Blyden. a pureblooded. genuine African. which I commend to the consideration of Senators if they desire to get intelligent information on this subject. He says. on page 396 of the second edition: After this survey of the nature of the difficulties which confront and attend European effort in Africa. we are forced to the conclusionwhich any careful reader will have seen was with us. from our protracted experience and observation on the spot. a foregone conclusionthat the instruments for the regeneration of this continent are the millions of Africans in the western hemisphere. where. after nigh three hundred years of residence. they are still considered as strangers. It seems to us that European and American workers for Africa should recognize this fact. and those nations who actively cooperated in the work of their deportation should as earnestly cooperate in the work of their restoration. This is the rediess which nature is waiting for before she will lend a finger to European effort. Justicemustprcede mercy.
