with the old organization who might else have remained either indifferent or deceived. See Collins's letter to E. Quincy, Mar. 2, 1841 (Ms.). The attempt of the Executive Committee of the Glasgow Emancipation Society, under the influence of Captain Stuart, to follow suit in rebuffing Collins and disavowing the old organization, led to a division and reconstitution by which that important body was saved to the cause in America, at the cost of the resignation of a few members like Dr. Wardlaw (Ltool of his false friends; but there were many anonymous communications aimed at Mr. Garrison and the Board.

l Political Abolitionists and met in convention at Syracuse June 27, 28, took up a collection in response to an appeal from a Mr. John Brown, who had five sons in Kansas, and who Lib. 25.107. was desirous to join them. They had written for arms and means of defence, and declared in their letters that fighting suasion was the most important institution in the new Territory. See John Brown's own account of the Convention in Sanborn's Life of him, pp. 193, 194. Among the donors was Capt. Charles Stuart—a clear case of British Gold. In November, another homicide led to the siege of Lib. 25.195, 198, 199, 203. Lawrence by the Border-Ruffian army under Atchison and Stringfellow, and the so-called Wakarusa war. Lib. 25.203; 26.2.

Eglinton tournament. More than two hundred pamphlets rattled on the head of Conde alone, and the collection of Mazarinades, preserved by the Cardinal himself, fills sixty-nine volumes in quarto. From every field the first crop was glory, the second a bon-mot. When the dagger of De Retz fell from his breast-pocket, it was our good archbishop's breviary ; and when his famous Corinthian troop was defeated in battle, it was the First Epistle to the Corinthians. While, across the Channel, Charles Stuart was listening to his doom, Paris was gay in the midst of dangers, Madame de Longueville was receiving her gallants in mimic court at the Hotel de Ville, De Retz was wearing his sword-belt over his archbishop's gown, the little hunchback Conti was generalissimo, and the starving people were pillaging Mazarin's library, in joke, to find something to gnaw upon. Outside the walls, the maids-of-honor were quarrelling over the straw beds which annihilated all the romance of martyrdom, and Con

Portuguese phrase perhaps circuitously expresses it, go to walk on horseback on a donkey,--dar um passeio a cavalho n'um burro. The beggars, indeed, are numerous; but one's expenditures are always happily limited by the great scarcity of small change. A half-cent, however, will buy you blessings enough for a lifetime, and you can find an investment in almost any direction. You visit some church or cemetery; you ask a question or two of a lounger hi a black cloak, with an air like an exiled Stuart, and, as you part, he detains you, saying, Sir, will you give me some little thing (alguma cousinha),--I am so poor? Overwhelmed with a sense of personal humility, you pull out three half-cents and present them with a touch of your hat; he receives them with the same, and you go home with a feeling that a distinguished honor has been done you. The Spaniards say that the Portuguese are mean even in their begging : they certainly make their benefactors mean; and I can remember to have returne

War have not yet wholly vanished from the stage; the rear guard of the Grand Army, we linger. Today is separated from the death of Lincoln by the same number of years only which separated The Glorious Revolution of 1688 from the execution of Charles Stuart; yet to us is already given to look back on the events of which we were a part with the same perspective effects with which the Victorian Englishman looks back on the men and events of the commonwealth. I propose on this occasion to do so;ee lent himself. Right is right, and treason is treason—and, as that which is morally wrong cannot be right, so treason cannot be other than a crime. Why then because of sentiment or sympathy or moral indifference seek to confound the two? Charles Stuart and Cromwell could not both have been right If Thomas was right, Lee was wrong. To this I would reply, that we, who take another view, neither confound, nor seek to confound, right with wrong, or treason with loyalty. We accept the verdi

, in consequence, received a good education. At the age of twenty-two, he married and removed to Wakefield parish, which has since been made classic ground by the pen of Goldsmith. Here, an honest, God-fearing farmer, he tilled his soil, and alternated between cattle-markets and Independent conventicles. In 1641, he obeyed the summons of my Lord Fairfax and the Parliament, and joined a troop of horse composed of sturdy Independents, doing such signal service against the man of Belial, Charles Stuart, that he was promoted to the rank of quartermaster, in which capacity he served under General Lambert, in his Scottish campaign. Disabled at length by sickness, he was honorably dismissed from the service, and returned to his family in 1649. For three or four years, he continued to attend the meetings of the Independents, as a zealous and devout member. But it so fell out, that in the winter of 1651, George Fox, who had just been released from a cruel imprisonment in Derby jail, fe
