y will head the list of those who will subscribe to form here an anti-slavery society. Mr. Greenleaf [Simon] also, will cordially come in, and I need not say he is one of the first [men] in the State, for his character is known. This quotation is made from a letter of General Samuel Fessenden, of Portland, Me., to Mr. Garrison, dated December 14. 1832. Among the remarkable minds which the Thoughts disillusioned in respect of the character and tendency of the Colonization Society were Theodore D. Weld, Elizur Wright, and Beriah Green, N. P. Rogers, William Goodell, Joshua Leavitt, Amos A. Phelps, Lewis Tappan, and James Miller McKim. Garrison's assertion that the overthrow of the Colonization Society was the overthrow of slavery itself, was, from the standpoint of a student of history, an exaggerated one. We know now that the claim was not founded on fact, that while they did stand together they did not fall together. But the position was, nevertheless, the strongest possible on

t eminent man did not long remain in this mind. The discussions which he so lightly allowed swept through the institution with the force of a great moral awakening. They were continued during nine evenings and turned the seminary at their close, so far as the students went, into an anti-slavery society. This is not the place to go at length into the history of that anti-slavery debate, which, in its consequences, proved one of the events of the anti-slavery conflict. Its leader was Theodore D. Weld, who was until Wendell Phillips appeared upon the scene, the great orator of the agitation. Dr. Beecher had no notion of raising such a ghost when he said, Go ahead, boys, I'll go in and discuss with you. It was such an apparition of independence and righteousness as neither the power of the trustees nor the authority of the faculty was ever able to dismiss.

All possible phases of the great subject, such became acrimonius, and the alienation of friendships was widespread. John G. Whittier and Theodore D. Weld, who were both avowed believers in the idea of women's rights, nevertheless, felt that the enterprise, when prosecuted with ability and any sort of energy, ever failed under heaven, wrote Weld to Sarah and Angelina, so long as its conductors pushed the main principle, and did not strike ofevery reform that ever foundered in mid-sea, was capsized by one of these gusty side-winds. Both Weld and Whittier endeavored to dissuade the sisters from mooting the question of women's rights at ale have just as high an opinion of Brother Garrison's views, and he says go on.
