William Lloyd Garrison is pleased by Samuel Johnson's approval of his (Garrison's) reply to editorial criticism by the Boston Advertiser regarding a letter about the oppression of loyal blacks. Garrison regrets that some of the old abolitionists seem to have lost interest in the fate of the colored race. Garrison quotes from the Advertiser's account of the Boston riot of 1835.
