Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty-Eight the Annual Report of the American Colonization Society: With the Minutes of the Annual Meeting and of the Board of Directors, January 19 and 20, 1875
Of course, the Government must put down this rebellion whatever it may cost to do so But the defeat shows the necessity of greater preparation. It is no insignificant foe that we have to contend with, and therefore the treasury as well as the brain of the country will be greatly taxed, perhaps as never before. The natives have been pre paring for this war for several years. Their intercourse with foreigners has been extensive, and it has afforded them facilities for procuring guns and ammunition of superior quality. Many of them own and use the Snider ri?e. They are, too, I regret to say, in a great measure, encouraged in their rebellion by unprincipled English traders, who, to avoid having to conform to our tariff law, would like to have us out of the way.
