Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the daily papers of this city, signed by the Chairman and Secretary. WILLIAM DOUGLASS, Chairman. WILLIAM WATKINS, Secretary. A VOICE FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, May 4, 1831. Pursuant to previous notice, a large and very respectable meeting of the colored citizens of Washington, D. C., convened at the African Methodist Episcopal church on Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of expressing their views upon the subject of African colonization. Mr John W. Prout was called to the chair, and Arthur Waring was appointed secretary. The chairman briefly explained the object of the meeting, in a short speech well adapted to the occasion, which was followed by several neat and very appropriate addresses delivered by sundry gentlemen present. The following preamble and resolutions were offered and adopted, nearly unanimously. Whereas we consider that the period has arrived for the colored citizens of this place to express their opinion upon the subject of colonization in Liberia; a subject of great importance to themselves, as well as to the colored citizens of the United States generally; and whereas our brethren at a distance are desirous of obtaining information relative to the object and policy pursued by the American Colonization Society: Therefore, be it Resolved, That this meeting view with distrust the efforts made by the Colonization Society to cause the free people of color of these United States to emigrate to Liberia on the coast of Africa, or elsewhere. Resolved, That it is the declared opinion of the members of this meeting, that the soil which gave them birth is their only _true and veritable home_, and that it would be impolitic, unwise and improper for them to leave their home without the benefits of education. Resolved, That this meeting conceive that among the advocates of the colonization system, they have many true and sincere friends; and do regret that their actions, although prompted no doubt by the purest motives, do not meet our approbation. Resolved, That we believe the PRESS to be the most efficient means of disseminating light and knowledge among our brethren; and that this meeting do acknowledge with gratitude the efforts made in our behalf, by the editors of the Genius of Universal Emancipation, and the Liberator;--and do most earnestly recommend their respective papers to our brethren generally, for their approval and support. Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published. JOHN W. PROUT, Chairman. ARTHUR WARING, Secretary. A VOICE FROM BROOKLYN. BROOKLYN, (N. Y.)
