The incorporation of an Emigrant's Aid
association, by the Legislature of Massachu-
stts, with an ample capital and the enlist
. tent of men of large experience and great in
uence, in the enterprise of establishing col
, MES of free men in the fertile territories of
ae West, is the commencement of an under
liking from which great and beneficial results
re sure to follow. From what we know of
be movement, as it has thus far developed it.
elf, and of the men who are foremost in car
ying it forward we have every reason to be-
ieve that the present season will not be suffer-
to pass away, without the maturing of
egular plan of emigration, by which towns
md villages of free laborers will be made to
pring up in that magnificent heritage, one af-
er another, in rapid succession. Towns which
viii be peopled with liberty loving population,
whom shareholders cannot seduce from their
allegiance to free institutions, and who will
establish upon firm foundation, as the basis
f their State organizations, the great republic
an doctrine, of the equality of all men before
he law, as they are all equal before God.
Let the Emigrants Aid Association of Mas
achusetts, established by Massachusetts, law,
mpelled by Massachusetts, capital, and con-
lucted by Massachusetts business talent, but
ct its shoulder to the great work of circum-
renting the designs of the shareholders, in this
eminently practical way, and the cause of
House of Representatives, at Washington,
should follow in the footsteps of a servile Sem
ate, andremove all the barriers to the spread
of slavery there, which have so long been es-
tablished
We know that slavery is eminently aggres-
siye but we know, also, that freedom is en-
inently progressive, and while the patriarchs
of the South are assembling their bond SER
wants for the march, in order to take possess
sion Of those distant wilds, it would not be the
srangest thing in the world if the toll nursed
young men of New England should be there
before them, to outnumber them in every set
Element, outwork them upon every prairie,
and in every forest, and outvote them, too,
when the great question of Z" freedom or slave
ry" comes up at the polls, for the action Of
"squatter sovereignty
There are thousands of young men, in New
England, just starting in the race of life, who
are ready for any hardship. or any adventure,
where honor, or the hope of profit leads the
way. There are thousands, and tens of thou
sands daily landed upon our shores, from the
old world, seeking an asylum here, from the
tyranous institutions which have crushed and
impoverished them in the lands of their natiy-
ity, and to all such, the Elnigrants' Aid So
ciety viii have more than words of hope and
encouragement. Its agencies, in every great
northern city of the Union, conducted by re-
sponsible men, devoting their whole time and
energies to the furtherance of the objects of
the Society, will be ready, at all times. to fur
nish the needed information, as to the locali-
ties, soil, climate, and productions, to all who
may desire to avail themselves of it. They
will be able to direct, by these, and other ia
cilities, which they will have always on hand,
such torrent Of emigration into those sparse
ly settled territories, as will make the air re
sound with the hum Of productive industry,
and the prairies smile with harvests, as luxu-
RANT as ever rewarded the toll of the husband
man. Then, when the demoniac Spirit Of
Slavery casts its lustful eye, the next time,
over that broad domain, it will see how vain
and futile are all its efforts to stay the pro-
gress of the worlds advancement, or to check
the growth Of the institutions of freedom. Il
will not ask, from northern traitors and dough
faces, in the council chambers of the nation
any other boon, hereafter, than to be let alone
where il now exists, under the sanction of it,
own local laws; and there the friends of FIRE,
soil, free labor, and free men, can afford to le
itremain-for, circumseribed within its owl
limits, it must die, ere long, of the evils whicl
itself engenders.
