resolution merely echoed his own utterances in the Legislature, and that body's agreement with him. He confessed sadly to have learned that the people at large were not behind him, that they were divided, and that a low tone must be adopted towards them. In other words, a right public sentiment had to be created, and to that end Wendell Phillips, while approving his friend's resolution, at the same time urged that a committee be formed. As to disunion, he remarked, it must and will come. Calhoun wants it at one end of the Union— Garrison wants it at the other. It is written in the counsels of God. Meantime, let all classes and orders and interests unite in using the present hour to prevent the consummation of this annexation of Texas. Lib. 15.177.

Congress, reckoned her on the side of the free States. Significant, lions Bill—or the measure Lib. 17.42. providing for the purchase of a peace with Mexico—it was met in the Senate by John C.

It was now proposed to stay Southern increase, and give full play to Northern preponderance. Sir, declared Calhoun, the day that the balance between Lib. 17.34. the two sections of the country—the slaveholding States and the nonucing a mighty reaction against the Slave Power, and, out of the slave States, is generally regarded with abhorrence.

Amid all this, the contemner of compromise, John C. Calhoun, passed most unhappy days. He had, as Secretary of State, engineered the annexation of Texas, in order to Lib. 17.33. forestall British (and therefore abolition) possession, but he was no manifest destiny filibuster, and he was filled with

The South Carolina Temperance Advocate having cleared his character as a fanatic or anti-slavery helper, he had promised Judge John Belton O'Neall, President of the State Temperance Society—the same who would have hung John Ante, p. 152. L. Brown for running off a female slave, and who brought upon himself all O'Connell's contempt and sarcasm— that he would visit the home of Calhoun. Meanwhile, however, he had been notified by Judge Lumpkin, President of the Georgia State Temperance Joseph Henry Lumpkin. Society, and evidently not a man of one idea, that the invitation extended by that body, and accepted, was revoked—at least pending an explanation. The Judge had been supplied with a copy of the Irish Address of 1842, with Father Mathew's signature, and wrote to ask Lib. 19.194. him if the document was genuine. The Apostle hesitated long, and then sent the meres<

years and ten, and standing on the brink of the grave,—two of them gray and extinct volcanoes of Presidential ambition, the third still glowing cavernously,—Clay, Calhoun, and Webster worked, in unequal and even discordant partnership, to establish a new reign of terror for anti-slavery fanatics and ensure the lasting domination ofst honest and defensible of all the enemies of our institutions—and such will be the judgment of impartial history—they might, indeed, agitate, but impotently. Calhoun's glazed eye, almost fixed in death, saw more clearly than Clay's. His last speech, read for him in the Senate, protested not against the Kentuckian's aims in beh Lib. 20: 81). Captain Rynders then resumed his seat. Mr. Garrison then proceeded: Shall we look to the Episcopal church for hope? It was the boast of John C. Calhoun, Ante, p. 275. shortly before his death, that that church was impregnable to anti-slavery. That vaunt was founded on truth, for the Episcopal clergy and la

We have no common country, as yet. God grant we may have! We have no common Union, as yet. God grant we may have! We shall have it when the jubilee comes—and not till then. The American Anti-Slavery Society met in New York Lib. 23:[78], 81. city at the Chinese Assembly Room on May 11, 1853, amid the utmost quiet. Calhoun, and Clay, and Webster had, as Mr. Garrison pointed out, been translated since 1850. Lib. 23.81. Was there no one to give the signal to Rynders to save the Union once more by mobbing the abolitionists away for another term of years? Could Mr. Garrison, unchecked, mention as signs of progress the blotting out of those pillars of the Slave Power, the Jerry rescue, the armed stand against the Fugitive Slave Law at Christiana, the success of Uncle Tom's Cabin? So it appeared. Douglass, too,

This revolutionary proceeding threatened to divide by a Lib. 24.23. great wedge the free States of the Pacific Coast from those of the interior and the East, and to give to the Slave Power the exclusive control of the Mississippi Valley. The Compromise of 1850 had left the Missouri Compromise untouched and unquestioned. Calhoun—grant him Southern California and New Mexico for slavery—was ready, if reluctant, to protract the dividing parallel to the Ante, p. 217. Pacific. Lewis Cass, in his famous letter to A. O. P. Greeley's Struggle for Slavery Extension, p. 47. Nicholson, December 24, 1847, laid down a principle of squatter sovereignty broad enough, indeed, for all the Territories of the United States, yet intended for immediate application only to the imminent acquisitions from Mexico.

Swiftly following the Theodore L. Cuyler in the Evangelist, Lib. 35: 70). a visit was paid to the grave of April 15. Calhoun, the party consisting of Messrs.

It was on the very morning when Abraham Lincoln died. The April 15. cemetery is a smallbuilt of brick, and covered with a large, plain slab of marble, inscribed with the simple name, Calhoun.

t peril of death almost by a miracle. You were not turned from your path of devotion to your cause, and to the highest interests of your country, by denunciation, persecution, or the fear of death. You have lived to stand victorious and honored in the very stronghold of slavery; to see the flag of the Republic, now truly free, replace the flag of Ante, p. 141. slavery on Fort Sumter; and to proclaim the doctrines of the Ante, pp. 141-144. Liberator in the city, and beside the grave, of Calhoun. Enemies of war, we most heartily wish, and doubt not that you wish as heartily as we do, that this deliverance could have been wrought out by peaceful means. But the fierce passions engendered by slavery in the slave-owner determined it otherwise; and we feel at liberty to rejoice, since the struggle was inevitable, that its issue has been the preservation, not the extinction, of all that we hold most dear. We are, however, not more thankful for the victories of freedom in the field
