d of liberty, excites no interest nor pity. If these damning facts are remembered sixty years after their occurrence to the shame of the trustees of the two churches, viz., the Presbyterian Church on Harris street and the Second Congregational Church, it is also remembered to the honor of the two pastors, Rev. Dr. Daniel Dana, and the Rev. Dr. Luther F. Dimmick, that they had thrown open to the prophet the doors of their meeting-houses, which the trustees afterward slammed in his face. In Boston the same hard luck followed him. In all that city of Christian churches he could not obtain the use of a single meeting-house, in which to vindicate the rights of two millions of American citizens, who are now groaning in servile chains in this boasted land of liberty; and also to propose just, benevolent, and constitutional measures for their relief. So ran an advertisement in the Boston Courier of the sorely tried soul. For two weeks he had gone up and down the town in search of a roo

lectures on Slavery and Colonization. What better could he now do than to deliver those lectures at the North? If the good people and their religious leaders knew what he knew, they would presently feel as he did on the question. He was loath to leave Baltimore without giving this testimony against slavery. But unable to procure a room for this purpose was finally compelled to content himself with the witness he had already borne in the Genius and in prison in behalf of the slave. In Philadelphia he well-nigh failed to obtain a hall for his lectures, but did finally succeed in getting the Franklin Institute, where, to small audiences, he lifted up his voice against the iniquity of the times. He repeated his lectures in New York, New Haven, and Hartford. But not many came out to hear him. The nation, its churches, and politicians had thrust their fingers in their ears to every cry coming up from the slave. Why should they go to sup with a madman on horrors, with which as patri
ersons to affect fastidiousness on that point; for they seem to be enamored with amalgamation, Garrison's pen was particularly busy during the term of his imprisonment. He paid his respects to the State's Attorney who prosecuted him, to the judge who condemned him, and to Francis Todd, the owner of the ship Francis. He prepared and scattered broadcast a true account of his trial, showing how the liberty of the press had been violated in the case. He did not doubt that it would astonish Europe if it were known there that an American citizen lies incarcerated in prison, for having denounced slavery and its abettors in his own country. The fact created no little astonishment in America. Slavery became distinctly connected for the first time with abridgments of the freedom of the press, and the right of free speech. And the cause of the slave became involved with the Constitutional liberties of the republic. In punishing Garrison, the Abolitionist, the rights of Garrison the whit

tion is absurd, and at war with the common sense of mankind, and that God and good men regard it with abhorrence. I recollect that it was always a mystery in Newburyport how Mr. Todd contrived to make profitable voyages to New Orleans and other places, when other merchants, with as fair an opportunity to make money, and sending othing with communities, which had eyes. but obstinately refused to see with them upon any subject relating to the abominations of slavery. In his own town of Newburyport, officers of Christian churches not only refused to hear his message themselves, but debarred others from listening to the woes and wrongs of fellow-creatures in bondage. As Mr. Garrison truly said at the time: If I had visited Newburyport to plead the cause of twenty white men in chains, every hall and every meeting-house would have been thrown open, and the fervor of my discourses anticipated and exceeded by my fellow-townsmen. The fact that two millions of colored beings are groaning

ome time in August, 1829, Garrison landed in Baltimore, and began with Lundy the editorship of The day, and some time before nis departure for Baltimore, he began to think on this subject. The morand was one of the slave-breeding States and Baltimore a slave emporium. There was enacted the whos. But this was not all. The Grand Jury for Baltimore indicted them for publishing a gross and malpaid and just forty-nine days after entering Baltimore jail a prisoner, Garrison recovered his freeas not all of this deplorable kind. He left Baltimore without the money required to pay his way Noown touching way. His face was turned toward Baltimore: But how was I to return? he asks. I had neness of the Genius. Garrison returned to Baltimore, but he did not tarry long in that slave-rulictory gave him. Before the reformer left Baltimore he had definitely abandoned the plans lookin did on the question.

suggested to the young radical: Thee may put thy initials to thy articles and I will put my initials to mine, and each will bear his own burden. And the arrangement pleased the young radical, for it enabled him to free his soul of the necessity which was then sitting heavily upon it. The precise state of his mind in respect of the question at this juncture in its history and in his own is made plain enough in his salutatory address in The Genius of Universal Emancipation. The vow made in Bennington ten months before to devote his life to philanthrophy, and the dedication of himself made six months afterward to the extirpation of American slavery, he solemnly renews and reseals in Baltimore. He does not hate intemperance and warless, but slavery more, and those, therefore, he formally relegates thenceforth to a place of secondary importance in the endeavors of the future. It is obvious that the colonization scheme has no strong hold upon his intelligence. He does not conceal his re

d magnify thy name. Is it supposed by Judge Brice, the guiltless prisoner wrote from his cell, that his frowns can intimidate me, or his sentence stifle my voice on the subject of African oppression? He does not know me. So long as a good Providence gives me strength and intellect, I will not cease to declare that the existence of slavery in this country is a foul reproach to the American name; nor will I hesitate to proclaim the guilt of kidnappers, slave abettors, or slaveowners, wheresonclosing a draft for $ioo from a stranger and as a remuneration for my poor inefficient services in behalf of the slaves! The munificent stranger was Ebenezer Dole, of Hallowell, Maine. Money thus acquired was a sacred trust to this child of Providence. After deducting the expenses of traveling, he goes on to say, the remainder of the above-named sum was applied in discharging a few of the debts incurred by the unproductiveness of the Genius.

ou not long since thirty-nine lashes under the apple-tree? Another time when I gave you a sound flogging in the barn? Another time when you was scourged for giving me the lie, by saying that the horse was in a good condition? Yes, replied the slave, whose memory was thus quickened, I do recollect. You have beaten me cruelly without cause; you have not given me enough to eat and drink; and I don't want to go back again. I wish you to sell me to another master. I had rather even go to Georgia than to return home! I'll let you know, you villain, said the master, that my wishes and not yours, are to be consulted. I'll learn you how to run away again. The other men advised him to take the black home, and cut him up in inch pieces for his impudence, obstinacy, and desertion-swearing tremendously all the while. The slave was ordered back to his cell. Then ensued the following colloquy between Garrison and the master: G.-Sir, what right have you to that poor creature?

I detest, but a black heart-and I find it very often under a white skin. M. (derisively)-Well, sir, how should you like to see a black man President of the United States? G.

If the people prefer a black President, I should cheerfully shat an American citizen lies incarcerated in prison, for having denounced slavery and its abettors in his own country. The fact created no little astonishment in America. Slavery became distinctly connected for the first time with abridgments of the freedom of the press, and the right of free speech. And the cause of the slave bonism wholly unlike the Abolitionism of any previous time in the history of the country. It did in fact date the opening of a new era in the slavery struggle in America.

My friends were prodigal of pity, but of nothing else. In the extremity of my uneasiness, I went to the Boston post-office, and found a letter from my friend Lundy, inclosing a draft for $ioo from a stranger and as a remuneration for my poor inefficient services in behalf of the slaves!
