The Anti-Slavery League for all England for formed. They held a public meeting last night that was "a real old organIzed anti-slavery meeting." The opening speech was made by Henry C. Wright. William Lloyd Garrison "was received by the assembly with a tempest of applause, they rising from their seats, swinging their hearts, and cheering loudly." Frederick Douglass was at his best. The closing speech was made by Henry Vincent. The "Rev. Mr. Kirk, of Boston, was in the meeting, but he found the atmosphere too warm for him at last, and left the room."
