The Southern colleagues of Mr. Adamn of the prisoners, or of their fellow-slaves, or to obtain indemnity from Great Britain, were futile, and the mutineers were ultimately discharged (Lib. 12: 42). Webster, as Secretary of State, conducted the diplomatic correspondence through Edward Everett at the court of St. James (Lib. 12: 34), prostituting his intellect in support of the Government's right to demand from the whole human race respect to the municipal law of Southern slavery—to use Channing's words in review of Webster, in his pamphlet on the Duty of the Free States (Lib. 12: 55, 57, 61, 65, 105). In the Senate, Calhoun led the furious Southern clamor for reparation or war (Lib. 11: 211;

ce (for the sake of Union) of the blacks, and to the guarantee of a slaveholding political supremacy. The deed having been done, a new Revolution was called for; You that prate of Disunion, do you not know that Disunion is Revolution? asks Mr. Webster. Yes, we do know it, and we are for a revolution—a revolution in the character of the American Constitution (Speech of Wendell Phillips at Faneuil Hall, Dec. 29, 1846. Lib. 17: 7). and the only wonder is, not that Mr. Garrison was the first tious purification of themselves before their Creator. But anti-slavery disunion is seldom weighed in its own scales. Critics who waive the sub-sacredness of the Constitutional obligations,—binding in honor and in justice, Lib. 14.45. to use Webster's words,—and tolerate the revolutionary view in order to expose its impracticability, deny that the agitation for peaceful separation could ever have attained its object. This prophecy—for it is nothing more—neglects altogether the role of t

Mr. Webster united in the Convention, and consulted with and assisted Stephen C. Phillips, Charles Allen, and Charles Francis Adams, in preparing the Address of the Conventd remarks which the daily press pronounced Lib. 15.23. treasonable. He recalled a similar convention on the admission of Missouri, whose protest was embodied by Webster in an address. That movement ended in words, words. Did they mean, asked Mr. Garrison, to act that farce over again? Charles Francis Adams objected to jeopardi the illusion that Lib. 15.170. the entrance of Texas into the Union would make slavery a national institution as never before, and expose it to attack as such. Webster, accusing the Liberty Party Lib. 15.182. (by its defeat of Clay) of having procured annexation, hoped, or professed to hope, the consummation might yet be averte

The Conscience Whigs of Massachusetts were in revolt Lib. 18.94, 98, 102. against the action of their party at Philadelphia on June 7, when the popular hero of the Mexican War, Gen. Zachary Taylor, a Louisiana slaveholder, was nominated for President, in disregard of the claims of Clay and of Webster. Of these standing candidates in petto Mr. Garrison declared in May (Lib. 18: 74): Nothing can be more fallacious than their expectations. To those who have asked us privately, for the last twelve months, who would in our opinion be the Presidential candidate of the Whig Party, our reply has been, unhesitatingly and emphatically—Zachary Taylor. Press nominations of Taylor began as far back as the date indicated (Lib. 17: 61). Before the Buffalo Convention assembled, Mr. Garrison be

All this, with much more, as we have said, belongs to the general historian of the cause. Our main concern must be an incident personal to the subject of this biography, while yet of national interest and importance. In July, the Rev.

Webster, too (like your Lord North), the infamous New Hampshire renegade, threatens to this country, he would be sent to Botany Bay (Lib. 21: 34. Cf. 21: 101). Webster gave the keynote of the Government prosecutions when, in his letter to the Uni Yes, it would indeed be seen, and not tardily. It had already appeared how Webster's fate was bound up with that of the class of men who not infrequently said . Constitution is born of hell—that it is the work of the devil. Lib. 21.93.

lorious Union it is that we are enjoying! How worthy of preservation! Alas! the Union is but another name for the iron reign of the Slave Power. We have no common country, as yet.

Was there no one to give the signal to Rynders to save the Union once more by mobbing the abolitionists away for another term of years? Could Mr. Garrison, unchecked, mention as signs of progress the blotting out of those pillars of the Slave Power, the Jerry rescue, the armed stand against the Fugitive Slave Law at Christiana, the success of Uncle Tom's Cabin? So it appeared. Douglass, too, was there, but where w

We said: If there were no moral barrier to our voting (but there is), and we had a million of votes to bestow, we should cast them all for Fremont, as against Buchanan and Fillmore—not because he is an abolitionist or a disunionist (for he is neither, any more than was Washington, Jefferson, Webster, Clay, or Jackson, occupying precisely their ground), but because he is for the non-extension of slavery, in common with the great body of the people of the North, whose attachment to the Union amounts to idolatry. Well, the Presidential struggle will terminate on Tuesday Nov. 4, 1856. next, with all its forgeries, tricks, shams, lies, and slanders. Laus Deo!
