George Russell has included the list of names, along with the addition of two more names, that he promised to Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman and which he had in his vest pocket when he called at her house. Miss Mary C. Whitman (the last name on the list) is not yet a "thorough-going" abolitionist. Miss Whitman is doubtful whether many signatures can be obtained to the petitions. According to her, the people of East Bridgwater do not wish to distract the attention of Congress at the September session from the subject of the "business pressure."
