u 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 Pawtucket, a Rhode Island delegate (see Lib. 10.165). C. L. Remond, and Rogers, will go with me. . . .

As the President, Arthur Tappan, purposely absented himself, Francis Jackson, a Lib. 10.82. Vice-President of the American Society, took the chair. His first duty was to appoint a business committee, and this he composed as follows, with an obviously liberal representation of Third Party and New Organization: W. L. Garrison, chairman; Ichabod Codding (Maine); Thomas Davis (Rhode Island); Rowland T. Robinson (Vermont); Amos A. Phelps, Abby Kelley (Massachusetts); William L. Chaplin, Lewis Tappan (New York); Charles C. Burleigh, Charles W. Gardiner (Pennsylvania); and Charles W. Denison (New Jersey). On Miss Kelley's confirmation by the meeting the fate of the Society depended. The viva-voce vote being questioned, a count by the tellers showed a total of 1008, Lib. 10.86. with about a hundred majority in her favor. The deathknell of sectarian

Write to friends in Connecticut. See Thomas Davis and Wm. Chace; Chace and Davis were brothers-in-law, aly into what port you will have her put to take on the friends of truth from Connecticut.

Benson of Connecticut,— on the soft side of the best accommodations at friend Van Rensalaer's command, and as good as we required,—better far than our poor plantation clients share. Brother Van Rensalaer would have gladly furnished us all a bed of down. We could not pass over the circumstance unnoticed, that the great anti-slavery city of New York, the headquarters of the American Anti-Slavery Society, before the anti-slavery property and standing seceded from it, while they were yet in its bosom, —where there is a City Anti-Slavery Society—the place of the Tappans and the Jays—that it had not a place for Wm. Lloyd Garrison to lay his head, below that cotton loft. We trust our new-organized brother Jonathan Curtis had snugger quarters. We take this late opportunity of acknowledging, too, the kind hospitality of Thomas True

ceive the earliest intelligence of the proceedings of the Convention, I shall write to you by the first conveyance. How that body will be organized, or how comprehensive will be the spirit which may pervade it, it is not for me to predict. The object of the Convention is to promote the interests of Humanity. It is, then, a common object, in which all who wear the human form have a right to participate, without regard to color, sex or clime. With a young woman placed on the throne of Great Britain, will the philanthropists of that country presume to object to the female delegates from the United States, as members of the Convention, on the ground of their sex? In what assembly, however august or select, is that almost peerless woman, Lucretia Mott, not qualified to take an equal part? I have no wish to mar the harmony, or disturb the repose, of the Convention by the introduction of any topic, but I cannot consent to have one human being excluded from the World's Platform, even

What particularly excited these lewd fellows of the baser sort was, the mixing of our white and colored friends on terms of equality. One of our friends from Oberlin was severely injured. As Rogers and myself have been stopping with our colored N. P. Rogers. friend Van Rensalaer, N. P. Rogers reports (in Herald of Freedom, 6.126): At the National Meeting in May, Thomas Van Rensalaer opened his heart and his home in New York to brother Garrison and us, without money and without price. He had no house there, where he could do for us as he wished to do. His table, in his victualling cellar, was abundant and excellent—too good, if anything, for an abo

testimony against the awful sin of slavery; and that abolitionists are bound by the holy principles they profess, and by their regard for the rights of their enslaved and imbruted fellow-men, to withhold their support from such associations, and to endeavor to bring the members of them to repentance for the sin of stopping their ears at the cry of the poor. 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. Garrison shaped kindred resolutions more pointedly, affirming that the indifference or open hostility to anti-slavery principles and measures of most of the so-called religious sects, and a great majority of the clergy of the country, constitutes the main Obstruction to the progress of our cause. And for the special reproof of the Quaker community of which Lynn was the seat, he Life of J. and L. Mott, p. 141. offered, with the necessary exceptions in favor of i

On arriving at Providence, the company embarked on board of the steamboat Rhode Island, which had the American flag flyit been fashioned), a considerable number of delegates from Bristol County and from the city of Providence joining us; so that, huge and capacious as were the dimensions of our chartered boat, it was vtheasterly storm which had lasted for several days previous, cleared up finely just as we left Providence, and a glorious sunset and a bright moonlight evening followed. All was tranquil, all happy.
