Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
Samuel May, Jr. thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his delivery of the "Independent" of the 6th, and expresses his joy that Garrison is still living to "hold up the mirror to the people, and make them see the things to which they would gladly be blind forever". Referencing the "Hamburg slaughter", May asserts that the United States is "nursing vipers in our bosom", and that the "people seem to be sleeping in a fatal security". May predicts that the "triumph of the Democratic party" in the upcoming electiosn will be an "awful calamity indeed", and states his fear that they will "have got to go through many a bloody scene yet, before the colored people of the South are safe to exercise & enjoy the ordinary rights of men & citizens". May offers his belief that Governor Chamberlain find and deliver to justice the "authors of that infernal slaughter"
