The next pert of the plan to which I object, is couch.
ed in the following language: "The notes to be taken
from the second class of claimants to be distributed
as contributions to the subsequent classes of claimants
in their order, who may give their naes for one-half
the amount of the sums of such notes payable in two,
three and four years to the city, and so on v,ith all the
subsequent classes."
There is more implied in this feature of the plan
than is clearly expressed. The meaning, however. ap
pears to be this : After all the money and goods of
which we have been, or shall yet be, put in possession,
by the almost unexampled benevolence of our sister
cities, and the surrounding country, shall have been
exhausted, the persons composing the higher classes,
and who, of course, have been the heaviest losers, are
to give their individusl notes, for others double in a
mount, given by individuals belonging to the foregoing
classes. - By this arrangement, the greatest sufferers

in circulation as die case maybe. This,it is conceived, '
would place the greatest sufferer. in quite an onenvi- 1
able position, which • due regard fur their op welfare

I remark in conclusion, that the plan of Mr Dunlop, I
considered in all its. parts, is perhaps as unobjection
able as any that could be prepared on the spur of the
moment, and justly entitles him to the thanks of the
community.
Whatever the city authorities decide on doing, should
be done promptly. The present is not a time for pro
crastination, and vexatious delay. As there is an
abundance of food and clothing the wants of the desti
tute should be immediately supplied, not with a
niggardly parsimony, but with a becoming and
praiseworthy liberality. ...

COLORED PEOPLE OF CINCINNATI
W e notice in the Reformer of this city, a very in
teresting report on the present condition of the color

employed in taking a kind of census of the colored
population.

Lectures are delivered upon various branches, at con
siderable expense to the Principal, but gratituously as
to the scholars.
There are three Benevolent Associations among
them.
Several fads are detailed in the report showing en
amount of energy on the part of the colored people,
for which they have no credit with a majority of our
citizens.
For example—a mother has paid $2500 for herself
and fivechildren; and at this moment is on her way to

But, can these statements be true?—We cannot
vouch for all of them, but that the most essential are
true, our own obserention warrants us in affirming.
A class of population, supporting so many schools
and churches and benevolent associations, in propor

of some consideration. It asks fur nothing but. jus
