The anti-slavery schoolmaster was abroad, and was beginning to turn New England and the North into one resounding schoolhouse, where he sat behind the do will subscribe to form here an anti-slavery society. Mr. Greenleaf [Simon] also, will cordially come in, and I need not say he is one of the first [men] in the State, for his character is known.

better, to hold the Convention in Roxbury or Cambridgeport. This stirring Convention, the published call for which had 3,000 signatures (Supplement to Lib. May 14, 1836), and which was attended by 500 delegates, was held in the Rev. Mr. Blagden's Salem-Street Church, Boston, through no good — will of the pastor ( Right and Wrong, 1836, [2] p. 9), whose retirement, a few months later, to become pastor of the Old South (Lib. 6.163),was thought to be in consequence of this Convention. Samuel Fessenden, of Portland, presided (Lib. 6.87). . . . Mr. Lunt's Report will be suffered to lie upon the table until it rots. The Senate will not touch it. Good! Two days later he again wrote to Mrs. Garrison: I have indeed been very busy with the paper and other Ms. April 18, 1836. matters since my return; so busy that I have visited nobody, except the Chapmans and Miss Sargent, and then rather in the way of business. Last evening I was at Miss S.'s, in company Sunday, April 17.

But if otherwise, please to let me know, and I will press him further on the subject. The scheme for the financial control of the Liberator had on the whole worked well. At the close of May, immediately after the New England anniversary, a second meeting of the friends of the paper was held in Lib. 9.91. ChardonStreet Chapel, with Samuel Fessenden in the chair. Its qualities were once more rehearsed in flattering but truthful terms, the charges against it refuted, and subscriptions made for its support. Henry C. Wright spoke to its alleged infidelity: If to quote the Bible almost every other sentence—if to fashion a man's style of writing after the Bible—if to refer to the Bible perpetually, constitutes infidelity, then is Wm. Lloyd Garrison an infidel, and the Liberator an infidel paper. He [the speaker] had often challenged

Among his converts was General Samuel Fessenden, a man of fine presence, a lawyer of the highest standing, and one of the pillars of the Colonization Society in to Mr. Winslow's, where conversation lasted till past midnight. Related by Mr. Garrison to his son F. J. G. General Fessenden presided at the formation of a State anti-slavery society in the spring of the following year (Lib. 3.75, 79). He was flogical and the moral weight of it for the best minds may be inferred from the following extract from a letter of Gen. Samuel Fessenden to Mr. Garrison, dated Portland, Dec. 14, 1832 (Ms.): Last Monday evening was our Law-Club meeting, and I had theed. . . . I have shown thy circular to several of thy friends, all of whom are zealous in the cause. Thou mayst rank Gen. Fessenden among the first. . . .

they would cease to be frank-spoken, active reformers; and so it has proved. Liberty Party as such is dying, and merging under other names in other movements. The New York bolt was distasteful to the Eastern wing of the Liberty Party. Samuel Fessenden of Maine wrote to the Emancipator: I feel chafed at the idea of our greatest and best men lugging in, as seems to me, by the head and shoulders, so many things to embarrass and cripple our great and glorious cause in which we are engaged. How have we blamed Garrison, and that class of anti-slavery men, for bringing in and mingling with the cause so many exciting topics! Lib. 17.106. In explanation of this passage, Mr. Fessenden wrote to the editor of the Liberator (Ms. July 13, 1847, Lib. 17: 106,117): When I saw such men as Birney and Goodell, claiming Gerrit Smith as a coadjutor, mixing up with the simple principles of the Liberty Party a variety of extraneous topics, I confess I was mortified at what seemed to me to be gr
