Opis

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.
