Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: August, 1843 We wish those who are disposed to turn a cold shoulder to the coloniza tion cause from its alleged unfavorable influence upon missionary Operations in Africa, would just read the following article from the pen of Mr. Pinney; and at the Same time bear in mind who this same Mr. Pinney is. Let them recollect that he 15 a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church, that he visited Africa in 1832 as a missionary of the Western Board, (we think it is called, ) that he the following year received the appointment of Governor of the Colony of Liberia, and that a few years subsequently he again went out as agent of the Western Board and selected a spot for the establish ment of a mission Of that Board in the Kroo country.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, 1843, Vol. 2 We look anxiously around for those who would take our places. Amongst our converts we find none qualified for this purpose - and to America we look almost in vain. Nearly three years have now elapsed since one missionary came over to help us! Our thoughts are often turned, in this dilemma, to the West Indies, from whence we might reasonably hope that labourers better fitted to withstand the climate could be obtained. But when, or how, or by whom, shall such persons be brought to us? In these trying circumstances, it is sweet to know that the cause is God's, and that he will take care of His own cause." "In the last communication which the Committee have received from the Rev. Dr. Savage, he remarks - "I have had of late two attacks of greater severity than any since my visit to America. It is thought by others that I ought to abstract myself from my cares and duties for a time. One consideration that will operate in favour of it, will be to procure, if possible, suitable coloured assistants or teachers from some quarter; men who will be capable of keeping up a station in case of the death of the present incumbent; at any rate, till a successor can arrive from America. It is the general opinion among us, that the safety of the mission, and the best interests of the cause, if not its ultimate success, depend upon our procuring, at the earliest date, such aids - aids they must be, and no higher relation can they sustain for years. The colony, and our schools, cannot for years to come, afford such assistance. From the colony, we have no such expectation." We are sorry to find an open and express avowal of such sentiments with regard to the capacity of the coloured race, by the oldest and most prominent missionary of the Episcopal Church in Liberia, in an official communication to the Board of Missions, and to see the same endorsed by them, and embodied in their "Annual Report." With a knowledge that such are the sentiments of their missionaries in Africa, we are at a loss to conceive why the Board of Missions look farther for the causes of "difficulties between the missionaries and colonists," of which they speak in another part of their Report as having existed. Their conduct towards a people held in such estimation, with whom they have daily intercourse, and who themselves have any claim to equality with their fellow-men, or self-respect, must of necessity be such as to cause "heartburnings, envyings and strife." The inhabitants of Liberia have been forced by the prejudice and intolerance of a dominant race, to seek a refuge in the inhospitable climate of Africa, and there at least they may hope, not to be doomed to a secondary rank in the scale of being. Even if the assertion was true that coloured men from any quarter could be capable of sustaining no higher relation than aids to the white missionary for years, we are unable to divine what good could result from spreading it before the world. But however sincere Dr. Savage might have been in his conviction of the moral or intellectual incapacity of the man of colour and his consequent unfitness to act as principal in the Episcopal mission; yet we are far from admitting the correctness of his position.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, 1849, Vol. 4 Here was England's position, and here was Liberia. The old empire, shaken by powerful rivals, and driven to extremity, was seeking a prop of sufficient strength to support her. The young Republic, in the feebleness of infancy, was needing a protector. That secret, unseen, hidden, invincible, and all-controlling power which had impelled England onward in her giant efforts to extirpate the slave trade and to abolish slavery, and which had inspired the hearts of American christians to restore the colored man to Africa, and had watched over and protected the feeble colony until it could assume a national position; that Providence which had made England's crimes of former years to re-act upon and embarrass her in all her relations, had now brought face to face the prime minister of England and the President of the Republic of Liberia. The first was the representative of that unscrupulous but powerful government, whose participation in the slave trade, to build up an extensive commerce and aggrandize herself, had doomed the children of Africa to perpetual bondage; but who was now, as a consequence of that very slave trade, compelled to the most powerful exertions for its suppression to save herself from commercial embarrassment and national decline; the second was the executive of a new nation - himself a descendant of one of the victims of the English slave traders - seeking the admission of an African Republic into the family of nations. The old Monarchy and the new Republic thus found themselves standing in the relation of mutual dependence - the one to secure a field for the immediate commencement of her grand experiment, of rendering free labor more productive than slave labor, and of creating new markets for her manufacturers - the other to obtain protection, and to offer the products of the labor of the freeman of Liberia to the commerce of the world." Latest From the Colony. It is near six months since our last previous advice, a remarkably long period to intervene without direct communication between this country and Cape Palmas. Although little is said of the present position of affairs in the Colony, still, from the general tone of the following letters, we are led to call ' our news, good news." Doubtless, ere our next, the Packet will be in port. Cape Palmas, January 20, 1849. Dr. J. Hall - Dear Sir - This bark returns home via South America, and it may be months before this comes to hand, but, perhaps, no other opportunity may occur to inform you of our welfare, &c. You will rejoice with us that the native war is over, and our native trade in palm oil will soon commence again. We had to contend hard for peace, as we found Freeman, old sinner, was the sole cause of the war being continued. We were exposed ourself in defending two from H. Cavalry, the purpose of spewing water, preparatory to the war being finished. I have had no intercourse with him since. At present, we sell no guns or powder to Freeman's subjects. They don't like it - we don't care. We are all well. The new emigrants are doing well. I remain, dear sir, your obedient servant, John B. Russwurn.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 4: November, 1847 It will be perceived on inspection Of the balance sheet appended hereto, that the Operations of the Company have thus far been Of a two-fold charac ter: viz. Trading or shipping merchandise for sale on its own account, and freighting. This course, 'your Agent deemed absolutely necessary in order to insure the success of the enterprise, the main object Of the formation of the Company being, to maintain free and constant intercourse between this country and the Colonies. The experience Of the two first voyages proves that, at present, your Agent cannot depend upon the two Societies and all other sources for a full freight; consequently, a loss must be incurred, un less he fills up the vessel on account Of the Company. This state of things must necessarily continue to exist: for, the number of emigrants and the quantity of freight Offered by the Societies, is liable to continual variation, consequently, the vessel cannot be adapted to their wants at each voyage, but she must be of sufficient capacity to carry all, that it may reasonably be supposed, they will ever have occasion to send at any one time. Your Agent has, therefore, made permanent arrangements for the shipment and sale of merchandise at each voyage, and for the receipt and disposal Of African produce received in return for the same. He has Offered to fill all orders received from responsible Colonists, and to receive produce for sale on commission for the benefit of the Company. This branch of the business of the Company, your Agent believes to be not the least important of its objects; he therefore proposes, in all cases, to make the shipment of goods, ordered by the Colonists, second only to the freight required by the Societies. In cases where the capacity of the vessel is not wanted by the latter, or for merchandise ordered by the Colonists, it then remains optional with the Agent to take any other freight that may be offered, or to ship merchandise on account of the Company.

This fills the inmates with dread, and none are so bold as to come forth and detect the prowler, lest they themselves may be exposed to their necromancy. Not long since, an instance of the kind occurred, but the wizard 'caught a tartar, ' a friend to the sick man was in the house at the time, and instead of coming out, poked his gun through a crevice, and lodged its contents in the fellow's back; he got off, but on enquiry the next day, the wounded man was found, and of course was dis posed of in a very summary manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 1: October 15, 1812 Gentlemen, - I noticed in your paper of the 22nd ult. The Report of a Committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, to whom was referred the communication relative to the mission at Cape Palmas, in which are contained many reflections upon the character of the government and the colonists at Cape Palmas, tending to injure them in the estimation of mankind. Being a citizen of that colony, and, of course, suffering in common with other of my brethren, I feel myself impelled, by the highest and most solemn considerations, to repel the unjust charges and unwarrantable assumptions contained in that Report; and I trust, gentle men, that in consideration of the circumstances of the case, you will be disposed to admit this communication to your columns. I am aware that the bare assertions of an humble colored man, banished by a cruel preju dice from his native land, and who has sought a home in barbarous Africa, can have but little weight when thrown into the balance against the dicta of the congregated learning and piety of the most intelligent body of Chris tians in the United States; and it is with a deep sense of my unfitness for the task, that I presume to comment upon the Report of a Committee of gentlemen of such standing, honoured by the name of its distinguished chairman. But duty to myself and a much-injured people, compels me to come forward and declare wherein we are injured, and to appeal to the jus tice of the American public. It is not my purpose, at all, to discuss the question at issue between the Maryland State Colonization Society and the A. B. C. F. M. I merely propose to defend myself and my brethren where we have been most unjustly assailed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 4: December, 1847 On a question of such magnitude as slavery - involving as it does, the interests of millions, and, it may be, the destiny of two continents, I should not presume to lift a pen, were it not, that my opportunities of a personal and intimate acquaintance with the subject have been somewhat peculiar. Being a native of New England, and imbibing as I did at an early age, an utter aversion of the system - residing afterwards nearly twenty years in different slave-holding States - travelling frequently and extensively in every State in the Union, where slavery exists - addressing large and popular assemblies of both colours - aiding in the promotion of Sabbath Schools and Bible classes among the blacks-conversing freely with master and slave, respecting the relation they sustain to each other, and the feelings of mutual dependence and attachments between them - together with seven years' residence abroad, listening to the most exciting debates on the sub jcet in Exeter Hall, London, and elsewhere - and now a resident of New York, where every variety of opinion is freely discussed - and, though last not least, never having had any pecuniary interests whatever involved in the question, may perhaps entitle my remarks to as much consideration as {hose of many others, who have never travelled south of Mason and Dixon's me.
