A letter to the editor, from \u201cLeo\u201d,\u00a0 from Philadelphia, indicates opposition to the Appeal, because he does not believe Walker wrote it, not because he is a man of color, but because \u201cthe matter brought forward\u00a0 in said pamphlet is the result of more reading than could have fallen to the lot of that man , and at the same time, have left so vulgar as he has been represented to me\u201d\u2026.\u201dhe never could have read all the authors quoted in his book, and seen of what true greatness consisted\u2026.to say nothing of the most excellent criticisms upon the speeches of the most talented men of the age\u2026\u201d\u00a0 He then goes on to disparage the circulation of the pamphlet\u2026.\u201dwhy cast this firebrand so injudiciously among the stubble\u00a0 Behold its injurious effects! \u2026. I am opposed to the pamphlet \u2026. Because I believe it to be at the bottom of the recent enactment of severe laws in the southern states\u2026..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Garrison in notes to above letter,\u00a0 reminds his readers that \u2018we have repeatedly expressed our disapprobation of its (the pamphlet\u2019s) general spirit. It contains , however, many valuable truths and seasonable warnings.\u2019\u00a0 \u2026\u2026.Then he assures readers that he does not question the authorship of the pamphlet\u2026\u2026\u201dWe are assured, by those who intimately knew him, that his Appeal was an exact transcript of his daily conversations; that, within the last four years, he was hurtfully indefatigable in his studies; that he was not \u2018vulgar\u2019, either in manners or language; and that he was a blameless professor of religion.\u00a0 The historical facts which he has collected were too familiar to have required extraordinary research.\u00a0 Besides the internal evidence of the pamphlet clearly substantiates its authorship.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
