New Colonization Plan.—It will be seen on reference to the preceding columns of this paper, that an attempt is about to be made to settle a portion of the free blacks of this country on the Island of Uayti, under the auspices of President Boyer. Believing that this plan, if prosecuted, will limit the exertions and lessen the resources lt;^f the American Colonization Society, one of the noblest institutions of the age, we intended to have noticed some of the objections which may be fairiy urged against the Ilaytien scheme; but our limits will not admit of it the present week. I'he observations, however, which we have copied from the Visiter, and the remarks of General Mercer at the meeting in New York, express our own sentiments on this measure, and we believe tlrose of the people of the South generally. It may not be improper to state, that the plan suggested is in direct opposition to the views of the Colonization Society, which stands pledged to the establishment on the African Coast. The letter of Dr. Huise, given this week, affords some new and gratifying information with regard to the condition and prospects of the settlers at Liberia.
