Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: December, 1831 Upon the whole, it may, it is believed, be affirmed, that the annals of mankind scarcely present us with the instance of a colony, so remote in. Its position, that, in so short a time, has obtained such maturity. \vhen to this it is added that the colony has been principally fostered by the con tributions of individuals, its friends have abundant reason for congratula tion at the success ofa scheme, which, under the smiles of Providence, has so signally prospered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: March, 1831 At Toma, a small village about sixty miles from Sierra Le one, Major Laing learned that no white person had ever before been seen. At Balanduco, a few miles beyond Toma, the women were busily employed in separating the juicy saffron coloured fruit from the palm nut; in squeezing it into wooden mortars, and in beating it into one common mash, in order that the oil might be extracted more easily and more copiously in boiling. From the extent of the preparation, and the numer ous bunches of the fruit which the natives were continually bringing into the town, it might be estimated that they manu factured, on an average from thirty to forty gallons a day, du ring the season of bearing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: September, 1831 The different circumstances of different sections of our coun try in regard to our coloured population; the fact that one per. Tion of this population is free, and the other is not; the va rious rights, interests and habits connected with the system of slavery, and the diversity of opinion growing out of these and many other causes, rendered it necessary that any plan, de signed for the improvement of the free people of colour, Should be adopted with caution and executed with discretion. Nothing was more important than that the plan should be one in which all the humane and benevolent could unite; that it should be national in its character - of course, founded opon principles to which none could reasonably make objection. It must not in fringe upon private or political rights; it must neither disturb the peace nor endanger the welfare of anv portion of the coun try. It must go forth in the meekness and power of truth, mo ving the minds of men with gentle and persuasive influence, and gaining victories only over the human conscience and the human heart.

This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: October, 1831 The idea of colonizing our free black population is bv no means of re cent date. As early as the year 1777, this interesting topic was brought before the Legislature of Virginia, and a scheme of great benevolence, though different very essentially from the present, was earnestly pressed upon the consideration of that body. It is deeply to be regretted, that the peculiar circumstances of the country at that time, exhausted as it was by its great revolutionary struggle, should have prevented the con summation oi a plan, which was suggested by the benevolence, and warm ly supported by the talents of so great a man as Thomas Jefi'srson. To Virginia, however, at a later and more propitious day, is due the honor of having first given a decided impulse to this interesting subject - and her resolutions, passed in the year 1816 requesting our Executive to correspond with the President of the U. States, for the purpose of obtain ing some spot beyond the limits ofour country, upon which a colony might be suitably planted, followed by similar resolutions from Georgia, Teo nessee and Maryland, have been the corner stone, upon which the Socief ty has been reared, and have given to its plans that wide extended popu larity, which they have so eminently enjoyed for the last sixteen years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 12: August, 1836 C read the following extract Before I came from America, I behaved that the cause of Colonization was the cause of God, and since I have been here, I am but the more confirmed in that opinion. I believe that the same Spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, has moved upon the hearts Of the Colonization Society; and that they under God will be the instruments Of gathering the sons and daughters of Africa into one place - the land of their forefathers. I am very much pleased with this country. Would not leave it and go back to America to reside again for the whole United States. It is indeed a delightsome place; I never saw so beautiful a situation - the sea on one side and noble rivers On the other. It is very healthy too. Here is a vast field for benevolent enterprise. Oh for a heart, wisdom, and grace to go for ward and labor for the cause of Christ and his glory. Col. Lv. L. Stone said, he rose with more than ordinary pleasure to second the resolution which had been Offered by Mr. Pinney. He intended no speech, however. He would merely state that Mr. Teage was the editor Of the Liberia Herald: and there was something fitting that in the absence of one editor another editor should stand in his place. (laughter and applause.) While he assured the audience that the art of printing had not yet attained to very great perfection in Africa, he could at the same time point out as many as three hun dred papers, at least, now published in the United States, which evinced less intellect in the brains of the editors than the Liberia He rald. He trusted the friends Of Colonization would think that there was sufficient intellect under a colored skin to believe and to show, that Mr. Teage's paper merited the support of his friends in the U. States. (applause) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: August, 1831 After the close of our revolutionary war, many negroes who ed from their masters, and sought protection with the British armies during its progress, were scattered through the Bahama Islands, and Nova Scotia. Others had found their way to England. In 1787, a private company in England sent 400 of them, with their own consent, to Sierra Leone, on the western coast of Africa About five years afterwards, twelve hun dred of those from Nova Scotia were transported to Sierra Leone, by the British government. The Maroons, from Jamaica, were removed thither in 1805. The hostility of the French, the opposition of the Nao tivcs, the selection ofa situation which proved to be unfortunate in many local particulars, and perhaps more than either, the heterogeneous mate rials of which that settlement was composed, for some years, retarded its growth. All these difficulties, however, have been surmounted. That colony contains more than twenty thousand souls, of whom more than three-fourths are re-captured Afrimns, whose rapacious owners had des tined them for foreign bondage. 'l'owns are reared up, churches and schools established, agriculture has become a settled pursuit, and society has put on a regular and stable appearance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: November, 1831 It is with extreme mortification and regret, I find myself compelled to state, that the saw-mill I have been so anxious to get into operation, and in selecting a site for which I bestowed no little labour and made great sacri fice ofhealth, is still not even commenced. The timber required for its construction is so large and heavy, the people will not undertake to pro cure it, except at a price so enormous, that your funds would not authorize me in paying it: the difficulty of transportation is also very great, from the want ofteams - the timber alone, delivered on the spot selected, would cost $2000. I have, therefore, concluded to defer it until I hear from you. Indeed, should I be able to procure the timber at this moment, still it must lay for at least twelve months to be seasoned, otherwise the mill constructed of it would not stand a year. Taking every thing into con sideration, I think it would be cheaper to purchase the timber required in the United States, and send it out in one of the expedition vessels; it can readily go on deck, without much, if any inconvenience. I enclose a list of the number and size of the pieces wanted: it is taken from the model which is on the scale of one inch to the foot. I must confess the failure, in this affair has caused me no little vexation. I was confident the thing could be satisfactorily arranged, and after having traversed no in considerable extent of country for the purpose of selecting the best loca tion and furnishing the people with a list of the timber wanted, to have the whole thus frustrated, is very trying. I attribute muth of it to the sawvers who apprehend their employment, will be taken away by the erec tion ofthe mill - this idea they derived from Dr. Randall, who opposed the erection of a mill on the same grounds, and some of these people have cited his opinion as a sanction for their conduct.
