Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 8: January, 1833

Let us be arraigned before the public in our true character the character we originally assumed, and have ever since scru pulously maintained - and we do not fear the result. Is it charged, that in confining its regards to the free people of color in our country, our constitution has too narrow an object in view? \ve reply, that there are already several hundred thousands of this people, and that from the disabilities and discouragements to which they are subject here, their condition is, with a few meritorious exceptions, fruitful of misery to themselves and bur densome and corrupting to others. Is it charged, that we have done but little for our free people of color? We admit the just ness of the charge. But whilst our ardent wishes would have accomplished a hundred fold more, we still claim for ourselves the Savior's commendation of Mary: we have done what we could; - and the acceptance is, according to that a man bath, and not according to that he hath not. Our little Colony speaks for itselfand for what God has enabled us to do. Its 9.50011ap py inhabitants; its schools and churches; its civil government; its commerce, already amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, - all testify, that our Society has not existed in vain, and that the most severe, whilst they reproach us for not having done more, cannot fail ofaccording to us some praise for what we have done.
