Wendell Phillips, Theodore C. Pease, Speeches, Lectures and Letters of Wendell Phillips: Volume 2, Crispus Attucks (1858). (search)
e 5th of March, of whom Crispus Attucks was the leader,--they never have had their fair share of fame. Our friend Theodore Parker said the Revolution was not born so early. I think him wrong there; it was. Emerson said the first gun heard round ick the beam. I want to say another thing. I do not believe in the argument which my learned and eloquent friend Theodore Parker has stated in regard even to the courage of colored blood. It is a hazardous thing to dare to differ with so profound a scholar, with so careful a thinker as Theodore Parker; but I cannot accept his argument and for this reason,--he says the Caucasian race, each man of it, would kill twenty men and enslave twenty more rather than be a slave ;. and thence he deduous, we say, Well, he comes of a good stock; we remember his grandfather, he could do this thing or the other! When Theodore Parker came into the city of Boston, and made the boldest pulpit in the city, men said, It is all right. This is the blood

hen I look on such a scene as this, I go back to the precedent alluded to by you, sir, of him who travelled eighteen miles and worked all day to earn a book, and sat up all night to read it. By the side of me, in the same city of Boston, sat a boy in the Latin School, who bought his dictionary with money earned by picking chestnuts. Do you remember Cobbett,--and Frederick Douglas, whose eloquent notes still echo through the land, who learned to read from the posters on the highway; and Theodore Parker, who laid the foundation of his library with the book for which he spent three weeks in picking berries? Boys, you will not be moved to action by starvation and want. Where will you get the motive power? You will have the spur of ambition to be worthy of the fathers who have given you these opportunities. Remember, boys, what fame it is that you bear up,--this old name of Boston! A certain well-known poet says it is the hub of the universe. Well, this is a gentle and generous sa

d the duty of endeavoring to perpetuate this legacy of Theodore Parker. This pulpit,--there are two elements which distingmore sparkling talk and lively rattle than they have. Theodore Parker did not fill these walls because of his unmatched pulp politics, even with all they think truth. I remember Theodore Parker told me that once in a meeting of Unitarian clergymenssembly on the danger of not believing in the miracles. Mr. Parker saw that the lesson was intended for him, and after sayiowed. The priest refused to answer. He knew, continued Mr. Parker to me, that if he said he did not, he would show he had and agitation, which make the worth of the pulpit. Theodore Parker's life is funded in his books, his example, and this py Sunday, not out of mere love for the only child that Theodore Parker has left to our guardianship, but out of the broader me of church every other sect denies, that said of you, Theodore Parker did not leave a church, he only left a Fraternity.

e loud cries of crushed and starving labor. When common-sense and the common people have stereotyped a principle into a statute, then book-men come to explain how it was discovered and on what ground it rests. The world makes history, and scholars write it,--one half truly, and the other half as their prejudices blur and distort it. New England learned more of the principles of toleration from a lyceum committee doubting the dicta of editors and bishops when they forbade it to put Theodore Parker on its platform; more from a debate whether the Antislavery cause should be so far countenanced as to invite one of its advocates to lecture; from Sumner and Emerson, George William Curtis, and Edwin Whipple, refusing to speak unless a negro could buy his way into their halls as freely as any other,--New England has learned more from these lessons than she has or could have done from all the treatises on free printing from Milton and Roger Williams through Locke down to Stuart Mill.

ty opportunities of education in early life, he was thoroughly dowered by patient training, carefully gathered information, and most mature thought; he was in every sense a wise man, and wise men valued him. My friend Mr. Garrison has quoted Theodore Parker. All of you who knew Theodore Parker intimately will recollect that when he wished to illustrate cool courage, indomitable perseverance, sound sense, rare practical ability, utter disinterestedness, and spotless integrity, he named Francis Theodore Parker intimately will recollect that when he wished to illustrate cool courage, indomitable perseverance, sound sense, rare practical ability, utter disinterestedness, and spotless integrity, he named Francis Jackson; and when in moments of difficulty he needed such qualities in a stanch friend, he found them in Francis Jackson. Every character has some pervading quality, some key-note; our friend's, I think, was decision, serene self-reliance, and perseverance. He was the kind of man you involuntarily called to mind when men spoke of one on God's side being a majority. Such a one sufficed to outweigh masses, and outlive the opposition of long years. Francis Jackson's will did not seem a mere

As Coleridge avers, The truth-haters of to-morrow will give the right name to the truth-haters of to-day, for even such men the stream of time bears onward. I do not fear that if my words are remembered by the next generation they will be thought unsupported or extravagant. When history seeks the sources of New England character, when men begin to open up and examine the hidden springs and note the convulsions and the throes of American life within the last half century, they will remember Parker, that Jupiter of the pulpit; they will remember the long unheeded but measureless influence that came to us from the seclusion of Concord ; they will do justice to the masterly statesmanship which guided, during a part of his life, the efforts of Webster,--but they will recognize that there was only one man north of Mason and Dixon's line who met squarely, with an absolute logic, the else impregnable position of John C. Calhoun; only one brave, far-sighted, keen, logical intellect which disc
