and Hayti.

The adyocatcs Of colonization will read with
interest the following account Of the progress
Of the colored emigration from Louisiana to
Harti, i movement which is fostcred By TIT
government Of President Gcfrard. We copy
from the New Orleans I'icay,.ne:
The emigration to the Island Of Hayti, or St.
Domingo, Of free colored people from this
State, at tlrEt commenced Oil small scale, md,
with irregllarity, has assumed m unexpected
magnitude since President Gctf1a1d's govern
mtnt, established on solid basis of l1w and
order, has made known to the black people of
this country tho truthfulncss Of its promises
aud the sincerity Of its desire to give cyery
facility to the emiyrant, who in return carries
to Hayti his labor and capital, his Industrious
habits and respect for the laws, acquired by
bis constant contact with the white people Of
the 6outh-in word, his civilization" su
much needed by the Haytians:
Gc1rard's agent, Mr. l. L. Doree, born and
raised IN New Orleans, where he has concilia-
ted the esteem OF many Of our citizens hy his
integrity, modest behavior, intelligence, and
many good qualities, and enjoys thcrebya con-
sidcraiion far more useful and honorable to
him than the ca1lting fraternity nnd equality
profiercd to men OF his race by the fanatirnl
abo1ltionists Of the North, has been quite sue.
ctssful in organizing systematically the Gull
gratiou. and hundreds offfce colorrd families,
shipped by bis care, within the past two years,
have settled on the rich lands Of Haytl, where
they now live happy, enjoying : certain,
peaceful prosperity, md by the influence of
their example, rccfaiming that rich soil aud in
itiating the tndolent Haytians to life ofiudus-
try mid enterprise, the best calculated to
secure their. future welfare Us people, let
alone the moral reform and happy social iuilu-
cnccs which are sure to result thcrcfronn-
We have looked at this movement of emf
grafton only so far as it concerns the people Of
Hayti, without entering into distinctions Of
races in speculating upon the more or less ca
pacity Of the negro for self goycrnmen.-that
Is their own business and not ours, We are stat
fng Glcts, not discussing them. But we must
not overlook another consideration brought
hume to us-the question is this emigration
desirAhle for the people Of our State- We be-
Geyc 1t Il, and the same opinion is entertained
in other places in the South. Now more than
ever, the condition Of the free blacks in our
midst is uncertain, gives rise to constant sus-
liclons, which cause MS annoyance and makes
their position alike painful and unsettled. Be-
tween the white finaster and the black slave,
they are i'll ut case and cannot cease to be So
Their place is not among us. Nor arc they
pleased with the life Of the free States; they
need our Southern cline and far from 1t they
cannot live content; We hare frequent In
stances Of southern free blacks cmigrating
to the North, and after few years seeking to
return to their old homes, and when the laws de-
barred them tfom entering their uatiye stateas

slaves rather than lie slut out from their dear
plantation life, Now, Hayti Offers them a
southern c1imatc md rich soil, fertile not
only in oll the products Of the South, but in
others too numerous 10 mention, that make Of

are industrious in their habits and Law abiding,
they may enjoy quiet and happy life, without

portance that . steamer has been placed for the
first time In the line between New Orleans aud

Of St. Marc aud Port III Prince. She will con-
