idual, though, as N. P. Rogers said, the Emancipator was as Lib. 10.93. clearly the property of the National Society as the Herald of Freedom was that of the New Hampshire Society. Against this extraordinary action the Massachusetts Society, in quarterly meeting, protested in vain. Lib. 10.63. The transfer was made, before the egates were Mary Grew, Sarah Pugh, Abby Kimber, and Elizabeth Neall—all Quakers, except Miss Grew. Mrs. Mott, with Garrison and Rogers (already a delegate from New Hampshire), being Lib. 10.55. now selected to represent the American Society, went in a double capacity, and so offered the completest test of the Convention's dispositand have administered a few doses, to good effect.

or there is no place so dear to me in the world as my home, and I am never so happy as when by your side. You know I am not given to making many professions; but I do not feel the less, but the more, on this account. O no! Be assured that you shall hear from me frequently, when I am across the big waters. You shall have a long letter from me before I leave this city, which will be on Tuesday afternoon next, in the fine large ship Columbus, for Liverpool. Rev. C. P. Grosvenor, Of Worcester, Mass. Grosvenor, together with the Rev. Nathaniel Colver, of Boston, and the Rev. Elon Galusha, of Perry, N. Y., had been deputed to attend the World's Convention by the body called the National Baptist A. S. Convention organized in New York on Apr. 28-30, 1840 (Mass. Abolitionist, 2.53). Colver was also a delegate of the Mass. Abolition Society, and Galusha of the American and Foreign A. S. Society (ibid., 2.111, and Lib. 10.118). William Adams, A most worthy Scotch Quaker, from Pawtuc

Its recipient had read it with a Lib. 10.15. thrill of sacred joy: Rev. Charles Fitch to W. L. Garrison. Newark, Jan. 9, 1840. Lib. 10.15. Dear Sir: Herewith I attempt the discharge of a duty to which I doubt not that I am led by the dictates of an enlightened conscience, and by the influences of the Spirit of God. I have been led, of late, to look over my past life, and to inquire what I would think of past feelings and actions, were I to behold Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven, coming to judge the world, and to establish His reign of holiness and righteousness and blessedness over the pure in

sing and novel to me as it was at the prospect of the birth of dear little Georgie. Should I hear good tidings from you, perhaps my Muse may manufacture some verses in honor of the newcomer; though I ought first, in order, to celebrate the advent of my little paragon, Willie Wallie. Well, he shall not be forgotten. I shall love all my children (and mine are thine, dearest), equally well. The Muse, however, observed the law of primogeniture. Fog and a gale retarded the passage from Holyhead to Liverpool, and brought the only perilous moments of the voyage. W. L. Garrison to his wife. June 15, 1840. Monday afternoon. Ms., and Lib. 10.123. 8 o'clock.—Another pilot-boat comes dancing over the waves to the wild music of the gale, and is evidently intending to reach us. Now she makes a circuit around us, having a light skiff or wherry floating at her stern, with the pilot and two or three oarsmen in it, ready to be cast off, that he may be put on board; now it is alon
Cleveland (Ohio, United States) (search for this): chapter 6
ecause its President, Agent, and Committee are all turned politicians, and the people are determined not to be gulled into a political party. It is evident that the Committee, H. B. Stanton, Birney and others in New York are determined to organize a great political party, to regenerate the Government. They made the first onset upon Massachusetts. Defeated there, they formed a political party there—Abolition Society. Then they got up the Albany Convention. Defeated there, the meeting at Cleveland Ante, pp. 307, 314. was called. Defeated there, they have made an onset on Western New York, Witness the West Bloomfield convention ending Feb. 6, 1840, the Waterloo convention, on Feb. 24, and some dozen minor county conventions, like this at Cato, in the interval (Lib. 10: 29). and are determined to convert this State Society into a political party, or have a New Organization here. They are determined to make a desperate push at the Anniversary in May. If they cannot convert the

The Lynn resolutions against a Third Party found a special motive in the call for another convention to Lib. 10.31. nominate Presidential candidates (again at Albany) on April 1, which had emanated from an anti-slavery convention held at Arcade, N. Y., a week after the Massachusetts annual meeting. The date was obviously fixed in anticipation of the annual meeting of the American Society in New York City. The following letter reveals the struggle going on for the possession of the State te candidates for President and Vice-President. This convention, it would seem, originated with the members of the Executive Committee at New York. They have put up their tools, Myron Holley and others, to call it. So at a county convention at Arcade, near Rochester, they (Holley, Smith and Chaplin) got a resolution passed to this effect. There has been no general concert among the friends. It is to be a kind of packed meeting of political office-hunters calling themselves abolitionists. T

The wind, however, is dead ahead, so that the packet will not sail until to-morrow, and perhaps not till the day after, should the wind not haul round.

Garrison, and from the thick-ribbed hills of the Granite State; but especially from the counties of old Essex, and Middlesex, and Norfolk, and Plymouth, and Suffolk, in Massachusetts, they came promptly and numerously at the summons of humanity, in spite of hard times and the busy season of the year, to save our heaven-approved association from dissolution, and our broad platform from being destroyed. An extra train of cars had been engaged for the occasion; but so numerous was the company, another train had to be started—our numbers continually augmenting at every stopping-place between the two cities. 0, it was a heart-stirring and rare spectacle—such as ha<

At Lynn, on March 10 and 11. 1840, before a large and Lib. 10.46, 47. enthusiastic assembly gathered in quarterly meeting of the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society, Mr. Gaer resolutions, bearing the stamp of the editor of the Liberator, and anticipating Mr. Seward's famous dictum as to an irrepressible conflict, were also adopted at Lynn, in these words: Resolved, That Freedom and Slavery are natural and Lib. 10.46. irreconcilable enemies; that it is morally impossible for them to endure toe sub-treasury (Lib. 10.179). that this influence has increased, is increasing, and cannot be destroyed, except by the destruction of slavery or the Union.
