Overview

Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: December, 1843 To motives that best stir and strengthen our faculties, and of most command ing usefulness to their race. They become the Pilgrim Fathers to a land, rich in varied but undeveloped resources, where man roams untamed and unblest, which superstition darkens, cruelty tortures, and vice degrades. They bear with them the Harp of Orpheus, and the Harp of David 2 the rugged aspect of nature grows smooth at their approach, and love softens her heart. The cannibal war-cry breaks no more the silence of night; songs of peace are echoed back from the lion's den, the wilderness becomes as Eden, and the desert as the garden of God. The incense of pure devotion greets the sun at his rising, and the fire burns unquenched beneath the evening star. The poor African is secure at his daily labour, he sleeps quietly in his rude dwelling, and is no longer afraid.
