ment, that the American Colonization Society has
been so inudicious in the selection of its counsel
as to retain in its behalf the services of the said
T. ;. Clarke; and, that in so far as the action of
the sad ]: >. Clarke in thus ordering execution
TO be issued against the McDonogh estate. is sane
toned by the said Society, its conduct will be re
garded by this Council, utterly at variance with
every dictate of courtesy and respect the memory
OF Its beneiactor. and tending only to excite the
Orleans and BatimO e.
Resoiccd also, That if the American Colonization
Society has become Strengthened in its financial
resources, or so eager to convert into money, the
bequest given to it by its benelactor to sanction
executions issued at the instance of its counsel
against the estate of Mr.. McDonogh in manner cal
cuated only to embarrass the proper and equitable
settlement OF his estate, and divert into the pockets
OF Mr.. Clarke, funds designed bv Mr.. McDonoph TO
be bestowed upon objects more worthy of his re-
gard-the sooner the said Society removes the said
I. ). Clarke and goes into liquidation, the less dis
grace will bring upon its name and the noble OBJ
Jects for which it was originally designed and
organized
