ept. 16, 1852. Ms. In being at your rescue anniversary on the 1st of October, I was hoping to be able to kill two stones with one bird (as some one has said, in Ireland or out of it),—i. e., to make it incidental to my visit to Pennsylvania, to attend the annual meeting of the State A. S. Society; but as that meeting has been postponed from the first week in October to the last, I shall not be able to carry that plan into effect. I am hesitating, therefore, whether to be with you on the 1st. My presence, with the amount of talent you will not fail to have present on the occasion, can certainly be of no special value; and as the distance and the expense are both considerable (the latter being the most weighty consideration), my conclusion is, that I had better send a letter to be read to the meeting, and abandon the idea of being on the ground bodily. . . . My spirit is exulting in view of the successful proceedings of the Woman's Rights Convention in your city. This is the

after what I have written. The panic greatly crippled the regular operations of the anti-slavery societies, and forced a reduction of expenditures in all their departments. Mr. Garrison's support was naturally rendered more precarious than ever, while some special burdens were laid upon him. In the just-quoted letter to Mr. May, he wrote: After a wasting sickness of nine months duration (more than six of which were passed under my roof), my aunt Charlotte saw the last of earth on the 2d inst. I rejoice that I was able to give her every attention, and to do all in my power to relieve and save her; but her illness has thrown upon me a heavy pecuniary load,—some hundreds of dollars additional. Charlotte E. Newell; Lib. 27.163. Mrs. Newell was the youngest and much loved sister of Fanny Lloyd. On her losing her employment in 1854, Mr. Garrison wrote to his widowed relative, offering her a Ms. Apr. 7, 1854. home for the remainder of her days. While I have a place to shelter m

Scoble (May?), 1841, to Collins. they had given to Colver's libel. W. L. Garrison to Elizabeth Pease, Darlington, England. Boston, March 1, 1841. Ms. I am very much obliged to you for your letter by the Britannia, and do not regret, on the whole, that bro. Collins has concluded to remain until the sailing of the steamer of the 4th inst., though I trust he will not miss coming at that time, for his presence here now is indispensable. In whatever he has been called to encounter, on your side of the Atlantic, by the evil spirit that reigns there, as well as here, in the anti-slavery ranks, I deeply sympathize with him. The attempt of Nathaniel Colver to injure his character is exciting among all the true-hearted friends of our cause among us an intense feeling of indignation and abhorrence; and in the sequel it will be sur

the vile that I have ever witnessed on any occasion or under any circumstances; venerable men, claiming to be holy men, the ambassadors of Jesus Christ, losing all self-respect and transforming themselves into the most unmannerly and violent spirits, merely on account of the sex of the individual who wished to address the assembly. On October 3, Mr. Garrison began a tour to the West Lib. 23.158. with special reference to Michigan. Cleveland was his first halting-place, for there, on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of the month, the fourth National Woman's Rights Convention was to be held. He served on the business committee and was among the speakers, the nine sessions passing off Hist. Woman Suffrage, 1.125, 136; Lib. 23.174, 182. with no sign of popular displeasure, though not without clerical disturbance. Joseph Barker, having maintained that the Bible was opposed to woman's rights and was therefore to be got rid of (Lib. 23: 174), was fallen foul of as an infidel and a renegade p

dropathy, and animal magnetism to add to the list. The rest of us, however, Lib. 14.35; ante, p. 71. are inclined to hope that Dr. Warren knows as much about the matter as any of these new lights, and that Garrison may get over it. He is now at Northampton, with Geo. Benson, his wife's brother, at a Community to which Prof. Adam belongs. He Ante, 2.353. went there for rest, and the way he rests himself is to lecture Lib. 13.111, 117, 118. every night in the neighboring towns, and on Sundays in Northampton in the open air! D. L. Child, however, who took Boston in his way to New York to take the Standard, reports that he Lib. 13.123. looks well and seems well, with the exception of his enemy in the chest. He is also engaged, or is to be, in making selections Lib. 13.31. for the volume of his works. I hope he will have grace to select the best and to omit the mediocre. Literary taste, however, is not his forte. I wish he had left the selections to Mrs. Chapman. When Carolin

Browne A lawyer, originally of Salem, Mass., at this time of Boston; a classmate and most intimate friend at Harvard of Charles Sumner (Lib. 30: 71, 90, 91; Pierce's Life of Sumner, 2: 294). and Theodore Parker; with supplementary ones by Charles K. Whipple. George W. Benson presided over the two days session in the Melodeon—an ill-lighted hall used on week-days for secular entertainments, and on Sundays by Mr. Parker's congregation as their meeting-house. The orthodox religious press, as represented by the Boston Recorder, voted Charles C. Burleigh the ablest speaker, yet added: The most influential speaker, whose dictates, whether opposed or not, swayed the whole course of things, was the redoubtable Garrison himself. At every turn in the business, his hand grasped the steering-oar; and, let his galley-slaves row with what intent they would, he guided all things at his will. Lib. 18.53

r husband's recovery could positively be announced. On October 4 he was able to Lib. 17.162. dictate letters, but was still confined to his bed, which he Ms. Oct. 17, 1847, Thos. McClintock to W. L. G. did not leave till October 13. On the following day he was joined by Henry C. Wright, who had returned from Europe in September, and, hearing in Boston first on Lib. 17.151, 174. October 8 of his friend's condition, had travelled as fast as the elements would permit to his bedside. On the 18th the sick man, after five weeks of prostration, during which his life had hung in the balance, was able to drive out. Lib. 17.175. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Cleveland, Oct. 19, 1847. Ms. I am going to try to write you a few lines, with my own hand, as Paul says; but whether I shall succeed, or not, is at least problematical. My hand is unsteady, and I am too weak as yet to make an effort of any kind without considerable difficulty. The arrival in Cleveland of dear H. C. Wri

riends round about. There is, in consequence of that perplexing matter, a large company of comers-out upon the anxious seat, waiting, watching, and wishing it ended somehow or other. But you will doubtless ask me how? I cannot answer: I don't know the facts, nor have I light or time or opportunity to get them; and yet I am just reckless enough in the dark to advise you, who know all, to do what lieth in you to have this matter settled without delay, and before your convention meets on the 20th. You have made many and heavy sacrifices, and I cannot find it in me to ask you to add to that long catalogue, and I hope it may not be necessary. It may be you cannot control it, but I beg that all your influence be given to [that end]. I have urged our noble friend G. to go up [as] soon as possible, Garrison. and I hope he will,—and so has Quincy, Phillips, Mrs. Chapman, and others,—to see all, hear all, and, if it be possible, settle all. We all intend to go up to the convention this

G. when you write, and believe us very affectionately yours, Ann and Wendell Phillips. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Richfield, Ohio, Aug. 25, 1847. Lib. 17.146. Our great anniversary meeting closed at New Lyme on Ms. wanting, but the letter certainly belongs in the home series. Friday, the 20th instant. The discussions of the last day were of a spirited character, and up to the last hour the audience was immense. We adjourned at half-past 2 o'clock, P. M., and were then busily engaged for some time in shaking hands and bidding farewell to a host of friends. When the dense mass moved off in their long array of vehicles, dispersing in every direction to their several homes, some a distance of ten, others of twenty, others of forty, others of eighty, and others of a hundred miles, it wa

Noteworthy in this connection is a poster seen in the streets of Glasgow in November, 1850, which ran thus: Fugitive Slave Bill and manhood Suffrage.—A great public meeting of Working Men and others friendly to Slave Emancipation, and a just measure of Political Reform in the British House of Commons, will be held in the City Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 26th inst., when resolutions will be submitted condemnatory of Slavery and the Fugitive Slave Bill, recently become law in the United States, and also against an Exclusive Suffrage in this country. The order of topics recalls the subsequent attitude of the Lancashire cotton-operatives during our civil war—Freedom first for America, employment then for ourselves. See, for reports of the Glasgow meeting, with its appeal to the workingmen of America, Lib. 21: 5. Otis was dead and Sprague dumb; but all
