다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

That the present prosperity of this colony, as well as its final destiny, are inseparably connected with the mental and physical exertion of its inhabitants, is a truth, that must long since have presented itself to the most ordinary mind:--a truth indeed, that demands the practical recognition of every individual of this community. It will be readily admitted, that we sustain some slight degree of relation to the American people, through our friends and patrons, the members of the American Colonization Society; and a person unacquainted with the duplicate nature of American society might suppose that this relation, added to considerations naturally arising from the fact, that we are native Americans, would afford us ample ground for the expectation of enlarged assistance.
