Item Information

Title:
Letter from Henry Clarke Wright, Ohio, to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]60 Feb[ruary] 6
Description:
Henry Clarke Wright writes to William Lloyd Garrison about his plans to publish a pamphlet of "a letter to Henry Wilson in answer to one to me through the N.Y. Herald." He then asks if Garrison has seen Cassius M. Clay's recent speech, calling it "most infamous in points" and summarizing Clay's remarks as containing "many noble things in it but he ignores justice & Right, & goes for Color & Race." Wright mentions the push to "pass stringent laws against Anti-Slavery agitation" in Ohio and Indiana and argues "the only way to save the South & the Nation from Blood & Carnage is a stern, defiant, cool & open Resistance of soul against slave-holders."
