sa Walker here to assist me in concocting something of the kind; so that when we come together at the time of the Convention, we shall be tolerably well prepared for the emergency. Please not to neglect this. On August 30, 1838, Mrs. Chapman, recovered from Ms. May 25, 1838, W. L. G. to G. W. Benson. the almost fatal attack of fever induced by the fatigue of her Philadelphia experience, informs Mr. Garrison that H. C. Wright has recently been at Weymouth, much to the discomfiture of Mr. Perkins. He delivered seven lectures there, the people hearing him gladly. We all hope to see you at the Peace Convention, which, as far as I can learn, bids fair to excite a general interest. Mrs. Chapman adds: I send you Emerson's oration [the famous discourse before the Harvard Divinity School, July 15, 1838]. It is rousing the wrath of the Cambridge powers that be in an astonishing manner. How cowardly are Unitarians generally! They take the alarm at sentiments which differ only in sha

He made no secret of this, being tenacious of principle, but reckless of patronage. Nor could he disguise from himself the larger bearing of his course upon those already estranged from him by the Clerical Appeal. From New York, for example, came this friendly admonition from George Bourne, anxious to break a lance with him over the non-resistance doctrine, yet more anxious to have him see the impolicy of its advocacy: I may as well mention, however, that I anticipate no peace Ms. Oct. 1, 1838. from your Non-Resistance oppugnation!—and I hope I shall be deceived, but I foresee in it mischief to the anti-slavery cause. I am aware that you judge differently, but I cannot evade the apprehension that another firebrand has been thrown into the arena, to sever the aboli

th ( Life of Chas. Follen, p. 430). Almost in the same words, but after an interval of seven years (March 3, 1844), Emerson, in a discourse criticising the New England Reformers, held up an ideal which was like nothing so much as Mr. Garrison'sout supporting it by a total regeneration. At a date (December 2, 1841) still nearer the one which now engages us, Mr. Emerson, again in a critical mood, offered this unconscious justification of Mr. Garrison's course—this echo of his prospectusPeace Convention, which, as far as I can learn, bids fair to excite a general interest. Mrs. Chapman adds: I send you Emerson's oration [the famous discourse before the Harvard Divinity School, July 15, 1838]. It is rousing the wrath of the Cambr with reference to this epoch-making event that J. Q. Adams wrote in his diary on Aug. 2, 1840: A young man, named Ralph Waldo Emerson, a son of my once loved friend, William Emerson, and a classmate of my lamented son George, after failing in the e

rown upon the building. The light of the fire must have been seen a great distance. At midnight, by the advice of friends, I left the city with a friend in a carriage, and rode to Bristol, a distance of twenty miles, where I took the steamboat next morning for home. From the Needles's, whose mob-threatened home he quitted, on the night of the burning of the hall, with the parting benediction, Peace be with you, Mr. Garrison took refuge, by invitation, at the friendly house of Morris L. Hallowell, No. 240 North Sixth St., where the Junior Anti-Slavery Society had gathered to meet Henry C. Wright. About two o'clock the next morning (May 18) a covered carriage was driven to the door, into which he got and was spirited away. Joseph Parrish, Jr., Israel H. Johnson, and Robert Purvis bore the chief part in this deliverance. The mob violence continued for several days, and ended, as usual, by alarming the respectable sympathizers with it ( History of Pennsylvania Hall, p. 141; Li

thes, everything of value except his Mexican journal—were there stored, and became a total sacrifice on the altar of Universal Emancipation ( History of Pennsylvania Hall, p. 170; Life of Lundy, p. 303; Lib. 8: 95). Whittier and the Pennsylvania Freeman were also among the sufferers (Underwood's Whittier, p. 144). it was directed against a meeting of women; the mayor was neither eager nor able to put it down. We see again the figures of Garrison and of Burleigh; of Mary Parker, Maria Chapman, ; and the editor of the Christian Mirror to insinuate that it was disreputable for a woman to be closeted with two men in committee (Lib. 8: 107). These dissidents were reinforced by Whittier, who Lib. 8.106. wrote home to his Pennsylvania Freeman that the last day's debate over the question of admitting women to membership had nothing to do with the professed object of the Convention; and a discussion of the merits of animal magnetism, or of the Mormon Bible, would have been quite as app

or death, be our allotted portion, it will be a Happy New Year. Death was the allotted portion of the lamented writer of these lines, in the short space of three months, and, as she made her will on February 1, must have been foreseen when writing to Mr. Garrison. She made liberal bequests to the American A. S. Society and to the Boston Female A. S. Society (Lib. 7: 59). A poetic tribute to her memory, from the pen of Mr. Garrison, dated Boston, Oct. 27, 1837, was published in the Liberty Bell for 1839. The typographical appearance of the paper was improved in the ninth number of the new volume by an Mar. 2, 1838. enlargement of the pictorial heading. The old conception (rather than the old design) of a slave auction at the national capital was retained, but beside it was placed a scene of busy labor and rejoicing as the sun rose upon an emancipated race. This scene was shortly to be realized in the British West Indies. Mr. Garrison's family expenses and responsibilities

able worth of every human being] has been espoused most earnestly by a party which numbers in its ranks few great names. . . . The less prosperous classes furnish the world with its reformers and martyrs. These, however, from imperfect culture, are apt to narrow themselves to one idea, At this very moment (Dec. 21, 1837) the Quaker Charles Marriott was writing from Hudson, N. Y., to Mr. Garrison: We are sorry to hear of the indisposition of our dear sisters Grimke at our kind friend Samuel Philbrick's. They have sown much good seed on other subjects besides abolition. The charge that abolitionists are persons of but one idea is pretty well passed off (Ms.) to fasten their eyes on a single evil, to lose the balance of their minds, to kindle with a feverish enthusiasm. Let such remember that no man should take on himself the office of a reformer whose zeal in a particular cause is not tempered by extensive sympathies and universal love.
