NEGRO COLONIZATION.

The Blacks of Washington City, now that
Slavery has been abolished there, arc memor-
iaizing Congress in favor of plan of coloni-
zatoa substantially like that of which Dir.
Francis p. Blair has SO long been the most
conspicuous advocate. No doubt they would
prefer that their colony should be located
within the limits of the United States. and we
believe it every way advisable that it should
be. Were Florida set apart for their future
use and improvement, we believe they would
do much better by it, aud render it far more
useful TO mankind than it will ever DO under
slayeholding management But, since this Is
denied them, they do well in calling on Con
gress to procure and set apart for them q
region outside of our present boundaries,
where they may be permitted to work out a
higher destiny under the production of that
native land which has just begun to recognize
/ lis obligations to the bumblest and most
despised OF all her children.
To those who, from whatever motive, are
intent on the colonization of the Blacks, We
would commend the significance of this move
ment in Washington. Time and effort and money
enough have been spent in trying to colOnizc
the Free Blck- in order to remove peril to
Slavery, with very indifferent success; but
Slavery being banished from the Federal Dis
trict, those same negroes, with new sense oi
their own dignity as men, new aspiratloh
burning in their breasts, look forward 10
country of their own. wherein the brutal
prejudice which crushes them here shall no
longer be felt. Grant that those who thus
feel and act on the instant are but haholu''
they are sui moved by an impulse when Time
will tindle in the heart, Of the entire race.
To those who are honestly desrous to get
rid Of the negro race, We would say, the hey
note 10 all successful enterprise, all desirable
movement, is FREEDOM. Within the lifetime
If the present generation. millions of the IrI-h
nave left their beloved native land in quest OF
rights and social opportunities which they feel
are denied them N the home Of theI nau birl9i ,al

apuroach 70 nearly afford unequaled facilities

to migrate-we are utterly opposed to all com
