Excerpt from The Tract Society and Slavery: Speeches of Chief Justice Williams, Judge Parsons, and Ex-Governor Ellsworth

The Distinguished Names which appear on the title page of this pamphlet, cannot fail to secure for it an attentive perusal. A word of history will sufficiently inform the reader why these eminent men, (all of whom are parishioners of Rev. Dr. Hawes, and two of them deacons of his church,) felt themselves called upon to speak on the occasion.

The Hartford Tract Society has been accustomed to hold its Annual Meeting early in January more than forty years - in connection with which, the friends of the cause in the City have contributed for its promotion. A short time before the anniversary of the Society this year, a few persons of like sympathies on the subject, organised a new society, auxiliary to the Tract Society at Boston - whose first public meeting was appointed and held in the Center Church (Rev. Dr. Hawes')on the evening of the 29th ult. The meeting was addressed by the pastor and several individuals from abroad, two of whom in particular - Rev. Drs. Bacon and Patton made a most ungracious attack upon the American Tract Society - denouncing its system of colportage, and its whole management and policy as unworthy the confidence and support of the Christian public - not sparing even the "Committee of Fifteen" from unmerited censure and abuse. Immediately following this meeting, the Secretary of the Society at Boston, who was present, spent a week or more in town soliciting funds for its use - the entire movement being a violation of an agreement between the New York and Boston Societies in regard to their respective fields of labor.

In view of the above facts, the three Judges were constrained by a sense of duty to stand up in defense of the American Tract Society.
