These passages, culled nearly at random, will
suffice to exhibit the liberal and truthful character
of the entire production, and will, to those who
have not access to the Review itself, be guaran-
ty of its conservative and law-upholding spirit.
The chief aim of the writer, however, is 70 ncul-
cate upon the reader the immense importance of
the movement in favor of gradual removal of the
free coored population Of the United States to Afri-
ca or the West India Islands, particularly Jamaica,
by matured and extending system Of colonization.
Thus pleasingly does the reviewer condense into d
paragraph The results Of The benefcent efforts Of The
truly philanthropic Colonization Society, and give
them encouragement in their future exertions
"Had one in some summer day dream, busted himself
with imagining the method for civiizing continent he
would have probably constructed in his fancy some such
scheme this which, through the abors OF the COLONIZATION
Society," has already become substantive reality II was

egenerators Of the dark land from which their fathers

for than thirty years has been steadily advancing towards
successful issues Many might reasonably at the ouse
have hesated and doubted ong before engaging in such
undertaking But who now that its success and promise

of colonization, since its first commencement in 1917 IS estl-
mated at no than 81 ,250,000 sum not sufficient TO

On what enterprise during the present century has the same
sum been expended with reasonable prospect of such great
results :"
That our writer does not, however, indulge simply
in the dreams of an optimist, who contents him
self with pointing out the perfect without reflect
ing that it may be visionary and impractcable, is
evinced by the following moderate expression OF
his expectations and who can refuse to share in
his hopes, even If all should not be accomplished
which pure and sanguine philanthropy might abb

O course we do commend colonization either in ia
maca or Africa panacea for all the evils slavery, nor do
we anticipate that coored colonies outrankng all others in
wisdom and virtue will suddenly become embodied Utopss
We have no intention of maintaining extravagancies Of this
sort. II 10 not necessary that colonization should be full
and complete andoe to slavery to make i worthy Of con-
sderaon Our object has been simply to show that IN the
present state Of the world it furnishes opportunity to the
free black for decided improvement OF his own condition,
and still more that Of his children, and that wearanged
