raged the right OF persons TO petition Tor The
ABOLITION of Slavery here, he was DOT
hnaelf prepared 10 graut their prayer. IN
Adams said this when tie slave lopula'i0.
was double what il Is now, and when tre}
bad slave pens and slave markets here, ard ieay,
it 60 the fr.ends Of Sir. Adams 10 say what be wcuIl
