value of self-control; and if ever the hasty word or sharp reflection rose to her lips, it was repressed, and with evident good-will. In a quite long and intimate association with that circle of friends, old and young joining easily, I never saw in her an exception to this gentle spirit, this sweet and kindly disposition. It made sunshine whenever she came among us, and, with the accompaniment of a voice in unison with her temperament, never failed to insure her a joyful welcome. On the first anniversary of his marriage Mr. Garrison thus wrote of his wife to her brother George: I did not marry her expecting that she would assume a prominent station in the anti-slavery cause, but for domestic quietude and happiness. So completely absorbed am I in that cause, that it was undoubtedly wise in me to select as a partner one who, while her benevolent feelings were in unison with mine, was less immediately and entirely connected with it. I knew she was naturally diffident, and distrustf

e enemies of that race, accustomed to denounce Mr. Garrison as an amalgamationist, they were playfully informed in advance that they would soon be Lib. 4.131. enabled to decide whether the editor of the Liberator is to espouse a white or a black woman. On the nuptial day, the journey for Boston was begun in carriages by way of Worcester, the couple being accompanied by Mr. Garrison's aunt Newell, his mother's youngest sister, the only one of his relatives present at the wedding. On the 5th, housekeeping began in Freedom's Cottage, on Bower St., near Walnut St., Roxbury, in which Mr. Garrison had boarded during the first part of his courtship, and which he had now been enabled to secure for the honeymoon. The situation was of great seclusion, embracing a grove, and of great natural beauty; distant a little more than three miles from the heart of Boston, and a good half mile from the nearest omnibus. The midnight walk home from his office in Boston after the last hourly had

him so well that the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer was Lib. 4.193. quite right in designating him as an incendiary British missionary rather than emissary. Some of the Philadelphia Quakers objected to Thompson because he made such long prayers (Ms. Mar. 27, 1835, Henry Benson to G. W. Benson). In his youth he was employed as one of the under-secretaries in the London Methodist Mission House, and used to hold evening meetings in some of the poor districts of the metropolis, and go about on Sundays distributing Bibles and tracts (May's Recollections, p. 109). He is often styled Rev. in the reports of his meetings in America (Lib. 5.1; 6.8; and 2d Annual Report of the American A. S. Society, p. 47). Nevertheless, he did not entirely escape that species of warm reception with which the Enquirer menaced him in case he should cross the Potomac. His windows were broken in Augusta, Maine, where a State Anti-Slavery London Abolitionist, 1.152; Lib. 4.174. Convention was in progress;

-law, Mr. Garrison wrote, May 31, 1834: Never shall I forget the emotions which arose in my Ms. bosom, on bidding you farewell at the close of my visit in March last. Your house was then thronged with colored pupils from Miss Crandall's school, who were summoned as witnesses at Mr. Olney's A colored man, falsely accuse Life of Follen, p. 139). Dr. Follen had first openly allied himself with the abolitionists at the second annual meeting of the New England Anti-Slavery Society in March, Lib. 4.42. 1834, where he made a speech in fullest sympathy with their aims, while deprecating the use of harsh language. In May following, he participated in want of patriotism. On this score Mr. Garrison's conscience was easy; witness part of his speech at the annual meeting of the New England Anti-Slavery Society in March: Sir, our professions of republicanism and Christianity are Lib. 4.42. lofty; but neither God nor the world will judge us by our professions, but by our p

litionist? Or has he only denounced slavery in the abstract? I wish he could have an opportunity to converse with Thompson. Dr. Channing's wish would have been anything but that—anything, except to meet Mr. Garrison himself. His failure to acknowledge the latter's appeal was perhaps owing to sickness. March 13, 1834, Mr. Garrison wrote to G. W. Benson: Sickness prevented the Rev. Dr. Channing from being present at our meeting [of the New England A. S. Society in the Tremont Temple, March 10]; otherwise we should in all probability have had a speech from him. I understand he fully agrees with us on the great question of immediate emancipation. In July, Dr. Channing was accounting for the New York riots by the fatal mistake of the abolition watchword immediate. (See p. 531 of the centenary edition of his Life.) In the fall, Mr. May was still laboring with him to reconcile him to the word and the idea. (See pp. 170-185 of his Recollections, and pp. 528-536 of the Life just cit

In January, 1834, he began a correspondence which speedily culminated in a proposal of marriage on his part, and in a joyful yet self-distrustful acceptance on hers. In April, on his way to Philadelphia, he visited her for the first time as an acknowledged suitor, and, to his great satisfaction, was received by her in her customary simplicity of dress. Truly, he writes. not Ms. April 24, 1834. one young lady out sits in the United States Bank. Thompson had indeed arrived on these shores, having embarked with his family on the ship Champlain, and, Lib. 4.155. after a five weeks voyage, landed in New York, September 20, 1834. He had been preceded in April by Charles Stuart, who brought with him a thousand dollars which Lib. 4.59, 63. had been collected for the colored Manual Labor School, while to Mr. Thompson had been entrusted a splendid silver salver, elegant books, and other gifts for Miss

Mr. Garrison to G. W. Benson, Nov. 30, 1835, resembles me very closely in his habits of procrastination. Indeed, I think he is rather worse than I am in this respect. He lacked neither industry nor devotion, but the more subscribers he obtained in his fashion, Ms. Feb. 4. 1834, A. Buffum to W. L. G. the worse the confusion grew, and the louder the complaints directed against his host and backer, Arnold Buffum. Mr. Garrison's anxiety deepened as his suit prospered with Miss Benson. On April 12, he wrote her as follows: Hitherto, having had none to care or provide for but myself, Ms. I have felt contented in getting merely my daily bread. But duty to myself and to you requires that I should make such arrangements with the Liberator as shall afford me, if a moderate, at least a sure income. I am therefore resolved no longer to be shackled by the pecuniary responsibilities of the paper, but to have a stipulated salary for my services. This salary ought to be not less than o

Other interviews, on Mr. Garrison's return to Boston (in May) and again in July, pleasantly interrupted and stimulated their ardent correspondence.

eau a little in advance of him, and of which the captain was admonshed by the pilot to hide Mr. Thompson for his life if he had him on board. This precaution might have been justified. Toward the close of September, however, there was a temporary lull in the mob energy which for two months had displayed itself in every part of the North, beginning with New York; and the efforts of the Courier and Enquirer to revive it for Mr. Thompson's benefit Lib. 4.155. failed of success. On the 6th of May the American Anti-Slavery Society Lib. 4.78. had held unmolested its first anniversary in the same Chatham-Street Chapel in which, the year before, the New York City Anti-Slavery Society had been forced to organize by stealth, and to adjourn precipitately in Ante, p. 382. advance of the mob at the gates.

The partners next make an estimate of the cost of printing the Liberator, and, allowing $700 for the editor's support, show an annual deficit of $1700. They propose the raising of a fund of one thousand dollars, in shares of ten dollars each, to be paid over to the Treasurer of the New England Anti-Slavery Society on or before the middle of June, subject to the order of Garrison & Knapp; and a periodic examination of their accounts by the Managers of the Society, with an annual report from them to the several contributors. This rather vague scheme, coupled with anticipated voluntary efforts to extend the circulation of the paper, and a threatened rigid enforcement of the rule exacting payment in advance, apparently failed of approval, for on June 6 Mr. Garrison wrote to Miss Benson (who had promptly Ms. April 14, 1834. met the si
