those liberated and without detriment to the public welfare. One hundred and sixty-five slaves have the year past been offered to the Society by six individuals, and for more than two hundred is a passage now sought to the African Colony. Of some of these, the expense is defrayed by their proprietors; while the sacrifice incurred in giving freedom to others, has fully equalled the means of individual benevolence. The great demand made upon the Treasury of the Society in consequence of the three expeditions despatched last year, (expeditions which, so far as the ability of the emigrants was concerned, were less fortunate than usual,) and the too limited means of the Board, have prevented any attempts to add to the numbers of the Colony until the present month. But the Managers are happy to state, that the ship Harriet is now chartered, and nearly ready to sail from Norfolk, with a select company of about 170 emigrants. Every necessary preparation has been made by the Colonial Government to transfer this company, immediately after their arrival, to the healthy settlements on the St. Paul's. The slave trade still exists, and exists under circumstances, and to an extent, revolting alike to every humane and christian sentiment. The Managers fear that its speedy suppression is not to be expected.Though all christendom has resolved to abolish it, yet the love of gain still stimulates the hardened in crime to attempt at all hazards their depredations upon human liberty, and too often are they successful.But the Colony of Liberia is evidently checking the evil at its source, and will be found, the Managers trust, a powerful means of implanting in the breasts of barbarians, sentiments of social and fraternal affection. In obedience to a resolution of the Society, the Managers presented a Memorial to the Congress of the United States at its last session. The Select Committee of the House submitted a Report decidedly favourable to the views of the Memorialists, while that of the Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate, was of an opposite character. But the Managers cannot believe, that an enterprise involving interests so great, and so intimately connected with the national welfare, and which requires for its full accomplishment the amplest resources, will finally be deemed unworthy the consideration and aid of the National Government. With the hope of extending the operations of the Society and augmenting its funds, the Managers have recently appointed as General Agent and Assistant Secretary, the Rev. Isaac Orr, a gentleman in whose talents, integrity and piety, they have undoubting confidence. Funds alone are wanting to give new impulse and illustrious success to the cause of this Institution. For these, then, in conclusion, the Board make their appeal to the gentle charities of the female mind -to the pious sentiments and persevering benevolence of the Christian Ministry-to the Patriot who devotes himself to his country's cause, and the Philanthropist who identifies his own interests with those of the world-to the State Legislatures-and, in fine, to this NATION, elevated as it is, by the hand of God, to unexampled prosperity, and blest with power to dif fuse the mingled lights of Liberty, Science and Religion, over half the Globe.
