os above named. Because liiw middle class, or free
Muck population, acting in obedience to the moving
unpulse <>f human nature, will ever he desirous to
reacti and enjoy the same degree of liberty and su
pyriority as that enjoyed by the higher or freer eluss,
the free whites; whilst at the same time, the .lave
population, seeing their own brethren enjoying an
easier and a freer situation than themselves, in pur
suance of the same motive of human action, will
ever be disposed to curse their own condition and to
covet tiie higher condition of those, placed above
I'vm as they conceive, without the shadow of reason
v-r propriety; anu thus if things remain as they are,
t.\o body politic must, at stone future time, not now
uscertumutrie, yearn with si life, and be coiivulsrd to
the very centre. Hot if vve can succeed in removing
the tree black part of the community to Liberia, the
slaves will be deprived of that very cause which, be
ing constantly boh so them, is so wall calculated to
kindle their ambition, and consequently, to goad them
on to insurrection and desperation. ’ The vacuum
formed by the transportation of that intermediate
species of our population to Africa, vvould.be so
gieat, that the short and narrowminded slave, having
no incentive, as at pr< sent, could have no wish to per
vade it,mid consequently would '*111.1111 peaceful and
quiet 111 Ins own servile and degraded situation. But
in order to shew the disvet an.I undeniable danger
.ns parable from the present st ,le of things, suppose
vve were to engage in war vviili some foreign power;
the free negroes could very easily be enlisted in behalf
of our enemy, mid they could with the same ease
engage the slaves, and thus w>* should be subject, to
all tint “dangers without and convulsions within.’' j
{Surely then vve cannot be misguided or infatuated in
the prosecution of a dqsign which is unquestimnlMv
calculated to add lo the uurai and political strength
of the community, whilst at tin* same Linn- it offers
to the blinded, vvor!bless, ana u.'graded creature a
“diilce 'tioinutu* vvliero by cherishing, lie can ever 1
enjoy trie bappim.H indissolubly connected with
liberti/ and morality. In this country, their “distinc- 1
tive complexion,” (heir disabilities of law, and the
mental bliuduess of the free blacks, lake away all
incentive to noble ami virtuous act.-; and in the lull I
guage of an elegant piece of penmanship, “ignoruuce :
idleness. And profligacy, must lie the inseparable
companions, the unavoidable consequences of indivi- 1
dual degradation: and they who are its unfortunate!
subjects, cannot fail to be a curse In the coinmunit;/]
with which they are connected, detracting nr mice 1
'rom its moral worth, its general wealth, and its polit- I
mal strength.” Occupying a middle station between ■
Hie whites and the slaves, like the uiurtif unis l
Sitnoera or the destrue:ive Sumici, they pass along I
vitiating the lower class of the whites, on the right, I
and, the whole slave population, on the left. In j
Africa lire vista to celebrity is opened before their i
eyes; they behold themselves placed on an equal ,
footing with all around them; the “azure sky;” the!
rustling forest, the rolling ocean outstretching vision
itself; the fertile ficids; tiie virescent crops, and the
“busy bustling crowds ’ of Monrovia and Aiessurndo,
atlbrd them delight, while they engage their atten
tion, unJ secretly demand the reason of their exis
tence. There too education and science open their
exhaustions treasures from which th*? hitherto debased
Aiiicans may gather pleasures to the end of life; in
conjunction with which the blessings of a free go 1
vernment, a fee simple demesne, an abundance of4
provisions, a lovely wife, and prat lings babes all come
in to complete the compass of his earthly felicity;
add to which he rejoices in the idea of hi ing remet.i
ted in the land designed by nature and by nature’s
(Jud for» his residence, the birthplace of his forefa
thers, from which they were violently torn by the
hands of crucify, barbarity, and penury. But not
withstanding the great and decided advantages
w-iitcli would result to this country from the trans
portation of the free negroes to Liberia, u:ui the
comparatively celestial blessings that runs! ine
vitably attend the free blacks so denominated, in
rbe change of their present condition to that ofj
freemen, rny learned competitor contends that tiie
tv oik is neither consistent with “humanity or re
lignin.’” VtritftS also soc.msJu :hink that “she diffin
enre between our climate and that of Mcssurarin in
Africa if. an insurmountable obstacle to the sue
cess ot tiie Colony;” and after h lew Sentences
clears up perfectly 10 rnv satisfaction, and I should
suppose likewise to th.tf. of himself, this objection or
rather difficulty to the success of the colony, bv oc
knowledging that “the present success ofthe colonv,
vve regard us nothing in its favour,” thereby confessing
niui 111 < iif-r tim^rumui Giuiiaie, mo COii»H\ I
is at present successful, and being at present success j
till be likewise insinuates that it will continue to be !
successful, by saying "for as it inereims in prosperityj
out Jo! and her'* comes another difficulty in lieu of the i
“difference of climate" still more terrific, it will j
tend to in'-rente Ike rnpneity of its foes." The only
difficulty then urged by Veritas, and not answered or I
destroyed by himself, is n mere conjectural, anticipa
red, contingent one, that it will be destroyed by the |
•‘mpncitv of its toes.” I do not pretend to possess
the power? of divination, and therefore I will not at-j
tempt to foliow my opponent through his visions and
prophecies; but at the same lime, I must he permitted
fo say tli.>t in as much as he proves to be wrong in
his arguments and reasonings upon the subject, f
think it extremely probable, bis prophecies will also
tail, i nm in hopes the pubhek are already convin
ced of the patriotism and philanthropy of the Ameri- i
can Colonization Society, constituting as it does “a
circle, every segpientof which tells and testifies totlie j
beneficence of the whole;’’ if so nothing else remains ;
but to make n calculation to show that they have it
completely in their power to accomplish this grand,
magnificent nnd laudable undertaking — According to
the census of IhiO there were 603,00!! whites, and,
36,000 free blacks inhabiting the state of Vtrginio.
The object of the “Virginia Colonization Society’’,
formed by tinny of the members of the House Dele-1
gates, at their last seas on, is to prevent the dangers :
consequent upon an interference of the Federal
Government in the rearing up oftlie eol»nv of Liberia,’
and to accomplish the great work of colonization!
by a combination of State Legislative appropn- j
a lion? t and 'private bounty. iiut regardless of|
all I.’gUltitivu interposition, tlio effectuation of
the scheme is perfectly within the reach of individ
ual charity.—Tlnue being within the state of Virginia,:
as above suggested, 36.000 free negroes, it would re
quire a surnof ♦720,000 to transport the whole number
Lubem esiitnnting uin exppn-' or transportnuon nr.1
<?0 nor head, hut it is ascertained now,that thcnciuai
expense is not more than |lft, of which, it would re-,
quire a sum of $;» 10 000. According then to the higher
calculation, the tax upon the charity of each free
white individual in the state of Virginia, in ord«T to .
effectuate a total transportation ftlie whole number
of free blacks, would be *1 19 cts and a fraction; but
according to tbe lower calculation, which seems to he
correct, it would require of each free white person in
the at ate. tbe trifling sum of f!9 cents only.—This is a
calculation made sojey & wholly upon'ho supposition
that, every free negro in the state of Virginia, is to i
boa dead expense in transportation, which is by no
tnnuns reasonable to suppose. By casting our own
eyes nround and reflecting upon the situation of
those existing among us, w« may very reasonably
and safely conclude, that a very considerable number
of the free blacks, could and no doubt, would, if con
vinced of Mm a*| vantages of emigration, transport t hem
hdves bv their own means to lhe colony. The same
calculation made for the state of Virginia, would be
two high for tJie majority of the other sla ve holding
states; bin make the application and whnt results? —
When you odd the amount raised by private charily,
a»before ascertained, in the slave holding stales, to
t.ie contributions ot the non «lave holding states, and
fhe several legislative appropriations, together with
th**ir own nwans, the tprctrr, impracticabu.itv, as
to transportation ceases t<> exist, yea vanishea away,
md Cannot 1 suspect, fading an abiding place even
;n the ftffrigbtened imagination of Veritas himself.—
"Now is the day, behold now is the accepted time for
our political salvation.” “Let us gently convey the
•deeping Lion” to the mages'ic vessel, and smoothly
waft him over tbe “calm, deep and wide” Atlantic
i to the land of his forefathers and the residence o
his brethren, to aw ake unfettered, uninterrupted am
unprovoked; where instead of“dnnking chains” nm
i 5hrentenmg c lubs, he finds himself in upland of liber
!ty, inspiring the uncontnminated atmosphere ofc
quality. Util Veritas exclaim*, “Consider the mono;
annually expended on this colony. Witness its slov
increase of population—the discouraging accounts \vi
receive from there—provisions scarce and dear, the
country sickly, the most respectable of the emigrant:
, dead, two highly respectable men as agents'lai«h
swept away into the gulf of eternity, by its peslileti
tin I climate, tlieuanswer us and say, it' we lia-'e uoi
solid grounds ot objection?” In the first place I woub
say that the present prosperous condition of the col
nny, which but eight years old stands unrivulled in
the records ol the world, completely, in mv opin
on. obliterates this doleful picture drawn by Veritas
Hut in ortlet to remove impnsions that may bav<
been made, ‘-let facts be submitted to a cumin
world.’.’ Mr. Aslnnim iu his letter to tbe board o
managers of tlie American Colonization society da
ted Mb December 13‘2fl, ftp vs “we still enjoy si pro
fotittd tranquility with all thc*trihc,s bfthe country: tht
last season was most noimduiitly prolific in rice
and never have our settlement, been in so favoura
ble a state t«> admit I might snv. to rrytiire a verv
large addition of settlers ns at tlie present, moim-nt.’
And th°n goes on to snv tar*her, “all this region ol
Africa opens its bosom fin the reception of its ret urn
ing children." Extract from a report submitted tc
tb-- Virginia Legislature during the session of I0‘27
and 1 828. “With r>'gard to territory a large ex
tent, embracing several navigable creeks ami rivers,,
has been attained, which is capable of producing corn
guinea corn, millet., rice, cot-on sugar. c< flee with
other valuable products.and of .-ust-ainitig horses, cat
tie, hogs, goats, sheep and other useful animals,
equal to the demand of a large population. The com
merce of tlie colony lias increased to an importance
which will surprise those who have never inquired into
the subject. From the reports of the agent .Mr. Ash
limn it appears, the exports of tlie colony, for six
mouths from she *st of January to the l St li of June
18-0, amounted ill value to $-13,880. upon which a
profit was realized-to the colonists of $21,980. In the
inon* h of July of the same vear a cargo of goods,
Worth $1 1,1)00, :tirived at Liberia from Portland,
which was sold and wholiy paid for in ten days. Tie
result of tin-- prosperity is, that every description of
labour is well paid, and a poor c-dom-t arriving with
out money or trade, can for his ordinary daily labour
command from 7:; cts to $1 -2:» per day. whilst
those win* have good trades receive $2 00.”—Jt js
said as to tin- subject ol educ.itiun in the colonv. that,
“there is no instance ol r» child live years old, un
less it he some late emigrant, wii * cannot road;" and
ns to the moral character of Liberia it is nl-<> suit!
“churches h:-vo been erected. sob iety, industry and
good order prevail; ami tlie fact is devel- p.-d. ^tliat
even tins degraded population rieedsonh tile ordinary
motive, and incit.-incuts to exertion, to e evale their
cbarnciers far above any moral worth ue have been
accustomed io a sign it.”—“The amount of exports,"
says Mr Knodull in a letter dated December 28tl»
182:5. to r.lie board of managers at Washington, ‘•du
ring flint year was about 60, or 70 Uud dollars,” and
m relation to the climate he writes thus: “flic cli
mate is at tins season, most delighttul. It is not verv
warm, d i ing the day, and at night *ir is cool e
tmiigii to sleep withe, ruloj l under a blanket.” Speak
ing of tho health of tl-6 colony he continues- “1 con
sider the town of Monrovia quite as In .h by ns any
of our southern chics, and the other settlem»-nrs on
the Stockton and St Pauls, have even a better repti

FOURTH OF JULY.
S' arrely ever did a rainy day spoil morosport than
that oft.lie 4fli July. Its extent was commensurate
with tin; country cast of tin; mountains, as far as
wo con learn from tile newspapers. The county
celebrations were almost entirely defeated by it, and
those of the town much interrupted. A stilled rain
on the 4th July, is an event except in tins instance,
iinrctncinbcrcd, and some ofotir N. Yotk brclim n
sw in to view it as an evil polyical augury. We
detail the toasts given at s nr* of the towns in Vir
ginia.
LY iMOHBlJRG.
At Lynchburg, there were two public dinners, giv
en by the Artillery, mil Ri!b: Volunteers, and an
orator was detailed from each company, Mr. Jno. A
Wharton from the first, ai d Mr. Richard H. Toler
(Hditor Virginia) from the other Many toasts were
given, of which our space only admits our giving
such as show the form and pressure of the time.
And first we have collected and presented nil *o
gether, the toasts ot our worthy fiiond. the celebra
ted Jackson chump'o!!, Maj. North, which for leifgth
and frequency, exceed any tiling of liie kind ever be
fore witnessed. The Major’s political zeal G with
out a co mterpart, tbr it knows fto intermission,
breaks Ins rest at night, arid sometimes leads
him as did Melanetlions, to abandon house and
thrill to preach Jackson and Reform. Hut it is hon
ourably distinguished by one truit, from t.ho spuri
ous zeal which AmuntT-r many of his party—it is
disinterested, For they say that Maj, North having
received a hint from i)iifi*(with whom he maintains a
close correspondence) that the Lynchburg P. Office
was at his service, the Major indignantly replied that
he wan no Swiss to fight for pay. Wo do not, know
how true this may be, but if to be relied upon, if
deserves commemoration. Here follows the formida
ble array of ilie Major's toasts:
By Maj. Abram R. North. Jackson republicans,
to your posts, and keep u strict watch; for there is a
terrible ftorm gathering in the West. The great
political battle which we so gloriously won in IB2t: is
to be fought over again in 1832. If wc do our duty,
(which I hope there is no fear of) a much more trium
phant victory awaits us.
By Maj. A. R. North. Reform strikes terror into
the coal.tion ranks, and well it may, for the work goes
on gloriously- Gen. Jackson deserves will of hia
country for ridding the government of their imbecile
officers. Any other man would have been intimida
ted by the great hue cry raised against him by the
opposition; but he seems to mind them no more that,
; the barking of a dog; hot goes on with the great work
[ of reform which he wai selected to accomplish.
By Mty. Abram R. North. William T. Barry
the present Postmaster General, has greatly aston
ished his political opponents, and agreeably surpnsec
hia friends, by his able and judicious management am
arrangement of the mails. For, when lie was ap
• poin *.od to the office, which had been so ably conduc
1 ted by his predecessor, his friends did not cxpectthai

U meats, ulthouglrthcy had the greatest confidence in
l j Ins ability and integrity. But, how does it happen
I | that he has retarded the arrival of the mail in thi*
- place several hours, when, in every other part of the
- j country we have heard from,he'has expedited it very
r considerably? It is because there is more Adams
people m tins town than in any other of the 6utuc
j size in the world?
1 By Maj. Abrain It. North. The coalition party
have concentrated all their forces and hopes on Ilen
- ry Clay, author of the famous war. pestilence und
. j tamii.o speech. See to it, John C. Calhoun and Mar
tin Van Be en: for if lie succeeds Gen. Jackson, good
