HAYTIAN EMIGRATION.


sSg" This column is devoted exclusively
to the great Haytian Erhigration move
ment, which is just beginning to attract
attention. AS the colored people of
this county, as we'll as all Others, have
deep interest in the enterprise, we in-
vite them to use the space allotted as
medium of communicating to each
other, and to the public, the results of
their investigation, and reflection, on
the duties and interests of the African
race, in view of their position here, and
the prospects held out to them under
the Government of the truly great Gef-
rard, in the rich and beautiful Island,
aud rising Republic of Hayti. Short
, and pertinent articles will be received
from persons of whatever color, and in
! the absence of such communications the
column will be filled with such infor-
nation en- the subject as we may be able
! to obtain
THE stream of emigration to Hayti is
steady and increasing. Several colonies
from Ohio have already found homes
in the beautiful Island" and many
more are preparing to follow. We take
from the last Pine and Palm, the fol-
lowing, in which some of our readers
may be interested.

Z. P. WALKER
/ Mr. Walker is talented, energetic
colored man, who has been lecturing to
his people on the subject of emigration,
and proves his faith his theory by rails
ing colony which he accom- panies, as
will be seen by his card. If any of the
colored people here have contemplated
removal this Spring, no better oppor-
tunity could be desired than is offered
in the movement of this colony.
While we would not urge an indis-
criminate rush to Hayti, or encourage
expectations which could not be re-
allied, we have no doubt that that
Island is to give to the world, the first
grand demonstration of negro nation
ality, with prosperity and progress, un-
der wise and benefcient Government
! of their own race.
TIE Pine ard Palm publishes a let
ter from its Chillicotbe correspondent,
J. III. Williams, dated the 18th ult., in
which he says:
Already to the awakened visions of
many, the Island of Hayti looms up fair
as were the Hesperian Gardens, and
some are really making efforts to see be-
! fore they die, that terrestrial paradise.
Among these are Charles D. Williams,
who will sail on the 25th inst, aud who
goes pursued by the pensions of large
circle of friends, several Of whom will
be largely influenced in their future
movements, by the account he may give
of his observation and experiences; and
Mr.. Robert Jackson, practical farmer
and man Of sense, means, to go there
with his family, and says he will be
ready by the first proximo.
Others speak earnestly of going in the
Autumn, preferring to await advices
from Charles D. Williams.
Hoping that the movement may be
thorough success, remain,
Yours truly j. Ii. W.
