William Lloyd Garrison hopes that John A. Collins's trip to England "will not be wholly in vain; for; unless some pecuniary aid be obtained from our English friends, we must, I fear, stop the publication of the National Standard, and dissolve our National Society--and that, too, very shortly." Garrison complains of the confusion and discord caused by the New Organization. He is glad that James G. Birney and Henry B. Stanton were well received as American abolitionists in the British Isles. The result of the presidential election made Birney's nomination look ridiculous. George Bradburn voted in violation of his pledge. In a letter printed in the Liberator, Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman has replied to the accusations made by Martha V. Ball against the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society.
