est by our friends and brethren:


You are aware that the idea has been
suggested and The sentiment has become
popular to a considerable extent, that such
are the preiudlces existing between the
white and coIonfed population, or rather
in tie white against tie colonred people,
that it viii be Impossible essentially TO I'M
prove our cunduipn, while we live III this
country, anu that tie only possible means
by which we can he benefited is a to, a!
emigration to the land Of our fo'efathers.


That preiudices do exist is too obvious
to be denied, an0 that these preJudlces are
extensive and deeply rooted is equally trne:
but that they are SO universal, as is pre-
tended, or SO deeply rooted that they CAM
not be eradicated is to me at least doubt
ful. | mean not to raise NY voice against
all the operations of the colonization SO
ciety whatever may have been the motives
OF its founders, or present supporters. |
would wish to give it an impartial investi-
cation, and award to it all the merit to
which it can Justly lay claim. am free
to admit that well regulated colony upon
the western coast Of Africa viii be pro-
ductIve of great good it will do much to-

utterly chimerical and absurd 1t is esti-
mated that at the present time, there are
in the United States $500 600 of colour
ed people, and that their annual increase
is from so to $4,000, and that the bare
cost Of their removal, according to the re-
port of the committee Of the United State
Senate on foreign affairs, would be accord
ing TO the following ratio +: ",he removal
OF the free people Of colour S2S, 90, 600 and
of then annual increase $7O0, 900 ,he ill.,
crease of The slaves $1,000 600, and the
whole number of slaves 80 ,OOO, GOO" SO
that the aggregate amount, M cessary for
The removal OF both freemen and slaves
would be at least 2IS, 600, 900 this is pro-
badly as correct as any estimate that can
be found We say in view of these fac,s
that if indeed the Almighty would work |
similar miracle 10 ihai which was wrought
