Positive Reception for The Unionist

Liberator

The Liberator August 3, 1833

Positive notice

Transcription

The Unionist.’ Such is the title of a new paper just established in Brooklyn, Conn. It is edited by Charles C. Burleigh, a gentleman of talents and uncompromising integrity; and has for its motto the inspired declaration, ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation.’ In accordance with the spirit of this motto, we find the editor is opposed to the oppressive law concerning Miss Crandall’s school, and has enlisted warmly in her defence. The other paper in that place is under the control of the dominant party, and is in fact the mouthpiece of Judson and his associate. On this account we hail the establishment of a new paper with joy. We trust it will receive an adequate support from the friends of truth and the enemies of oppression in that quarter.
