William Lloyd Garrison gives a report on the Peace Convention. Samuel Joseph May gave a good lecture in Marlborough Chapel. A respectable number of delegates attended the convention. The Hon. Sidney Willard was elected president. Effingham Capron and Amasa Walker were elected vice presidents. Women became members, entitling them to speak and vote. Abby Kelley, Miss Susan Sisson, and Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman were put on committees. William L. Garrison writes: "Endurance now passed its bounds on the part of the women-contemners, and accordingly several persons (clergymen and laymen) requested their names to be erased from the roll of the Convention, because women were to be allowed to participate in the proceedings!---They were gratified in their request." A radical resolution was offered by Henry C. Wright, opposed by Dr. Charles Follen and Rev. Ezra S. Gannett, but adopted by the large majority. Garrison wrote a "Declaration of Sentiments" that was adopted by vote. The New England Non-Resistance Society was formed with Effingham L. Capron as president. Garrison describes the house that Amos Augustus Phelps currently occupies but hopes to rent out.
