To Mrs. S. B. Shaw. 1864. I suppose you will hear of George Thompson while he is in New York, if you do not see him. How wonderful it is that he should be received in this manner, when twenty-nine years ago he had to hustle away privately to Halifax to take passage for England, because his life was in danger in our cities! Now a great deal of the respectability of Boston unites with us to give him a grand reception, and his entrance is greeted with hurrahs! To-day abhorred, to-morrow adored, So round and round we run; And ever the Truth comes uppermost, And ever is Justice done. I met Mr. Thompson at the Anti-slavery Office. In talking with him, I told him how wrathy I had been with England. You should remember, Mrs. Child, said he, how your cause was made to appear in the eyes of the world.

that I lad myself often apologized for the common people of England in that very way; saying, I felt sure their hearts would sympathize with any war for freedom and humanity. Now that freedom appears to be the dominant idea, the common people of England do sympathize with you most heartily, replied he. As for the aristocratic classes, a desire to see the grand experiment of a republic fail underlies all their hostility to the North. I admitted the truth of all this; but after all, it must be remembered that our haughty step-dame England hastened to recognize the rebels as belligerents before we had given any of the alleged signs of subservience to slavery. Did you see Kingsley's exultation over the idea that the pages he was writing might meet the eyes of that great hero and statesman, ,Jeff. Davis? It was miserable twaddle, to say nothing of its want of principle. It does seem to me remarkable that the literary men of England should so favor a cause avowedly founded on despotism.
