Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seventh Annual Report of the American Society: For Colonizing the Free People of Colour of the United States The American Colonization Society held its Annual Meeting at the Supreme Court Room, in the Capitol, on Friday evening, 20th February, 1824. [We are greatly obliged to Mr. A. J. Stansbury, Reporter of the House of Representatives, for the following account of the proceedings on this occasion.] After the Hon. Bushrod Washington had taken the Chair, the Report of the Board was read by Mr. Gurley. General Robert Goodloe Harper then rose and offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the Society be presented to the Board of Managers, for their active and successful attention to the affairs of the Society confided to their care, the prudence, steadiness, and diligence, displayed by them in all their operations, and their very able and satisfactory Report laid before this meeting. General Harper then rose and addressed the meeting to the following effect: Mr. President, I will now call the attention of the Society to a matter of some, though not, perhaps, of very great importance. It is to a proposition for giving a name to our African Colony. Names are, at all times, matters of convenience, and sometimes of advantage. Our Colony has at present no name. It is situated, indeed, near a Cape called Montserado, and has hitherto taken its only designation from this circumstance; but that is a name not appropriate to its object, a name that means nothing.
