William Lloyd Garrison must go to Brooklyn directly. He will baffle his persecutors by postponing the trial there. The abolition spirit is awakening. Henry Egbert Benson's father was reelected president of the New England Anti-Slavery Society. A resolution to call a convention of delegates from all New England anti-slavery societies was adopted.
