anized by appointing a chairman and enrolling six hundred members. A constitution was adopted for a State Society, Lib. 5.174, 175, 181, 190; May's Recollections, p. 162. when, being assailed by a mob, according to a previous understanding adjourned to Peterborough. To Gerrit Smith's home, on his invitation. There an additional number of four hundred appeared and took their seats, making one thousand in all—the largest convention ever assembled in that State for any purpose whatever. Judge Jay was elected President. . . . Gerrit Smith made a speech of one hour and a half; said he had been the greatest obstacle in the way of abolition in that State, but that he was now thoroughly convinced and with them in the most odious features of their measures. Samuel E. Sewall to W. L. Garrison. Boston, October 27, 1835. Ms. I received your letter yesterday morning. I have very little time which I can well spare to answer it.

ome abolitionists, but they were well-timed. We ought to deal kindly with such a man as Mr. Smith, but until he confesses his faults he ought to be rebuked publicly. The sequel showed that a magnanimous mind like Gerrit Smith's could well endure his critic's inflexible application of principles. The wounds made left no scar, as should ever be the effect of friendly shafts that only pierce for healing. In a letter to Liberator, dated June 24, urging Mr. Garrison, as Lib. 6.106. against Judge Jay, to make abstinence from slaveproducts a personal practice and a part of the antislavery creed, Mr. Smith said: I acknowledge with pleasure that I am more indebted to your writings than to those of any other man for my abhorrence of slavery. Nor is the pupil in this case any the less grateful because the master has occasionally boxed his ears. They had meantime met, for the first time, in May, at the anniversary meeting in New York, and Mr. Garrison writes: On personal acquaintance, I am

of the American Anti-Slavery Society, nor did he take any conspicuous part in the debates. He was named one of a committee to prepare Lib. 8.78. a declaration concerning the common error that the antislavery enterprise was of a political, and not of a religious character. To his wife he writes from the metropolis on Monday, May 7, 1838: The debates in our meetings have been quite spirited on Ms. several topics. Alvan Stewart came pretty near carrying his point, in opposition to Judge Jay, respecting an amendment of Lib. 8.77. our Constitution. Namely, to strike out the clause of the 2d article which admits that each State in which slavery exists has, by the Constitution of the United States, the exclusive right to legislate in regard to its abolition in said State.

The address closed with an appeal for an overwhelming attendance at the May meeting in New York. This manifesto, and especially the charge of ambition and self-seeking (though these were early recognized as a probable danger to political abolitionism by Wright, Lib. 10.35, 43. Goodell, and William Jay), were feelingly retorted by Leavitt in the Emancipator, by Goodell in the Friend of Lib. 10.47, 49, 51, 57, 65.
