Through the columns of leading journals in New York, St. Louis, andother localities, we have had occasion to acknowledge the fact that thepolitical views which gave rise to the present volume, thoughcomparatively new, have generally met the approval of distinguishedstatesmen and philanthropists, North and South.[A]
The following note from the venerable Mr. Giddings indicating theproposition, is but one of a large number which we have received fromvarious parts of the country:—
Jefferson, Ohio, July 13, 1859.
My Dear Sir:—I am heartily in favor of Mr. Blair’s plan offurnishing territory in Central America for the use of such of ourAfrican brethren as wish to settle in a climate more congenial tothe colored race than any that our government possesses.
I hope and trust you may be successful in your efforts.
Very truly,
J. R. GIDDINGS.
J. D. Harris, Esq.
The subjoined, respecting the work itself, is from Mr. William{4}Cullen Bryant, by whom, in addition toMr. George W. Curtis, a portion of these communications was reviewed:—
Roslyn, Long Island, August 26, 1860.
Dear Sir:—I have looked over with attention the letters you leftwith me, and return them herewith. It appears to me it will be verywell to publish them. Of the Spanish part of the island of SanDomingo very little is known—much less than of the French part;and the information you give of the country and its people isvaluable and interesting.
I am, Sir,
Respectfully yours,
W. C. BRYANT.
