William Lloyd Garrison was welcomed by anti-slavery friends at Isaac Post's house. On Saturday, Garrison left for Syracuse. Samuel Joseph May is looking better than expected, but he is lacking in vigor. May has made up his mind to go to Europe. May's daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Wilkinson has a beautiful baby. Samuel J. May will be in Boston on Friday or Saturday. On Saturday evening, Garrison spoke on the religious aspects of "our cause" in the church in Cortland, where W. H. Fish officiates. Garrison also gave three long speeches on "Inspiration, the Bible, Ancient and Modern Tests of Piety, and the relations of our cause to to the government and Union." Fish has done great work in this region.
