COLONIZATION OF FREE BLAcKs.-A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, while
commencing Hon. F. p. Blair's lecture on
the American colonization of free blacks,
claims for the late Benjamin Lundy, mem
Der of the Society of Friends, the origina-
ton of the scheme of founding, somewhere
on this continent, near the tropics, such a
colony as Mr.. Blair now advocates. The
writer states that Mr.. Lundy traversed all
the States, in the collection of facts bearin g
upon this subject, which he subsequently
published in paper entitled Views of Uni
versal Emancipation" About the year
183o-31, Mr.. Lundy visited Mexico, and
having fixed upon tract of country con-
sidered suitable for his project, in the State
of Tamaulipas, on west coast of The Gulf,
he succeeded in negotiating a treaty with
the Mexican Government for the transfer of
that tract In 1882 be returned to this
country, and began his preparations for the
grand work of colonization. But before
anything was effected. the Texas revolution
broke out, and the noble scheme was en-
tirely frustrated. The Gazette's CORES
pondent thinks that the rupture in Texas
was precipitated by knowledge of the de-
signs and practical success of Mr.. Lundy.

Cancellation proposed in the organization
OF the party, its mcinbers have given .
signalinstance Of sectional disinterestedness
y che nomination Of he candidates. The
Southern members taking tie lead in this
matter, propose the nomination Of Edward
Everett native and resident of Massachu-
sets, state which above all others is held
to be the most inimical to the rights and
interest ofthe south. With equal magnan-
unity Dir. Everett declines the nomination.
and the northern members propose in his
stead. John Bell man born and raised
in q Southern State; who has through
every period of his career been an earnest
supporter of southern interest, and who but
for Lis political moderation and conser-
vatisn would have been to them the most
Objectionable man they could have selected;
but the generous rivalry does not end here.
Southern members reserve this acquiscence
in the nomination until they have received
Mr.. Everetts consent TO be the nominee for
the second Office in the nation. Such an
instance of political courtesy and corce.-
sion has seldom been Witnessed aud eyia-

Of the merits of these candidates, We
