General Sam Houston lectured on slavery, defending it as a necessity, and furnishing William Lloyd Garrison with some "nuts to crack" in his lecture at the Tabernacle in New York on Tuesday evening. On Thursday, Garrison is scheduled to reply to General Houston in a lecture at the Tremont Temple; therefore, Garrison must leave for Boston on Wednesday night.
