About this Item
This ad ran continuously in The Liberator starting in March of 1833. There are two notable changes in this only known appearance in The Unionist. William Lloyd Garrison and Arnold Buffum, both of whom were locally notorious, vilified as "outsiders" who were interfering with a local matter, have been dropped from the list of endorsers, in favor of Amos Phelps and Samuel Sewall. The “Rev.” in front of Cassey’s name was a misprint. It is surprising that this ad is not reprinted in the later copies of The Unionist.
