But as he declared in his speech at Peterboroa, that he could go with us even in our most odious sentiments, and as he has now connected himself with a Society which aims to destroy his long-cherished scheme, he must be strangely inconsistent if he can still support the Colonization Society. He certainly deserves much credit for the Christian manliness and magnanimity which he manifests in joining our ranks at this perilous crisis. So much for the mob at Utica! W. L. Garrison to Mary Benson, at Providence. Brooklyn, November 27, 1835. Ms. Much as my mind is absorbed in the anti-slavery cause, there are other great subjects that frequently occupy my thoughts, upon which much light remains to be thrown, and which are of the utmost importance to the temporal and eternal welfare of man. As to the Peace question, I am more and more convinced that it is the duty of the followers of Christ to suffer themselves to be defrauded, calumniated and barbarously treated, without resor

This good Northern lady, whose "sympathies" are for the " South decidedly," lives in Bangor, Maine. Her friend was probably killed. The following is an extract from her letter: "Mary Benson came to see me last week for the first time for two months.
