The second statement which I have made respecting what the Colonization Society has done towards checking the _slave-trade_, cannot better be substantiated than by the following paragraph taken from the Colonization Herald of Sept. 5th, 1835. "The success of the Colonization Society, may indeed be said to be little short of miraculous--for in the brief space of thirteen years, _with funds whose aggregate amount scarcely equals the individual outlay of Sir Walter Raleigh in Virginia_, they have banished the slaver from nearly 200 miles of coast, and rescued hundreds of his hapless victims--they have settled nearly 4000 emigrants (one half of them emancipated for the purpose,)--they have established schools, churches, temperance societies, and a newspaper:--agriculture, the mechanic arts, and a legitimate commerce, employing nearly twenty sail of coasting vessels, have sprung up, while the activity of their foreign commerce is attested by our own marine lists. "That the despised Colonizationists have effected all this, is beyond the reach of cavil--it is now a part of the history of our enterprising country. And while our opponents have been gravely debating the possibility of establishing _one_ colony, a little constellation has risen--star by star--and shed its light along the dreary coast, giving promise of new 'United States' in due season. May not these benevolent founders of Liberia be well satisfied with their experiment? Need I blush to acknowledge that these results have dispelled all my doubts? And may not the statesman safely assume that if a feeble society, assailed from its very formation with ridicule and reproach, has been able to found and sustain a young state, the patriotism, the philanthropy, and the piety of this great nation can accomplish the noble work of justice to them, and mercy to both? Nor is it among the least cheering of the results achieved by this noiseless and unpretending system of _practical benevolence_ to the black man, that it has won its way to the love, and confidence, and gratitude of benevolent proprietors--so that the society has, from its very commencement, been distressed by offers of emancipation--_distressed_, because its funds have not enabled it to relieve a tithe of the cases presented. There are at this moment, between one and two thousand applicants for the privilege of Colonization, and thousands more are in a state of training for the same purpose. Each year's developement of the ample resources of the colonies for securing the welfare of the colonists, and of their importance to the commerce and manufactures of this country, will increase the tide of emigration, until, with due aid from the national treasury, the stream shall exceed the annual increase, and then a rapid
