Halfway II ca3lass.

We are reminded BY the feceip. Of tie last
annual veport Of the American Colonization
Society, OF the failure of II efforts toward
reform that are anything less than radical
The history Of the word teaches the same
moral by thousand instances which genera
ton after generation con,umaciousy refuse 10
heed. After the most convincing proof tina,
radicaism and progress are Synonymous, re-
peated indefinitely, the world is still full of
Trimme S. The very word radical is applied
by one political party to another as term of
reproach.
When the chonicles Of America are made
up, History will rest her pen to smile as she
records the plan Of colonization. The move,
ment was inaugurated by able men froa,
commendabie motive, but with singular i'm.
practicability and u blind misconception of the
way that wrongs may be rghted. The end
was The destruction of the institution OF sla.
very-the means, carrying four millions of
slaves across the ocean in boat. Ye. this
society las persevered in the effort for fif,y
J'si "s nos 0hIOiicu, ~ ulHefpnI periods,
among its Numbers some Of orr foremost
statesmen. lis results are summed M in the
simple statement tina. il has deprived this
country OF about thirteen thousand useful in.
du 'trious ana loyal citiz.ns. This valuable
consummaiion has been attained at an expense
Of two and one half millions Of dollars. These
people were, with perhaps few exceptions
born on our soil and have almost the affection
OF tue Laplan der for the place of their nativi
~. They were peculiarly adapted TO the eli
mate Of the South, and as laborers in the mos,
productive portions Of the country their place
cannot be i'll He'd by any other race So utterly
absurd and inhuman was this proposed dep.
ortation of some OF the best bone and sinew Of
the nation!
For some years past the association has
been in receipt Of an annual appropriation
from the United States. II is not least among
the wise acts Of the 39,h Congress tina, it pu,
stop to this misarplicaton OF the peoples
money. That the society should still persevcre
in its efforts, after the events of the lasl few
years is certainly strange. Yet such is tho
fact We notice in the list of officers sucl,
men as Horatio Seymour. James r Doolitrle.
John Bell, franklin Pierce and Willard Fill.
