ngleaders to trial, or proclaim his sense of the disgrace that had befallen the city. For instance, we do not find him calling a second Faneuil Hall meeting, as in August of the previous year, on occasion of the sacking of the Ursuline Convent (ante, 1: 448), to pledge the pro-Southern [Protestant] citizens of Boston, collectively and individually, to unite with their anti-slavery [Catholic] brethren in protecting their persons, their property, and their civil and religious rights, with H. G. Otis for chief speaker to the resolutions (see Niles' Register, 46.438). His subsequent inaction, in short, naturally extinguished what dubious claim he had on Mr. Garrison's gratitude; and the more the editor of the Liberator reflected upon the Mayor's behavior, the graver seemed that officer's responsibility for an outbreak in which the personal adventure was inconsiderable in comparison with the public rights that were trodden under foot.

On the one hand, Richard Fletcher, then the colleague of Sprague and Otis, now offered to bear one-third of the cost of reestablishing the Lib. 7.191. Alton Observer. On the other hand, the respectable daily, the Advertiser, true to its traditions and its class, Lib. 7.198. justified the authorities in their refusal owhen I heard the gentleman lay down principles which Lib. 7.202. place the rioters, incendiaries, and murderers of Mt.
