New ork, October 18th 1929.


Having seen by the papers of yesterday
morning, that the claims of the above society
were to be laid before the citizens of our good
ly city, by Francis S. Key, Esq of the d. G.
the Rev. Mr.. Gallaudet, of Hartford, and Capt.
Stockton, of the U. S. Navy | left home af.
ter sunset, and with very swift horse, push
ed my way to the city, at the rate of more than
ten miles per hour. Being detained at the
ferry, arrived, but in time to hear the conclu-
sion of the opening speech by the Rev. Mr..
Gallaudet, therefore can say but little about
it. But as the gentleman has Rev. to his name,
| Judge that it consisted in the slander of the
coloured population of the north, and the as
serting of the impossibility oftheir ever becom-
ing any thing in this country-They must be
held in contempt and degradation for ever, no
doubt was the harangue.


Can't. Stockton, Of the Navy, was then in
lroduced 10 TIE auulencc, Dy the chairman,
and if the designs of the American Coloniz-
alton Society, were such as represented by
that pious and talented gentleman, in an elo-
quent and impressive speech of about so min
utes 81 at once would be colonizationist,
and persuade every other man in America to
be the same-but, alas the society as body,
are not SO pure in their purposes, nor honest
in their pursuits, as the good Captain Stockton.
This F. $. Key did not fail to make very plain.


He of the Capital divulged the secret, in
speech ofmore than an hour, which tired eve-
ry body, and almost emptied the house. The
speech was characterized by repetitions and
cunning, without logic, or good sense. His
premises were all false, and consequently his
reasoning the same. He began by stating the
degraded situation of the free coloured people.
of the free and slave states, and asserted the
impossibility, in the very nature of things.
while pref ejadice dwelt in his little heart, which
cannot be bigger than cherry ; of their ever
having any privileges in this country-they
must allcays be degraded and oppressed, free
but in name, impossible that they can be other
