Mr. We"s'er then concluded by putting :
Tue resolutions to the Society. They wero

journed.
These views of Mr.. Webster prcsen,
the subject of African Colcnzation--in a
plain and practical manner, anl viii tend
to inspire greater confidence in the rca.;al.
i'y and ultimate success Of the scheme. The
mere cant OF philanthropy has had enough
to say ofthc merits Of this movement; "a
nat'cism, as well on the one side as the
other. has accomplished its usual result. Of
mischicfonly. II the friends ami patrons
of the enterprise, would dscoun,enancc
all such agencies, aad rely more upon the
good sense of mankind and the inevitable
necessity for providing an outlet for the
surplus population Of this character, they
would accomplish more The history Of
this Soclety's operations will show that
they have done much towards relieving
society Of what all admit to be one Of its
pcrnlclous constltuents,and this they have
done without rcsoriipg to a means. Of late
much advocated, but rcvotinsto humani-
ty: viz compulslon.
From document before us, we learn,
that under its an-pice nearly ten thousand
free colored persons have emigra,cd to
Liberia. They have established free re-
publican government. and acquired by
peaceful means a large extent Of country.
embracing two hundred thousand people.
and Astounding in the elements Of agricul-
tural and commercial prosperity. They
have made prudent laws and administered
their affairs with regularity and Justice
They have churches. schools and mechanic
arts, and live up to n standard of cviliza-
ton, by no means contemplate. They
have succeeded in supprcssing the slave
trade along several hundred miles e sea-
coast, and may by an extension of their
settlements be the means Of cxrn gushing
entirely that most brutal Of al the sins Of
man.
The social and natural causes, that opc.
rate 10 induce the emigration OF free blacks
TO Africa, are the same which have al
ways separated the various classes of II
community, and driven out the inferior I,
seek new home. The inequality of
rights and privileges is the great motive
power To emigration. 1t is now dopopu-
luling Ireland ard dccima,ing Germany
The cause and its operation are immnra-
Die with reference 10 every race and color.

Tiers ofthis people were the cmigrant fugi

The great principle dat has reoplcd

easily re. people the native land Of the AZ
rican.
The necessity that exists for an clinna
tion,at some time, this hurin element ia
our social system il memorable Colon-
zalion seems to open door for The pur-
pose. Wheeler that door is viLc enough,
we will not undertake 10 sny. But We
feel that we can safely recommend It nsr the
wisrst and safest as vel as the most hn-
name scheme that has y,t appealed 10 tie

Of our people.
