n. A few weeks later, in July, 1808, a third daughter was born to them, to whom the name of Maria Elizabeth was given, and not long after this date Abijah Garrison left Newburyport, never again to return to it or to his family. He went back to New Brunswick, and is known to have been living there in 1814, and to have made several short voyages, and he is also said to have taught school. Of the place and time of his death no knowledge exists, though he is believed to have ended his days in Canada, whither he finally went from New Brunswick. The following, which is the last known letter written by Abijah Garrison, was addressed to his cousin. Joanna Palmer, of Sheffield, on the St. John: Waterborough, July the 27th, 1814. Dear cousin: According to promise I have broken the Ice: or rather broke silence—after so long a time—and must apologise for this being the first from me, which I assure you was not from want of Respect, but principally from a barrenness of anything to addr

were performed on foot!—during which time he has held nearly fifty public meetings. He was not a good public speaker. His voice was too feeble, his utterance too rapid, to interest or inform an audience; yet he never spoke wholly in vain. In private life, his habits were social and communicative, but his infirmity of deafness rendered it difficult to engage with him in protracted conversation. How, with that infirmity upon him, he could think of travelling all over the country, exploring Canada and Texas, and making voyages to Hayti, in the prosecution of his godlike work, is indeed matter of astonishment. But it shows, in bold relief, what the spirit of philanthropy can dare and conquer (W. L. G. in Lib., Sept. 20, 1839). Rivers and mountains vanish in his path; midnight finds him wending his solitary way over an unfrequented road; the sun is anticipated in his rising. Never was moral sublimity of character better illustrated. Lundy lost no time, after his arrival in Boston,

son. November 10th, 1829. N. B.—Editors of Newspapers, friendly to the colonization of the colored race, are respectfully requested to notice the above. L. & G. Lundy was anxious to establish colonies of free colored people in Hayti, Canada, Texas, or any place fairly accessible from the Southern States, so that no master disposed to emancipate his slaves, if an asylum could be found for them, and their removal assured, could have excuse for not doing so. He apparently did not stop th the avowed purpose of driving them from the city. The result was a furious riot lasting three days—during which the persons, homes and property of the blacks were at the mercy of the mob—and the final flight of more than a thousand of them to Canada. (See Wilson's Rise and fall of the slave power in America, 1.365.) the editors of the Genius naturally took a deep interest, urging the establishment of schools and the formation of temperance societies among them; The labors of the Rev.

I am with esteem Yr. obt. servant, Arthur Tappan. Arthur Tappan (1786-1865), a native of Northampton, Mass., began his business career in Portland, Me., in 1807, removing thence in 1809 to Montreal, where he prospered until the War of 1812 destroyed his business and compelled him to leave Canada at a great sacrifice. Establishing himself in New York in 1815, he succeeded eventually in building up a large and profitable silk trade, and became one of the best-known merchants in the country, whose name was a synonym for uprightness. A man of the most simple tastes and frugal habits, he gave lavishly of his fortune to aid the religious and philanthropic movements of the day, and contributed tens of thousands of dollars to the support of the Tract and Bible Societies, theological seminar

, sacred as the persons of kings. He exhorted them, further, wherever they were allowed to vote, to have their names put on the poll-list and to go to the polls, voting for those friendly to their cause, and, if possible, for intelligent and respectable men of their own color. They should, besides, exercise constantly their right of petition—if your prayer is refused seven times, send it seventy times seven. All thought of colonizing themselves as a people, whether in Africa, Hayti, Upper Canada, or elsewhere, should be abandoned, and every intelligent man won over by the Colonization Society be regarded as a traitor to their cause—not losing sight, however, of a just discrimination among the supporters of that Society: Of the Address before Free People of Color, June, 1831, p. 23. benevolent and disinterested intentions of many individuals, especially in the free States, we ought not to doubt.

ds advised me to start early the next morning for this city, in the steamboat, hoping I might arrive in season to take passage therein, and thus baffle the vigilance of the enemy— but the ship sailed in the morning, and I did not get here till the afternoon; consequently, I failed to accomplish my April 20. purpose. My only alternative, therefore, is, to return again to New York to-morrow evening, and stealthily get away, if April 23. possible, in the Liverpool packet Probably the Canada (see Abdy's Journal of a residence in the U. S. London, 1835, 1.1-14). that sails the next morning. Probably I shall not start in the ship, but go down the river in a pilot-boat and overtake her. My friends are full of apprehension and disquietude; but I cannot know fear. I feel that it is impossible for danger to awe me. I tremble at nothing but my own delinquencies, as one who is bound to be perfect, even as my heavenly Father is perfect. The second trip from New York to Philadel
