Many people have thanked William Lloyd Garrison for his "protest in the Journal against the laudation of the signer of the Fugitive Slave Law, in company with our lamented Sumner, by the Massachusetts Legislature now in session." Garrison refers to the Millard Fillmore resolutions. Two colored friends of William Lloyd Garrison, Joshua Bowen Smith and James Needham Buffum, made no attempt to oppose the passage and resolutions.
