says:
Since The project has been discussed here
of seeking homes in tho West, on lands

feeling in favor Of emigration has increased,
and is now only held in check by those WHO
are looked up to for leadership in this move
mcnt and who wait for further Developments
here, and for Trustworthy information in re-
ference to the most promising fields for thcir
future settlement, and tho formation or def
mite plans, and the certainty of means for
reaching their place Of destination. The
colorcd people only wait for definite plans to
be formed. and the starting of tho forward
movement, then thousands would forthwith
take their chances for homes and a future in
the great West When they once fully make
up their minds to go they will not be deferred,
whatever the personal sacrifices may be to
them. They are sure they have nothing to
lose herc by their removal. and the chances
arc in their fnvor elsewhere.
