Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: May, 1844 Bush of Cape Palmas, - and three days did not elapse before the sound of his anvil was heard, forging the iron work for mounting our guns. As the colony increased, new military companies were formed, and as Captain Wood was the oldest commander, he received a major's commis sion. He has also been called to fill various civil offices in the colony, holds a justice's commission and been once or twice elected vice-agent, the highest office in the gift of the people. As far as our knowledge ex tends, he has ever discharged the duties devolving upon him, either as a civil or military officer, with integrity and ability, and his private character, as we before remarked, has ever been unexceptionable - sometimes, to be sure, rather hot in a political contest, but if with a wrong head, always with a sound and patriotic heart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: December, 1844 These assertions have had the greater in uence, because they have been thought to be corroborated by the representations of American Missionaries, laboring for the conversion of the heathen in and around the colonial posses sions. These missionaries, it is said, represent the colonies, or the c'olonists, or something connected with colonization, as serious obstacles to the suc cess of their labors. In this way, some of our former friends have been led to disbelieve, and still greater numbers to doubt, the utility of our labours. The interests of the Society, therefore, and of the colony, and of Africa, and of Christianity, demand an investigation of the subject.

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. 2: January, 1844 Coast of Africa, instead of being held up as the promised land of the bond' man, has been made a Botany Bay; instead of representing a return to the land of their forefathers as the consummation of a providential interference in favour of the coloured man, it has been represented as necessary to the interests of the white man, enabling him to hold his property in greater safety, while it would augment the value of slaves by withdrawing. The competition of free coloured labourers. All this has been done to secure the favour of those in the Southern States whose favour appeared to be necessary to the success of colonization, and hence we may allow the best motives to those who contributed to it. But the effect was injurious. It armed the ultra abolitionists with weapons which they have successfully wielded against the colonization cause, and enabled them to wake up a hostile feeling among the free coloured population all over the United States against the Colonization Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: February, 1844 It is our decided opinion, for various reasons, that they should be remov ed, not only from Charles county, but from the State. The committee think in truth, that for social and intellectual improvement, they ought to be transported from America, beyond the Atlantic Ocean; and that Liberia or Maryland in Africa, is the proper place in which they should be settled. The committee will now give their reasons for this conviction; and for that purpose, we will show the means of transportation, and the resources that will be placed in their power in Africa, arising from the fertility of the region to which they will be removed, the natural advantages to be enjoyed from a fortunate or favorable location, a congenial climate, and the full means there will exist, that they may become a great, prosperous and hap py people; and furnish a solution of the problem, as to the capacity of the black species of the human race, for high moral and intellectual improve ment. For the purposes of showing the agricultural and other resources of the colony, the committee will quote from various and unquestionable authority.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: June 1844 Mr. Seys it 'is well known is the white superintendent of the mission, the others are all coloured men, and-mostly sent out by the colonization society. It is with no small degree of interest that we look over this list of mem bers of the Liberian Conference, and call to mind who and what they were but a few years since, and contrast their former condition with their present position as an organized Board of christian ministers, devoted to the great work of civilizing and christianizing Africa. A brief notice of our recol lections of some of them may not be uninteresting, and will I doubt not be excused by them should it happen to come under their observation. The first, A. D. Williams, is well known to the American public as a long time the acting governor of the colony, during the various interregnums from the deaths and absences of the agents of the society; in fact from the decease of Ashmun to the arrival of Buchanan he was most of the time the actual business agent and director of affairs - His administration was ever mild and conciliatory, and had he not been hampered by the dictation of newly arrived sick or deranged white agents, it would have been much more energetic. - As a missionary for the conversion of the native Africans to christianity, we cannot think he has a superior.

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.

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.
