fort on the impossible; and the latter saw fit to make an offensive and uncalled — for thrust at the abolition movement, which in his view was not reconcilable with duty under the Constitution. He apparently intended the slur not merely for Mr. Garrison's followers, but for those also who were in favor of a political party acting against slavery. The Boston Advertiser, Nov. 27, 1845, discountenanced the agitation as fruitless, and approved the position of Lawrence and Appleton. The Whig jourthers of a different mood saw in the darkness and tumult outside emblems of the foul and traitor-like designs within. C. F. Adams made a speech on taking the chair. The other speakers were Palfrey, Sumner, and Hillard, Whigs; Wendell Phillips, Garrison, and W. H. Channing, Abolitionists; and H. B. Stanton, of the Liberty party. Sumner had drawn the resolutions (though read by another), which, as he wrote at a later day, start with the annunciation of equal rights and the brotherhood of all me

areer in the Senate. He addressed a formal letter of acceptance to the Legislature, in which he took advantage of the opportunity to state the limitations of the Constitution and the blessings of the Union. Works, vol. II. pp. 437-440. It was, in fact, a disclaimer of the disunionism which pro-slavery partisans had charged upon him. The Compromise journals expressed surprise, real or affected, to find that the senator was loyal to the Union and the Constitution, while Edmund Quincy and Garrison respectively, in the antislavery Standard and the Liberator, expressed their disapproval. The letter, however, contained no variation from the author's former avowals, and stated the doctrine which he and his party had always held. Sumner did not take part in the autumn State election. It was an important one to him, as it involved an approval of his own election; but he naturally wished to keep quiet till he entered the Senate, and from motives of delicacy did not wish to be again pi

o revive a controversy. The Free Soilers were particularly annoyed by the reproaches of the non-voting Abolitionists. Mr. Garrison, at a meeting of the Norfolk County Antislavery Society, held at Dedham, April 22, introduced a resolution condemning the slavery question, and his omission for two months to present the petition for the relief of Drayton and Sayres. Mr. Garrison renewed his criticisms on both points at different times in the Liberator, April 23; June 4, 11, 18; August 6,13. Anor, August 14. The resolution was opposed by William I. Bowditch Mr. Bowditch, in a note to Sumner with reference to Mr. Garrison's course at the meeting, said: Much as I honor and love him, Mr. Garrison's passion sometimes seems to be to attack siMr. Garrison's passion sometimes seems to be to attack single individuals rather than the system of slavery; and it frequently happens that his attacks fall on those who sympathize very fully, though not entirely, in his views. and Wendell Phillips. The latter in a letter to Sumner, April 27, said:—

instead of Kansas. A public dinner was given in Boston, May 5, 1853, to John P. Hale, the candidate of the Free Soilers for President at the last election; and fifteen hundred plates were laid in the hall of the Fitchburg Railroad station. Cassius M. Clay came from Kentucky, and John Jay from New York; and there was an abundant flow of eloquence from the antislavery orators of the State,—Palfrey the president, Sumner, Adams, Mann, Wilson, Burlingame, Dana, Keyes, Leavitt, Pierpont, and Garrison. On the platform, besides the speakers, were Dr. S. G. Howe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, Dr. Charles Beck, T. W. Higginson, Charles Allen, and Amos Tuck. Each speaker passed from a brief tribute to the guest to thoughts and inspirations suggested by his presence and career. If the party was inferior in numbers to its opponents it surpassed them in its capacity to provide such an intellectual entertainment, and its wealth in this regard was a potent influence in keeping up the

for their future battles in the cause. Rev. Convers Francis wrote, April 2:— Thanks to you—most hearty thanks—for that masterly lecture of last Thursday evening. It is not easy to tell you how much I, in common with the great multitude, was enlightened and gratified. No one left the house that evening, I venture to say, without a conviction, never to be removed from his mind, that the antislavery enterprise was most truly necessary, practicable, and dignified. Coming out I met Mr. Garrison, who said, Well, Mr. Sumner has given us a true, old-fashioned antislavery discourse. Rev. C. E. Stowe wrote, April 9:— You are happy in having stood for the cause at the lowest point of depression and in the imminent deadly breach. The Lord give you many days and the strength corresponding! Oliver Johnson wrote from New York, July 9:— People here have not forgotten the triumph of last May. You made a deeper impression in this city, I believe, than it was ever the

licity I felt its warm, prompt pulsations, and the completeness of its defence against those cavillers who, true to the instincts of their petty souls, began at once to ransack my language to find in its alleged extravagance some apology for an act which was beyond all apology. Whenever in any speech or article I have noticed regrets for the language I deemed it my duty to use, I invariably discarded what followed as being the forced offering of the hour and not of the heart. Please let Mr. Garrison know that I was much touched by his resolution and speech. Without any sensible improvement he left the seaside, August 3, for a change of air, and became the guest and patient of Dr. R. M. Jackson at Cresson, in the Allegheny Mountains. New York Evening Post, August 4 and 16. Works, vol. IV. pp. 329, 338, 339, 340, where the reports of Drs. Wister and Jackson are found.
