Rebellion Record: Introduction., Volume 1. (ed. Frank Moore), Introduction. (search)
which with his permission it was published. It unfolded the true theory of the Constitution and the meaning and design of the resolutions and exposed the false gloss attempted to be placed upon them by the Nullifiers, with a clearness and force of reasoning which defied refutation. None, to my knowledge, was ever attempted. The politicians of the Nullification and Secession school, as far as I am aware, have from that day to this made no attempt to grapple with Mr. Madison's letter of August, 1830. North American Review, vol. XXXI., p. 587. Mr. Calhoun certainly made no such attempt in the elaborate treatise composed by him, mainly for the purpose of expounding the doctrine of nullification. He claims the support of these resolutions, without adverting to the fact that his interpretation of them had been repudiated by their illustrious author. He repeats his exploded parodoxes as confidently, as if Mr. Madison himself had expired with the Alien and Sedition laws, and left no t

Graham, George 1772-1830 Lawyer; born in Dumfries, Va., about 1772; graduated at Columbia College in 1790; began the practice of law in Dumfries, but later settled in Fairfax county, where he recruited the Fairfax light-horse which he led in the War of 1812. He was acting Secretary of War in 1815-18; and was then sent on a perilous mission to Galveston Island, where General Lallemande, the chief of artillery in Napoleon's army, had founded a colony with 600 armed settlers, whom he persuaded to give up their undertaking and submit to the United States government. He is also said to have been instrumental in saving the government $250,000 by successfully concluding the Indian factorage affairs. He died in Washington, D. C., in August, 1830.

far and wide, and also devoted himself to his fellow-prisoners, drawing petitions for pardon for several of them. He was finally released through the liberality of a New York merchant, Arthur Tappan, and he came out of prison undaunted and in buoyant spirits. Meanwhile the Genius had ceased to appear on account of lack of support, and the partnership with Lundy was of necessity dissolved. As Garrison had no longer any reason for remaining in Baltimore, he returned to Boston, and in August, 1830, he issued proposals there for a paper of his own. He also began to lecture on slavery. When he advertised for a free hall in Boston for an anti-slavery address not a church volunteered, although it was the custom of the time to hold all kinds of meetings in churches, but a favorable response was received from an infidel society. It was actually a fact that at that period Garrison was almost the only man in New England whose eyes were entirely open to the sin of slavery. On January I

rce the payment of the same being content probably with the vindication, which his legal victory gave him. Before the reformer left Baltimore he had definitely abandoned the plans looking to a revival of his interest in the Genius. He determined instead to publish a sheet devoted to the abolition of slavery under his sole management and control. This paper he proposed to call the Public Liberator, and to issue from Washington. The prospectus of this journalistic project bearing date, August, 1830, declares in its opening sentence its primary object to be the abolition of slavery, and the moral and intellectual elevation of our colored population. I shall spare no efforts, he pledged himself, to delineate the withering influence of slavery upon our national prosperity and happiness, its awful impiety, its rapid extension, and its inevitable consequences if it be suffered to exist without hindrance. It will also be my purpose to point out the path of safety, and a remedy for the d

ittee to investigate the subject, and their report, which was adopted, was a vindication of Garrison, with a recommendation that the Society should protest against the illegal and unconstitutional decision in his case (Genius of Universal Emancipation, Oct., 1830, p. 98). As his trip to Massachusetts had failed to afford any encouragement for the renewal of his partnership with Lundy, and the revival of the weekly Genius, Mr. Garrison resolved to establish a journal of his own; and in August, 1830, he issued the following prospectus, of which the original draft, in his clear handwriting, is probably the only complete copy now in existence: Proposals Ms. for publishing a weekly periodical in Washington city, to be entitled the public Liberator, and Journal of the Times. The primary object of this publication will be the abolition of slavery, and the moral and intellectual elevation of our colored population. The Capital of our Union is obviously the most eligible spot

enjamin Tufts, of Medford, who was born 1721. Miss Francis continued to keep school until within a few years of her death. Kind friends and neighbors united with true Christian kindness and furnished her daily food as follows:— On Sunday, Mrs. Nathaniel Hall, d. December, 1841, ae. 69. Monday, Mrs. Jonathan Porter, d. October, 1852, ae. 87. Tuesday, Governor Brooks, d. March, 1825, ae. 73. Wednesday, Mrs. Joseph Manning, d. August, 1835. Thursday, Mrs. Duncan Ingraham, d. August, 1830, ae. 87. Friday, Mr. John Bishop, d. February, 1833, ae. 77. Saturday, Mrs. Abner Bartlett, d. April, 1867, ae. 89. Governor Brooks always treated Miss Francis with great kindness and polite attention. Mrs. Samuel Swan supplied her with coffee for roasting for several years before 1823. Marm Betty must have filled a worthy place in Medford's history, none the less important because limited to the little home and her little charges. Her long life overlapped the first half
