Garrison, William Lloyd:

WM. LLOYD GARRISON TO CHAS. SUMNER. REVIEW OF THE SENATOR'S CAREER. GREELEYISM EXPOSED! THE BEARINGS OF THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN!

[np: 1872]. Large 8vo, 8pp. Caption title [as issued]. Folded, uncut, Fine.

Disgusted with official corruption, Senator Sumner opposed President Grant's 1872 bid for re-election and instead supported the Liberal Republican Horace Greeley. In that cause, Sumner used his considerable prestige as a pre-War abolitionist to persuade newly enfranchised African-Americans to vote for Greeley.
Garrison, backed by General John Dix and James G. Blaine, berates Sumner for his petulant, short-sighted decision. Suggesting that Sumner is jealous because Grant picked Henry Wilson, the other Senator from Massachusetts, for Vice President, Garrison demonstrates Greeley's shallow commitment to equality of rights and to other staples of the Republican platform.
