Finally, amid all these phases of opinion, a revolution was taking place which is thus described in a letter of Edmund Quincy's to R. D. Webb: I am told that Garrison's opinions, as well as Rogers's, have Ms. Nov. 27, 1843. been greatly modified of late with regard to the Bible.

As a man I rejoice at his progress, but I don't know whether I do as an abolitionist. It was so convenient to be able to reply to those who were calling him infidel, that he believed as much as anybody, and swallowed the whole Bible in a lump, from Genesis to Revelation, both inc

through four pages flows Ere one is packed with tight-screwed prose, Threading the tube of an epistle Smooth as a child's breath through a whistle. The great attraction now of all Is the ‘Bazaar’ at Faneuil Hall, Where swarm the Anti-Slavery folks As thick, dear Miller, as your jokes. There's Garrison, his features very Benign for an incendiary, Beaming forth sunshine through his glasses On the surrounding lads and lasses, (No bee could blither be or brisker,)— A Pickwick somehow turned John Ziska, His bump of firmness swelling up Like a rye cupcake from its cup. And there, too, was his English tea-set, Which in his ear a kind of flea set, His Uncle Samuel for its beauty Demanding sixty dollars duty, ('T was natural Sam should serve his trunk ill, For G., you know, has cut his uncle,) Whereas, had he but once made tea in it, His uncle's ear had had the flea in it, There being not a cent of duty On any pot that ever drew tea. The tea-set was appraised at £ 40. Mr. Garrison's pro

Wendell [Phillips] has, if possible, surpassed himself—he is so ready, so eloquent, so morally true, so sublimely great, that I know not what we should do without him. He is really one of the best and noblest specimens of humanity in this world. he attended the fall meeting of the Pennsylvania Lib. 19.170. Anti-Slavery Society. He wrote freely in the

Ante, p. 131. On the sixth of May, Mr. Garrison set out for New Monday. York to attend the anniversary of the American Anti-Slavery Society. The air was full of coming violence, of which a truly Satanic Scotchman, James Gordon Bennett, editor of the New York Herald, was the prime invoker. He began on April 30 by charging the religious and Lib. 20.73. philanthropic societies, indiscriminately, that held regular annual meetings in New York, and which were all of one side of thinking in regard to slavery, with having brought the country to the brink of a dissolution o

Moreover, said Mr. Foster: I am willing to encounter mobs if necessary; but if we can accomplish the same object without it, as I think we can in this case, I prefer it rather. Syracuse was, in fine, selected by the Executive Committee when no hall was found to be obtainable in New Lib. 21.59. York or Brooklyn; and Mr. Garrison, accompanied by his Ms. Apr. 20, 1851, S. J.

When we turn to the political opposition to the Slave Power, we behold a woful spiritual falling off caused by the approaching election.
