Francis Jackson Garrison, William Lloyd Garrison, 1805-1879; the story of his life told by his children: volume 4, Chapter 1: no union with non-slaveholders!—1861. (search)
: In view of the unparalleled excitement now existing Lib. 31.66. throughout the country, arising from the treasonable attempt of the Southern slave oligarchy to overturn the General Government, and to erect an exclusively slaveholding despotism upon its ruins, to the overthrow of all free institutions, it is deemed by the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society a measure of sound expediency to postpone the usual anniversary of the Society, in the city of New York, in May next, until further notice—a decision which they are confident will be most cordially ratified by the members and friends of the Society; especially in view of the cheering fact that there is at last a North as well as a South, and that the present tremendous conflict is in its tendencies strongly and irresistibly toward the goal of universal emancipation, or else a separation between the free and slaveholding States in accordance with the principle of No Union with slaveholders! Let nothing

uppression of the African slave trade; and provided for the enrolment of colored soldiers. All these measures received the prompt approval of the President, but in May he again disappointed the high May 19. hopes he had thus raised, by revoking the proclamation issued ten days earlier by Major-General David Hunter, commanding theoclamation, canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? Will he make many supplications unto thee? Lib. 32.82. Nevertheless, while renewing his criticisms at the May meetings in Boston, and pressing home to the President the responsibility which the latter had now assumed of speaking or withholding the word which would give freeby Mr. Lincoln. on Monday, and think it possible I may visit Boston before I return. Should I do so, shall hope to see [you]. God bless you! Giddings. From the May meetings in Boston Mr. Garrison went to the Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends at Longwood, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he spoke repeatedly during the

more pleasure than he inserted the communications of two or three non-resistant friends who deemed it more Lib. 33.112, 116, 124. than ever the time for them to bear their testimony. To the latter he yielded space now and then, with his usual fairness and generosity, but he steadily declined to be dragged into any extended discussion of the peace and non-resistance doctrine, for reasons which he had Ante, p. 26. already fully set forth. Pursuant to adjournment from its annual meeting in May, the American Anti-Slavery Society met in Philadelphia on the 3d and 4th of December, to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of its formation, to rejoice over the emancipation, by the fiat of the American Government, of three million three hundred thousand slaves, and, in the words of the official invitation which Mr. Garrison, as President of the Society, extended to various friends of the cause, not only to revive the remembrance of the long thirty years warfare with the terrible forces o

of his public conduct (Ms. April 30, 1864, George Thompson at Syracuse, N. Y., to W. L. G., Lib. 34: 74). The Presidential theme occupied the attention of the May meetings of the American and Massachusetts Societies, to the exclusion of almost everything else, and the debates at times were earnest and exciting. Mr. Phillips,Constitutional Amendment. Another indication of the revolution in public sentiment was the action of the General Conference of the M. E. Church, at Philadelphia in May, excluding from membership all persons guilty of holding. buying or selling slaves, and receiving a deputation from the colored Conference, in session at the same stitution. Under pressure from General Banks, a clause authorizing the Legislature to extend the suffrage to such citizens was finally inserted (Lib. 34.182). In May, Miller McKim wrote from Washington to Mr. Garrison: I have had an interview with the President since I have been here— not of my seeking. I . . . have seen some o

him that title; in time to come, we shall need, find, and welcome the same leader. The question whether the American Anti-Slavery Society should dissolve or continue its operations caused an unusually large attendance at the annual meeting in May, in New York, not only of the old and long-tried members, but of others, hitherto seldom seen at these meetings, whose attitude towards the Society had suddenly changed from indifference or hostility to a professed conviction that its dissolution he tried to regard hopefully the course of the new President, and to believe that his Andrew Johnson. intentions were right; No one was more hopeful than Mr. Phillips. I have never expressed a doubt with regard to President Johnson, he said in May; I believe in him. I believe he means suffrage (Lib. 35: 86). but hope grew fainter from month to month, as Johnson's purpose to restore the entire political control of the returning States to the whites, without any guarantees whatever for the pr

Chapter 8: to England and the Continent.—1867. In May, Garrison accompanies George Thompson to England. He visits the continent for the first time and makes the acquaintance of the French Liberals, and in August participates (as a delegate of the American Freedman's Union Commission) in the International Anti-slavery Conference at Paris. In June he is honored with a public breakfast in London, presided over by John Bright, to which an International significance is given by Earl Russell's confession of his injustice towards the North during the civil war. Similar honors are bestowed upon him in various parts of the kingdom, particularly from the workingmen and from the temperance organizations, and he is presented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh. A tour in Switzerland intervenes. From the time the destruction of slavery was an assured fact, Mr. Garrison had cherished the hope that he might once more revisit his transatlantic coadjutors, and rejoice with them tha

es of the Republican party in other States, though of grave moment on the eve of the first Presidential election after the war, disturbed his buoyant and hopeful mind. In the lecture on his summer's experiences in Europe which he gave a few weeks later at Music Hall, Nov. 29, 1867. and repeated in other places, he predicted a speedy reaction in favor of the law in Massachusetts, and of the Republican party in the country at large; and at a great temperance rally held in Boston the following May, he May 13, 1868. was one of the principal speakers. The Legislature elected in the fall of 1868 reenacted the law, and, in the annuallyrenewed conflict of the next three or four years, he frequently wrote and spoke in behalf of prohibition—in the Independent and at various temperance meetings.

a more accurate counterfeit presentment of your father's features could possibly be made; and I am particularly pleased that it has been achieved by a woman (Ms. Mar. 28, 1879, W. L. G. to F. G. V.). The bust, which is now (1889) at Rockledge, stands on a pedestal which brings it exactly to Mr. Garrison's height (5 feet 8 1/2 in.). An engraving of it forms the frontispiece of this work. He had spent the Christmas holidays of 1877 with his children in New York, and was with them again in May, for a fortnight. The greater part of July, August, and September, 1878, he passed with his daughter and her family at Tarrytown, on the Hudson, a region appealing strongly to his love of the beautiful and romantic in nature. There he rested quietly for weeks, enjoying the lovely outlook upon the Hudson and Tappan Zee, playing at ninepins with his grandchildren, driving to Sleepy Hollow and other places in the vicinity, and making excursions up the river to the Military Academy at West Aug
