Description

Holograph, signedWilliam Lloyd Garrison writes: "I have just read the scandalous attack upon Miss Martineau, in the Daily Advertiser, to which you refer in your letter. It will confirm her in the faith, for it is too passionate to convince or alarm a steadfast and enlightened mind like hers. To think that the Advertiser has at last become so vulgar and malignant as to quote with deference and strong approval the vile slang of the Courier and Enqirer!" Garrison reproaches Nathan Hale for low editorial character. He likens the effect of Harriet Martineau's attendance at the anti-slavery meeting to a thunderbolt. He comments on Dr. Channing's book and Professor Sidney Willard's review in the Christian Register. Dr. Channing said that "there are slaveholders who 'deserve great praise.'" Garrison admires George Thompson's letter in the LiberatorMerrill, Walter M. Letters of William Lloyd Garrison
