on which shows how natural it was for Mr. Garrison to be made (in Mr. Thompson's language) the vicarious victim of that wrath which has been kindled by the foreign emissary : The Gazette had been for a long time in the habit of Ms. Aug. 19, 1852, to Geo. C. Rand. abusing the abolitionists, and especially their organ and its leader and director. It was, at times, particularly severe upon the Female Anti-Slavery Society, of which Mrs. Chapman, a very intelligent, respectable, and energetic the sight of God. Hail, Columbia!

the steps of the Hall ( Garrison mob, p. 21). Finally, Col. James W. Sever saw the mob rounding the eastern end of the City Hall, having in custody William L. Garrison, in his shirt-sleeves, and without a hat, having a rope around his waist. As they turned towards Washington Street they were met by the Mayor and a force of constables. At this moment the cry was raised, To the Frog Pond with him followed by an appeal to the bystanders to assist the Mayor, when, among many others, the late [1870] Colonel Thomas C. Amory and myself aided in the rescue of Mr. Garrison from the crowd, and in placing him within the south door of the Old State House, [City Hall], which was at once closed ( Garrison mob, p. 44). Orders were now given to carry me to the Mayor's office in the City Hall. As we approached the south door, the Mayor City Hall, from the west end (Post-office). the door with the flight of steps is that by which Mr. Garrison was taken in.

Mayor Lyman's account of his interview with Mr. Garrison for this purpose will be found on p. 19 of The Garrison mob. He implies, however, that this occurred before the destruction of the sign, but such is not the order in Mr. Burleigh's relation (Lib. 5.171). Moreover, there is no corroboration of his statement that he advised Mr. Garrison to conceal himself in the garret, who accordingly went up the attic stairs with alacrity, and the Mayor saw no more of him. The only surviving witness (1885), Mr. Sewall, strenuously maintains that Mr. Garrison was with difficulty persuaded by himself and his other friends to leave a building in which, by the Mayor's confession, no protection could be afforded him, whether in the attic or elsewhere. At this juncture, an abolition brother whose mind had not been previously settled on the peace question, in his anguish and alarm for my safety, and in view of the helplessness of the civil authority, said— I must henceforth repudiate the principle of

d intensity to the anti-slavery doctrines he had been invited to propagate. Mr. Thompson had delivered no less than 220 addresses (Lib. 6.49). Nowhere was the impression made by his year's labors more profound than at the South. From them Jefferson Davis dates the Rise and Fall of the Confederacy, 1.33. public agitation for abolition, and the deliberate attempt to dissolve the Union; and the author of a notable secession work The Cradle of the Confederacy, by Joseph Hodgson. Mobile, 1876. （Page 222.) likewise declares Thompson to have been the controlling spirit of this effort to array North and South on geographical lines, and renews the charge that he went about repeating in conversation that every slaveholder should have his throat cut. But, more than in all this, the significance of Mr. Thompson's experience is to be found in the demonstration which it afforded of Southern control over Northern liberties. None too soon it was discovered that this execrated Englishma

made to seize me by the mob—but in vain. Mayor Lyman says: Running the greater part of the way, I reached the jail before the carriage, which, however, soon came up, but not before between two and three hundred persons had assembled there. But a line was made to the jail by officers, and, on the door being opened, Garrison seemed to bound from the carriage to the jail door with a single leap ( Garrison Mob, p. 23). This was certainly very precipitate action! Mr. Henry Guild reports in 1869 (ibid., p. 39) that he was informed shortly after the affair that Mr. Garrison, in relating his experience in a public meeting, stated that he never was so glad to get into a jail in his life. A similar statement was made in a long review of the anti-slavery movement in the N. Y. Herald of Feb. 7, 1861, and elicited this denial from Mr. Garrison: It is needless for us to say that no such exclamation ever came from our lips—no such thought ever entered our mind.

cio, municipal disorder occasioned. He did no more for Mr. Garrison than he might have done for a murderer in danger of being lynched on the way to prison. The outrage on the right of free meeting and of free speech affected him so little that, as Mr. Garrison charged, he took no steps to bring the notorious instigators and ringleaders to trial, or proclaim his sense of the disgrace that had befallen the city. For instance, we do not find him calling a second Faneuil Hall meeting, as in August of the previous year, on occasion of the sacking of the Ursuline Convent (ante, 1: 448), to pledge the pro-Southern [Protestant] citizens of Boston, collectively and individually, to unite with their anti-slavery [Catholic] brethren in protecting their persons, their property, and their civil and religious rights, with H. G. Otis for chief speaker to the resolutions (see Niles' Register, 46.438). His subsequent inaction, in short, naturally extinguished what dubious claim he had on Mr. Garri

Rooms, he returned to New York in company with Mr. Garrison. In April he was again in Boston, using the only church open to him (the Methodist Church in Bennett Street) for a Fast-Day and other discourses, and a third time in New York, forming en route a female anti-slavery society in the Providence Pine-Street Baptist Church; and then, once more with Messrs. Phelps and Benson for companions, he journeyed to Albany and Troy, where his success warranted a long sojourn. In the second week in May we find him attending the anniversary meetings of the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York, which were held in Lib. 5.117. perfect security despite a placard intended to renew the scenes of October, 1833; in the last week, participating in the New England Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston, and, at the very close, holding in Julien Hall a debate Lib. 5.89. with Gurley on the subject of colonization.

His June campaign was made in the already well-worked field of Essex County, and thither he was recalled in July by the presence of Gurley in Andover. Nowhere had the interest and excitement produced by Mr. Thompson's eloquence been more intense, or the struggle severer, than on this occasion. But, though backed by Amos A. Phelps, he could not prevail against the alliance of Gurley with Professor Stuart to maintain the settled hostility of this theological centre. The quiet temper of the public mind was destroyed as in an instant by the Charleston bonfire and its imitations at the North—the town me
