Cresson, Elliott 1796-1854 Philanthropist; born in Philadelphia, Pa., March 2, 1796; was a member of the Society of Friends, a successful merchant, and a man devoted to the promotion of the interests of the Indians and the negroes. He planned a colonization of American negroes in Africa, and was actively engaged in establishing the first colony of liberated slaves at Bassa Cove. Subsequently he was president of the American Colonization Society (q. v.), and in 1838-53 labored in its behalf in New England, the Southern States, and Great Britain. He died in Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 20, 1854, and bequeathed property valued at over $150,000 to charitable purposes.

Britain was conducted by the emissary of the society, Elliott Cresson, a man perfectly fitted to perform his part with remars offered in justification of their step the fact that Elliott Cresson is now in England as an agent for the Colonization Socack! Garrison promptly threw down his challenge to Elliott Cresson, offering to prove him an impostor and the Colonizatioof the United States. From the first it was apparent that Cresson did not mean to encounter the author of the Thoughts in puas bent on a joint public discussion between himself and Mr. Cresson. But Mr. Cresson was bent on avoiding his opponent. HeMr. Cresson was bent on avoiding his opponent. He skulked under one pretext or another from vindicating the colonization scheme from the seven-headed indictment preferred aga by the agent of the New England Anti-Slavery Society. As Cresson could not be driven into a joint discussion with him thereon to his side all the staunch anti-slavery spirits, while Cresson was able to retain only a few titled, wealthy, high-preten

Naturally, the Quaker element was only attached to him more closely by his peace utterances, and the support sent up from Pennsylvania was consequently of the strongest. Goodell, in his Friend of Man, expressly asserted the right of Lib. 7.146. Garrison and the Grimkes to their opinions along with other Quakers—like Elliott Cresson, for example. Whittier, as might have been expected, was not wanting with a letter of encouragement. N. P. Rogers, in the Lib. 7.154. Herald of Freedom, declared of his friend: Under Lib. 7.158. God, William Lloyd Garrison is the mover of American Anti-slavery. But for him I know not why there should be now a single anti-slavery society in the whole land; and added, that the clerical dissenters cannot take a single anti-slavery position but what Garrison holds the right of discove

ropagation of felony— intermarriage, namely, between the two races—against which the law should have been invoked as much as against the mob. His Quaker ally, Elliott Cresson, as foreman of the Grand Jury, follows the Alton example Lib. 8.171. in presenting both the rioters and the abolitionists, and returns approvingly to the couty in the Representatives' Hall of the State House; Lib. 8: 21, 22). This was complimentary in comparison with the accusations brought against Mr. Garrison by Cresson's brother-in-law and fellow-colonizationist, the Rev. Mr. Dickey, who publicly accused the editor of the Liberator Lib. 8.27, 46. of Fanny Wrightism—of advocatin intercourse of the sexes —and offered to prove it from his writings. Mr. Dickey even went so far as to call him a Hicksite Quaker—no Lib. 8.46. anti-climax in Cresson's orthodox connection, and quite the equivalent of calling a man an infidel. This latter form had now become the favorite one in the mouths of those clergymen

shall go with Rogers down to Ipswich, (70 or 80 miles), to see Clarkson, and get him to come out with a letter against the Colonization Society, if I can. He says Cresson deceived him. Mr. Garrison's engagements prevented his making the intended visit, but in September he had the supreme gratification of publishing in the Liberaor (10.154) Clarkson's renunciation of the Colonization Society. He apologized for any shortcomings in his reception of Mr. Garrison in 1833, and showed both how Cresson had hoodwinked him, and how he had regained a clear vision as to the diabolical scheme.

review of it appeared in the British Eclectic Review, the organ of the Nonconformists, for Feb., 1833, p. 138. The work was eagerly greeted by the English philanthropists who had already begun to unmask and to thwart the Colonization agent, Elliott Cresson. It furnished the basis of Charles Stuart's Prejudice Vincible (Liverpool: printed by Egerton Smith & Co., 1832), reprinted with other matter in a pamphlet published by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, called British Opinions of the American Colonand blasphemous sentiments as regards slavery than this individual.
