a disturber of the peace of society, a violator of all law, both human and divine. Language like this, which might well have been reserved for arch-criminals, could not fail to inculcate a lamentably false idea of Mr. Garrison's moral character among the public at large, and even to disquiet distant friends. In the present instance the following private vindication seemed called for: Francis Jackson to Jesse Stedman, at Chester, Vt. Boston, June 20, 1838. Ms. Yours of the 13th inst. was duly received, relative to the charges brought against Wm. Lloyd Garrison by a minister of the gospel. I reply to them with pleasure from my long personal knowledge of Mr. Garrison. I would remark in the outset, that I believe the overthrow of slavery to be the greatest moral question of the age; that it is the undoubted right and the conscientious duty of all to unite their efforts for its immediate extermination; and that, in order to insure unity of action, it is proper for each

The first outward sign was the resignation, on the 20th of December, of Amos A. Phelps Ms. as General Agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. W. L. Garrison to Mary Benson, at Providence. Boston, December 23, 1838. Ms. The annual meeting of our State Anti-Slavery Society will be held on the 23d of January, and will be well worth your attendance, on the score of interest. I anticipate an animated, almost a stormy scene. Facts are daily coming to my ears which show that the spirit of sectarianism is busy at its old game of division—working in darkness, and secretly endeavoring to transfer our sacred cause to other hands. The leaders in this work of mischief are clerical abolitionists. The plot is extensively laid, and the wires are pulled skilfully. It will be managed much more ingenio

as at last roused the entire nation. We thank you for the welcome you have given us to be fellow-laborers with you in this holy cause. May this year be one of cheerful self-denial, of energetic action, of successful exertion, to us all. Then, whether sickness or health, joy or sorrow, life or death, be our allotted portion, it will be a Happy New Year. Death was the allotted portion of the lamented writer of these lines, in the short space of three months, and, as she made her will on February 1, must have been foreseen when writing to Mr. Garrison. She made liberal bequests to the American A. S. Society and to the Boston Female A. S. Society (Lib. 7: 59). A poetic tribute to her memory, from the pen of Mr. Garrison, dated Boston, Oct. 27, 1837, was published in the Liberty Bell for 1839. The typographical appearance of the paper was improved in the ninth number of the new volume by an Mar. 2, 1838. enlargement of the pictorial heading. The old conception (rather than the o

is now absent to spend the summer in Connecticut, I shall suggest to the pro tem. editor of the Liberator to publish in the next Liberator Miss Martineau's Lib. 8.104. whole description of Mr. Garrison. I send also per mail the Prospectus to the 8th volume of the Liberator, and a poetical effusion entitled True Rest, which will give you some idea of his religious opinions and views of human government. New organization had, to all appearance, made no progress during the year. On February 15, the Rev. E. Lib. 8.31. M. P. Wells had called the Boston Evangelical Anti-Slavery Society to order, his qualification for this function consisting in his avowedly not having seen or read the Liberator for two years past. Fitch was the chief speaker, but the membership was not enlarged beyond the original group of Appellants. A little later, their organ, the Spectator, died of inanition.

ration of the slave-owners. On the two occasions on which Mr. Garrison spoke during the four days proceedings at the Hall, he devoted himself to censure of this departure from the standard of immediatism. In the forenoon of the second day (Tuesday, May 15), while sitting as a spectator in the back part of the gallery, he was loudly called for from all parts of the house. Finding the audience would not be satisfied, he stepped to the front part of the gallery, and, in a modest and respectful wed, as she devoutly thanked the Lord that the stupid repose of that city had at length been disturbed by the force of truth. Here may fitly be cited another passage from Mr. Garrison's censure of David Paul Brown on the previous morning (Tuesday, May 15): I know, indeed, that some will consider the remarks of that gentleman as adapted to please all parties—to allay, in some measure, the prejudice that prevails against us and our holy cause.
