Francis Jackson Garrison, William Lloyd Garrison, 1805-1879; the story of his life told by his children: volume 3, Chapter 2: the Irish address.—1842. (search)
In the Senate, Calhoun led the furious Southern clamor for reparation or war (Lib. 11: 211; 12: 10). In the House, Joshua R. Giddings stood for the North in manly resolutions denying any offence against the laws of the United States on the part of tn to a treasonable view of the subject, as Caleb Cushing called it, nearly led to summary violence being executed upon Mr. Giddings by Southern colleagues. Without allowing him to be heard in self-defence, the House incontinently censured him by a vs seat, successfully appealing to his constituents for a reflection (Lib. 12: 69, 75; and pp. 117-124 of Buell's Life of Giddings ). J. Q. Adams would have voted against Giddings's first and second resolutions, allowing the slave States an exclusiveGiddings's first and second resolutions, allowing the slave States an exclusive control over slavery in their own borders. He affirmed once more the power of the general government to abolish slavery in case of insurrection or civil war (Lib. 12: 85, and ante, 2: 75). A month after the date of the above letter, Mr. Garriso

s a dozen years before (ante, 1: 264). and these were presented to Congress–in the House by the elder Adams, and not Lib. 13.206; 14.21, 27. received. In the Senate they were received with reluctance, and leave to print was refused. King of Alabama Lib. 14.38. termed them a proposition to dissolve the Union, and Lib. 14.21, 27. so did the General Assembly of Virginia in a counter memorial, which was promptly printed by the Senate. Lib. 14.42. John Quincy Adams, in conjunction with Giddings, Slade, Gates, Borden, and Hiland Hall, had, earlier in the year, issued an address to the people of the free States, Lib. 13.78. warning them that an attempt would be made at the next session of Congress to annex Texas. The real design and object of the South, they declared, is to add new weight to her end of the lever. . . . We hesitate not to say that annexation, effected by any act or proceeding of the Federal Government or any of its departments, would be identical with dissolution—a

. L. G. Lib. 14.81; cf. 17.14. precious paper, the Boston Morning Chronicle (a short-lived adjunct of the Emancipator), refused to pledge himself or the Liberty Party to any such course. As a politician who preferred the election of a Democratic President on an annexation platform to that of a Whig, Lib. 14.142. he argued that annexation would do nothing to perpetuate slavery. Whatever may be thought of this editor's perspicacity, his position was, morally, quite as defensible as that of Giddings, Slade, and the Adamses, or of Ante, pp. 93, 61. Channing, or again of the latter's Unitarian confrere, the Rev. Orville Dewey. This divine was at great pains to draw what Mr. Garrison termed a profligate distinction between Lib. 14.162. recognizing slavery as it already existed, and legalizing it anew by extension of the slave territory. Compare, in another denomination, this extract from a Phi Beta Kappa Address at Wesleyan College in 1850, by the Rev. D. D. Whedon: Nor may you marv

9. Meanwhile, a great mass convention on the same lines was held at Worcester, Mass., on June 28, under the Lib. 18.106. presidency of Samuel Hoar and leadership of Stephen C. Phillips and Charles Francis Adams, and with the assistance of Joshua R. Giddings; and in other parts of the State, as Mr. Garrison's letters have just shown, the agitation was carried on during the month of July. The Conscience Whigs of Massachusetts were in revolt Lib. 18.94, 98, 102. against the action of their partuestion, had vastly assisted their labors in moulding public sentiment. Their preeminent ally in that arena, John Quincy Adams, had, indeed, Feb. 23, 1848; Lib. 18.35, 40. been taken away by death; but his place had been more than made good by Giddings, Palfrey, and Hale, as could be measured by their action to rid the District of slavery Lib. 18.69, 73, 77, 119, 202, 206. and the slave-trade.

He is a universal idol. His project of lecturing on general topics would, in my opinion, have been a failure even had no disturbance intervened As at Springfield, Mass., at the instigation of the Republican on Feb. 17, 18 (Lib. 21: 31, 35, 41, 46, 49). In the House of Representatives, Joshua R. Giddings asked but was refused leave to introduce a resolution inquiring of the President whether a subject of the British crown, and also a member of Parliament, had been recently insulted in Springfield and his personal liberty endangered, in violation of treaty stipulations (Lib. 21: 34). to prevent it.

lly came to an end, as a national organization, in the year 1848 in which it was formed. There was little disposition to revive it in 1852, and to go through the form of a separate ticket which had not the ghost of a chance of succeeding. Both Giddings and Lib. 22.113.

, with equal pity and disgust, threats of disunion in the free States and similar threats in the slaveholding States. Well did Gerrit Smith write to Ms. July 18, 1854. Mr. Garrison: I have acquired no new hope of the peaceful termination of slavery by coming to Washington. I go home more discouraged than ever. Mr. Smith had been elected to Congress in the fall of 1852 (Lib. 22: 163, [182]). He was now going home for good, having resigned on account of his health. Giddings, Chase, J. R. Giddings. S. P.

Well did Lysander Spooner write to the editor Feb. 13, 1854; Lib. 24.30. of the Commonwealth, refusing to be a delegate to an Anti-Nebraska Bill Convention in Faneuil Hall: I trust you will allow me space to say, that I decline the Lib. 24.31. appointment; that I have never been a member of the Free Soil Party ; that I have never adopted its absurd and contradictory motto, Freedom National, Slavery S

my rights. Amasa Walker Lib. 27.14. saw clearly enough that slavery and freedom are absolute and irreconcilable antagonisms, that cannot by any human possibility co-exist, but his disunionism was confined to the non-extension of slavery. Joshua R. Giddings wrote that the South had notoriously for thirty years cherished the hope of forming a Confederacy: Editors and politicians now announce their determination to secede from the Union as soon as the Republicans shall obtain control of the g magazines of powder and military supplies, strengthening their defences, organizing and disciplining their militia, and forming associations and combinations to effect a separation from our free States.
