Slavery Society, Of which Mr.. Garrison is
President, was received with shouts of ap-

friend of the shave in the land then, and the
of large old fashioned Anti-Sla-

coin in reference to the negro, slave and
free while the gentlemen who have called
the Cleveland Convention have the counte-
nance to insinuate the unfaithfulness of
the President to the cause Of the slave!
Official records show that upwards Of one
hundred and fifty female recruits have
been discovered, and made to resume the
garments Of their sex. Quite proof Of fe-
male patriotism. -
