William Lloyd Garrison has just arrived from Providence, traveling in the company of about 200 people, mostly delegates to anniversary meetings and the majority abolitionists. No one on board spoke against the anti-slavery cause. Our opponents are cowardly except when they are sure of a majority. William Ladd lectured on peace. Lucius Manlius Sargent, the temperance champion, was a passenger on the boat. William L. Garrison and Henry C. Wright silenced their opponents in the discussions. Gerrit Smith gave $300 to the Oneida Institute. William L. Garrison is a guest at Dr. Samuel Hanson Cox's mansion.
