Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
Henry Clarke Wright's account of the arrest and trial of Dixon will be published in the Saturday issue of the Liberator. There are more attempts at kidnapping freed slaves in New York than in New Orleans. William Lloyd Garrison regrets Theodore Dwight Weld's absence from New York during the anniversary week. Garrison is much pleased by the pacifist views of Sarah and Angelina Grimké. He believes that Christ's kingdom will be established on earth. He expects to be in New York the week before the anniversary meeting. Garrison writes: "Let me utter a startling assertion in your ear---There is nothing more offensive to the religionists of the day, than practical holiness---and the doctrine that total abstinence from sin, in this life, is not only commanded but necessarily attainable, they hate with a perfect hatred, and stigmatize entire freedom from sin as a delusion of the devil!" Garrison cites passages from the Scriptures.
