aid to the society, will be that of lh
state government, from many of which the society has already received considerable assistance. From thU consideration, the Board would suggest lo the Society the propriety of considering whether any efforts should be made, and in what way, to direct the attention of ihe Legislature of this State lo the subject of Colonization. It is believed thnl Ihe State of Ohio through the medium of many of her inhabitants, has a deep interest in the subject; and, from Iho importance which she occupies, and is likely to occupy, among the sister States of the
rej ublic, thai a correct and enlightened policy,on her part in this subject, could not fail to be productive of hap.
py results.
