The debates have ended, said Mr. Garrison, precisely as we have Lib. 2.19. expected—in a refusal to act upon any proposition for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, and in a Niles' Register, Jan. 14, 1832, pp. 368-9. recommendation to expel the free colored population from the South.

It was truly an afflicting period, and I felt as if I was about cutting off my right arm, or plucking out my right eye.
