Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 9: Baltimore, June, 1857 This day was one of severe labor for all hands on board; the emigrants' effects had all to be overhauled, much of them stowed below, and the remainder arranged in proper order between their tiers of berths and made fast. The people were divided into messes or squads and captains of each appointed; arrangements were made for a systematic serving out and cooking of food, and also for the supply of water - in short - we were preparing to get under way. The next day was the sabbath; the wind still ahead; and although all seemed anxious to get to sea, yet I believe most were glad to spend one more holy day in this their land of bondage; no one present could feel that it was unprofitably spent. Early on that cold, misty morning hymns from many euphonious voices ascended in volumes of incense from the living mass, in the hold of that Colonization ship, and earnest and strong men literally wrestled in prayer. They had much - all to pray for - much to fear, much to hope, utter dependency both on God and man, the most stupid and thoughtless could not help praying. Their mid-day services were conducted in the most earnest and solemn manner; much was said in reference to their peculiar and most interesting situation; every word meant something; there was enough of which to speak that could not fail to interest all. Probably, at no time had the most intelligent so fully realized the magnitude of their perilous undertaking; for the first time on ship-board, under the control of strangers, cut off from what, to them, had been the world, from all to whom they had looked for direction and support, in the midst of this inland sea, surrounded by the dim bleak shore on which they were never again to set foot, just ready to embark on the great boundless ocean; without a strong confidence both in God and man, it must have seemed like the scaffold to the culprit, "the plunge opaque," doom itself. But they possessed this confidence, they felt that in leaving this land they were, not only, fulfilling the designs of Him, who willeth all things, but of men, of good men; they had a confidence in the promises made to them, in the hopes held out for the future good of themselves and their children. They implored the blessings of God on those who had been instrumental in providing a home for them in their far off father land, and for those who had enabled them now to seek it. The services of the day closed with a liberal collection in aid of the American Colonization Society. We say liberal, it was so in more than one sense of the word, it was comparatively so, far exceeding in amount what we have sometimes known to be given for this or a like cause in a congregation whose aggregate wealth exceeded half a million; it was liberal to the Society, as such contributions, such mites of widows and orphans must carry with them a deep and lasting blessing; and we could not doubt it possessed the other essential quality of charity as "blessing him that giveth." How will the departure of these Pilgrims, and those by every Colonization ship from the Elizabeth down to the present day, compare with that of the Pilgrims by the May Flower from Dort?

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 9: August, 1857 Life at sea is so monotonous, that it would be an extremely unprofitable business, all round, to attempt making daily or even weekly entries of events, especially as few events occur to be chronicled. One day answers for many. The ordinary sea day commences at 12 o'clock noon, when all hands fore and aft, i. E. In cabin and forecastle, get dinner. The crew are divided into two watches, called Larboard and Starboard watches, which alternate in performing ordinary ship duties. One watch is under charge of the first, the other of the second mate, when there are two mates only on board. After dinner, all hands are ordered to turn to, under charge of one of the officers, and labor till 6 o'clock, the regular supper hour. Then commences the alternate watches; from 6 till 8, is called the dog-watch; during which, half the crew have liberty to go below and sleep if they please; at 8, the next watch is called, and the other officer takes charge of the deck till 12, midnight; another change at 4, and again at8 in the morn ing, when all hands are called to breakfast: then, one watch goes below till dinner; so that the whole crew is not on deck, in good weather, except from 12 M. To 6 P. M. In times of emergency, however, of gales of wind, or any disaster, all hands are called, not excepting the cook and steward, and are kept on deck till the captain or officer considers one watch able to take care of the ship. The man at the wheel or steersman, is changed every half-watch or two hours during the twenty-four, and is, at times, the only man in active duty on board. But a sailor, in a well regulated ship, never has a leisure hour in his deck-watch in the day time. The pulling and hauling, making, taking in and trimming sails is but a small part of his duty; every part of a ship, from her deck upwards, is chafing and straining every moment at sea, in rain or shine, gale or calm, and constantly requires care, attention and labor. Probably no good, experienced shipmaster, at any one time, during his longest voyage, was ever at a loss, for a moment, to find work for his crew. At night the only business of the watch on deck, is, to steer the vessel, keep a good look-out ahead, and be ready to make, shorten, or trim sail. This is the regular routine for the officers and crew in ordinary merchant vessels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 4: September, 1848 Cases have occurred here, men have gone to the houses of sick persons, knocked at the doors, and inform them in a feigned voice, that they were the originators of the disease. 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: 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.

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.

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.
