discussed with eminent ability in both houses of congress by powerful minds have recently agitated the whole country fears have been felt and expressed the dill'erences between the south and the north

to two races of men and two quarters ol the globe ihat we deem it worthy of the gen erous patronage of individuals and ol the state and general governments in the support of this scheme our duty and

rescued wide regions and a vast pop ulation from the horrors of the slave trade .' — from the darkness of ignorance and the most cruel of heathen superstitions to liberia we direct the eyes of our ! free people of color not as to a land of ex ile but as to an inheritance of liberty of wealth of honor and renown — a field for triumphs virtues and rewards — a thea tre for heroic and memorable
