Chapter 3: Apprenticeship.—1818-1825. Mastering the mechanical art, he soon writes anonymously for the Herald, and receives encouragement, especially from Caleb Cushing, who discovers his secret. His mother dies in Baltimore, where he makes a last visit to her. The boy had not been many days in the printing-office before he was convinced that he had at last found his right place; but his first feeling was one of discouragement as he watched the rapidity with which the compositors see year of his birth was 1804, and that he had now attained his majority, he signalized the event by a fervid poem of eight stanzas, entitled Twenty-One! with this concluding invocation: Spirit of Independence! where art thou?— Ibid., Dec. 16, 1825. I see thy glorious form—and eagle eye, Beaming beneath thy mild and open brow— Thy step of majesty, and proud look high: Thee I invoke!—O to this bosom fly; Nor wealth shall awe my soul, nor might, nor power; And should thy whelps assail,—l

ith some local societies in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware, were represented in the Convention of 1794. Annual sessions of the American Convention were held, with more or less regularity, for several years; afterwards it met biennially till 1825, then annually till 1829, when it suspended operations for nine years, holding its final meeting in 1838. The State societies devoted their efforts to gradual emancipation in their own States, the education and moral improvement of the free peopl South. And yet, only a few months previous, Lundy had expressed some distrust of the Colonization Society because Clay, Randolph, and other prominent slaveholders were active in its councils. In the interests of this scheme he visited Hayti in 1825, and returned after several months to find his beloved wife dead, after giving birth to twins, his home desolate, and his surviving children scattered. These he collected and placed in the care of friends, and then renewed his vow to devote his e

warfare upon American slavery. The first number of the Genius of Universal Emancipation under these new auspices was dated Wednesday, September 2, 1829, and was the 227th issued since its foundation by Lundy eight years before. From 1821 to 1825, inclusive, Lundy published the paper monthly, and occasionally fortnightly, as means permitted. The weekly issue began in September, 1825. It now appeared after an interval of eight months (during which Lundy had made his trip to Hayti with the mancipation. To Elizabeth Heyrick, of Leicester, England, a member of the Society of Friends, belongs the high distinction of having been the first to enunciate the doctrine of Immediate Emancipation. Her pamphlet on that subject, published in 1825, was so able and convincing that the abolitionists of Great Britain, then struggling for the overthrow of slavery in the West Indies, quickly adopted the principle thus proclaimed by her, and conquered under that sign. Colonization was a theme

Mr. Greenleaf, also, will cordially come in, and I need not say he is one of the first [men] in the State, for his character is known. The reference here is to the Hon. Stephen Longfellow, father of the poet, who had been a delegate to the Hartford Convention, and a Representative from Maine in the 18th Congress (1823-25); and to Simon Greenleaf, the eminent jurist, shortly to be law professor at the Harvard School, and eventually the successor of Story. The practical use of the Thoughts was as an arsenal of facts for the public speakers engaged in exposing the pretensions of the Colonization Society. This task had been the immediate concern of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society, both in its regular and special meetings, and through its president, Arnold Buffum, and other Johnson's Garrison, 94-115;

For the rest, the proslavery compromises of 1789, the solemn obligation of the Constitutional compact, and the necessity of depriving the South of a pretext for disunion, furnished the staple of the bill of fare upon which Richard Fletcher, An eminent lawyer, a native of Vermont, who came to Boston in 1825. He did not long remain in the ranks of repression. In 1838 he was ready to have Congress abolish slavery in the District and the inter-State slave trade, and to exclude new slave States from the Union (Lib. 8.179).

Peleg Sprague, and Harrison Gray Otis were presently to enlarge. Peleg Sprague, a native of Massachu
