Rantoul of Gloucester, Mr. Foster of Brimfield, Mr. Hillard of Boston, Mr. Longley of Festus Foster. Thomas Longley. Joshua H. Ward. Gilbert H. Durfee. [Hawley], all spoke in favor of our rights; also, Mr. Ward of Danvers, and Mr. Durfee of Fall River. Mr. Durfee said he was proud to acknowledge himself as one of the proscribed abolitionists, and he thanked God that he stood where he could vindicate his own rights and the rights of others. A motion was now made to lay our memorial upon the onsideration the increasing desecration of the Sabbath day. The subject was one to which Mr. Garrison was fully alive. A few days before composing his editorial article, he had written as follows to his wife from Providence, while en route to Fall River: To deliver a 4th of July address. On the night of the 3d (Sunday) an effigy of straw was attached to a post on the Main Street, with a placard marked Garrison the Abolitionist: a fit subject for the gallows (Lib. 6.111). As a specimen

Yet I have no country! As a New Englander, and as an abolitionist, I am excluded by a bloody proscription from one-half of the national territory; and so is every man who is known to regard slavery with abhorrence. Where is our Union? . . . The right of free and safe locomotion from one part of the land to the other is denied to us, except on peril of our lives! . . . Therefore it is, I assert, that the Union is now virtually dissolved. . . . Look at McDuffie's sanguinary message! Read Calhoun's Report to the U. S. Senate, authorizing every postmaster in the South to plunder the mail of such Northern letters or newspapers as he may choose to think incendiary! Sir, the alternative presented to the people of New England is this—they must either submit to be gagged and fettered by Southern taskmasters, or labor unceasingly for the removal of slavery from our country. . . . In Massachusetts, a colored citizen stands on the same equality with the Governor of the State. He is enti

he legislative movements directed against the right of free speech; to keep up the bombardment of Congress with petitions for emancipation in the District; to vindicate in the courts the right of slaves brought North to their liberty, and of fugitives to the ordinary safeguards of freemen on trial; and to oppose, on the one hand the admission of Arkansas as a slave State into the Union, on the other, the inevitable bent of the Government towards aiding Texas in her pro-slavery revolt against Mexico, with a view to ultimate annexation. A counter-stroke in Massachusetts to the Southern documents was the petition to the Legislature to Lib. 6.55, 68. remonstrate against the treatment of the State's colored seamen and other citizens in Southern ports and cities, not forgetting the still outstanding reward offered by Georgia for the apprehension of the editor of the Liberator.

Child looks in remarkably good health, and made some remarks at the ladies' meeting on Wednesday last, which manifested that she was as vigorous in spirit as in body. Her husband is at present out of the city, but will return in a few days. They are, I am sorry to say, going with Friend Lundy to Matamoras, near Texas, in all next month. What a hazardous project! This trip was abandoned by both parties. In August, Lundy began in Philadelphia a new weekly, the National Enquirer, and resumed the monthly publication of his Genius ( Life, p. 289; Lib. 6.131). But to return to the meeting: as we are disappointed in getting a meeting-house or hall in which to hold the N. E. Convention, except our own little hall at 46, we discussed the expediency of having the Convention held either in Pr

The Presbyterian General Assembly at Pittsburgh found it inexpedient to express any opinion Lib. 6.99. upon slavery, regarding it as a purely political institution; yet, for failing to call it divine, nearlyoque retort—Our laboring class is better off than yours; and distinctly took ground against immediate emancipation. As later before a Colonization meeting at Pittsburgh (Lib. 6.118). Mr. Garrison dismissed it curtly, having yielded the floor to a correspondent on the spot; but, in spite of his physical indisposition to write atfrom Brooklyn, July 19, 1836, you may now say that I am somewhat better. I send Lib. 6.118. you some strictures upon a speech recently made by Dr. Beecher, at Pittsburgh, respecting the Sabbath. If they are not so vigorous as they might be, ascribe the deficiency to my bodily debility. Four columns of fine print followed this

a hearing again, but will probably do so in the course of a few days. Whether I shall address them again will depend upon my feelings and circumstances. Mr. Goodell leaves the city to-morrow morning. He has drawn up for us a very able Memorial, to be presented to the Legislature. The Sonnets in question were those addressed to an infant A son named for George Thompson, who quickly returned the compliment in April, when Mrs. Thompson presented him with a son. The editor of the Norwich (Conn.) Aurora chronicled the former naming, and advised Mr. Garrison to call his next boy Benedict Arnold (Ms. April 10, 1836). born on Saturday last, February 13th, 1836, by the Editor, and printed in the Liberator of February 20. They here follow: I. Heaven's long-desired gift! my first-born child! Lib. 6.31; Writings of W. L. G., p. 261. Pledge of the purest love! my darling son!

o their willingness to try what they could do. Governor Marcy, of New York, refused his assent to the constitutional gloss Lib. 6.13. by which Governor Gayle, of Alabama, made requisition for Ransom G. Williams, publishing agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society at New York, under an act of Congress concerning fugitives from juon of the slaveholding States to assume towards the North the relation of open enemies (Benton's Thirty years view, 1: 610).

Marcy's Lib. 6.17, 13. message, and also the correspondence between him and Gov. Gayle, of Alabama, respecting Williams—especially the latter.

worth more than a thousand dollars to our cause. George Blake, of Boston, (though opposed to the abolitionists), said that our fundamental principles were incontrovertible; that slavery could not long continue in our land; that it stood on the same level with the Genthoo sacrifices; and that he did not believe a man, or any body of men, could be found in that assembly, who would dare to propose any law, or any resolutions, censuring the antislavery society, or any other. Mr. Rantoul of Gloucester, Mr. Foster of Brimfield, Mr. Hillard of Boston, Mr. Longley of Festus Foster. Thomas Longley. Joshua H. Ward. Gilbert H. Durfee.

ready, at any moment, to crush the slaves and to co-operate with the masters. While such a city behaves so wickedly, I do think we ought to be more tender of the South —or, rather, we ought to be more impartial in our denunciations. Spare not your hypocritical and callous-hearted city, but at your meeting hold it up in all the infamy which attaches to its professions and conduct. Woe unto thee, Boston! for if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Charleston or Savannah, peradventure they had repented long ago. I hope bold and emphatic resolutions will be adopted, respecting the murderous proposition of the Nero McDuffie in his Ante, p. 62. message, and the equally despotic suggestions of the Domitian Ante, p. 75. Marcy; for every proper occasion should be seized upon to bear testimony against such dangerous documents. Strong resolutions should also be passed against the continuance of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and es
