Is the persecution of this benevolent and talented lady either republican or christian? Is it judicious to attempt to break her down by violence and insult? We know of no distinction in our State Constitution between colors, and we hope Miss Crandall will bring her persecutors to a trial of vested rights.” – New London Gazette
