, I was myself, for a time, deceived with regard to its character and tendency. I took the scheme upon trust; but my eyes are now open. I find, wherever I go, that thorough-going abolitionists do not support the Society. Great changes are taking place on this subject. The Society is fast losing many of its most worthy supporters; and by and by, I trust, none but slave-owners will be found in its support. Among those who have left it is Arthur Tappan, who is a host in himself. In February, 1831, Mr. Garrison attended a meeting, in the Boston State-house, whose object was to form a State Colonization Society, but he was denied permission to Lib. 1.27. speak; nor did he meet with much success in inviting the friends of colonization to defend it in the columns of Lib. 1.43. the Liberator. Meantime, the Massachusetts Legislature was induced to pass resolutions approving the Society, Lib. 1.67. and favoring the annual appropriation by Congress of $240,000 to effect the remo

is strength in a small way, for the amusement of the boys, with whom he was a prodigious favorite, but we never witnessed one of those marvellous displays, which it was well known he could make upon occasion. He was a man of uncommonly strong, though uncultivated mind, to appearance, at least, a very accurate judge of character, and possessed of a caustic humor to which he often gave vent in shrewd and original remarks about men and things around him. He died in the month of January or February, 1831, at the Columbian Hotel, where he boarded at the time. We recollect the day very well. It was one of the most dismal of a long succession of such. He was attended in his last illness, to the best of our recollection, by Bishop Moore, who also preached his funeral sermon. The services of Francisco in the revolutionary war were very great, beyond all doubt. Everybody concurs in that opinion. Yet, with regard to their specific character, we know not enough to place our hands upon
