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 Description
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.

Almost the entire voice of the country proclaims that object to be worthy Of our highest efforts, whether we consider what is due from a christian nation to the victims of its own avarice and oppression, or what is necessary in a wise people towards providing for their own security, and the peace Of their Offspring.

Book Description
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 Description
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 Description
Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: July, 1844 The question was asked us the other day, whether the disturbances and confusion recently prevailing in Hayti, did not conclusively demonstrate the incapacity of the coloured race to take care of themselves, if left to themselves - and whether an evil augury might not be drawn from Hayti in regard to the future condition of the colonies on the Coast of Africa. We answered, promptly, no! And did space permit, we would now give our reasons for the denial. But we will delay doing this until our next number. We mention the subject in anticipation, lest, the same suggestion occurring to others, the augury may be drawn as a matter of course.

Book Description
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.
