mories, promptly pilloried these remarks of the President in the Refuge of Oppression, pronouncing them puerile, absurd, illogical, impertinent, untimely. At Lib. 32.134. this distance of time it is impossible to read the President's remarks with either gravity or indignation, but it is quite otherwise with the pathetic story of the dismal collapse of the experiment in colonization actually made in Hayti. See Mr. Charles K. Tuckerman's account in the Magazine of American History for October, 1886; also, Lib. 34: 55. For a clever travesty by Orpheus C. Kerr (R. H. Newell) of the President's talk to the colored delegation, see Lib. 32: 140. Early in August Mr. Garrison visited Williamstown, Mass., and delivered an address before the Adelphic Union Aug. 4, 1862.

d the verdict which the New South, amazed by her marvellous growth and development under freedom, has already pronounced. The New South rejoices in the Union and its wide domain, and, most of all, it is proud that the blot of slavery has been removed from its escutcheon. It says, in all heartiness and sincerity, God be praised for this crowning glory of a wonderful century (James Phelan of Tennessee, in a speech prior to his election as member of Congress from the Memphis district, November, 1886). Bitter to my taste as were the results of the civil war, day after day has reconciled me to them, and convinced me of the wisdom of cheerful submission to the will of Him who brought them about. The union of these States has been preserved and declared indissoluble. A great and disturbing constitutional question has been finally and forever settled, and slavery has been forever abolished; it no longer tarnishes the fair fame of a great and free republic. Because it was involved i

e present national visitation has come upon us. I have written it without a metaphor, or a single flight of the imagination, or anything to relieve its sombre aspect. To old abolitionists it would be trite, but to the mass of my audience it will, perhaps, be as good as new. . . . One gets weary, however, in the constant affirmation of these moral truisms, which would seem to be as plain to every mind as the midday sun is to the vision. Ms. W. L. Garrison to W. P. Garrison. Boston, August 10, 1862. Ms. A week ago to-day (Sunday), I was at Pittsfield, and found it to be as beautiful and attractive as eye and heart could wish. I there met Professor Fowler of Poughkeepsie, who, like John W. Fowler. myself, was on the way to Williamstown, to deliver one of the orations. . . . Monday evening, the young student, Mr. G. C. Brown, whose home is in Pittsfield, and who engaged me to give the address before the Adelphic Union Society, drove us to Williamstown, a distance of twent

in view might be different from theirs. It would be his earnest endeavor, with a firm reliance on the Divine arm, and seeking light from above, to do his duty in the place to which he had been called. Mr. W. D. Kelley, M. C., who was present at the above interview, has given a singularly blundering account of it in the chapter contributed by him to A. T. Rice's Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln (pp. 281-283). The proper correction was applied by Oliver Johnson in the N. Y. Tribune of Sept. 6, 1885. All through the summer the pressure upon the President increased. Individuals and delegations waited upon him and urged him to proclaim emancipation, but two ideas still possessed his mind—to induce the Border States to agree to his scheme of gradual or immediate Ante, pp. 47, 48. emancipation, as they might elect; and to institute a movement for the removal and colonization of the freed people. The first scheme he again presented to Congress in a message accompanying the draft

h we are so desirous of seeing. Let us advocate no postponement of duty. Ms. Mar. 18, 1862. Though not yet prepared for decisive action, Congress was by no means inactive during the long spring session of 1862, and the record of its anti-slavery legislation was enough to show the irresistible sweep of the current towards freedom. In February it passed an act Wilson's Anti-Slavery Measures in Congress, pp. 17-223. forbidding army officers to return fugitive slaves to their masters; in April it decreed immediate emancipation in the District of Columbia, and thus finally purged the nation's capital of the stain of slavery; Loyal slave-owners were compensated at the average rate of three hundred dollars for each slave. The bill was passed by a strict party vote, the Democrats solidly opposing it. in June it forever prohibited slavery in all the Territories, and authorized the President to appoint diplomatic representatives to Hayti and Liberia; in July it declared free all sla

after all, but very little left, either in point of numbers or power; the fangs of the viper are drawn, though the venomous feeling remains. Still, it has its effect, and produces a damaging, if not paralyzing, impression at Washington. In February Mr. Garrison lectured in Greenfield, Mass., Feb. 10. after attending the New York State Anti-Slavery Feb. 7, 8. Convention at Albany, and brought home a desperate cold which clung to him for several months. It was during this period that Mr. Though not yet prepared for decisive action, Congress was by no means inactive during the long spring session of 1862, and the record of its anti-slavery legislation was enough to show the irresistible sweep of the current towards freedom.

article appeared should also contain President Lincoln's first Emancipation Proclamation, Sept. 22. promising a final edict of freedom to the slaves in all States or parts of States which should be in rebellion against the Government on the first of January following, Just a month before this (Aug. 22) Mr. Lincoln had addressed his famous letter to Horace Greeley, stating that his paramount object was to save the Union, without reference to slavery. If I could save the Union without freeingreimbursed. These discreditable qualifications and suggestions are not mentioned by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay in their account of this message (Century Magazine for March, 1889). In view of this menace to the promised emancipation edict of January 1, the abolitionists had no option but to go on, and Mr. Garrison, in writing the call for the annual Subscription Festival on which the maintenance of the American Society depended, rehearsed the reasons for continued effort.
