Ellis Gray Loring Mr. Loring was born in Boston, in 1803, the only son of a mother widowed shortly after Mr. Loring was born in Boston, in 1803, the only son of a mother widowed shortly after his birth. At the Latin School, where he was distinguished for scholarship, he had a friend and companion in R. W. Emerson. A gentle and delicate boy, he greatly endeared himself to his classmates aLib.

Sewall and Loring), which, for the first time in the history of this country, applied the common s, submission, and nonresistance which we have so frequently inculcated. Ellis Gray Loring was to follow me, proving that we had done nothing, and proposed to do nohority to legislate upon the subject of abolition. Mr. Sewall was to succeed Mr. Loring, and show that not only had we not violated the Constitution, but that we hadittee, who, with one exception, behaved in an insolent and arbitrary manner. Mr. Loring then spoke for about fifteen or twenty minutes in a very admirable manner. Mening, there was a circle gathered by special invitation at Sunday, March 6.

ut, as a test of the character and feelings of the audience, I will merely state that when Ellis Gray Loring, in the course of his speech, bestowed a strong panegyric upon my name, Mr. Loring had Mr. Loring had summarized the anti-slavery career of Clarkson, and then proceeded: Posterity looks upon such men and deeds in a vastly different light from contemporaries. Five or six years ago, a poor and solitaryary of the Mass. A. S. Society, and of other leading Boston abolitionists (e. g., Mr. Sewall, Mr. Loring, Mr. Jackson, etc.), had been an unconcealed pretext for the hostility of the Orthodox hierarclawyer of Boston, invited by a committee consisting of Francis Jackson, Edmund Quincy, and Ellis Gray Loring, to speak at the Lovejoy indignation meeting about to be held in the same hall, responded:ress, and never more so than in putting him forward to inaugurate the Faneuil Hall protest—Ellis Gray Loring, he offered to the Liberator for Lib. 7.206, and pamphlet. publication.

widely departs from the original and fundamental principles of the anti-slavery enterprise. The meeting scarcely needed the speeches of Wendell Phillips and Ellis Gray Loring to put its seal of condemnation on the four conspirators, whose every shift was baffled, until, by an almost unanimous vote, the resolutions were indefinitelaccordance with the genius and scope of the anti-slavery enterprise. Mr. Garrison declined to take an active part in the business of such a convention, Ellis Gray Loring led the effective opposition to the third-party sentiment. (See George Bradburn's lively account in Lib. 9.138.) Orange Scott made furious thrusts, accompan with friend Knapp. The committee of reference awarded him $175—being $125 less than was proposed to him in the conference of friends at Loring's office.

ion, so long as it occupies its present position. Mr. Garrison further offered resolutions expressing Lib. 10.82. dissatisfaction with the reasons given by the Executive Committee, in their annual report, for the sale and transfer of the Emancipator, inasmuch as the assets of the Society much exceeded its liabilities. The New York City Anti-Slavery Society was held morally bound to restore the paper, on being properly indemnified for expenses incurred; and a committee, consisting of E. G. Loring, N. P. Rogers, J. S. Gibbons, Nathan Winslow, and Thomas Earle, was appointed to negotiate for that end. The terms demanded being too onerous, there was nothing left for the American Society but to resolve, on Lib. 10.82. motion of Mr. Loring, to establish a new organ. One other resolution, or series of resolutions, offered by David Lee Child on behalf of the business committee, still calls for notice: Resolved, That the American Anti-Slavery Society regard Lib. 10.82. with hea

w it, felt the momentous character of the issue, and consented to stand in the gap. Those were trial hours. I never think of them without my shame for my native city being swallowed up in gratitude to those who stood so bravely for the right. Let us not consent to be ashamed of the Boston of 1835. Those howling wolves in the streets were not Boston. These brave men and women were Boston. We will remember no other. I never open the statute-book of Massachusetts with out thanking Ellis Gray Loring and Samuel J. May. Charles Follen and Samuel E. Sewall, and those around me who stood with them, for preventing Edward Everett from blackening it with a law making free speech an indictable offence. And we owe it to fifty or sixty women, and a dozen or two of men, that free speech was saved, in 1835, in the city of Boston. Indeed, we owe it mainly to one man. If there is one here who loves Boston, who loves her honor, who rejoices to know that, however fine the thread, there is a t

To Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring. New York, August 15, 1835. I am at Brooklyn, at the house of a very hospitable Englishman, a friend of Mr. Thompson's. I have not ventured into the city, nor does one of us dare to go to church to-day, so great is the excitement here. You can form no conception of it. 'Tis like the times of the French Revolution, when no man dared trust his neighbors. Private assassins from New Orleans are lurking at the corners of the streets, to stab Arthur Tappan; and very large sums are offered for any one who will convey Mr. Thompson into the Slave States. I tremble for him, and love him in proportion to my fears. He is almost a close prisoner in his chamber, his friends deeming him in imminent peril the moment it is ascertained where he is. We have managed with some adroitness to get along in safety so far; but I have faith that God will protect him, even to the end. Yet why do I make this boast? My faith has at times been so weak that I have started and tremb

To Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring. Northampton [Mass.], June 9, 1838. A month elapsed after I came here before I stepped into the woods which were all around me blooming with wild flowers. I did not go to Mr. Dwight's ordination, nor have I yet been to meeting. He has been to see me, however, and though I left my work in the midst, and sat down with a dirty gown and hands somewhat grimmed, we were high up in the blue in fifteen minutes. I promised to take a flight with him from the wash-tub or dish-kettle any time when he would come along with his balloon. ... C. is coming down next week, and I think I shall send a line to some of you by her. Her religious furor is great, just at this time, but of her theological knowledge you can judge when I tell you that when I spoke of old John Calvin, she asked me if he was the same as John the Baptist. ... I don't suppose any present was quite so satisfactory as the pretty green watering pot. Father said I was out with it in the rain as wel

To Mr. Ellis Gray Loring. New York, May 27, 1841. Dearest friend,--Blessings on you for your cheering letter. I trust it expresses the general anti-slavery sentiment. I am afraid many will think me not gritty enough. The editing is much more irksome than I supposed. The type is fine, and that large sheet swallows an incredible amount of matter. The cry still is, as C. says, More! More! An anti-slavery editor is a sort of black sheep among the fraternity, and I have no courtesies from booksellers. ---assists me by getting books out of club libraries, etc.; but still my range for extracts is very limited. The first familiar face I met here was Mr. B- . He is preaching New Church doctrines with great effect. Is it not strange that I can neither get in nor out of the New Church? Let me go where I will, it keeps an outward hold upon me, more or less weak on one side, while reforms grapple me closely on the other. I feel that they are opposite, nay, discordant. My affection
