Colonization.

The following testimony in favor of African colonial
ton the more valuable at least will be likely
to be needed by coored people, coming from
which has latterly been closely allied to Aboltonism
though not, believe, calling itself Abolition paper
It's opposition to the law for the rendition OF fugitive
slaves has been bitter and almost ferocious. We dis
sent from the ntimaton that under any supposable cir
cumstanceS the Colony can prove !allure. The ele
ments of strength and greatness akeady there a
well conducted republic already in existence; and
this age OF the world the Colony go back
to baTbarism, than could the Plymouth Colony in
ly period of its history This however is of
practical Importance, numerous emgrants will
unue to 90 out for their sake well the promo
ton Of great public objects Of philanthropy and benevO-
lence. What have thus far seen, but the begin
ming; the grand consummaon will comprehend the CIV
ilzition aud Christanzaton of Africa, the abolition of
the slave trade the estimation oil the cooTed ia the
estimation OF mankind and IN lact the emancipation Of
multItudes in this country who otherwise would have
died in slavery and the furnishing of real freedom
multitudes who now only nominay enjoy it in these
United States.
IFrom the New Bedford Mercuryl
LIBERIA-It is well authenticated fact, that
Ourshng Republic exists the OF Africa, which
will test the capacity of the black for segovern
ment This Republic has been founded by American
phllanthrOpiss, and its leading citizens people OF
color who have emigrated from the United States.
There, in the native home of the black race, will per-
haps arise powerful empire which will give the law to
all Africa and ultimately Chrlstianize and civize the
whole of that benghted continent. 1t is mighty and
noble work whic, lies before Liberia, and work which
every descendant of African should delight
take part in. II the Republic succeeds it must be man
y through the influence of ration-through
slant accession of civilized artisans from America With
out large and constant emigration the Republic will be
likely to fail and relapse into baTbarism. 1t cannot flour
sh unless gets fair start-it cannot get that start
unless those of African blood who enjoying the blessings
of civilization and Christianity, willing share the
responsibility and tho glory of forwarding the new Re-
public. Now reason whatever, why large
part OF the free black and coored population OF the Uni
ted States should not emgrate to Liberia. Indeed
do why the best thing for themselves and
their children. They will leave land in which they
looked upon inferior race and will 90 country
where they will be regarded free and independent cit
Zens equal in all respects the best of their fellow
citizens. They will take part in the formation of laws,
in the institution ofrelgon the dissemination OF learn
ing and enlightenment They will be the pioneers In
the grandest vocation upon which man can enter,
namely the subugaton of barbarism and the instaa-
tion Of civilization The whole continent will be before
them, and their whole career will be grand march
towards the regeneration Of large and important part
of Gods earth To them will be due the immortal hon
Of extngushing savage warfare of destroying the
horrible saverade of uproOtng the horrors OF domestic
slavery in Africa itself With the sign Of the they
will 90 on conquerng and to conquer until Africa shall
be elevated proper rank among the divisions Of the
earth. In going thither they will leave behind menia
empoymens and doubtful means OF living, and will find
land flowing with milk und honey goody iand, rich
IN the fruits of the field, and easily subdued by the arts
Of agriculture. They will find food in abundance and
will gradually build up mighty commerce, and take
rank among the merchant princes of the earth. The
land will remain them and their posterty forever
and they will no longer be a reproach and bywoTd
among the nations Why then should the African
in the United States hesitate 20 embark for that land of
hope Of promisel What friend of the degraded and
down-trodden children Of Africa counsel them to
withhold their hands from the great work which AL
mighty wisdom appears to have set before them!
