The PLAN FOR FREEDOM. The colonial
ton Of Kansas and Nebraska by freemen, de-
termined to exclude Slavery from those terri
tories, and as auxiliary thereto, the immediate
organization and active cooperation of the En-
IGRANT AID SocIETY proposed i'll yesterdays
TRIBUNE, has been eagerly seized upon by
some of our best and most distinguished citi-
zens, and private preliminary meeting will
be Immediately held in furtherance of its sug-
gestions The great mission of colonizing
Kansas and Nebraska with free population
will, we are confident, secure general and
hearty cooperation throughout the free States.
The alacrity with which the first suggestion of
feasible plan for this purpose is responded to
in this city, and the tenor of the letters we
are receiving from other points, testify unmis-
takably to the profound interest that exists on
the subject in the public mind and the uni
yersal willingness to embrace scheme prom
Using such wide and benchcent results. The
organization Of apowerful Association of large
capital, IN aid of the cause of human freedom
is step III new direction of philanthropie-
effort, which may well enlist the sympathies
of The sci sd and benevolent, not only Of this
country, but of all mankind. In view of the
monstrous wrongs which slavery is at this hour
meditating. in view of the enormitv it has but
Just perpetrated, the heart of every man who
has one spark of humanity i'll his bosom, must
be stirred as with the sound of a trumpet by
thu suggestion of a remedy SO simple, so COM
prehensive, and so practical
We should but insult our readers by adj
ducing considerations in detail, at this i'm
portant crisis in our national history, to in
duee them to engage in the great work before
us. The duty to be done is rather to aid in
giving the machinery, it is proposed to set in
motion, proper direction. The great labors
of the world have been performed by Associa-
ton. Our Societies for the spread of the
Bible and the diffusion of Christianity--and
our other varied combinations for benevolent
objects-all demonstrate the immense power
of we'll directed associative effort. If it be
our duty to spie cad Christianity over the world,
it lisa precedent obligation resting ON us to pre-
pare the waste places of the earth for its re-
ceptlon. But what sort OF Christianity can he
spread over land cursed with human Sla-
very This indicates the Importance in which
we hold this new Association for the spread
of Liberty. Let it grow and expand till it
shall become the cloud by day and the pillar
of fire by night to the lovers of Freedom all
over the earth. Its first aim is to secure Kan
sas and Nebraska as free States. But when
these are redeemed from the perils that now
encompass them, the Society will advance
upon objects of even wider scope. Con-
trolling the direction of the great stream of
European emigration which Office it should
aspire to, and may certainly reach--its oppor-
tunities for good will be CO extensive with the
continent. Clothed with the moral power,
enjoying the confidence, and welding the
pecuniary resources of the whole body of
Anti Slavery men in the North, which may
now be rcckoned as constituting nineteen
twentieths Of the population, its onward
course must be irresistible, and its work con-
tinue till all the new Territories of this Re-
public are occupied by populous free States.
