outhward with the strength and impetuosity of a thousand Niagaras, in direct conflict with that haughty and perfidious Slave Power which has so long ruled the republic with a rod of iron for its own base and satanic purposes. The annual meeting of the Society stands postponed until further notice. For the same weighty considerations the usual May meetings in Boston were also omitted (Lib. 31: 70). This conclusion was the result of a correspondence Mss. W. L. G. to O. Johnson; E. M. Davis, J. M. McKim, J. S. Gibbons, O. Johnson to W. L. G., April 19-25. between the leading members of the Society in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, who were united in the opinion that it would be folly to attempt to arrest the public ear at such a moment. As Mr. Garrison wrote to Oliver Johnson: Now that civil war has begun, and a whirlwind of violence Ms. April 19, 1861. and excitement is to sweep through the country, every day increasing in intensity until its bloodiest culminatio

was confident in 1870 that women would be enfranchised by a Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution before 1876. He scouted, however, an attempt to prove that political equality had been already obtained by the 14th and 15th Amendments as on a par with Bishop Berkeley's sublimated theory that there is no such thing as matter, it being only a projection of the mind or spirit. It is precisely like the attempt made, by certain individuals, Ms. Jan. 4, 1872, W. L. G. to E. M. Davis. to prove that there were no pro-slavery clauses or provisions to be found in the United States Constitution, sticking to the letter thereof, and disregarding all the historical facts pertaining to its adoption, the clear understanding of it by the people, and the uniform concurrence of all legislative and judicial proceedings under it pertaining to slavery and the slave trade. Such criticism is neither fair nor sensible, and totally at variance with the truth. In the name of common sen

and the greater proportion of spiritliterature is utterly worthless. But this is no more to the Ante, 3.375, 376. disparagement of Spiritualism itself than the follies and extravagances of professed Christians are to Christianity, or the unprincipled acts of Democratic partisans are to genuine Democracy. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God, is as needful advice to-day as it was in the Apostolic age. In the following year he wrote thus to Edward M. Davis of a certain adventuress: Mrs.——thinks there is no more thoughtless and Ms. Jan. 4, 1872. irrational conclusion than that people acting under Spirit guidance are less to be trusted, and less personally trustworthy, than those acting under other guidances. But this is to beg the question; for it assumes, first, that when any persons claim to be acting under Spirit guidance, their word is not to be questioned; and secondly, that conceding that they are thus influenced (which certain
