The Liberator

We put the following resolutions on record.

Six vessels to be despatched all in one year for the colony at Liberia! They may carry away, perhaps, 1000 souls—or the increase of a week! Subtract 1000 from 52,000, (the annual increase,) and how many will remain?

Resolutions of the Board of Managers.—

The Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society have considered their course of duty for the present year, and adopted the following resolutions:

Resolved, By the Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society, that encouraged by the kind Providence which has thus favored our efforts, they will immediately commence arrangements for obtaining the necessary funds, and sending to Liberia within the present year, six vessels, from different ports in the United States, on the first days of May, July, September, November, January, and March. The first vessel shall sail from New York on the first of May: and the second from Baltimore, on the first of July; the third from Philadelphia, on the first of September; and the others from different places, whenever such places shall with the aid of other means at the command of the Society, secure the requisite funds; such places to be designated in due time.

Resolved, That the Society's Agent in Liberia, be directed to ascertain whether settlements can be formed, by Colonists from Liberia, at Grand Bassa, Cape Palmas, or the Island of Bulama; and upon what terms, and in what manner, a sufficient and suitable territory can be obtained at all or either those places, and what are the peculiar advantages and disadvantages of those situations, and earliest information in his power to the these subjects. And that in the discharge of his duties, he may (if circumstances permit) associate with himself either of the physicians of the Colony.
