SummaryResumen

The newspaper reported that a meeting chaired by Rev. James Falls and secreted by Elijah B. Gross issued an address encouraging friends to emigrate to the Dominican Republic, noting that a vessel had been engaged through Messrs. Amar Co. of New York and that President Pedro Santana offered a guarantee and fourteen dollars a head to merchants fitting out vessels for emigrants. Additionally, the excerpt briefly noted that the Episcopalians were holding their General Convention in New York, where the most exciting question involved the potential restoration of suspended Bishop Onderdonk.

El periódico reseñó que una asamblea presidida por el reverendo James Falls y con la secretaría de Elijah B. Gross promulgó una exhortación alentando a los partidarios a trasladarse a la República Dominicana, indicando que se había contratado una embarcación mediante los Sres. Amar Co. de Nueva York y que el presidente Pedro Santana ofrecía garantías y catorce pesos por cabeza a los armadores que aprestasen buques con destino a los emigrantes. El suelto añadía sumariamente que los episcopalianos celebraban su convención general en Nueva York, versando la deliberación más acalorada sobre la eventual restitución del obispo suspendido Onderdonk.
