Holograph, signed.
Brother George William Benson left yesterday for New Haven. William Lloyd Garrison discusses the debate between Alvan Stewart and Judge William Jay on the constitutionality of slavery. Jay had the best argument. The peace resolution offered by John G. Whittier was voted down. The warlike speech by Joshua Leavitt was answered by Samuel Joseph May. Garrison received an invitation to the wedding of Angelina E. Grimké and Theodore D. Weld. Garrison does not know where he will stay; he may have to pay for board.
