1. That the Mayor did not humble himself before
the mob, but that, on the contrary, he told them,
from the door of the Old State House, that the law
should be maintained if it cost him his life.
2. That he did not assist in, or consent to, the
throwing of the Liberator sign
to the mob.
3. That, with his own hands, and not without per
sonal risk, he rescued Mr. Garrison from a furious
crowd.
4. That he did a very sensible thing in keeping
Mr. Garrison in jail overnight ; and that Mr. Gar
rison himself, at that particular moment, was the
person who most clearly appreciated this happy con
trivance.

That the Mayor never repented his action,
but always felt grateful to have been able to over
come so considerable a crisis without loss of life.
In conclusion, allow me to say that I do not blush
for my father ; but, in a spirit of Christian charity,
I would gladly blush for Wendell Phillips, were he
not past all such help.
Very respectfully,
THEODORE LYMAN.
