The first settlement from this country was made in 1821; and the infant Colony, under incredible embarrassments, against the combinations and efforts of an inhuman and mercenary spirit, and the earlier and almost indomitable prejudice and hostility of native tribes, has graduall and peacefully extended its borders; received, protected, and educated emigrants fiom the United States, and many of the natives; has triumphed over all obstacles, and now presents to the world a free, vigorous and per manent commonwealth.
