Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, 14 March, 1862
Description:
Oliver Johnson asserts that what appears to the "casual reader" to be a "serious difference of opinion" between the Liberator and the Standard concerning the matter of "the President's message" is simply a variation of critical approach and perspective rather than a true difference of conclusion. Johnson admits to Garrison that he does, however, favor Wendell Phillips's argument over that put forth by Garrison.
