Repression by popular violence—the reign of terror —continued unabated, in spite of its notorious effect in multiplying anti-slavery organizations upon the very heels of the mob. Typical cases were the town-meeting appointment of a vigilance committee to prevent Lib. 7.13. antislavery meetings in Canaan, N. H.; the arrest of the Rev. George Storrs, at Northfield, in the same State, in a friendly pulpit, at the close of a discourse on slavery, as Lib. 6.19, 63, 155. a common brawler, and his subsequent sentence by a justice of the peace to hard labor in the House of Correction for three months (not sustained on appeal); and the repeated destruction of Birney's Philanthropist Lib. 6.22, 25, 123, 139, 158; Reminiscences of Levi Coffin, Chap. 15. printing-office by the gentlemen of property and

He had watched for the second edition of the essay, and found a few more pages added, but no improvement on the score of consistency or fairness. It reiterated all the offensive allusions to and unmerited charges against the immediate emancipationists; it withdrew, but without apology, Right and Wrong, 1836, [2] p. 20; ante, p. 4. the endorsement of Kaufman's libel on George Thompson. Mr. Garrison summed up his objections under twenty-five heads, showing that the book is utterly destitute of any redeeming, reforming power—that it is calumnious, contradictory, and unsound—and that it ought not to be approbated by any genuine abolitionist. He that is not with us is against us. Compare this judgment, for severity, with John Quincy Adams's (from quite another point of view), in the following extract from his Diary under date of Jan. 8, 1836:

formerly. I am conscious that a mighty sectarian conspiracy is forming to crush me, and it will probably succeed, to some extent. Well—from the heart I can say, The Lord is my portion—I will not fear what men can do unto me. O, the rottenness of Christendom! Judaism and Romanism are the leading features of Protestantism. We [the Perfectionists] believe all the essential features of Judaism and of its successor, Popery, may be distinctly traced in nearly every form of Protestant (John Humphrey Noyes, in the first number of the Perfectionist, Aug. 20, 1834). I am forced to believe, that, as it respects the greater portion of professing Christians in this land, Christ has died in vain. In their traditions, their forms and ceremonies, their vain janglings, their self-righteousness, their will-worship, their sectarian zeal and devotion, their infallibility and exclusiveness, they are Pharisees and Sadducees, they are Papists and Jews. Blessed be God that I am not entangled with the

Well did Emerson write to Carlyle, October 7, 1835: We have had Emerson's Correspondence, 1.84. in different parts of the country mobs and moblike legislation, and even moblike judicature, which have betrayed an almost godless state of society. The churches Emerson's Correspondence, 1.84. in different parts of the country mobs and moblike legislation, and even moblike judicature, which have betrayed an almost godless state of society. The churches were deeply engrossed in putting down anti-slavery sentiment within and without—the Southern religious bodies with a common voice holding up Lib. 6.5, 93, 194. the abolitionists to public reprobation. A reputed vicegerent of the Almighty, Alexander Campbell, founder of the Christian sect, proclaimed the divine right of Lib. 6.69. slavery and the impiety of interference with it.

He had gagged his students at Lane Seminary until they seceded en masse. He was denouncing atheism, but not the slave system based upon it; and fatalism, while supporting the Colonization Society, which held that the blacks were fated to remain degraded in this country. He professed to have blushed (though alone) while reading the socialistic tracts of Robert Owen and Fanny Wright; but when had he done so, in public or in private, at the practical and legal annihilation of the marriage institution among the slaves by Christians of all denominations? Mr. Garrison returned to the subject, strictly in its relations to slavery, in the next two numbers of the Liberator, accompanying his last article on Dr. Beecher Lib. 6.123, 126. with a long one maintaining the sinfulness of all war, and the Christian character of non-resistance; and a shorter one
