'An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain-- O give me my lowly thatched cottage again; The birds singing gaily that came at my call-- Give me them, with the peace of mind dearer than all! Home--home! Sweet, sweet home! _There's no place like home!_' No one will understand me to maintain that population should never be thinned by foreign emigration; but only that such an emigration is unnatural. The great mass of a neighborhood or country must necessarily be stable: only fractions are cast off and float away on the tide of adventure. Individual enterprise or estrangement is one thing: the translation of an entire people to an unknown clime, another. The former may be moved by a single impulse--by a love of novelty, or a desire of gain, or a hope of preferment: he leaves no perceptible void in society. The latter can never be expatriated but by some extraordinary calamity, or by the application of intolerable restraints. They must first be rendered broken-hearted or loaded with chains--hope must not merely sicken but die--cord after cord must be sundered--ere they will seek another home. Our pilgrim-fathers were driven out from the mother country by ecclesiastical domination: to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences, was the only cause of their exile. Had they been permitted to enjoy this sacred right,--no matter how great were their temporal privations, or their hopes of physical enjoyments,--they would not have perilled their lives on the stormy deep, to obtain an asylum in this western hemisphere. It may be said, in reply to the foregoing remarks upon the love of home and of country, that the people of color cannot cherish this abhorrence of migration, because here they have no 'continuing city,' and are not recognised as fellow-countrymen. In PART I., I have shown, by copious extracts, that colonizationists artfully represent them as aliens and foreigners, wanderers from Africa--destitute of that _amor patriae_, which is the bond of union--seditious--without alliances--irresponsible--unambitious--cherishing no attachment to the soil--feeling no interest in our national prosperity--ready for any adventure--eager to absent themselves from the land--malignant in their feelings towards society--incapable of local preference--content to remain in ignorance and degradation--&c. &c. &c.
