Overview

Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 1: March 16, 1842 We conceive, therefore, if action upon this subject is advisible at this time, it ought not to be the action Of parties or of sectional interests, but the action Of the whole white population of the state, whose ultimate interest in this matter, is and ever must be one and the same. Let action also, if any is to be had, tend to such result as it is practicable to accomplish, and at the same time not incompatible with the best interests Of any. Let the question be put at once to every white inhabitant Of the state, What is the true policy to be pursued at this time with regard to the coloured popula tion? And but one answer can be given. Colonization of the free blacks and the manumitted slaves. Enlarge upon the policy already adopted by the state, and which has for the past ten years been productive of the most beneficial results. The removal Of the free blacks to the land Of their ancestors, to the home provided for them at the expense of the state, where they can enjoy all the privileges and advantages Of a free and independent government, administered by those of their own caste and colour, is the only course which sound policy dictates, and the only one consistent with justice to this long-suffering and much injured people - with the rights of the slave-holding citizens - with the best interests of the labouring white population - and with the true honour Of the state.
