Thanks to the indefatigable exertions of Collins, the Right and Wrong in Mass., 1839, p. 138; new General Agent, the Massachusetts pledge was redeemed in the five weeks before May 1. In the meantime, as a specially appointed agent of the Society, Lib. 9.71. Mr. Garrison entered upon an active lecturing tour in Plymouth, Bristol, At New Bedford, on the evening of April 15 (Lib. 9: 66), Mr. Garrison had Frederick Douglass, a six-months' freeman, among his auditors. The future great negro orator thus describes his impressions in his Life and Times (ed. 1882, p. 214): Soon after becoming a reader of the Liberator, it was my privilege to listen to a lecture in Liberty Hall, by Mr. Garrison, its editor. He was then a young man, of a singularly pleasing countenance, and earnest and impressive manner. On this occas

The sonnet of 1831 was quoted again, and a new Ante, 1.272. one (not a better) composed by way of epitaph. Mr. Garrison expressed his desire to carry out a promise made to Lundy in Baltimore, to write his biography in case he survived; Lundy had made a similar engagement, of a mutual kind, with his friend Thomas Hoge, of Nashville, whose death was announced to him in April, 1835, when nearing Natchez ( Life, p. 178). and this promise he would no doubt have kept as a peculiar duty, if Lundy's relatives had been favorably disposed. As it was, they chose Thomas Earle, whose very inadequate and inaccurate performance—the only Life of Lundy yet written—was published in Philad

is clerical slander was most industriously propagated in public and in private during the next few years (e. g., in New Hampshire, in the winter of 1841, as related in Parker Pillsbury's Acts of the Anti-slavery apostles, p. 243). Abner Sanger writes on Mar. 4, 1840, from Danvers, Mass., to Mr. Garrison, of the Rev. Daniel Wise's recent meeting in that place: After the thirteen females had retired, Mr. Wise stated the evil tendencies of the non-resistance doctrines. He said that a man in Putney, Vt. [J. H. Noyes], had written something which you had commented upon with approbation, some time since. Lately, the same person, (he had forgotten his name), had written something in a newspaper carrying out the non-resistance doctrines to the alarming consequences intimated by him. The idea was a promiscuous cohabitation of the sexes, which he stated, as near as he could recollect, thus: that one man had no more exclusive right to one woman than, when a number sat together at their dinner,

It will make a sensation when it is published. I shall publish it entire in the Non-Resistant, and nearly all of it in the Liberator. In the Liberator, 9: 52, in the Non-Resistant of April 6, 1839; in both, under the caption, On Non-Resistance,—The Powers that be, Civil, Judicial and Ecclesiastical,—Holiness. It was dated Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 24, 1839. It is the intention of friend Knapp to print it also, in pamphlet form. Boyle ought to be here in New England, editing a paper that shall cause every sect in Christendom (or, rather, in Babylon) to tremble. Can we not provide a way for his coming? This was in singular anticipation of a letter from Gamaliel Bailey, jr., written to Mr. Garrison on April 15, 1839, concerning Boyle, who was just leaving the employ of the Philanthropist. Bailey paid a very high tribute <

As early as July, 1837, it was apparent that Mr. Hall's clericalism had got the better of his abolitionism. On the 23d of that month, he refused to read a notice of an anti-slavery lecture, by A. A.

Mr. Garrison heard of it a month after the Convention, when he received from a subscriber the following communication, written on the first and third pages of a letter-sheet bearing the device of a kneeling female slave (the miserable woman question ), and the legend, Am I not a Woman and a Sister? To W. L. Garrison. Ohio City, Nov. 14th, 1839. Ms. Dear Sir: At the Cleveland Meeting there fell into my hands accidentally a letter from Mr. Wright to H. B. Stanton E. Wright, Jr. —confidential, of course—which stated, in substance, that things in their new society had been most wretchedly managed; that they had harped too much on the woman's rights question, and that they must have a nomination of candidates for the Presidency and V.

Further, to resolve, That we husetts affairs, would not have been formed. The new society's course was partial and proscriptive. It had organized privately, without a general invitation, and had not received the approval of any anti-slavery society in the State. The Bristol County Society had rescinded its action (Lib. 9.59). It did not originate with the people, the abolition Laity, but with a few clerical gentlemen; and nearly all who engaged in public advocacy of it were clergymen. Yet neither the management of the
