that
his English friends made him as secure from ar
rest under that law as any colored man can be.
