Overview

Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 3: February, 1847 Not long after the promulgation of this report, there appeared in the Biblical Repertory, a review of Mr. Kennedy's Report on African Colo nization, in the House of Representatives, said to be from the pen of Dr. Alexander, containing a most able exposition of the system, completely vindicating the societies and colonies from all objections and aspersions of their enemies, open or concealed, declaring the enterprise, to use his own words, to be the most important commenced in any part (f the world since we began life; and that the success which has attended it, considering the feebleness of the means and the scantiness of the resources of the society, is one of the most extraordinary events in the history of the world. Soon followed the annunciation of the work now before us, for which he is entitled to the thanks of every true friend of Africa and the African, and to the gratitude of every citizen of Liberia: not only that he has thus espoused that cause, which alone promises relief to the oppressed Africo American, but rescued from unmerited detraction, those who have left home, kindred and birth-place, for an asylum in a foreign and barbarous land. As our time will not permit us to speak further of this work at present, we cannot better fill our pages than by copying entire the Introduction, which contains the author's views of the subject in general, properly speaking his creed on African Colonization, the perusal of which, cannot fail of gratifying our readers.
