handle is hein.slavery/refcolzsty0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REFLECTIONS ON THE CAUSES THAT LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE COLONIZATION SOCIETY: WITH A VIEW OF ITS PROBABLE RESULTS: UNDER THE FOLLOWING HEADS: THE INCREASE OF THE COLOURED POPULATION, THE ORIGIN OF THE COLONIZATION SOCIETY. THE MANUMISSION OF SLAVES IN THIS COUNTRY. THE DECLARATIONS OF LEGISLATURES, AND OTHER ASSEMBLED BODIES, IN FAVOUR OF THE SOCIETY. THE SITUATION OF THE COLONISTS AT MONROVIA AND OTHER TOWNS. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF THE SETTLERS. THE SOIL AND CLIMATE OF LIBERIA. ITS PRODUCTIONS AND COMMERCE. THE ADVANTAGES TO THE FREE COLOURED POPULATION BY EMIGRATION TO LIBERIA. THE CHARACTER OF THE NATIVES OF AFRICA, BEFORE THE IRRUPTION OF THE BARBARIANS. THE EFFECTS OF THE COLONIZATION ON THE SLAVE TRADE-WITH A SLIGHT SKETCH OF THAT NEFARIOUS AND ACCURSED TRAFFIC. Is a nation like this to be embarrassed by an annual appropriation of little more than a million of dollars to the cause of humanity? a nation that can extinguish in a year twelve millions of national debt, and at the same time prosecute with vigourits majestic plans of defence and internal improvement? a nation, one of whose states can hazard six millions of dollars on the project of opening a canal-a nation, whose canvass whitens every sea, and proudly enters almost every harbour of the globe?-a nation, whose vil- lages and cities are rising, as by magic, over a fertile territory of two millions of square miles:-a nation, destined within the compass of the passing century to. embosom a white population of eighty millions? With the past smiles of Divine Providence, our national debt will be soon annihilated. And from that glad hour, let the government provide liberally for all its necessary operations-let it push forward in its splendid ma chinery of political improvement, and then give to our cause but the surplus of its rev- enue: and as regards the expense of transportation, it will furnish the means of granting to every African exile among us, a happy home in the land of his fathers, within the com- pass of six years.-Rev. B, DICKINSON. 33Y X. CAMEY. PILADELPHIA: PRINTED BY WM. F. GEDDES. 1832. (GRATUITOUS.)
