There were FIVE warrants (besides the

In reference to the Abolition sentiment
in Boston. would state this circumstance:
all the time the excitement was going on
with me, there was NO protection of tire
city authorities offered me. and none turn
ed out in my favor: But when George
Thompson. the English Abolition lecturer
was expected. and a meeting was a'nnounc-
ed to receive him, it was rumored that
"'oo 'Shl aSSCNOIe CD i!tS reCcptfOn, anu
the Mayor instantly ortlefed out thc city
officers to attend and suppress any mob
showing that tile city authorities were dis
posed to q i've protection. to an Aboiitionist,
which they had withheld from me while
engaged in my lawful business and nv

ing the negroes. that they would have
been rescued by the citizens.

my visit to Boston would occupy too much
time and patience, 7 will, therefore, con-
clude by saying that, went to Boston a.
all agent to execute Il lawful trust, think
ing should be protected and assisted Ivy
the laws of my county. But. on the
Contrary, from tire first, tie laws of the
country. instead Of proving protection,
were made an ers;ne Of cruelty. oppres-
sion, injustice and abuse so that my life
was constantly endangered-and this with
out the first offer of assistance from Govern
ment, National. State or City. feel
that every man who has Southern heart
in his bosom. and would maintain the honor
Of his county, should sustain the Southern
Rights cause, by every constitutional mea-
sure. until our rights are acknowledged
ard justice!
