reting and revering the Bible as consistently anti-Slavery, while refusing, with the former, to vote. 4. A large and steadily increasing class who, though decidedly anti-Slavery, refused either to withhold their votes, or to throw them away on candidates whose election was impossible, but persisted in voting, at nearly every election, so as to effect good and prevent evil to the extent of their power. An artful and persistent ignoring of all distinction between these classes, and thus covering Abolitionists indiscriminately with odium, as hostile to Christianity and to the Constitution, was long the most effective weapon in the armory of their common foes. Thousands, whose consciences and hearts would naturally have drawn them to the side of humanity and justice, were repelled by vociferous representations that to do so would identify them with the disunion of Wendell Phillips, the radicalism of Henry C.

Through his energy we obtained a mast to replace the one lost, and his whole time while we were there seemed devoted to us.
