William Lloyd Garrison Mr. Garrison has become a veteran in the Anti-Slavery cause; and is yet as vigorous and full of zeal and hope, as a young convert. For the same period that Wilberforce tried to mitigate the evils of slavery, and then found it could not be done, but must be destroyed , has Mr. Garrison been in editorial life; and good service has he done too. Many of his public addresses, for soundness in Scriptural sentiments, and have not been surpassed by any pulpit in the land………May a kind Providence prolong the life of this friend of universal humanity, until the jubilee trumpet shall sound the day of liberty to all in the land; nay, the world.. For “His country is the wide, wide world, His countrymen mankind.” Syracuse Wesleyan
