NEW ENGLAND EMIGRANT AID sCCIETYS
DEFENCE
REPLY TO THE LEXINGTON CONVENTION

REPLY TO THE LEXINGTON CONVENTION
From the Missouri Democrat Oct H.
We publish, at the request of one of the
members, the circular of the Emigrant Aid
Society of Massachusetts, to the people of Mis-
souri,. This document places that Society be-
fore the people of our State in much more
favorable light than it has heretofore been view
ed. 1t appears, from its statement that the
organization is not political one-that it
furnishes no money to any parties, nor procures
any outfits for them. 1t simply supplies ma.
chinery to emigrants after they get to Kansas,
so that they may be facilitated in their efforts
to improve their own condition and advance
the prosperity of the Territory To this, no OBJ
lection can certainly be taken and we have
only to regret that the Association did not at
an earlier period give the public information as
| to its real objects.
The recent address of the Lexington Conven-
| ton has induced this appeal to the people of
Missouri, the Society considering that body of
too much importance in its influence to mis-
| state their true character The gentlemen
| whose names are attached to this circular are
| among the most wealthy and influential in the
State of Massachusetts. One of the Vice-Presi-
dents, Mr.. Williams, is Virginian, whose rel
atives still reside in that State, and are large
shareholders and he himself is not an Adolf
| ZIONIST We understand that other members
have never been connected with that party.
| 1t would be but an act of courtesy. on the
part of those journals who have misrepresented
the Aid Society, to give it the benefit of placing
itself right before the people of the South.
To the Citizens Of Missouri:
The directors of the New England Emiprant
| Aid Company are DESTROYS to correct some of
the misrepresentation which have been sedu-
lousy circulated, in many of the public prints of
your State, in regard to their plan and purposes.
So long as these Misrepresentation we're
| made by irresponsible and preiudiced persons,
whose characters had no weight, we did not
think them worthy Of reply from u.s. But when
we find them repeated and endorsed by men of
some influence in your community, we feel that
it is due to ourselves and to the character of
the emigrants who have gone out to Kansas
under our auspices to state the truth.
In the published resolutions of the Conyen.
ton lately held in Lexington, Missouri, we find
misstatements in regard to our enterprise,
which we desire to correct. This company is
the only incorporated association, known to us,
in the United States, which has for its object
both assistance and organization for western
emigration. We must, therefore, infer that
we are referred to in the resolutions which al,
