n whose behalf he sharpened his quill are now forgotten and unknown. On the 10th of December, 1825, he completed his apprenticeship of seven years and two months in the Herald office, and under the (as it subsequently appeared, mistaken) impression that the year of his birth was 1804, and that he had now attained his majority, he signalized the event by a fervid poem of eight stanzas, entitled Twenty-One! with this concluding invocation: Spirit of Independence! where art thou?— Ibid., Dec. 16, 1825. I see thy glorious form—and eagle eye, Beaming beneath thy mild and open brow— Thy step of majesty, and proud look high: Thee I invoke!—O to this bosom fly; Nor wealth shall awe my soul, nor might, nor power; And should thy whelps assail,—lank poverty! Or threatening clouds of dark oppression lower,— Yet these combined—defied! shall never make thee The sense seems here to call for ‘me’ instead of ‘thee.’ cower!

had imagined a Hercules in shape and size; and his disappointment was great, at first, when he beheld a diminutive and slender person,—the last man, by his appearance, that he would have selected as a reformer. Clarkson, when asked, in his old age, if Wilberforce was not diminutive in person, replied, with kindling eye, Yes, but think of the magnitude of his theme! the majesty of his cause! (Lib., 10.193.)

on. President Jackson betrayed his sympathy with this scheme of spoliation, and was willing to see the State of Georgia set at naught the treaty obligations of the National Government; and in this, as in all previous and subsequent invasions of their sacred rights, the Indians had to submit to be plundered. There were many and loud protests from the benevolent and philanthropic portions of the community, and Mr. Garrison joined in them, insisting that the nation should keep its G. U. E., Dec. 25, 1829, p. 125. plighted faith. Expediency and policy, he declared, are convertible terms, full of dishonesty and oppression. Justice is eternal, and its demands cannot safely be evaded. Nevertheless, although he was invoking the aid of women in the temperance and anti-slavery movements, he was shocked when seven hundred women of Pittsburgh, Pa., petitioned Congress in behalf of Indian rights. He declared it out of place, and said, This Ibid., Feb. 12, 1830, p. 182. is, in our opini

I shall want a part of the 100 for my own distribution, and shall expect that the balance will be distributed soon. At the same time he orders two copies of the Liberator to be sent to Lane Seminary and Western Reserve College respectively, at his expense. Similar details are contained in a letter of the same Ms., Dec. 10, 1832. date addressed to George W. Benson, of Providence, who, together with his brother and other friends, had in response to the Circular ordered two hundred copies of the Thoughts: I am sure it will give you true satisfaction to be informed that the prospects of the Liberator, which, three weeks ago, were dark and discouraging, are now bright and cheering!

The story of this remarkable case cannot be pursued here except in brief. It has been fully related in easily May's Recollections, pp. 39-72; Oasis, p. 180; Life of A.

Apparently a significant part of the indebtedness was carried by James Forten. Arnold Buffum had his plan Ms. Nov. 18, Dec. 13, 1834. of making Mr. Garrison the corresponding secretary of the New England Anti-Slavery Society, and the salaried editor of the Liberator, adopted as its organ.
