ubject of slavery. Although the most strenuous exertions have been made by a committee to procure a meeting-house in which to have the address delivered, up to this hour they have not been able to succeed, and probably we must resort to a hall. Tell it not at the South! Publish it not in the capital of Georgia! The address was in fact delivered in Boylston Hall, and afterwards on the same day at Lynn. It was Lib. 2.107. remarked that, contrary to the usage of the time, the Rev. Joshua N. Danforth, an agent of the Colonization Society, who officiated on the previous Sunday at the Essex-Street Church, refused to read the printed notice of the address. Twelve days later, in the one church sure to open its doors to him, the Baptist Church in Belknap Street, Mr. Garrison delivered another address, on the Progress of the Abolition Cause, before the African Abolition Freehold Society, in commemoration of the Act of Parliament, in 1807, making the slave trade piracy.

Nor did Danforth's malice end there. In a letter written from Boston under date of March 28, 1833, to Col. William L.

The whole of this disgraceful excitement owes its origin and execution to the prominent advocates of the Colonization Society. See, more specifically, Lib. 4.27. The first who had the hardihood to stigmatize me as having gone abroad to calumniate my country, were those wholesale dealers in falsehood and scurrility, Robert S. Finley, Joshua N. Danforth, and Cyril Pearl. An attempt to create an excitement was made on my arrival in this city, by some anonymous blackguard, which met with partial success. The effect of these proceedings cannot fail to be highly favorable to the cause of emancipation. Glory to them who die in this great cause! Mobs—judges—can inflict no brand of shame, Or shape of death, to shroud them from applause! No! manglers of the martyr's earthly frame, Your hangmen fingers cannot touch his fame. Still in th
