1 It claims for its authors Thos. Jefferson, author of the Decla- ration of Independence, Edmund Pendleton and George Wythe, high in the first rank of their country's orators and jurists the Mansfield and the Hale of Virginia George Mason, perhaps the 37 wisest statesman to whom Virginia has given birth, and Thomas Ludwell Lee, who was deemed by the Legislature of 1776 their fit associate. These gentlemen were appointed, by the first Legis- lature after the Declaration of Independence, to revis...e the laws of this State. This committee proposed a comprehensive plan of colonization. The emancipation feature in this plan was proba- bly the reason of its failure. The seed of the Colonization So- ciety had nevertheless been sown, which springing up after the lapse of a few years, and pruned of its excrescences, began to grow and bear fruit. Its first fruit was the plan of Dr. Thornton, (a Virginian, ) in 1787, to colonize the free colored people upon the coast of Africa. This being the suggestion of a private indi- vidual had no visible results.
