gave account OF the present phases of this move

The movement has never ceased since it began.
Sin glc families and small parties are constantly
irving at the North. These are generally people
who have some means, and their removal does not
attract much public attention. The chief action
being taken in the matter at this season j. that of
organization. Companies for colonization have
been formed in many localities. Some of these adj
nit only persons who have means TO buy land and
make good start for themselves after they reach
the North Others are made up of such are only
able 10 pay their way to the North, and for whom
work must therefore be found "a they AZ
rive. The moving spirits Of these organizations
are generally men who served in the Union army
in the war; and who find the experience thus
gained great help to them nov. \ large majority
of the cOlored men who came up last spring ana
summer hold honorable discharges from tht HILL

While the removals last Spring were unexpected
and unpsOyded Tor, those which take place here
after Will not be. Plans have been carefully laid 20

Investigations into the Demerara sugar question

Of the report seems to have been to create the

Mr. Mckay had no authority of any kind from the
