Liberator, Boston."Letter addressed from Anti-Slavery OfficeJohnson writes May concerning his resignation from the National Anti-Slavery Standard. Johnson states that it was "cowardly and base in Phillips" to "deprive [him] by a trick of all opportunity" to defend himself and the Standard at the anniversary meeting, and states that the Executive Committee has been taken over by "revolutionists". Johnson expresses his doubts that the motions passed by Phillips and his followers would have been voted for had the participants realized what would naturally follow. Johnson states that he has informed Phillips that he is resigning from his editorial position at the Standard, as he cannot represent Phillips's views, and that he will be temporarily replaced by Parker Pillsbury
