e's none so poor would do them reverence. Even in this city it was with the utmost difficulty they could find a place in which to exhibit those young humbugs, the two African princes, and their emancipation scheme, which is the greatest humbug of all! They could get into no churches but the Methodist—not even into Park Street! Now let them ask, with a sneer, What have abolitionists done? The Rev. Orson S. Murray writes to Mr. Garrison (Ms. Oct. 11, 1834) of Congregational clergymen in Vermont who would no longer take up collections for the Colonization Society. This unfriendly reception of the colonizationists, however, was a sacrifice of real to outward logic. The people of Boston should know no difference between immediate abolition and Colonization, if they are calculated to destroy the harmony which should subsist between the North and the South (Commercial Gazette, in Lib. 4.123. Cf. ante, pp. 303, 304.) The abolitionists had equally been obliged to give up a public c

Churches were as readily thrown open to him as were anti-slavery conventions, and a large part of the thirty addresses or more he had made before the end of the year were delivered in them.

His father, Timothy Jackson, was a minute-man who joined in the pursuit of the retreating British on April 19. 1775. He himself was a soldier at Fort Warren in Boston harbor in the War of 1812. He early took an active part in the municipal affairs of Boston, and directed some of its chief territorial improvements, but did not seek office. He was a very tower of strong will, solid judgment, shrewd forecast, sturdy common sense; sparing

y outraged Quakers. He cherished their spirit, dressed very much in their style, and generally [while in Providence] attended their religious meetings. Two of his daughters became Friends through convincement. Religion, philanthropy and hospitality moulded the family life at Friendship's Valley, as Prudence Crandall had gratefully denominated the Benson place, which lay on both sides of the Norwich and Worcester road, in an intervale at the foot of the long hill separating Brooklyn from Pomfret. Nowhere could Mr. Garrison have found an atmosphere more congenial to his moral sense, or more inimical to the solitary and unsettled life he had hitherto led. Almost in the ride to Canterbury he had Ante, p. 390. offered himself to Miss Helen, his companion, but lacked the courage. In January, 1834, he began a correspondence which speedily culminated in a proposal of marriage on his part, and in a joyful yet self-distrustful acceptance on hers.

f the whole number of subscribers to the Liberator, only about one-fourth are white. The paper, then, belongs emphatically to the people of color—it is their organ—and to them its appeals will come with peculiar force. Let them remember that so strong are the prejudices of the whites against it, we cannot at present expect much support from them. And surely, by a very trifling combination of effort and means, the colored population might easily give vigor and stability to the paper. In Philadelphia, they number 25,000; in New York, 20,000; in Baltimore, 10,000; and they are numerous in other places. True, they are poor and trodden down; but how can they arise without having a press to lift up its voice in their behalf? They are poor—but taking the paper will not make them any poorer—it will add to their respectability, their intelligence, and their means. It is for them, therefore, to decide this question— Shall the Liberator die? We now print and circulate 2300 copie
