The National Intelligencer of a late
date says, that there are at this time be
tween seven and eight hundred slaves
in various parts of the South and West
ollered by their owners to the Ameri
can colonization society, for liberatiot
and removal to Liberia. The efforts
of the colonization society are now par
in zed, and ttie cause of humanity
sutlerin. I he society is at ibis tim.
w ithout funds, and any proposals made
to them, for the liberal ion of slaves on
condition of their sending them to the
colony, cannot be accented. Mow
much this is to be regretted. No or
position which could now be made to the philanthropic exertions of the soci
ety, would be half so bad as the want of
funds. Men must be taken while Mev
ue in Me notion of things. Such is the
constitution of human nature, that a
proposition w hich is not acceded to to-
ay, may be left unmenfioned to to
morrow, and the next day be positively scouted. All men have at limes thoiY
humors for good as well as their humors for evil; and if one man can be
gratified while the lit is upon him. his
-isociaie, and his neighbors for miles and leagues around, may be infected
with his humane feelings. The dispo
sition to liberate slaves, if properly trea-
'cu, may become as epidemic, in a few
years, as do many of our w orst diseases
m a single season, lint men must not be neglected, while the notion is upon them. The colonization society calls loudly for assistance at this time. Its hands are tied; its efforts have come to a dead stand. '-Strike while the iron
is hot," is an adage which the friends of
is
humanity would do well to think upon now. Cine inn n ! i jtlirro r.

The day following, Samuel Twitchell, jr. offered to give 25 cords of wood to such as were destitute and unable to purchase, "no matter from what cause they became so." On the same day, Alanson and Julia Palmer announced that they would give one hundred dollars, in provisions and clothing, to the needy. They say, " It is enough for the applicants to be poor; we wish not to know the cause of their misfortune, but wish all to be tempe-
