While yet in his teens he wielded his pen in defence of the two latter when they were under fire and their politild March 14, and April 1 and 4, 1823. under the title of Our Next Governor, and warmly advocated the election of Harrison Gray Otis, as one who, in the numerous positions which he had already occupied, had conferred lasting honor on Massachusetts, being one of the brightest constellations in her political horizon. His final article was one of glowing panegyric of Otis, and impassioned appeal to his fellow-electors to rally to the polls. Upon you, then, fellow-electors, much is depending—theght, and cease not from the most strenuous exertions till you repose in the lap of victory!

Mayor Otis expressed his determination to warn sea-captains and others of the consequences of transporting incendiary writings into the Southern States.

esses, or private conversations, they never allude to the subject of slavery; for they do so frequently, or at least every Fourth of July. But my complaint is, that they content themselves with representing slavery as an evil,—a misfortune,—a calamity which has been entailed upon us by former generations, The present generation [at the South] are no more responsible for the existence of slavery than for swamps, pine barrens, or any other physical blemish of soil or local insalubrity (Harrison Gray Otis, in letter of Oct. 17, 1831, cited above, p. 242).— and not as an individual crime, embracing in its folds robbery, cruelty, oppression and piracy.
