breakfast, just rising to his feet to make a speech: he had entirely forgotten the appointment. A note of reminder was slipt into his hands, and he at once excused himself. Driven rapidly to the Hall he came upon the platform, and at the proper moment threw off his magnificent speech as he threw off his coat, as Mr. Garrison was fond of saying in after years. This speech, humorous, disjointed, occasionally blundering (as where O'Connell expressed sympathy with the oppressed State of South Carolina in the nullification controversy), was also characteristically eloquent, and calculated to probe American susceptibilities to the quick. I will now go to America, said he, after a reference to Lib. 3.186. the anti-slavery crisis in England and the pending issue of compensation and apprenticeship. I have often longed to go there in reality; but so long as it is tarnished by slavery, I will never pollute my foot by treading on its shores. Of the American slave-owners he declared, ami

asm to the Colonization Society, he called it a humbug, and the most ludicrous Society that ever yet was dreamed of. He moved a resolution that its fundamental principle was ever the colonization of the free people of color, and abolition never the object, but on the contrary the security of slave property; which was seconded by Captain Stuart and carried unanimously. Cresson was as usual not on hand, but the Society had as defenders two members of Parliament and a converted Jew from Andover, Mass., to the former of whom Thompson made an admirable rejoinder. Resolutions in further denunciation of the fraudulent and oppressive character of the Society, and in cordial approbation of the Lib. 3.193, 197. principles of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society, were also passed without dissent, and the meeting came to an end. A few days afterward Mr. Garrison received the following emphatic letter from Zachary Macaulay, by whose Ms. July 5, 1833, from Jas. Cropper. prudent advice th

Stuart, Joseph Phillips, William Hume, Esq., of Dublin, and other gentlemen, expecting to find a large audience. Mr. Cresson and six or eight of his friends constituted the whole company in attendance, excepting those who went with me! The Duke of Sussex was absent, and Mr. Cresson therefore moved the guilt of slavery is national, its danger is national, and the obligation to remove it is national.

Mr. Garrison had paid a memorable visit: Immediately after the meeting at Exeter Hall, July 13, 1833. I rode to 2d Ann. Report N. E. A. S. S., p. 46. Ipswich to see Thomas Clarkson, accompanied by my esteemed friend, the Rev. Nathaniel Paul. Here it is proper to state in what manner the mind of this venerable philanthful attitude. Under these circumstances, little authority or value ought to be attached to his opinions in favor of the Society and its colony. On arriving at Ipswich, we found that we could easily gain access to Clarkson only through the medium of Alexander— of him whose mind we knew was strongly prejudiced against us both, in consequence of the flagrant misrepresentations of Mr. Cresson. But we did not hesitate to call upon him, and state the object of our visit to Ipswich. He treated us politely; and as Clarkson resided at Playford Hall, a distance of two or three miles from the town, he offered to postpone another engagement which he had made, and

The Report proceeds: As in duty bound, both by my instructions and my Ibid. obligations of gratitude, I immediately called upon James Cropper, in Finsbury Circus, at whose hands I experienced the utmost hospitality and kindness, and from whose lips I received congratulations upon my arrival at the very crisis of the antislavery cause in England.
