In November, Mr. Garrison succeeded in Ms. Nov. 12, 1831. obtaining from Washington complete files of the Society's organ, the African Repository, to the study of which he diligently applied himself. He was also stimulated by the receipt from England of Captain Charles Stuart's A retired officer, on half-pay, formerly in the East India service, styled by James Cropper one of the most devoted Christians I have ever known (monthly Abolitionist. p. 40). exposure of the Colonization Society, which he reprinted Lib. 1.158. in full. But his own publication was delayed till the following year. In the interval his denunciations in the Liberator observed their usual frequency and measure.

Snelling, The Amateur, Boston; Moses Thacher, The Boston Telegraph; and Oliver Johnson; The Christian Soldier, Boston, printed on the Liberator press. These editors, again, were lawyers, ministers, and litterateurs. Oliver Johnson, who was four years younger than Mr. Garrison, was a native of Peacham, Vt., of Massachusetts parentage. He became an apprentice in the office of the Vermont Watchman, at Montpelier, where he read the Journal of the Times. Already, July 4, 1828, he had delivered in that town an address against slavery, from the colonization point of view. Like Mr. Garrison, he strove as early as possible to edit a paper of his own, and the first number of his Christian Soldier was issued in Boston within a week of the first number of the Liberator.

on the subject, it is because the exigency was not anticipated. . . . Penal statutes against treasonable and seditious publications are necessary in all communities. We have them for our own protection; if they should include provisions for the protection of our neighbors it would be no additional encroachment upon the liberty of the press. But all such protestations went for nothing: the South had no patience to wait for their translation into censorship, or even into mobs. At Milledgeville, Georgia, in the State Senate, the practical Mr. Nesbit introduced, on the 29th of November, 1831, a resolution offering a reward of—dollars for the apprehension of Mr. Garrison, which finally took the following shape: In Senate, November 30, 1831. Laws of Georgia for 1831, p. 255; Lib. 3.123. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly met.

uous reminder of the prevailing estimate, North as well as South, of the free people of color, to mean by the term freemen yellow-skins or knotty heads—these I do not recognize as such, nor are they looked upon by men of high honor and noble feeling as in any degree elevated above a level with slaves. If Boston did not suppress the Liberator, the Southerners would. The third letter was from a friendly clergyman, Rev. La Roy Sunderland, of the Methodist denomination, then settled at Andover, Mass. (Lib. 3:[94], and p. VIII. of Phelps's Lectures on slavery and its remedy, 1834). In 1836 he founded in New York Zion's Watchman. a staunch anti-slavery paper (Lib. 6.11, and Johnson's Garrison, pp. 187, 239), and published The testimony of God against slavery, Mr. Garrison thanked him privately for his warning, in a letter dated Sept., 8, 1831. first printed in Lib.

ober 4 reported that a Vigilance Association of Columbia, composed of gentlemen of the first respectability, had offered a reward of fifteen hundred dollars for the apprehension and prosecution to conviction of any white person circulating the Liberator or Walker's pamphlet, or any other publication of seditious tendency. Similar action was taken at a public meeting in Bethesda Lib. 1.174. (Richmond Co.), Georgia. In the first week of the same month there reached the post-office at Raleigh, N. C., a copy of the Liberator containing the most illiberal and Lib. 1.171. coldblooded allusions to the late supposed insurrection among our slaves (one of the baseless frights engendered everywhere by Turner's outbreak); and, the Grand Jury being then in session, the Attorney-General submitted an indictment against William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp, for the circulation and publication of the Liberator in this county, in contravention to the act of the last General Assembly.

Liberator. Charity for the Indians was then and has ever since been a conspicuous element of Boston philanthropy. When John Ridge, the Cherokee chief, came to that city in March, 1832, to present the grievances of his people, the Old South was thrown open to him, Leverett Saltonstall spoke from the same pulpit, and Mr. Pickering John, son of Colonel Timothy Pickering, and an eminent lawyer and scholar, then the city solicitor. In 1836 he published Remarks on the Indian Languages of North America. announced the latest intelligence, that the Supreme Court had decided the law under which the Niles' Register, 42.25, 40. missionaries had been imprisoned to be unconstitutional— news which Mr. Garrison, as an eye-witness, says was received with the most enthusiastic applause. Indeed, Lib. 2.39. it may safely be affirmed that no event since the organization of the government, except perhaps the treaty of peace, has created a livelier sensation of joy in 1815.

Garrison wanted no better vindication than he found in the events succeeding the 22d of August, 1831, the bloody Monday on which Nat Turner and his fellow-slaves Niles' Register, Aug. 27, 1831, p. 455. attacked some dozen white families in the neighborhood of Southampton, shot or otherwise murdered them outright—but without plunder or outrage—and threw not only Virginia but every slaveholding State into the Ibid., Sept. 24, 1831, p. 67; Oct. 15, pp. 130, 131, Lib. 1.155, 162, 170, 174 190; 2.6. wildest excitement.
