About this Item
This same William Hutchins, most likely, gave an address denouncing equality of Blacks and whites to the Windham County Colonization Society on July 4, 1834. This was rebutted in the pages of a lost issue of The Unionist, as noted by The Liberator in its 9 May 1835 article, “A Heathenish Doctor: Genuine Colonization Doctrines!!” Garrison noted that "The address was ably reviewed, at the time, in the columns of the Brooklyn Unionist, by its intelligent editor, Mr. Burleigh, who challenged the heathenish doctor to a public discussion." By this time (May of 1835), Charles Burleigh was working closely with Garrison in Boston.
