Sabbath near to it, have been numerous and encouraging, but very far from universal. This year, this day of joyful remembrances, of gratitude, of praise, of patriotic ardour, and exulting thoughts of freedom will be a Sabbath. May we not hope and expect that the Clergy, of every name, in all the churches of our wide spread country, will invite their people to do something, on that anniversary, for Africa? Will not all the Christians in this land then unitedly testify their love to our free and invaluable institutions, by contributing to extend their influences and blessings to another race and another continent ? How easily may our professed friends, by the adoption of timely and judicious measures, secure to our Institution, on that day, a fund far exceeding the amount ever received by it during any two years since its origin! We make our appeal to all the Clergy of this Union-we invite, to this subject, the attention of the elders or officers of every Church. We call upon every friend of the Redeemer to engage, with becoming earnestness and liberality, in this holy work of charity. And, finally, we ask every citizen of this blessed country, whose bosom will, on that day which first rose upon the independence of our Nation, feel the warmth of patriotism and liberty, to assist in spreading over another continent, in securing to her vast population and her remote generations of men, freedom and knowledge, and religion.

But, there is another subject which we must not omit to mention. It is well known that the American Colonization Society has, from its commencement, looked to the powers and resources of the National Government for the means of fulfilling, adequately and most successfully, its great design. Its memorial has been presented to Congress, and committees, to whom it has been referred have, repeatedly, in that body, made Reports approving of its object, as of sufficient magnitude to merit the countenance and support of the Nation.

Twelve State Legislatures have expressed their belief in the benevolence of its principles, and eleven of these have already instructed their Senators, and requested their Representatives in Congress, to lend it their support. The State Colonization Society of Kentucky has drawn up a memorial, and put it in circulation for signatures, which will shortly be offered to the consideration of the National Legislature. Under these cir

cumstances we feel encouraged to invite all the Auxiliary Societies throughout the land to follow the example of that in Kentucky, and to urge our friends, every where, to send in their petitions to the Government of the Union, praying that such measures may be devised, and such means be afforded, às can, consistently with the constitution of the country, be brought to aid the scheme of African Colonization.
