William Lloyd Garrison delines the invitation to speak in Providence because of prejudice against him. George Thompson may arrive in time for a debut in Providence. At the invitation of Rev. Ray Potter, Garrison will address the Pawtucket Anti-Slavery Society. The speeches of Samuel J. May and Amos A. Phelps were well received by the Salem convention. The Rev.
