Isaac Winslow's response was equally characteristic (Dec. 6): Enclosed you have an order on the Bank of the U. S. at one day's sight for $500, dated Dec. 5th, 1832, No. 904, for which amount you may forward me your note when convenient. This note has been preserved, and is endorsed: 4 mo. 11, 1840. Received payment in full of W. L. G. I. Winslow. . . . The distribution of these [remaining] copies [of the Thoughts] cannot fail to open the eyes of many good people, who through ignorance are giving their influence and money to aid the Colonization Society. The deathlike silence which has reigned among the leaders of the crusade since the appearance of the work, very plainly shows that they are unable to disprove its allegations. Surely six months furnish a space amply sufficient to make a reply; and I know if they could, by any

e guest of Nathan Winslow, one of the most Lib. 2.166. thoroughgoing friends of the abolition cause in our land, The same might have been said of his brother Isaac Winslow, who shortly afterwards lent timely and generous assistance to the struggling firm of Garrison & Knapp. Nathan had subscribed to the Liberator from its fison, O.. and so a colleague of President Storrs and Professor Green (Lib. 3.2). It should be mentioned here that it was owing exclusively to the liberality of Isaac Winslow, of Portland, that Mr. Garrison was enabled to publish his Thoughts (Ms. Aug. 20. 1867, to Samuel May, Jr.） a moral victory was certain.

I suggested the enterprise to Arthur Tappan and the Rev. Peter Williams, of New York City, and they highly approved of it. The only difficulty is, the procurement of means wherewith to pay my travelling expenses. Mr. Williams said he could be responsible for $100, and I presume Mr. Tappan will be disposed tMr. Williams said he could be responsible for $100, and I presume Mr. Tappan will be disposed to contribute for the same purpose. Mr. Tappan thought I might do a great deal to promote education among colored children and youth, by addressing the people of color, giving them advice and encouragement, examining their schools, and endeavoring to establish others, &c., &c. Should I go on such a mission, (and I earnestly desire to prosecute it,) I shall aim first at the great cities, and thus have the pleasure of seeing my Philadelphia friends in the course of a few months.

Child, Loring and Sewall withholding their signatures from the perfected instrument. Their scruples could not long keep them aloof from a work in which their hearts were enlisted. At the monthly meeting in July, Mr. Sewall was appointed one of the Board of Managers to take the place of Mr. John Stimson, in August to succeed Mr. John S. Williams as Treasurer; and at the annual meeting in January, 1833, to succeed Mr. Garrison as Corresponding Secretary, while Messrs. Child and Loring were elected Counsellors. Mr. Sewall, however, only became a life member (by the payment of $15) in November, 1833 (Lib. 3.187). The twelve persons, all white, who accepted the preamble and affixed their names, were William Lloyd Garrison. Oliver Johnson, Robert B. Hall, Arnold Buffum, William J. Snelling, John E.

friend of colonization and Liberia, after reviewing the deplorable condition of the republic, concludes: We shall be wise if we accept the condition imposed upon us, and do not persist in crowding upon the shores of Liberia ship-loads of poor, ignorant, and improvident negro laborers, to die or to degenerate to a state very nearly approaching their original barbarism, in the vain hope that we shall thus evangelize Africa The Liberian republic as it is, by George R. Stetson, p. 26. Boston: A. Williams & Co. Further extracts will convey the general tenor of the Introductory Remarks. After alluding to his deliberate espousal of the anti-slavery cause, Mr. Garrison continues: In opposing the American Colonization Society, I have also Thoughts, p. 1. counted the cost, and as clearly foreseen the formidable opposition which will be arrayed against me.

Pastor of the Presbyterian Churches of Ripley and Strait Creek, Brown County, Ohio, of which the first edition was published at Ripley, in the latter State, in 1826. The letters themselves appear to have been written in 1824, when their author was about 31 years of age. Following the reprint in the Liberator, an edition in book form was put forth by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, and a fifth edition was published by Isaac Knapp as late as 1838. Still another edition bears the imprint of Charles Whipple, Newburyport, 1836. Mr. Garrison pronounced them among the most faithful and thrilling productions we have read on the subject of slavery. They were privately addressed by the writer to his brother, and are full of fraternal concern and tenderness, while unsparing in their exhibition of the essentially sinful, unchristian and cruel nature of slavery.

His Liberator editorials and this tremendous pamphlet at once struck the thinking minds of the country with wonderment and awe. Old politicians of both parties bit their lips, if they did not gnash their teeth, and, in the absence of any other defence, invoked the mob. It was in vain. The fire was kindled. When such men as the Tappans, Alvan Stewart, Gerrit Smith, General Fessenden, Theodore D. Weld, N. P. Rogers, President Storrs, Beriah Green, William Goodell, Joshua Leavitt, Amos A.
