Archibald H. Grimke, William Lloyd Garrison the Abolitionist, Chapter 10: between the acts. (search)
thers may rest after a labor, may have done one, two, or three distinct tasks, but between Garrison's acts there is no hiatus, each follows each, and is joined to all like links in a chain. He never closed his eyes, nor folded his arms, but went forward from work to work with the consecutiveness of a law of nature. But amid labors so strenuous and uninterrupted the leader found opportunity to woo and win a fair ladye. She was a daughter of a veteran Abolitionist, George Benson, of Brooklyn, Conn., who with his sons George W. and Henry E. Benson, were among the stanchest of the reformer's followers and supporters. The young wife, before her marriage, was not less devoted to the cause than they. She was in closest sympathy with her husband's anti-slavery interests and purposes. Never had husband found wife better fitted to his needs, and the needs of his life work. So that it might be truly said that Garrison even when he went a-wooing forgot not his cause and that when he too

in the air, they thrilled long afterward in the blood of the people. When the multitude dispersed Mischief went out into the streets of the city with them. Wherever afterward they gathered Mischief made one in their midst. Mischief was let loose, Mischief was afoot in the town. The old town was no place for the foreign emissary, neither was it a safe place for the arch-agitator. On the day after the meeting, Garrison and his young wife accordingly retreated to her father's home at Brooklyn, Conn., where the husband needed not to be jostling elbows with Mistress Mischief, and her als. Garrison's answer to the speeches of Otis and Sprague was in his sternest vein. He is sure after reading them that, there is more guilt attaching to the people of the free States from the continuance of slavery, than those in the slave States. At least he is ready to affirm upon the authority of Orator Sprague, that New England is as really a slaveholding section of the republic as Georgia or S

hs the editor of the Liberator was exiled from the city of his adoption, and driven from a home which would be his no more. The sequel will appear in the following extracts from private letters: George Benson to George W. Benson. Brooklyn, Conn., October 23, 1835. Ms. This day we unexpectedly but cheerfully welcomed the arrival of dear Helen and her husband. I thought Boston was the last place that would suffer a riotous mob to annihilate law, and I ardently hope that a reactior and his family, with whom I am a little acquainted. I pray that heaven may ever protect and guide you in all the difficulties to which your devoted services in the cause of humanity may expose you. W. L. Garrison to Isaac Knapp. Brooklyn, Conn., October 28, 1835. Ms. My dear partner in the Joys and honors of persecution: Wednesday morning. I wrote a few hasty lines to you by yesterday's mail, stating that no intelligence had reached me from Boston since my departure. Last eve

Chapter 2: Germs of contention among brethren.—1836. Ill health cripples Garrison's activity during this year, which he spends mostly at Brooklyn, Conn. He joins the Massachusetts remonstrants against legislative suppression of the abolitionists, at the State House, and attends the conference of the seventy Agents in New Yokinridge. During this momentous year Mr. Garrison was less conspicuous than in any since the founding of the Liberator. The first nine months were spent in Brooklyn, Conn.; for, on the eve of his wife's confinement (in February), it would have been impracticable to begin housekeeping afresh in Boston, and after that event many r, prior to their dispersion in apostolic service, seemed a proper one for Mr. Garrison's presence and counsel: W. L. Garrison to Henry E. Benson, at Brooklyn, Conn. Boston, December 3, 1836. Ms. My wife, I suppose, has written Anna an account of our trip Anna Benson.

In New York alone the Appeal found an echo or excited apprehension. Upon his removal from Brooklyn (Conn.) to Boston, Mr. Garrison wrote to his brother-in-law: I have seen a good many of our best abolition friends since Ms. to G. W. Benson, Aug. 26, 1837. my return, and have received a very cordial greeting from them all. The Fitch party would be less than nothing, were it not for the co-operation of our enemies with it. Bro.
