ompromise. By this compromise slavery was not to extend north of latitude 36° 30'. From the time of this compromise till the year 1833 the slavery agitation slumbered. This was the year that the British set the slaves free in their West Indian dependencies. This act caused great uneasiness among the slaveholders of the South. The National Anti-Slavery Society met in Philadelphia and pronounced slavery a national sin, which could be atoned for only by immediate emancipation. Such men as Garrison and Lundy began a work of agitation that was soon to set the whole nation in a ferment. From this time on slavery became the central problem of American history, and the line of cleavage in American politics. The invasion of Florida when it was yet the territory of a nation at peace with the United States, and its subsequent purchase from Spain, the annexation of Texas and the war with Mexico, were the direct results of the policy of the pro-slavery party to increase its influence and it

the greatest triumphs recorded in literary history, to say nothing of the higher triumph of its moral effect. With great regard, and friendly remembrance to Mr. Stowe, I remain, Yours most truly, Henry W. Longfellow. Whittier wrote to Garrison:-- What a glorious work Harriet Beecher Stowe has wrought. Thanks for the Fugitive Slave Law! Better would it be for slavery if that law had never been enacted; for it gave occasion for Uncle Tom's Cabin. Garrison wrote to Mrs. StowGarrison wrote to Mrs. Stowe:-- I estimate the value of anti-slavery writing by the abuse it brings. Now all the defenders of slavery have let me alone and are abusing you. To Mrs. Stowe, Whittier wrote:-- Ten thousand thanks for thy immortal book. My young friend Mary Irving (of the Era ) writes me that she has been reading it to some twenty young ladies, daughters of Louisiana slaveholders, near New Orleans, and amid the scenes described in it, and that they, with one accord, pronounce it true. Truly thy

At this same time Mrs. Stowe found herself engaged in an active correspondence with William Lloyd Garrison, much of which appeared in the columns of his paper, the Liberator. Late in 1853 she writes to him : In reWhat I fear is that your paper will take from poor Uncle Tom his Bible, and give him nothing in its place. To this Mr. Garrison answers: I do not understand why the imputation is thrown upon the Liberator as tending to rob Uncle Tom of his Truly your friend, H. B. Stowe.

sence and real, living power in the affairs of men ever grows dim, this makes it impossible to doubt. I have just had a sweet and lovely Christian letter from Garrison, whose beautiful composure and thankfulness in his hour of victory are as remarkable as his wonderful courage in the day of moral battle. His note ends with the words, And who but God is to be glorified? Garrison's attitude is far more exalted than that of Wendell Phillips. He acknowledges the great deed done. He suspends his Liberator with words of devout thanksgiving, and devotes himself unobtrusively to the work yet to be accomplished for the freedmen; while Phillips seems resolvedther's motives. Henry has been called a backslider because of the lenity of his counsels, but I cannot but think it is the Spirit of Christ that influences him. Garrison has been in the same way spoken of as a deserter, because he says that a work that is done shall be called done, and because he would not keep up an anti-slavery
