These were chiefly among the Friends, but one embraced some of the members of a militia company who had assembled for a muster, and its captain became the president of the society, while a Friend was chosen secretary. Entering Virginia, and traversing the middle section of the State, Lundy continued the good work without molestation, his Quaker brethren giving him their ready sympathy, while the community at large took no alarm. Nor did the establishment of the Genius at Baltimore cause any excitement, for, in his initial article, the editor declared the end and aim of the paper to be the gradual, though total, abolition of slavery in the United States, and he devoted the larger portion of several numbers to the advocacy and furtherance of a scheme for colonizing the emancipated slaves in Hayti, using some of the very arguments

When it was reported that certain persons, in a distant part of the State, scrupled to subscribe for the Liberator because they favored gradual emancipation with transportation to Liberia, We are glad to learn, he said, that some Lib. 1.117. have even a perverted conscience in that place; for on the subject of slavery we feared they had none at all. The Quaker mode of extinguishing slavery by abstaining from its products still commended itself to Mr. Garrison. The free States, he says, in the second Lib. 1.5. number of the Liberator, receive and consume the productions of slave labor! The District of Columbia is national property; slavery exists in that District! Yet the free States are not involved in the guilt of slavery! In subsequent discussions of the subject he urged that the receiver was as bad as the thief; that a merchant Lib. 1.

Mr. Garrison had also his word for Mr. Bacon (Lib. 3: 201): No writer in the United States, no slaveholder in the South, has uttered or published more excusatory, corrupt, and blasphemous sentiments as regards slavery than this individual. Citations follow. Clarkson, now almost blind, was reported to have listened with Lib. 2.23. enthusiastic delight to the details of the Society's operations as related by Elliott Cresson, its Quaker travelling agent in England. In April, a memorial purporting to come from its British membership, and supported and forwarded by the same Cresson, asking national aid for the Society, was presented in the House of Lib. 2.59; Niles Register, 42.97, 98. Representatives; but in this the Society overreached itself. Polk, of Tennessee, denounced it as the first foreign effort to Lib. 2.61. intermeddle with the subject of slavery in Congress, and as an act of impertinence; and its reading

At this writing (May, 1885), Elizur Wright, Jr., J. G. Whittier, and Robert Purvis alone survive. The Quaker element was naturally prominent. Besides those already mentioned, Maine sent Joseph Southwick, and Nathan and Isaac Winslow; Massachusetts, Arnold Buffum and Efscore signers of the Declaration not one was a woman. Such was the custom of the times, in regard to the public relation of the sexes, that Lucretia Mott and her Quaker sisters did not ask or expect to sign; the male delegates—even the members of their own sect—did not think to invite them. It was a significant mark of liberalit
