Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Forty-Eighth Annual Report of the Vermont Colonization Society: Together With the Address of Gen. J. W. Phelps, at the Annual Meeting in Montpelier, October 17th, 1867
N or shall I be needed to refute recent misrepresentations. They are few and feeble, and you understand them already. The most important is that report from a Charlestown paper, that a por tion of the emigrants who went out last November, had returned, bringing most discouraging reports and letters. You know that the number that returned, out of those 600, was exactly two and that the letter brought by them, selected as most discouraging, was from a man who was clearing his farm and building a house, and had not decided to return. And that one of his most serious complaints was, that the circulating currency, government paper. Was at 40 per cent discount, compared with gold, which is somewhat worse than ours.
