William Lloyd Garrison will be with Samuel Joseph May on July 4th; Garrison has not yet written his address for July 4th. Will Mr. (John Quincy) Adams be present at the event? Garrison suggests examining some of Adams's objections to abolition in his address. He sets forth the principles of Samuel Bradford of Indiana, who addressed the Boston nonresistance circle. Garrison inveighs against ritual in Christianity. Garrison has replied to James Gillespie Birney in the Emancipator. Garrison says that Joshua Leavitt's "introductory remarks show a disturbed state of mind."
