EPUB

He is no more, and the noblest eulogy which could be pronounced on him would be to inscribe upon his tomb, the merited epitaph, "Here lies the projector of the American Colonization Society." Amongst others, to whom he communicated the project, was the person who now has the honor of addressing you. My first impressions, like those of all who have not fully investigated the subject, were against it. They yielded to his earnest persuasions and my own reflections, and I finally agreed with him that the experiment was worthy of a fair trial. A meeting of its friends was called-organized as a deliberative body, and a Constitution was formed. The Society went into operation. He lived to see the most encouraging progress in its exertions, and died in full confidence of its complete success.

The object and the progress of the association are thus strongly exhibited.

The object of the Society was the colonization of the free colored people, not the slaves, of the country. Voluntary in its institution, voluntary in its continuance, voluntary in all its ramifications, all its means, purposes, and instruments are also voluntary. But it was said that no free colored persons could be prevailed upon to abandon the comforts of civ ilized life, and expose themselves to all the perils of a settlement in a distant, inhospitable and savage country; that, if they could be induced to go on such a quixotic expedition, no territory could be procured for their establishment as a colony; that the plan was altogether incompetent to effectuate its professed object; and that it ought to be rejected as the idle dream of visionary enthusiasts. The Society has outlived, thank God, all these disastrous predictions. It has survived to swell the list of false prophets. It is no longer a question of speculation, whether a colony can or cannot be planted from the United States of free persons of color on the shores of Africa. It is a matter demonstrated; such a colony, in fact, exists, prospers, has made successful war, and honorable peace, and transacts all the multiplied business of a civilized and Christian community. It now has about five hundred souls, disciplined troops, forts, and other means of defence, sovereignty over an extensive territory, and exerts a powerful and salutary influence over the neighboring clans.

Numbers of the free African race in our country are willing and anxious to emigrate to the land of their fathers. And why should they not be?

Here they are in the lowest state of social gradation,aliens-political-moral--social aliens; strangers, though natives. There, they would be in the midst of their friends and their kindred, at home, though born in a foreign land, and elevated above the natives of the country, as much as they are degraded here below the other classes of the community.

Land, in ample quantities, and on reasonable terms, can be procured in Africa, and enough has been secured already to suffice for an extensive colony.

The incompetency of the scheme to accom

plish its professed object, has been alledged by those, who have not paid sufficient attention to the real object which the Society has in view, and to the means by which it expects to attain that object. The African part of our population bears so large a proportion to the residue, of European origin, as to create the most lively apprehension, espccially in some quarters of the Union. But to accomplish the desirable objects of domestic tranquility, and render us one homogeneous people, it is not necessary, in Mr. C's view, to transport the whole of the African race within the limits of the United States, nor does he regard it as practicable so to do. The population of these States may be expected to duplicate, hereafter, in a period of about thirty-three and a third years. Suppose, then, that during that term of time, the capital of the African stock be kept stationary, by transportation, whilst that of European origin shall be left to an unobstructed increase: the result will be most auspicious. Mr. C. supposes, that the annual emigration of 6,000 souls would prevent the increase of the free colored population, and that this emigration might be effected by the use of 7,500 tons of shipping, and an annual expense of 120,000 dollars. The annual increase of the slave population, he estimates at 46,000. The total annual increase of both descriptions is, there fore, 52,000. The entire expense of transporting that number to Africa, could not exceed 1,040,000 dollars; and the requisite amount of tonage would probably be less than 65,000 tons, which is only about one-eighteenth of the mercantile marine of the United States.

But, is the annual application of 1,040,000 dollars, and the employment of 65,000, or even 130,000 tons of shipping, considering the magnitude of the object, beyond the ability of this country? Is there a patriot looking forward to its domestic quiet, its happiness and its glory, that would not cheerfully contribute his proportion of the burthen to accomplish a purpose so great and so humane? During the general continuance of the African slave trade, hundreds of thousands of slaves have been, in a single year, imported into the several countries whose laws authorized their admission. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the powers now engaged to suppress the slave trade, I have received information, that in a single year, in the single island of Cuba, slaves equal in amount to one half of the above number of 52,000, have been illicitly introduced. Is it possible that those who are concerned in an infamous traffic can effect more than the States of this Union, if they were seriously to engage in the good work? Is it credible-is it not a libel upon human nature to suppose, that the triumphs of fraud and violence and iniquity, can surpass those of virtue and benevolence and humanity?

Having completed his statement of the plan of the Society, and shown that it is both practicable and rational, and that the Society has entered upon and prosecuted its enterprise under the fairest auspices, Mr. Clay indulges himself in very animated remark.

Such, Mr. Vice President, is the project of the Society; and such is the extension and use which may be made of the principle of colonization, in application to our slave population, by those States which are alone competent to undertake and execute it. All, or any one, of the States which tolerate slavery may adopt and execute it, by co-operation or separate exertion. If I could be instrumental in eradicating this deepest stain upon the character of our country, and removing all cause of reproach on account of it, by foreign nations-if I could only be instrumental in ridding of this foul blot that revered State that gave me birth, or that not less beloved State which kindly adopted me as her son, I would not exchange the proud satisfaction which I should enjoy for the honor of all the triumphs ever decreed to the most successful conqueror.

Again:

We are reproached with doing mischief by the agitation of this question. The Society goes into no household to disturb its domestic tranquility; it addresses itself to no slaves to weaken their obligations of obedience. It seeks to affect no man's property. It neither has the power nor the will to affect the property of any one contrary to his consent.

The

execution of its scheme would augment instead of diminishing the value of the property left behind. The Society composed of free men, concerns itself only with the free. Collateral consequences we are not responsible for. It is not this Society which has produced the great moral revolution which the age exhibits. What would they, who thus reproach us, have done? If they would repress all tendencies towards liberty and ultimate emancipation, they must do more than put down the benevolent efforts of this Society. They must go back to the era of our liberty and independence, and muzzle the cannon which thunders its annual joyous return. They must revive the slave trade, with all its train of atrocities. They must suppress the workings of British philanthropy, seeking to meliorate the condition of the unfortunate West Indian slaves. They must arrest the career of South American deliverance from thraldom. They must blow out the moral lights around us, and extinguish that greatest torch of all which America presents to a a benighted world, pointing the way to their rights, their liberties, and their happiness. And when they have achieved all these purposes, their work will be yet incomplete. They must penetrate the human soul, and eradicate the light of reason and the love of liberty. Then, and not till then, when universal darkness and despair prevail, can you perpetuate slavery, and repress all sympathies, and all humane and benevolent efforts among freemen, in behalf of the unhappy portion of ir race who are doomed to bondage.

Mr. Clay, in the concluding paragraphs of his speech, represents every emigrant to Africa as "a missionary, carrying with him credentials in the holy cause of civilization, religion, and free institutions;" and the more likely to exert a salutary influence, because of the same color, the same family, the same physical constitution, with those to whom he is sent. And he justly exclaims, in reference to the project of the Society, whose cause he had been so eloquently pleading

It is a project which recommends itself to favor in all the aspects in which it can be contemplated. It will do good in every and any extent in which it may be executed. It is a circle of philanthrophy, every segment of which tells and testifies to the beneficence of the whole.

American Board of Missions.

The Intelligence from Syria.

THE Palestine mission occupies a large space in this number, but, considering the nature of the intelligence, it is presumed none too large. The biographical notices, and especially the account of the great meeting of Armenians at Constantinople, will richly reward any one who shall take the pains to peruse them. Among the biographical notices, we include, of course, Asaad Shidiak's public statement, which occupies the first pages.

Destination of Messrs. Gridley and Brewer.

The embarkation of these missionaries on the 16th of September, for the Palestine mission, was mentioned at p 333 of the last volume. In thirty-six days they were landed at Gibraltar. Here they remained four days, and then embarked for Malta, by way of Messina; and, two months from the time of leaving Boston, were affectionately greeted by their brethren on that island.

Here as the Committee have learned since the preceding pages went to the press,-after consultation with Mr. Temple and Mr. Smith, it was decided, that Messrs. Gridley and Brewer establish themselves, for the present, at Smyrna. The reasons for this location are briefly these:

Mr. Brewer, is sent more especially to the Jews, and on that account, derives his support from the Ladies' Jews Society of Boston and vicinity. Now there are estimated to be in Smyrna and its immediate neighborhood, full ten times as many Jews, as in all Syria and Palestine. The number of Jews, within three days' journey of Smyrna, who speak the Jewish-Spanish language, is thought by Mr. Temple, to be not less than 100,000.

The arrangement, which places Mr. Gridley also at Smyrna, has respect to the numerous productions of the Malta press, in the Greek and Italian languages. In Syria, there are comparatively few who speak either of these tongues. By availing himself of the accumulated results of the press, Mr. Gridley will be

able, it is presumed, to exert at once a salutary influence on a numerous people.

Messrs. Brewer and Gridley were expected to sail for Smyrna early in December.

Arrangement with respect to Mr. Smith.

In order that Mr. Smith might be qualified to superintend the press in Arabic, it was determined that he proceed to Cairo, and study the Arabic language, under the tuition of the Rev. Samuel Gobat, one of the German missionaries in the employment of the Church Missionary Society, who had studied with those distinguished Arabic scholars, the Baron de Sacy, at Paris, and Professor Lee, at Cambridge, in England. Having remained at Cairo, until the commencement of summer, Mr. Smith is expected to proceed to Beyroot, and remain there for a season. By the time he shall have returned to Malta, a fount of Arabic types will be procured, and works in that language will be commenced under his superintendence.

Return of Mr. Vaill to Union.

The Rev. William F. Vaill, superintendent of the Union Branch of the Osage mission, who has spent a number of months in the service of the Board, in New England, and in the state of Ohio, was expected to embark in a steamboat at Cincinnati, about the 20th ult. on his return to his station. While in Ohio. he heard of the death of his youngest daughter, at Union, and also of heavy losses sustained by the station, in consequence of an inundation.

We take this opportunity to remark, that, in the survey of missions in the January number, p. 10, the names of Daniel H. Austin and Richard Colby, Mechanics, were accidentally omitted. They are members of the mission at Harmony.

The Missionary Packet.

Intelligence has been received of the arrival of this little vessel at Valparaiso, in Chili, on the 1st of September. Capt. Hunnewell attempted a passage around Cape Horn, but meeting with severe weather, and two of his little company becoming unable to do duty, be returned to the straits of Magellan. Westerly gales preventing his entrance, he bore away for the Falkland Islands, where he remained six weeks, during the most boisterous season of the southern winter. He then passed through the Straits. His stay at Valparaiso was to be short, and from that port, nearly all the way to the Sandwich Islands, he would have the benefit of the trade winds.-The principal reason of his arriving at Cape Horn so late in the season, was the severe gales experienced in northern latitudes, and the consequent repairs made necessary at Rio Janeiro.

Obituary Notice of Nicholas Vlasopolos.

Died, on the 7th ult. in Monson, Mass. at the house of the Rev. Simeon Colton, Principal of the Academy at that place, NICHOLAS VLASOPOLOS, aged 21 years.

This young man was one of the eleven

Greeks, who had come to this country for the purpose of obtaining an education under the care and patronage of the Board. He arrived in Boston in June last, and, in company with one of his companions, was sent to the Academy in Monson, where some of the other youths had previously pursued their preparatory studies.

He was a native of Ithaca, an island which is under British protection, and enjoyed privileges, of course, which have long been cruelly denied to very many of his nation. His relatives being concerned in mercantile transactions, he for a time filled the office of clerk to his father, who commanded a ship, of which his uncle was the owner. He thus visited the principal ports of the Levant, and the Black Sea. Happening to be at Smyrna, when Mr. King was about sending Perdicari and Prassus to America, he determined to accompany them, if in his power, though he had previously resolved on pursuing his education in Italy. America seemed so distant, that it was with reluctance his friends consented to his proposal. His uncle paid his passage, gave him an hundred dollars in advance for his education, and engaged to allow him the same sum, annually, while he remained in the United States.

Mr. Colton remarks of him, that "his proficiency as a scholar, during the few months he was able to study, was such as to do honor to himself, and afford no ordinary indication of future eminence and usefulness: and with truth may it be said of him, that he was a young man of amiable disposition, correct morals, dignified deportment, and the strictest integrity. He was ardently attached to his country, and took the deepest interest in whatever concerned its welfare."

His health was first observed to decline near the close of the autumn, and it continued steadily to decline till his death. His disease appeared first to be on the liver, but subsequently assumed a pulmonary character; and almost before his case was known to be critical, he became too weak to allow of removal to a milder climate.

For some time before coming to this country, the attention of Vlasopolos had been directed towards religious truth, and his reliance on the rites and ceremonies of the Greek church had considerably diminished, though he never renounced that communion. When at Odessa, in one of his voyages, he obtained a copy of the New Testament in modern Greek, which he read with much diligence. He had, also, a Bible, in the Italian language, which received daily attention. In addition to this, the instructions of Mr. King were never forgotten: and from his first arrival in this country, he was constant and serious in his attention on the worship of the sanctuary.

His prevailing habit of thought and feeling, during his sickness, was such as to inspire hope in respect to his present condition: and it is a satisfaction to know, that when in the certain prospect in death, he saw no reason, on the whole, to regret his coming to this country.

His distant friends will mourn, that he died in a land of strangers: but their grief will be alleviated, when they are assured, that, by those who were around him in his sickness, the offices of friendship were all discharged with affectionate assiduity.
