Holograph, signed
Oliver Johnson has just returned from a pleasant trip to Pennsylvania. The Standard has a great favor with the abolitionists there; some even talk of uniting the Freeman with it, though Oliver Johnson thinks such an arrangement most improbable. Johnson writes: "They all agree that C.C.B [Charles Calistus Burleigh] is not half as good an editor as lecturer; ...They are seriously thinking of inviting Wendell Phillips to the editorial chair!" Johnson comments: "The Standard is a very agreeable paper under Mrs. Child's administration; but I could wish it had in it more of the Liberator fire. It does not sufficiently expose the corruptions of the Church, I think. Its agreeableness is attracting the support of some half-and-half, milk-and-water sort of abolitionists, who will always new organize in an emergency. It is often complimented at the Liberator's expense. ...I don't want our papers to become too popular lest it should require too much time and sacrifice hereafter to take care of their reputations." Since Mrs. Child "has the soul of an Old Oganizationist," Oliver Johnson is relieved of anxiety. He favors holding the 8th anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia. Oliver Johnson will probably visit Ohio and Indiana in ten days
