The ostensible object of the Coloni>
Society Is commendable the
misfortune Is. no approach IS made to-
wards the accomplishment of this OBJ
ject. No body doubts that the free
are at once the most degraded
aud the most dangerous class OF our
population. They constitute a species
Of moral sesspoOl, which diliuses vice
and crime owe the country. Any
practicable mode, therefore, o. Kidding
ourselves Of this dangerous and loath-
some element of society, should com
mend itself to the sanction and support
Of every good citizen. Now is the
Colonization in society, over whose de
liberations pres dts that veteran aboli.
ZIONIST, Henry Clay, a practicable and
efiectual mode OF removing the Free
Negro population from our midstl BY
no means. Relatively to the attain
ment of its design, the Colonization
Society is one OF the most complete
and signal failures hat mans exertions
ever sustained. Not one 1.-THE of the
annual increase of the Free-Negro
population is transported by this Socie
ty and if its exertions afforded the onN
ly means of escape for this people, they
would accumulate in our midst with
out any p~erceptible check. And such
ia fact has been and is the case. But
if the Colonization Society were only
a useless and barren enterprise (; no
more odium would attach to it than is
excited by all schemes which fail Of
their end. But there are positive
grounds of objection and reprobation
in this Colonization Society. 1t is IA
fact. tor the proof Of which we refer
every man to the results of his own
observation, that the efforts of the Col
~onization Society instead of being di-
rected to the removal of negroes al
reodg free, are confined almost exclu-
siveIy to the emancipation and trans
portation of slaves. The Colonization
Society is an Abolition Society. Read
it's reports and it is manifested beyond
a doubt what its principal object is.
The hopes and aims of the members
of this Society are emancipation, rath'
err than transportation and colonization
If the people of the South, therefore.
wish to relieve themselves of the free
negro population, they should rely up
on some other plan for the accomplish,
ment of their objcct-the benevolent
contributions should not be expended
in an enterpI ize not only futile and
nugatory but directly inimical to the
existence of slavery. In this connect
; ion we would express u concurrence
7 in the suggestion of Gov. Floyd-tha
: petty offences committed by free ne
groes be punishable by transportation
: In this manner, would be effected tn
transportation of the most vicious o
/. the free negro population. En- Paper
= LIFE OF ST.. PAUL,-rarsus, the place q
this Apostles nativity was the metropoli
of CECILIA, and was situated about tire
hundred miles from Jerusalem; it was e,
e ceedingly rich and populous and a Roma
@ munlcipium, or free corporation investe
with the privileges of Rome by the two fir
emperors, as a reward for the firm adherenc
of the citizens to the CRsars in the rebelIio
o of Crassus. St. Paul, therefore, was Dor
v a Roman citizen, and he often pleads thi
,f privilege OF his trials,
Paul was sent to Jerusalem by his parent
u to complete his legal education, and was il
'r structed in the school of Gamaliel, an EN-
T. nent Rabbi, or doctor of the Jewish Law
He became attached to the Pharasees, VIII
j, made religion to consist in a strict obserS
:. ance of the Jewish rituals.
~ On account of his Jewish extraction, h
was called Saul, a name of Hebrew origin
if but in the capacity of a Roman citizen, h
T obtained the secondary title of the Pauluf
the Latin name from which the Englis
" Paul is derived. 1t was the constant an
ts commendable practice of the Jews to brin
c. up their children to some honest calling, b
lie which, in cases of necessity, they might pr
+, vide for themselves by the labor of their ow
! hands, Paul was by trade a tent maker.
II Paul or Saul, having become a profcier
rs in the Jewish learning, and being natural
lie of a fiery temper, became a great champic
"a of the laws of Moses and the traditions
= the elders. He was impatient Of all opp

G became a vehement prosecutor Of the Chri

Id and destroyers of the Jewish economy.
