'Relieving that examination and reflection
will shew that such are its connections and
endency, they are encouraged to present
themselves, and their cause, where they
k ,ov that a public measure, having these
advantages, cannot fail to receive all the
countenance and aid it may require.
The last census shews the number of free
people of Cdlor or the United States, k their
r jid encrease. Supposing them tocncrease
in the same ratio, it will appear how large a
proportion ot our population will, i„ the
course nt even a few years, consist of per
sons of that description. .
No argument is necessary to shew that
this is very far indeed from conslilutin
eor ease of our physical strength; nor
there be a population, m any country, neu
tral as to its effects upon society. The least
observation shews that this description of
■rons are not, and cannot be, either use
r happy among us ; and many comidc
itiuns, which need not he mentioned, prove,
; yi,nd dispute, that it is best, lor all tin
ikies interested, that there, should lx- a se-
iration; that those who are now free, and
use who may Income so hereafter,should
■ provided with the means of attaining to a
•iteof respectability and happiness, which,
is certain, they have never yet reached,
id, therefore, can never be likely to reach,
iliis country.
Several of the states, deeply interested in
i is subject, have already applied to the ge-
t.iI government; and, concurring in the
cwh of your n s norialists, both from eon-
derations of justice towards themselves
id humanity to the colored people, have
(pressed, to the general government, ihorr
■sire that a country should be procured for
iem, in the land of tlieir forefathers, to
wliieh hiicIi of them as should choose to avail
themselves of the opportunity, might be re
moved. It has been the one single object
of the Society, which your memorialists re
present, to enVet this end. They have made
the most cautions and particular enquiries as
to the practicability of such a plan, and its
prospects of success, both in this country
■ nd in Africa, and they are warranted in
lecturing, that there are no difficulties which
hey do not confidently expect w ill be easily
iveroomc by a moderate exertion of discre-
inn and perseverance.
In this country, and in almost every part
if it, they have found a zealous and dec ided
ipprnhution expressed, both in words and
leads, by a vast majority of all classes of
air citizens ; and this sentiment is continu-
,|y encreasing as the measure becomes
norc the sulijx ct of discussion and reflcc-
jon. Its importance all admit; and its
racticnbility, though dolibled by many, at
rst. is daily less questioned.
The two last reports of the Society, to
Inch your memorialists beg leave to refer,
itw the success of their mission to Africa,
id the result of tlirir enquiries upon that
mtimbif. From these it is manifest, that
situation can be readily obtained, fax orn-
c to commerce and agriculture, in a hcal-
iy and fertile country, and that tlie natives
•e well disposed to give every euenurage-
icntto the establishment of such a settlo-
e,it among them. Thus, it appears, that
1 object of great national concern, already
tpressly desired by some ofthc states, and
ulv desirable to all, receiving, also, the ap-
■ebation of those upon whom it is more
(mediately to operate, is brought within
n reach.
But this subject derives, perhaps, its chief
terest from its connection with a measure
hich has, already, to the honor of ourcoim-
y, occupied the. deliberations Of the Uou-
ess ofthc United States.
Your memorialists refer, with pleasure,'
the Act, passed at the last session oi Con-
ess, supplementary to the Act formerly
ssed for the suppression ofthc slave trade.
ic means afforded, by the provisions of
at act, for the accomplishment of its o'b-
:t, are certainly great; but the total extir-
tion of this disgraceful trade cannot, per-
ps, be expected from any measures which
ly alone upon the employment of amari
ne force, however considerable.
The profits attending it arc so extraordi-
ry, that the cupidity of the unprincipled
if still be tempted to continue it, as long
there is any chance of escaping the vigi-
ice of the cruizevs engaged against them,
oin the best information your memnrial-
s have been able to obtain, of the nature,
uses, and course of this trade, and of the
jsent situation of the coast of Africa, and
i habits and dispositiortftf the natives, they
• well assured that the. suppression of the
rican slave trade,’ anti thff civifeation of
“ natives, are measures of indispensable
inertion.
Such an opinion has been avowed, many
ars ago, by those best acquainted with
s subject, and experience has abundantly
ifirmed it.
The documents and papers which your
■morialists Iwul heretofore the honor of
renting to Congress, and those contained
the late reports of the Society, prove this
sition.
Since the establishment of the English
tlement at Sierra Leone, the slave trade
S been rapidly ceasing upon that part of
I coast.
Not only the kingdoms in its immediate
Ighborliond, but those upon the Sherbro
il Uugroo rivers, and others with whom
! people, of that settlement have opened
lomraunication, have hcen prevailed upon
abandon it, and are turning their attention
the ordinary and innocent pursuits ofeivi-
&d nations.
That the same consequences will result
in similar settlements cannot be doubted,
hen the natives there see that the Euro-,
an commodities, for which they have
un accustomed to exchange their follow
ings, until vast and fertile regions have he
me almost depopulated,can be more casi-
and safely obtained by other pursuits, can
be believed that they will hesitate to pro-
l by the experience ? Nor will the advan
ces of civilization be alone exhibited. The.
leligion, whose mandate is “peace on earth
nd good will towards men, will “doits
rrandwill deliver them from the bon-
lage ol their miserable superstitions, and
lisplay the. same triumphs which it is achiev
ing in every land.
That such points of settlement would dif
fuse their light around the coast, and gradu
ally dispel the darkness which has so long
enshrouded that continent, would be a rea
sonable hope, and would justify the attempt,
even if experience had not ascertained its
success. Although, therefore, much may
ho effected by the vigilant Operations of a
well disposed naval force, it is to he feared
that much will always remain to be done,
until some degree of civilization is attained
bv the inhabitants of the coast of Africa.—
Tho present measures, therefore, for the sup
pression of the slave trade, if unconnected
with others for the improvement ofthc na
tives, must ha long continued, and the effects'
produced by them will be partial, tedious,
and uncertain; and the least relaxation of
this vigilance will revive it.
But those measures,and all others involv
ing expense, and labor, may be withdrawn,
is soon as these establishments upon the
Edast become strong enough to participate
in the contest against avarice and inhumani
ty, and shall obtain, from tlieir evident ad
vantages over the natives, a proper influence
among them. And here your memorialists
beg leave, respectfully, to suggest tlieir fears
that many of the profligate adventurers in.
this trade will evade the search of our cruiz-
era by their artful contrivances in disguising
their national character. We have reason
to believe that the slave ships of other na
tions assume the flag and character of Ame
ricans to evade the search of British cruiz-
ers. Is it not, therefore, to be expected
that the act lately passed will often lie de
feated by American slave ships assuming
a foreign flag mid character ? A careful con
sideration ot this subject has convinced us
that all our efforts will be insufficient to ac
complish their purposes, unless some friend
ly arrangement can be made among flu- lnn-
l-iliinc powers of the world, which shall
leave no shelter to those who desi rvr to be
considered and treated as the common ene
mies of mankind.
Whether a permission, under any modifi
cation, to certain specified ships, or in cer
tain latitudes, to search and maze slave ships
under our fiag, such as Great-Brituiu, and
other European powers, have mutually giv
en to each other, can lie properly granted
by our government, we cheerfully li ave to
the wisdom mid justice of Congress to de
termine. Your memorialists will only ex
press their hope and belief, that your delibe
rations upon this interesting subject will en
able you to discern a way, without any coni-
proinitment of our national honor, by w liich
our country may be placed among the fore
most and .mist efficient asserters of the
rights of humanity. But your memorialists
humbly consider, that the colonization of
Africa offers the most powerful and indis
pensable auxiliary to the naans already
adopted, lot the extermination of a trade,
which is now exciting, in every country, that
just indignation, which lias been long since
fell and expressed in this.
No nation lias it so much in its power to
furnish proper settlers for such establish
ments as tbc: ; no nation lias so deep an in
terest in thus disposing of them. By the
law passed at the last session, and before re
ferred to, the captives who may lie taken by
our ernizers from the slave ships, are to be
taken to Africa, and delivered to the custo
dy of agents appointed by the President.—
There'will then be a scttleincut of captured
negroes upon the coast, in consequence of
the measures already adopted. Ami it is
evidently most important, if not necessary
to such a settlement, that the civilized pen-'
ile uf color, of this country, whose industry,
cnterprize, and knowledge of agriculture,
and the arts, would render them most use
ful assistants, should he connected with such
an establishment.
When, therefore, the object of the Colo
nization Society is viewed, in connection
with that entire suppression of the slave
trade, which your memorialists trust it is re
solved shall be effected, its importance be
comes obvious and extreme. The benefici
al consequences resulting from success in
such a measure,it is impossible to calculate.
To the general cause of humanity, il will af
ford the most rich and noble contribution,
and for the nation that regards that cause,
that employs its power in its behalf, it can
not fail to procure a -proportionate rew ard.
is by such a course that a nation insures
to itseii the protection and favor of the Go
vernor of tlv* world. Nor are there want
ing views and considerations, arising from
our peculiar political institutions, which
«oil'd justify the sure expectation of the
liiusi signal blessings to uuisdiCS from i|it‘
complishnient of such an object. If one
of these consequences shall he gradual, and
almost imperceptible,the removal of a nation
al evil, which all unite in lamenting, and for
which, with the most intense, but hitherto
hopeless anxiety, the patriots and statesmen
of our country have labored to discover a
remedy, who can doubt, that, of all the bles
sings we may be permitted to bequeath to
our descendants, this will receive the richest
tribute of their thanks and veneration ?
Your memorialists cannot luneve that
such an evil, universally acknowledged and
deprecated, iias been irre.movably fixed up
on us. Some way will always be opened
hy Providence, by which a people., desirous
of acting justly and bene volently, may he
led to the attainment ofa meritorious object.
And they believe, that-of all the. plans, that
the most sagacious and 'discerning of our pa
triots have, suggested, for effecting what they
have so greatly desired, the colonization of
Africa, in Use manner proposed, presents the
fairest prospects of success. But if it be
admitted to he ever so doubtful, whether this
happy result shall be the reward of our ex
ertions, vet, if great and certain benefits im
mediately attend them, why may not others,
still greater, follow them ?
In a work evidently progessive, who shall
assign limits to the good that zeal and per
severance shall he permitted to accomplish?
Your memorialists beg leave to state, that,
having expended considerable funds in pro
secuting tlieir inquiries and making prepara
tions, tiiey are now about to send out a co
lony, ami complete the purchase, already
stipulated for with the native kings and
chiefs of Sherbro, of a suitable territory for
their establishment. The number they art-
now enabled to transport and provide for. is
but a small proportion of the people of co
lor who have expressed tlieir desire to go.
And without a larger and more sudden in
crease of their funds than can be expected
from the voluntary contributions of indiv i
duals, their progress must be slow and un
certain. They have always flatten'd them
selves with the hope, that when it was seen
they had surmounted the difficulties of pre
paration, k shewn that the means applied to
the execution of their design, would lead di
rectly and evidently to its accomplishment,
they Would be enabled to obtain for it the
national countenance and assistance. To
this point they have arrived; and they there
fore respectfully request, that this interest
ing subject may receive the consideration of
your honorable body, and that the. Execu
tive Department maybe authorized,in such
way as may meet your approbation, to ex
tend to this abject such pecuniary and other
aid, as it may be thought to require and de
serve.
Your memorialists further request, that
the subscribers to the American Coloniza
tion Society may be incorporated, by act of
Congress, to enable them to act with more
efficiency, in carrying on the great and im
portant objects of the Society, and to ena
ble them, with more economy, to manage
the benevolent contributions entrusted to
their care. 1

I abb- encouragement to our dome-die manu
factures, more certainly and permanency in
Hie price of many raw materials will be se
cured -and, particularly, that in the article
of cotton, those fluctuations and sudden
changes will, in a great degree, be guarded
against, which have recently been produc
tive of such serious and extensive losses to
our commercial citizens. TIip following
iM»«lerij)t to the first number we present, as
it contains some calculations, which from
their singularity and striking results, may be
deemed worthy of notice.
We have heretofore submitted various
statements proving the extreme disadvuntage
of our intercourse wit!) Great Britain, and
other foreign nations in the cotton trade.—
IVe now present it in a new point of \ iow.
We take the case ofa company of cotton
manufacturers in Manchester, commencing
with a bale and a half of cotton, nt fifty dol
lars per bale, which is the present price—
working il up in two months into cotton
cloths, at twenty cents per yard; investing
the proceeds in cotton; manufacturing this
cotton in the same manner; and thus in re
gular succession, prosecuting the business,
as is usual iri such manufactories. It w ill ex
cite astonishment, and appear incredible,
but is nevertheless true, that in the space of
twenty months they can purchase with the
proceeds of tile hale and a half, the. whole of
the exports of the United States.
We allow 50 lbs. per bale for waste ; let
the proceeds oT the half bale go for (lie
payment of wages ; and assume four yards
of cloth, nt 20 cents per yard, as the pro
duct of each pound of cotton.
Let it be observed, that 20 -cents is a low
average. IVe receive cambrics and muslins
as high us a dollar and a half per yard.

Committee.
From the slit gust a Advertiser.
The society in Pennsylvania for the pro
motion and encouragement of national in
dustry, have. recently commenced a new se-
ics of addresses to the inhabitants of the U.
States, in which many forcible augments mid
striking calculations are presented, tending
to exhibit the important connexion between
the national prosperity mid the encourage
ment of domestic manufactures; k to shew,
in a satisfactory manner, that the present p<
cuuiary embarrassment of the country has in
a great measure arisen from such a disre
gard 4o tliis obvious k important connexion,
that foreign nations have in a great degree
monopolized those profits which ought to
have increased the activity and added to the
wealth of our citizens. The essays are in ge
neral too long to lie republished entire in
our paper. Some ul the calculations we
may occasionally give, in which the position
is endeavored to be maintained, tknt Ivy suit-
Thissum, at the present prices of oiir sta
ples, w ould probably purchase the w hole of
the exports ofthc United States.
This statement affords aclue to the w ealth,
power, mid resources of Great Britain—and
to the impoverishment of this country.

of view:
