Overview

Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: February, 1845 The failure of the Niger expedition prostrates for the present, and proba bly forever, the hope which it was intended to realize; [the hope of open ing an intercourse with the less demoralized nations of the interior, by ascending that river. It has shown that we must reach the countries on the Niger from the west, by the route pointed out by Gen. Harper in 1817, and followed by the Portuguese mulattoes in 1660. Of all Atlantic ports, Monrovia is probably the nearest to the boatable waters of the Niger. The Atlantic termination of the route must be somewhere from Liberia to Sierra Leone, inclusive. Nor is there any reason to hope that this route can ever be made available for any purpose of practical utility, till Colonization has.
