Description

Holograph, signedWilliam Lloyd Garrison plans to go to Albany on the 21st of April with Charles Lenox Remond to attend the anti-slavery convention, with special reference to the Irish Address. They will carry the Irish Address with them. There are many Irish people in Albany, NY. Garrison will try to visit Northampton with Charles L. Remond and Wendell Phillips. David Lee Child should prepare a stirring address for the anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Garrison is both an Irish repealer and an American repealer, favoring the dissolution of the Union. There is a conspiracy between the Irish demagogues and Southern slaveholders. If Daniel O'Connell remains true, Southern sympathy for Ireland will stop. Garrison refers to the "slaves of the Creole." (The Creole was a slave ship bound from Norfolk to New Orleans.)Merrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison
