eatly augmented them. Saturday night March 5. I slept with Knapp and Henry in the office, and had as Henry Benson. comfortable a time as such a berth could possibly give, be it more or less. Sabbath forenoon, Mr. May, Henry and myself went March 6. to hear Dr. Channing preach, This may have been the occasion of which Mrs. Chapman speaks (Ms. November, 1882): It was about this time [the mob time] that Mr. Garrison expressed to us a wish to hear Dr. Channing preach, and we invited him td the pressure of business do not allow people to think much on the subject! ( Memoir, 3.170). No wonder this letter was suppressed in the Centenary edition of the Memoir. Last evening, there was a circle gathered by special invitation at Sunday, March 6. Mr. Loring's house, among the number being Miss Martineau, Miss Jeffery, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, Mr. May, Messrs. Rantoul and Hillard, of the Legislature, Robert Rantoul, then a Democrat, and at the beginning of his honorable political ca

. of February 6. Mr. Garrison defended that Society against the pretence that it had changed for the worse so that an abolitionist could no longer remain in it; and the anti-slavery organization against the implication that it had abandoned the aims and methods which up to the time of the Utica mob had been reprobated by Mr. Smith. The letter of withdrawal was pronounced not ingenuous, and full of error, the proof and product of confusion of mind. So distinguished a convert, bringing a New Year's Lib. 6.22. gift of a thousand dollars, might, it seemed to many of the abolitionists, have been spared this inhospitable welcome to their ranks. Lewis Tappan wrote from New York to Mr. Garrison, February 25, 1836: Your Ms. remarks on Mr. G. Smith have given uneasiness, I learn, to some abolitionists, but they were well-timed. We ought to deal kindly with such a man as Mr. Smith, but until he confesses his faults he ought to be rebuked publicly. The sequel showed that a magnanimous mi

Before this committee, on the 4th of March, 1836, the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was, on its own request, granted a hearing, less in self-exculpation than in order to defeat the Southern and pro-Southern design on a common right.

Henry and friend Knapp, whom I found to be in good Henry Benson. Yesterday afternoon, we went up to the State House to Friday, March 4, 1836. present ourselves and our cause before the august committee, &c.

of the Philanthropist (ante, p. 77): I feel myself attracted to the friends of humanity and freedom, however distant; and when such are exposed by their principles to peril and loss, and stand firm in the evil day, I take pleasure in expressing to them my sympathy and admiration (Lib. 7.1). But neither after the Boston mob, nor at any other time, so far as is known, did Dr. Channing so much as address a line to Mr. Garrison. Abolition is still the exciting topic, he wrote from Newport on Oct. 27, 1835—the editor of the Liberator having gone to jail on Oct. 21. The mobs still interfere with the anti-slavery meetings, and the South alarms many at the North by threatening us with separation. Happily, the great prosperity of the country and the pressure of business do not allow people to think much on the subject! ( Memoir, 3.170). No wonder this letter was suppressed in the Centenary edition of the Memoir. Last evening, there was a circle gathered by special invitation at Sunday, Mar

ks on Mr. G. Smith have given uneasiness, I learn, to some abolitionists, but they were well-timed. We ought to deal kindly with such a man as Mr. Smith, but until he confesses his faults he ought to be rebuked publicly. The sequel showed that a magnanimous mind like Gerrit Smith's could well endure his critic's inflexible application of principles. The wounds made left no scar, as should ever be the effect of friendly shafts that only pierce for healing. In a letter to Liberator, dated June 24, urging Mr. Garrison, as Lib. 6.106. against Judge Jay, to make abstinence from slaveproducts a personal practice and a part of the antislavery creed, Mr. Smith said: I acknowledge with pleasure that I am more indebted to your writings than to those of any other man for my abhorrence of slavery. Nor is the pupil in this case any the less grateful because the master has occasionally boxed his ears. They had meantime met, for the first time, in May, at the anniversary meeting in New York,

d the vote in the Senate. His predecessor, Harrison Gray Otis, was no longer heard from. In 1820 the latter had said in the same body that he should strenuously and forever oppose the extension of slavery, and all measures which should subject a freeman, of whatever color, to the degradation of a slave; . . . which should divest him of his property and rights, and interdict him from even passing into a country of which he was a legitimate co-proprietor with himself (Columbian Centinel, Jan. 24, 1821). Mayor Lyman had also opposed the Missouri Compromise in a 4th of July oration in 1820, and in 1821 had, as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, reported against a proposed law to check the immigration of pauper blacks. He, too, was now satisfied with the Compact, as was John Quincy Adams, so far as concerned the bare admission of Arkansas as a slave State (Benton's Thirty years view, 1.636).

Charleston Mercury. Anticipating the adjournment of the legislatures of the Northern States without adopting any measures effectually to put down Garrison, Tappan and their associates, the article appointed a convention of the slaveholding States to assume towards the North the relation of open enemies (Benton's Thirty years view, 1: 610). Mass. Senate Doc. No. 56, 1836. from Alabama, from Georgia, from Virginia. But the result was not encouraging. Mr. Garrison, writing from Newport, June 22, 1836, of the abandonment of the attempt to pass in the Rhode Island Legislature Lib. 6.73. resolutions advising punishment of the abolition conspirators, reviewed the situation at that date: A gentleman from Dover informs me, that the committee Lib. 6.107. appointed by the New Hampshire Legislature to consider and report upon the pro-slavery documents from the South, have not been able to agree, and the whole subject has been postponed to the next session, which is tantamount to an ind
