In the intervals of these excursions he spoke frequently in Boston. In February, accompanied by the Rev. Amos A. Phelps and by Henry Benson, he visiparticipating in the New England Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston, and, at the very close, holding in Julien Hall a debate Lib. 5.89. with Gurley on the subject of colonization. His June campaign was made in the already well-worked field of Essex County, and thither he was recalled in July by the presence of Gurley in Andover.

A New York Abolitionist, writing to the Lib. 6.141. Liberator, whom we can certainly identify with Lewis Tappan, saw in the Sabbath discussion the germ of animosity and contention among brethren. At the semiannual meeting of the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society Lib. 6.158. on September 15, a resolution of Charles Burleigh's, urging support of the Liberator, found Sabbatarian objectors, though the vote was finally unanimous.

These gentlemen, now feeling the weight of the cause to be somehow resting on their shoulders, came forward, in the name of nine-tenths of the abolitionists, to unfold their budget of complaints against Mr. Garrison and the Liberator.

These Lib. 9.7. resolutions were concocted in Essex County, by the joint labors of two clergymen, and passed as above stated—only four or five hands, we learn, being raised in tiews at this period.

This is not less humiliating than true. Besides this, new organization has benumbed the sensibilities and paralyzed the energies of very many who were once actively engaged in our cause. It is the worst foe that liberty has to contend with— the most dangerous form of pro-slavery. This morning I go to Methuen, to attend the Essex County Lib. 10.175. Convention.
