Mr. Garrison had procured for both Englishmen the official invitation of the New England and American Anti-Slavery Societies, and had in the opening number of the fourth volume of the amiss. My mind was very tranquil. The meeting was finally held in the lower hall of the Lib. 4.123. Masonic Temple, in spite of direct incitement to violence by the press and by means of placards.

What! shall we send, with lavish breath, Our sympathies across the wave, Where Manhood, on the field of death, Strikes for his freedom or a grave? Shall prayers go up, and hymns be sung For Greece, the Moslem fetters spurning, And millions hail with pen and tongue Our light on all her altars burning?

And shall the slave, beneath our eye, Clank o'er our fields his hateful chain? And toss his fettered arms on high, And groan for Freedom's gift, in vain? Just God! and shall we calmly rest, The Christian's scorn,—the heathen's mirth,— Content to live the lingering jest And byword of a mocking Earth? Shall our own glorious land retain That curse which Europe scorns to bear? Shall our own bret

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 of words, yet a master of terse, homely English; simple and frugal in his habits, but charitable and hospitable in an unusual degree.
