was the most singular melange I ever encountered, consisting of persons of every degree of talent and culture, from the Come-outers of Cape Cod to the Unitarian Transcendentalists (Ms. Sept. 5, 1840, E.

Phelps was ingenious though sophistical, Rev. N. Colver. and I suppose gave the best argument that could beiz., A. A. Phelps, (who spoke nearly four hours at one time, with a good deal of tact and spirit)—Nathaniel Colver, who exhibited his vulgarity and personal malice at full length—C. T.

kind from bondage shall be freed, And from the earth be chased all forms of tyranny. The retrospect from the beginning, on this thirty-fifth birthday, may well have astounded the still youthful founder of the anti-slavery movement. But passing from the romance of his own career to the events of the twelvemonth just closing, there was much to stimulate his ardor for the fray. The new gag applied by Lib. 10.6, 23, 31. Congress in January In the House, offered by Wm. Cost Johnson of Maryland, to wit: That no petition, memorial, resolution, or other paper, praying the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, or any State or Territory, or the slave trade between the States or Territories of the United States in which it now exists, shall be received by this House, or entertained in any way whatever. The vote was 114 yeas to 108 nays. The Senate followed suit (Lib. 10: 31). had stirred again in Massachusetts the spirit of resistance to tyranny, leading to another vigoro

Can any man tell, he asked, what increase of power, moral power, William Goodell would have by which to abolish slavery, if he were elected to the office of roadmaster in the ancient and honorable village of Whitesboroa? Finally, a party must have its exclusive candidates, and cannot tolerate support of its principles in the person of a candidate of another party. Thus, the reelection of N. B. Borden, a vice-president of the Massachusetts Society and president of the Fall River Anti-Slavery Society, who had already been a Representative in Congress, was opposed by the Liberty Party, professedly because, as an anti-slavery man, he deemed it wiser to vote for Harrison than for Birney.

th dismay some of our professed anti-slavery friends. Cowards! not to know that truth is mightier than error, and that it is darkness, and not light, that is afraid of investigation. Several of our subscribers have already discontinued their papers on account of the publication of the call in the Liberator, and more, I suppose, will soon follow their Lib. 10.167. example. The New Hampshire Panoply, Vermont Chronicle, New York Observer, Zion's Herald, Boston Transcript, Greenfield Gazette, Lynn Puritan, American Sentinel, etc., etc., are out in full blast about it. They attribute it all to me, of course; some of them insisting that my name is appended to the call. You will see, in the next Liberator, what they have said. This Lib. 10.177, 183. will be the occasion of a fresh attack upon my devoted head, and also upon the Liberator, to crush it. But, truly, none of these things disturb me. I can smile at Satan's rage, and face a frowning world, for my trust is in the Lord, and Chr

No fewer than five sonnets proceeded from him in December—partly contributed to the Liberator, Lib. 10.199, 207; 11.3, 4. and partly to the Liberty Bell, the annual publication of the Anti-Slavery Fair, under the auspices of Mrs. Chapman. We can fancy him composing them on his lonely midnight walks across the long bridge to Cambridge, over the Charles River. These two, the best of the five, if not at his high-water mark, have, perhaps, a claim to be quoted: Sonnet to Liberty. They tell me, Liberty! that, in thy name, Lib. 11.4; Writings of W. L.

Lord of the Sabbath, and who is himself the true rest, will confound them. Gen. Harrison is elected President by an overwhelming majority. At the late election, the great body of abolitionists violated their solemn pledges, and voted for party. George Bradburn at the East, and John Rankin at the West, did a great deal of harm by supporting Harrison. On Nantucket, there was but one scattering vote! Poor Birney, it is estimated, has received some five or six thousand votes out of two millions and a half! The farce is equally ludicrous and melancholy. Yet the Emancipator, Friend of Man, and Abolitionist seem determined to keep it up. New organization is drooping to its death. Aside from the third-party movement in this State, it has no vitality.

Let me beseech you not to fail to be at that meeting. Something must be done to prevent the last state of Rhode Island being worse than the first.
