Henry Morton Stanley, Dorothy Stanley, The Autobiography of Sir Henry Morton Stanley, part 2.13, chapter 2.19 (search)
poor men and women had borne me company, and solaced me by the simple sympathy of common suffering, came hurrying across my memory; for each face before me was associated with some adventure, or some peril; reminded me of some triumph, or of some loss. What a wild, weird retrospect it was, that mind's flash over the troubled past! So like a troublous dream! And for years and years to come, in many homes in Zanzibar, there will be told the great story of our journey, and the actors in it will be heroes among their kith and kin. For me, too, they are heroes, these poor ignorant children of Africa; for, from the first deadly struggle in savage Ituru, to the last struggling rush into Embomma, they had rallied to my voice like veterans; and in the hour of need they had never failed me. And thus, aided by their willing hands and by their loyal hearts, the expedition had been successful, and the three great problems of the Dark Continent's geography had been fairly solved. Laus Deo.

Aaron Porter was ordained as the first minister of Medford, February 11, 1713. His own record is as follows:-- May 19, 1712: The town of Medford called me, Aaron Porter, to serve them in the work of the ministry; which call (after serious and frequent application to the God of all grace) I accepted as a call from God. Feb. 11, 1713: This day was set apart as a day of fasting and prayer, in order to separate or ordain me to the sacred office of a minister of the gospel. Th

t, for life is regarded as inviolate —no chains, for all are free. And that kingdom is to be established upon the earth, for the time is predicted when the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ. When they visit us in this quarter, we shall give those excellent women a welcome reception. You may tell them that the Friends in New England are fast ceasing to be abolitionists ex officio, and are becoming such in spirit and in truth. I shall endeavor—Deo volente —to be in New York the week preceding the anniversary meeting. If we can find time, we will then freely interchange our religious views. My own are very simple, but they make havoc of all sects, and rites, and ordinances of the priesthood of every name and order. Let me utter a startling assertion in your ear—There is nothing more offensive to the religionists of the day than practical holiness; and the doctrine that total abstinence from sin, in this life, is not only commanded b

n point of volume is that in which the poet voices the burning indignation fanned in his breast by the curse of negro slavery in America. His fellow-poets—Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell, and Emerson—were all enlisted in the warfare against this monstrous evil, and did yeoman service in the cause of freedom, but Whittier alone gave himself heart and soul to the crusade, from early manhood until the cause was won, from the time of his first association with Garrison to the time when his jubilant Laus Deo acclaimed the writing into the fundamental law of the republic of the ban upon slavery throughout the extent of its domain. Every step in the history of the conflict, which is the history of the United States for the period of a full generation, was seized upon by Whittier as a pretext for poetical expression—the terrorizing of the pioneer abolitionists, the war which the annexation of Texas made inevitable, the efforts of Clay and Webster to heal the wounds of dissension by compromise, th<

Proclamation, can hardly be matched for pungency and pregnancy of matter by any other American poem for an occasion. Whittier, who had already hailed Fremont's action in freeing the slaves of secessionists in Missouri in the poem To John C. Fremont, and the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia in his hopeful Astroea at the Capital, hailed the actual Proclamation with passion, and, later, the passage of the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery with the rapt exultation of Laus Deo. Stedman's Treason's last device glowed with anger at a proposal made, as late as 1863, to bar New England from the Union because of an opposition to slavery that made that section very obnoxious to the South. Boker in the spring of 1863 greeted the news of the Federal advance with his Hooker's across; and Chancellorsville, which called forth so many Confederate poems See also Book III, Chap. III. on the death of Stonewall Jackson, led George Parsons Lathrop to write his dashing bal

ath. 3. The language attributed to us by such lying journals as the Pennsylvanian and the Boston Post, being torn from its connection and basely garbled, does not truly represent our views. We said: If there were no moral barrier to our voting (but there is), and we had a million of votes to bestow, we should cast them all for Fremont, as against Buchanan and Fillmore—not because he is an abolitionist or a disunionist (for he is neither, any more than was Washington, Jefferson, Webster, Clay, or Jackson, occupying precisely their ground), but because he is for the non-extension of slavery, in common with the great body of the people of the North, whose attachment to the Union amounts to idolatry. Well, the Presidential struggle will terminate on Tuesday Nov. 4, 1856. next, with all its forgeries, tricks, shams, lies, and slanders. Laus Deo! Whatever may be the result, upon our banner will still be inscribed in ineffaceable characters the motto: no Union with slaveholders!

record of such, that Congress might remunerate the masters after the return of peace. Mr. Garrison read this with delight, and wrote: It goes quite as far as we could expect, and is almost tantamount to a proclamation of general emancipation Ms. Aug. 13, 1861, to W. P. G.; and when, on the 31st of the same month, General Fremont issued John C. Fremont. his proclamation emancipating the slaves of actively disloyal masters in his military district (Missouri), the Liberator hailed it with a Laus Deo, and as the beginning of the end. Lib. 31.143. The popular response was quick and enthusiastic, even journals like the New York Herald and Boston Post admitting, for the moment, the propriety of Fremont's act; but the letter of President Lincoln revoking that Sept. 11. portion of the proclamation chilled the hearts and hopes of all who felt that the time was ripe for radical measures. To the abolitionists the disappointment was especially keen, and faith in Lincoln's purpose or desire t
