William Lloyd Garrison advises Oliver Johnson not to print in this week's National Anti-Slavery Standard the speech Wendell Phillips gave in Washington, as reported by the Tribune. He doesn't know the veracity of the Tribune's report and whether revisions were made to the speech. Garrison comments about President Lincoln: "I am afraid the President's message will prove 'a decoy duck' or 'a red herring,' so as to postpone that decisive action by Congress which we are so desirous of seeing. ..."
