In this connection an extract from
historical picture Of Burlington in 1851
will be of interest. During the previous
years Burlington had enjoyed extensive
commerce. Everything that went to in
terror towns from Montreal, or New York
or Boston by boat was unloaded at this
point and transhipped to it's destination.
With newly established railroads in opera
ton all this was changed and some of the
people thought Burlington was ruined for
ever. Real property deprecated to ruin
ious prices. For example, II is said that
Henry Leavenworth erected on east Col
lege street the brick block which bears
his name for $4,000 and 1t was sold for $5,-
200. 1t is explained that part of this 4" go
citation was due to the fact that the !
ger station was located at the
College street whereas II was expe
be built near the ravine on College L.
where the new library now stands, the
Central Vermont having formerly entered
Burlington through -he ravine, vhich is
now visible only in small sections.
The FREE PRESS Of the issue in ques-
tion also gives us picture of national
political conditions. At the beginning of
the year 1850 Zachary Taylor was Presi-
dent of the United States but in July fol-
lowing the President died and was sue
ceeded by Willard Fillmore. Such politi-
cal questions as free soil and loco-focoism
and slavery were agitating all political
circles. Schemes for the invasion of Cuba
