dnesday, the clerk of a militia company, (a poor, worthless scamp,) presented a bill of $4, for failure of appearance on May muster, and at the choice of officers. The fact is, I had been in the city but a fortnight, from my Vermont residence, when the notification came; and, as I expected to leave in a very short time, I neglected to get a certificate of my incapacity to train on account of short-sightedness. Moreover, though I have been repeatedly warned since I first came to the city in 1826, yet never, until now, have I been called upon to pay a fine, or to give any reasons for my non-appearance; and I therefore concluded that I should again be let alone. I told the fellow the circumstances of the case—that I had never trained—that my sight had always excused me—and that, in fine, I should not pay his bill. He wished me a good morning, and in the course of the day sent a writ by the hands of a constable, charging me to appear at the Police Court on the 4th of July, and shew <

iety. His sons were afterwards the Baltimore agents of the Liberator. A grandson, Prof. Richard T. Greener, was the first colored graduate of Harvard University (Class of 1870). Associated with them in the conduct of the Genius was a young Quaker woman, Elizabeth Margaret Chandler, a resident of Philadelphia, who possessed considerable literary taste and skill and decided poetic talent. Early attracted by Lundy's efforts in behalf of the slaves, she had become a contributor to the Genius in 1826, when in her nineteenth year, and some of her productions were widely copied. She now consented to take charge of a department of the paper styled the Ladies' Repository, which occupied a page and a half of each number. Her industry was unceasing, and her brother editors greatly valued her aid. She died Nov. 2, 1834, in her twenty-seventh year, while residing with her brother in Michigan. Her literary productions were subsequently published in a volume for which Mr. Lundy wrote the intr

s in their elucidation. I am decidedly in favor of the one first mentioned; because all plans will be likely to prove nugatory as long [as] the church refuses to act on the subject—it must be purified, as by fire. It must not support, it must not palliate, the horrid system. It seems morally impossible that a man can be a slaveholder and a follower of the Lamb at the same time. A Christian slaveholder is as great a solecism as a religious atheist, a sober drunkard, or an honest thief. In 1826, the Synod of Ohio held an animated discussion on a question which had been before referred to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, viz.: Is the holding of slaves man-stealing? in the affirmative of which a large majority concurred. This is a rational view of the subject; consequently no slaveholder ought to be embraced within the pale of a Christian church. Is not the fact enough to make one hang his head, that Christian men and Christian ministers (for so they dare to call

white countrywomen?. . . When woman's heart is bleeding, Shall woman's voice be hushed? The most important extraneous feature of the second volume of the Liberator was the republication of Letters Lib. 2.133-[181]. on American Slavery, addressed to Mr. Thomas Rankin, merchant at Middlebrook, Augusta Co., Va., by John Rankin, Pastor of the Presbyterian Churches of Ripley and Strait Creek, Brown County, Ohio, of which the first edition was published at Ripley, in the latter State, in 1826. The letters themselves appear to have been written in 1824, when their author was about 31 years of age. Following the reprint in the Liberator, an edition in book form was put forth by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, and a fifth edition was published by Isaac Knapp as late as 1838. Still another edition bears the imprint of Charles Whipple, Newburyport, 1836. Mr. Garrison pronounced them among the most faithful and thrilling productions we have read on the subject of slavery. They were priv

protest, Mr. Benson was chosen President of the New England Anti-Slavery Society, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Kenrick, and in February, 1834, was unanimously reelected to the same office. His health was now very feeble, but his sympathy with the cause was undiminished, as with that other cause of which Abolition was but a part—the cause of Peace. He was one of the first vice-presidents of the Windham County Larned's Windham County, 2.475. Peace Society established in 1826 through the efforts of S. J.

Reared in the Baptist faith, his views had gravitated towards those of the Society of Friends, to whose principles respecting war, slavery, and oaths he became a convert. This was rather a case of reversion than of conversion, for the affinity between the early Friends and the Baptists was very strong (see Tallack's G
