with an ample capital, and the enlistment Of
men of large experience and great influence,
in the enterprise of establishing colonies of
free men in the fertile territories of the West.
is the commencement of an undertaking from,
which great and beneficial results are sure to
follow. From what we know of the move
ment, as it has thus FAR developed itself, and Of
the men who are foremost in carrying it for
ward, we have every reason to believe that the
present season will not be suffered to pass
away, without the maturing of regular plan
of emigration, by which towns and villages of
free laborers will be made to spring up in that
magnificent heritage, one after another, in rap.

with liberty loving population, whom slave
holders cannot seduce from their allegiance t.

firm foundation as the basis of their State

tyranous institutions which have crushed and
impoverished them in the lands Of their natiy-

Justly says--"A noble heart will disdain to
snbsist, like drone, upon honey gathered by
others' labors; like n vermin, to fitch its food
out Of the public granary; OF like a shark, Ia
prey on the lesser fry; but will rather Guido
his private obligations TO other mems care and

sort, from the sceptre to the spade, the man

troublesome times, was unceasing in the culti-
