o a weekly paper. William Swain, a very capable, intelligent, and philanthropic young man, one Life of Lundy, p. 25. of his North Carolina converts, became his assistant, and to him Lundy could intrust the paper while he made occasional journeys to hold meetings, obtain subscribers, and stimulate the formation of anti-slavery societies. It was not until 1828, however (a year after he had been brutally assaulted and almost killed in the streets of Ibid., pp. 206-209. Baltimore by Austin Woolfolk, a notorious slave-trader), that he made his way northward on one of these missions, beginning at Philadelphia, and holding there the first meeting ever held in this country for encouraging the use of free-labor products. In New York he became slightly acquainted with Arthur Tappan, a merchant Ibid., p. 25. already distinguished for his munificent philanthropy, and in Providence he met William Goodell, who was then Ibid., p. 25. publishing a paper called the Investigator.

Garrison thereupon retorted in this wise: An inquiry. G. U. E., Nov. 6, 1829, p. 70. I would inquire of Mr. Austin Woolfolk if it was decent or manly in him, last week, to multiply his curses and his threats to the senior editor of this paper, for the insertion of a paragraph which was written by another—by me? Has he forgotten his alphabet? The letters L. and G. attached to the bottom of

I am not familiar with your practices; but allow me to say, that slaveholders generally should be the last persons to affect fastidiousness on that point; for they seem to be enamoured with amalgamation. Thus ended the dialogue. . . . Austin Woolfolk had usually visited the jail almost daily, to pick up bargains for his Southern shipments; but during Garrison's incarceration he absented himself. The first task to which the imprisoned editor addressed himself was to prepare and have pron of every man who dares call himself free, or just, or humane. Surely, sir, you do not mean to justify or palliate the occasional transportation of slaves? If the whole system be abhorrent to humanity, can any part of it be venial? If Austin Woolfolk (a slave-exporter of devilish notoriety in Maryland) deserves the withering indignation of a virtuous community for carrying on the trade regularly, does not Francis Todd (or any other merchant) merit reprobation—in a less degree, certainly—
