have long believed that the colonization en-
terpsise is one Of the most glorious enterprises
Of the nineteenth century; and one Of the most
serious charges feel bound to make u,.ins,
tho Abolitionists, is their strnpge and uuac-
countablc opposition to this great enterprise,
fraught with so many blessings to the African
race. and since they were so greatly in the
wrong in their estimate Of the colonization

prevailing prejudice amougstth m against going
to foreign land of which they have heard so

s!ases OF other men. Consequently he cannot
send them without snndcrlpg family ties to which
they would not aud shoult not consent. Some
shareholders can, in this way, secure freedom
to their slares; and, indeed, many lave done It,
but the large majority probably cannot do it
