printing-office of W. & J. Gilman, engaged in reading and study and literary composition. Crocker had been on the shoemaker's bench for a time, but afterwards went into the office of the Gilmans as an apprentice, probably succeeding, in that capacity, a youth named Isaac Knapp, who, like Crocker, was warmly attached to Lloyd and greatly influenced by his strong magnetism. Others felt this, also, and a debating society known as the Franklin Club, before which Lloyd one year delivered a Fourth of July oration, was really founded by him. Mr. Charles J. Brockway, who was two years Lloyd's junior, and recalls him as a handsome and an attractive youth, unusually dignified in his bearing for so young a man. says, in reference to this oration, that Lloyd practised his declamation in the groves and green fields on the outskirts of his native town.

itorial reference to the subject is found at the conclusion of an article on the approaching Fourth of July, in which, after reviewing the wonderful progress, material and intellectual, of the nation,other, we cannot be too Argus-eyed to detect real ones. Upon this point we conceive that our 4th of July Orators generally fail. Their orations should be composed, not merely of rhapsodies upon then. Meanwhile Mr. Garrison had resigned the editorship of the Philanthropist, and the number for July 4 contained his brief valedictory. The same day found him in Newburyport once more, where he readany, and also contributed a spirited ode for the occasion: Ode for the celebration of the Fourth of July, at Newburyport, Mass., 1828.

Of course, there is no alterhat the desired loan was promptly made, for at four o'clock on the afternoon of July 4, Mr. Garrison rose to address an audience which filled Park-Street Church and iebrate it with signal tokens of thanksgiving. Fifty-three years ago, the Fourth of July was a proud day for our country. It clearly and accurately defined the rig, and it is a crime of the blackest dye to load them with fetters.

ession which is exercised over the bodies and souls of two millions of the rational creatures of God, in this boasted land of liberty. I have been appointed, by the New-England Anti-Slavery Society, to deliver an address in this city on the 4th of July, on the subject of slavery. Although the most strenuous exertions have been made by a committee to procure a meeting-house in which to have the address delivered, up to this hour they have not been able to succeed, and probably we must resort if they shrink from the conflict, how shall the victory be won? I do not mean to aver, that, in their sermons, or addresses, or private conversations, they never allude to the subject of slavery; for they do so frequently, or at least every Fourth of July. But my complaint is, that they content themselves with representing slavery as an evil,—a misfortune,—a calamity which has been entailed upon us by former generations, The present generation [at the South] are no more responsible for the e

Meanwhile, every true citizen of that country must necessarily be content to haveof their murderous reach. This was far from satisfying the Courier and Lib. 4.85.

Disregarding this prohibition, the abolitionists of that city reassembled on the 4th of July at the Chapel, Lib. 4.110. with David Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, as the orator of the day.
