Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 1: June 15, 1842 In the colonies the natives behold all the machinery of government in motion, all the various mechanic arts to a certain extent in Operation, and all the customs and habits of civilized life more or less perfectly practised by the colonist, but a small degree removed from themselves. Every opportunity is offered and every inducement is therefore held out to the ambitious and intelligent native to imitate the example so plainly set before him and gradually to become a civilized and a christian man.
