SummaryResumen
*The Liberator* reprinted an address originally found in the *Boston Post*, dated July 10, 1847, from American expatriates in Saint Domingo who had emigrated in 1824. The address shared a newly passed law of emigration from their House of Congress offering paid passage, fifty acres of land, farming implements, and maintenance to foreign farmers, along with an exemption from military service. While the newspaper's editor stated a preference that colored people remain in the United States, they expressed no objection to voluntary emigration to Haiti.
*The Liberator* reprodujo una proclama tomada del *Boston Post*, fechada el 10 de julio de 1847, suscrita por expatriados estadounidenses en Santo Domingo que habían emigrado en 1824. El documento difundía una flamante ley de colonización votada por el Congreso que garantizaba pasaje costeado, cincuenta acres de terreno, útiles de labranza y sustento a los labradores foráneos, además de la dispensa del servicio de armas. Aunque la redacción del diario manifestó su predilección por que las personas de color permaneciesen en Estados Unidos, no formuló reparo alguno a la emigración voluntaria hacia la isla.

Haling the colonization of the Colonization Soci
ety, with a perfect hatred, we have no objection to
colonization, in the abstract, and really with the
‘own consent’ of the emigrants. It is the coloniza
tion which would make its objects so uncomfortable
at home, that they will fain go abroad, that we detest.
Emigration, voluntarily and considerately chosen, as
an improvement of condition, we have no objection
to. For this reason, we copy the following Ad
dress,' which we find in the Boston Post. If any
colored man thinks it for his good to emigrate to
Haiti, we say to him, God-speed. But, still, we
think his true field is this country. —q.
