Excerpt from Lectures of George Thompson: With a Full Report of the Discussion Between Mr. Thompson and Mr. Borthwick, the Pro-Slavery Agent, Held at the Royal Amphitheatre, Liverpool, Eng., And Which Continued for Six Evenings With Unabated Interest
Mr. Thompson had just returned from a tour through the kingdom, which was followed by the most brilliant results in favor of the immediate abolition of colonial slavery. His lectures had been every where thronged to overflowing, and the enthusiam of his audiences was boundless. The West India party had sent into the field against mr. Thompson, a person by the name of peter borthwick, well Skilled ia' artificial oratory, fluent in debate, stoically self-possessed, of considerable tact and ingenuity, with a face of bronze, and a heart of stone, and a faithful copyist of him who was a liar from the beginning.' The combatants met repeatedly, for public disputation, in Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and other places. The interest that was excited in these discussions arose to a high degree of intensity, but the Victory was never for a single moment dubious. Borthwick was met and foiled at every point, with amazing celerity and, overwhelming efi'ect and in a short time he as studiously shunned, as he had sought, a contest with his superior opponent. Yet the former was no mean antagonist either in'adroitness or ability.
