when kInss made mucho foOls, as,they some.
times do yep sprang from corner and advised

This was sage advice, though hcanc nom .
repused fool. II was prudent COUNSEL 70 wn'cn

prophesically announce, and four millions Oh

& One branch of Congress, the Houae' has
passed a presty sweeping emancipation bill, to
which is tackled a provision giving the President
authority to negotiate for, or otherwise obtain
foreign territory, on which 70 coloAize such oi
the freed negroes as may be willing to emigrate'
But the bill proVides for emancp patton first, and
then territory for colonization Is to be obtained
III It can be, ltmly not be obtained at all, OF
little, at so late a period as to be OF li'tle
ursc.ical value. All the evils Of emancipation
win be upon the couptry-the negroes will
swarm over the land like the locusts over Egypt
before an asylum abroad will sbe procured fol
them. in7 o@ il l'Hew ',,

consistency at least, demand the passage
emancipation bills. --e..
! But the leaders in the Abolition ranks do no
mean colonization, though they hold 1t out as
lure to the people, in order to soften or silence
opposition to their wild and fanatical scheme o.
general emancipation. 1t is evident they d'
no. mean colonization that will amount TO an!
practical good for these reasons among others
If they were sincere, they would not uncag'
the tiger, until they had prepared safe place
. 10 which he should be kept. They would no
turn loose upon cur country an army Of Egyp

pond or marsh, in which they could in perfeo
freedom, jump and crOsk to their hearis' con
: tent, and do nobody any serious harm.
Moreover, if the Abolition. Republicans ant
Fusionists really believed and meant that col
onizslou would ever amount to anything more
than to humbug white people, they would mo-
propose, as they do, saying to the emAncipated
"darkey," when they find foreign asylum fol
him, which II is not likely they will ever find
l"Mr, Mig you are nov free to 60 where you
please in all this broad land, which belongs you
as much as il does to US white folks Someo
the whites would like to have you leave the
country; but you can do just as you please about
it--go or stay just as you like" i l9d
Practically, this is just what the Abolitionista
in Congress propose that the Government shall
say to the negro slaves, when it has made them
free. To this complexion comes their coloniza-
tion seheme.- Was there ever more trans
parent humbug? r,.,,..I o.z. ~.
