Mr.. VIM. Lloyd Garrison writes
the New York Times two-cOlumn
letter against the administration.
Tho following extracts show the vig-
or and points of the veteran aboIi-
tionists: "During my recent visit to
Great Britain / was frequently asked
in different parts of the Kingdom
what was my opinion, first, Of the
character Of President Hayes, and,
secondly of his Southern policy. To
these inquiries my answers were uni
formly that l had never mot Mr..
Hayes, and consequently had no per-
sonal acquaintance with him; that /
was led to regard his elevation to the
Presidency, as against his democratic
competitor, as
AN EVENT OF TRANsCENDENT IHPoR-
TANCE,
assured no less by the popular vote,
legitimatcly cast, than by tho elector-
al commission; for, in the acceptance
of his nomination by the National
Republican Convention at Cincinnati,
in his inaugural address ut Washing
ton, and when privately interviewed
by colored deputations and others
after his election, he emphatically
recognized the duty of the govern
ment to guard the rights and inter-
ests of both races carefully and equal.
ly, while aiming to restore tranquil
ty and order where disaffection still
raised its snaky crest; that as to his
Southern policy, / was constrained
TO regard ii as totally at variance
with all his fair spoken words and
pledges; !; deplorable betrayal OF a
most sacred trust; discount upon
inflexible loyalty, and bounty upon
rebcllious usurpation,
GIVING THE SHEEP INTO THE CUSTODY
OF THE WOLVES,
on the insane assumption that the lat
ter would lose all their taste for
blood, provided all shepherdly watch
fulness were Withdrawn, making .
consolidated South wherein the vir-
tual Acknowledgement of every color
ed citizen would be ruthlessly en-
forced, and every white Republican
be driven to the wall. and at the next
Presidential election surrendering the
National Government into the hands
Of those who still ostentatiously glory
in their rebellious uprising to destroy
it. ] further added that / considered
President Hayes to have lost his head,
being the victim of an amiable cred
ulity and an hallucination whereby
all power of moral vision and patriot
ic discrimination appeared to have
been lost. Since my return home /
have been vigilantly watching all the
signs of the times, and so far from
seeing any cause to alter my iudg-
ment as to what has been done or
likely to DO done, under this adminis-
tration as pertaining to the South, l
am more deeply convinced than ever
that it is possible that
WE ARE BETRAYED
into the hands of the Philistines; that
