ine of immediate emancipation; the organization of antislavery societies, local and national; the discrediting of the Colonization Society, at home and abroad; the annexation, so to speak, before it had cooled off, of the profound anti-slavery sentiment of Great Britain to his struggling enterprise—the invitation to George Thompson to accept a lecturing agency in this country ranks as the last but, strategically, by no means the least. A friendly critic, however, himself a foreigner, Von Holst, Constitutional History of the United States, from the Administration of Jackson, pp. 104, 105 (pp. 107, 108, of the German original). The present translation is our own; that of the American edition being a betrayal. has declared that the national spirit (Nationalsinn) of no great people could or should have borne with equanimity this practical exemplification of the cosmopolitan vagueness and extravagance embodied in the Liberator motto, Our country is the world, our countrymen are all

for, without his commanding eloquence, made irresistible by the blessedness of his cause, I do not think all the other agencies then at work would have procured their freedom (John Bright, London Farewell Soiree to George Thompson, 1864). Mr. Garrison's natural prepossessions for such a character were confirmed on meeting Mr. Thompson, who on his part received him with a warmth proportioned to his changed opinion of him. The first time the English abolitionist had heard of the American, Elliott Cresson was his informant. There is, said this unscrupulous person, an incendiary paper, published in Boston by a madman who is in league with a man of the name of Walker, who has recommended the slaves to cut their masters' throats. A little later, encountering Captain Stuart, who had just returned from the United States, Thompson Lib. 3.50. was presented with copies of the Liberator and the Thoughts on Colonization, the perusal of which more than prepared him to extend a brother's welco

rica, and cooperate with the little band of abolitionists who were there struggling against wind and tide, my mission would be crowned with the highest success. One day as I was dining at the house of Thomas Fowell Buxton, The successor of Wilberforce in Parliament. in London, our conversation naturally turned upon the state of the abolition question in the United States. In the course of many inquiries, he kindly remarked, that, as the friends of negro emancipation in England had nearly it their funds abroad; he had secured that sympathy and authority and pecuniary assistance for his own movement; and he was now to bring English opinion to bear directly on the United States by introducing a champion of the victorious cause of Wilberforce and Clarkson. The last step was undoubtedly the most venturesome of the three, but the candid historian must hesitate to pronounce it ill-advised, whether Mr. Garrison's object was to cement the philanthropic English alliance, to shame his c

Chapter 13: Marriage.—shall the Liberator die?—George Thompson.—1834. Garrison marries Helen Eliza Benson, of Brooklyn, Conn., after the Liberator has been barely saved from going under. In the same month, September, George Thompson arrives from England, come at Garrison's request to aid the anti-slavery agitation in this country. Foreign interference is resented, and he is mobbed in sundry parts of New England. Freedom's Cottage, Roxbury, is the superscription of a letter addressedpportunity to visit the Bensons at Brooklyn, and every interview confirmed him in his admiration of her. She was a plump and rosy creature, with blue eyes and fair brown hair, just entering, when first seen by him, her twenty-third year. Helen Eliza Benson was born in Providence, R.
