Archibald H. Grimke, William Lloyd Garrison the Abolitionist, Chapter 19: face to face. (search)
Washington by Preston S. Brooks, served to intensify the increasing belligerancy of the Northern temper, to deepen the spreading conviction that the irrepressible conflict would be settled not with the pen through any more fruitless compromises, but in Anglo-Saxon fashion by blood and iron. Amid this general access of the fighting propensity, Garrison preserved the integrity of his nonresistant principles, his aversion to the use of physical force as an anti-slavery weapon. Men like Charles Stearns talked of shouldering their Sharp's rifles against the Border ruffians as they would against wild beasts. For himself, he could not class any of his fellow-creatures, however vicious and wicked, on the same level with wild beasts. Those wretches were, he granted, as bad and brutal as they were represented by the free State men of Kansas, but to him they were less blameworthy than were their employers and indorsers, the pro-slavery President and his Cabinet, pro-slavery Congressmen, an

As to military fines, these are doubtless the same as expressed by the editor of the Liberator (10: 27) in a letter to Charles Stearns, imprisoned in Connecticut for refusal to train or to pay a fine. If, in paying a military fine, you countenance the militia system, then, in paying your ordinary taxes to Government, you sanction its rightful authority and are responsible for its acts. But, I conceive, it is not so. In neither case do you necessarily manifest your approval. You submit to pay tribute, be it ever so unjust, or for whatever purpose it may be used by Government—in accordance with the injunction of the a

on to the Territory, but he had never had any faith in it as a breakwater against the inundation of the dark waters of oppression. He knew that the emigrants represented only the average sentiment of the North on the subject of slavery. As Charles Stearns wrote to the Liberator from Lawrence on December 24, 1854: Multitudes of those who are such flaming abolitionists here, Lib. 25:[6]. as they call themselves, are a sui generis kind of abolitionist—a mongrel character, like Aunt Opheliappointed in the character of the New England emigrants. They come here, as men go to California, mainly after money. The siege of Lawrence, and the sight of a free-State man wantonly murdered in this exciting period, caused Mr. Lib. 26.2. Stearns formally to renounce his non-resistance views, and to shoulder his Sharp's rifle against wild beasts (not men). Mr. Garrison still held to the faith. He presided on March 24, 25, at a New England Non-Resistance Convention held Lib. 25.50, 60.

Similar warrants were issued March 28, 1660, requiring John Gibson, Sen., his wife, and his daughter Rebecca, wife of Charles Stearns, to make answer to the widow Winifred Holman.

The first thing that makes us suspect them is that after she had two extraordinary strange fits, which she never had the like before, Mary Holman asked her why she did not get some help for them, and she answered she could not tell what to do; she had used means by physicians,
