forbidding judges and justices to take part in the capture Lib. 13.34. of fugitive slaves, and sheriffs, jailors, and constables to detain them. The Governor of Vermont recommended a Lib. 13.170. similar measure. Maine rejected it, as being tantamount Lib. 13.65. to disunion; but imitated Massachusetts in appointing an agent tsert that the people of the free States ought not to submit to it, but we say, with confidence, they would not submit to it. William Slade, elected Governor of Vermont in 1844, discussed annexation at great length in his message to the Legislature, saying: Upon the consummation of the threatened measure, I do not hesitate to say that it would be the duty of Vermont to declare her unalterable determination to have no connection with the new Union, thus formed without her consent and against her will. To carry out this determination would not be to dissolve the Union, but to refuse to submit to its dissolution—not to nullify, but to resist nullification (L

Garrison returned to his editorial duties in the latter part of January, 1843, but his health Lib. 13.10. was far from restored. He struggled on till June, when a mysterious distress in the left side again caused him Ms. Apr. 15, 1843, W. L. G. to G. W. Benson. grave apprehensions that he had not long to live. His latest residence in Cambridgeport, though very healthfully situated, was associated with an extraordinary amount of sickness and fatality. As the lease would expire on July 1, it was decided to remove for the summer to the country, and no place offered such attractions as the Community at Northampton, Mass. This was the third of those original experiments by which Massachusetts, as J. H. Noyes says, appears to have anticipated the advent of Fourierism, and to have prepared herself for or against the rush of French id

emblance of the people's approbation, to imbrue their hands in blood for wicked conquest and the perpetuation and propagation of slavery, then I say to you my constituents, as I said to the young men of Boston: Burnish your armor—prepare for conflict—and, in the language of Galgacus to the ancient Britons, think of your forefathers—think of your posterity! （Lib. 14: 182.) Compare the position taken by Josiah Quincy in the House of Representatives, speaking to the bill for the admission of Louisiana, Jan. 14, 1811: I am compelled to declare it as my deliberate opinion that, if this bill passes, the bonds of this Union are virtually dissolved; that the States which compose it are free from their moral obligations, and that, as it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some, to prepare definitely for a separation—amicably if they can, violently if they must ( Life of Josiah Quincy, p. 206). So Judge Jay, about to sail for Europe, wrote to Gerrit Smith: Rather than be in

ent reason why it should be in at all, or why it should be in the place where it is. I suppose this is often caused by your selecting articles with a view to connect remarks of your own with them, which afterwards in your haste you omit. Then we complain that each paper is not so nearly a complete work in itself as it might be made, but that things are often left at loose ends, and important matters broken off in the middle. I assure you, brother Harriman is not the Jesse P. Harriman, of Danvers, Mass. only one of the friends of the Liberator who grieve over your more anon and more next week which anon and next week never arrive. This continuation from one number to another is, of course, sometimes unavoidable, but surely should be done as seldom as possible, and never proposed without being performed. Then we complain that your editorials are too often wanting, or else such, from apparent haste, as those who love your fame cannot wish to see; that important topics, which you

and socialism also diverted many. In June, Mr. Garrison attended as a spectator two meetings, in the Chardon-Street Chapel, for the discussion of the questions pertaining to the reorganization of society and the rights of property, Lib. 13.91. in which Collins took a leading part. He heard nothing which attracted him to the doctrines advocated. On Dec. 16, 1843, Mr. Garrison wrote to H. C. Wright in Dublin (Ms.): John A. Collins is almost entirely absorbed in his Community project at Skaneateles, and is therefore unable to do much directly for the antislavery cause. He goes for a community of interest, and against all individual possessions, whether of land or its fruits—of labor or its products; but he does not act very consistently with his principles, though he says he does the best he can in the present state of society. He holds, with Robert Owen, that man is the creature of circumstances, and therefore not deserving of praise or blame for what he does—a most absurd and de

not persuaded of their poetical merit (Lib. 13.71). The Northampton Community had chosen a beautiful site on Mill River, some two or three miles from the town, in the suburb now known as Florence and as a great manufacturing centre. Mr. Garrison's delight in the natural scenery of the Connecticut Valley was shared for a week in August by N. P. Rogers, with whom he Lib. 13.131, 146; Ms. Aug. 12, 1843, Rogers to F. Jackson. drove in a gig on both sides of the river from Greenfield to Springfield. Shortly afterwards an accident occurred which sadly marred the pleasure of the sojourn at the Community. In watering his horse at a wayside brook, Mr. Garrison, by some maladroitness, upset his wife, with Lib. 13.135, 154. her three-year-old boy in her arms, and her aged mother, who all narrowly escaped drowning. Anne Weston says: It was Garrison's vain attempt to show how well he could drive. It may be well enough to talk about every man his own priest, but every man his own driver

No! the people of the United States will never sanction the annexation of Texas, unless under the delusion of such fables as the Erving treaty [Lib. 14: 165, 169, 182] ; and if the faction of its inventor, invested with the power of tUnited States will never sanction the annexation of Texas, unless under the delusion of such fables as the Erving treaty [Lib. 14: 165, 169, 182] ; and if the faction of its inventor, invested with the power of the nation, should consummate the nefarious scheme, by the semblance of the people's approbation, to imbrue their hands in blood for wicked conquest and the perpetuation and propagation of slavery, then I say to you my constituents, as I said to the young men of Boston: Burnish your armor—prepare for conflict—and, in the language of Galgacus to the ancient Britons, think of your forefathers—think of your posterity! （Lib. 14: 182.)

Dedham, November 6, 1843. Ms. I have sent in to you my concluding article on Leavitt, See the whole series of articles, discussing anew the embezzlement of the Emancipator, in which Quincy had the help of D. L. Child, and compelled notice at the hands of Leavitt, Torrey, Elizur Wright, and Lewis Tappan (Lib. 13: 165, 169, 170, 171, 174, 179, 185, 201). The Whig papers eagerly copied the attacks on their Liberty Party opponents, who all in turn had a hearing in the Liberator, though Quincy's arraignments were carefully excluded from the Emancipator (Ms. Nov. 27, 1843, Quincy to R. D. Webb). which Lib. 13.179. I hope will meet with your gracious approbation. This, I Joshua Leavitt. presume, will terminate my editorial labors for the present, and I gladly resign my share of the vice-regal throne to its legitimate possessor. I congratulate you, and all the friends of the cause at the same time, upon your restoration to health and your ancient occupation. May you live long

rrison's vain attempt to show how well he could drive. It may be well enough to talk about every man his own priest, but every man his own driver is another thing (Ms. Aug. 24, 1843, W. Phillips to E. Pease). Mrs. Garrison's right arm was dislocated at the elbow, but was maltreated by an ignorant doctor as if broken, so that weeks of suffering ensued till the limb could be set. This was made the occasion of special visits to Dr. Stephen Sweet, Lib. 13.171. the famous bone-setter, at Franklin, Conn., who succeeded in the difficult operation, though a subsequent dislocation of the same joint was carried through life. By the end of October the family had returned to Boston, occupying a new house on Pine Street, with Oliver Johnson and his No. 13. wife as welcome co-tenants. The Liberator, all this time, had been supplied editorially by several friends—by Quincy and Mrs. Chapman above all—with no loss to the readers of the paper.

Community at Northampton, Mass. This was the third of those original experiments by which Massachusetts, as J. H. Noyes says, appears to have anticipated the advent of Fourierism, and to have prepstions with associated action, and do not apprehend that this false policy will be pushed in Massachusetts. Of this episode no detailed report remains. See Lib. 13: 19. Church and state were nfringement of the Constitution, the progress of disunion was considerable in the year 1843. Massachusetts passed, in Lib. 13.55. answer to the Latimer petition, a Personal Liberty Act forbidding juilar measure. Maine rejected it, as being tantamount Lib. 13.65. to disunion; but imitated Massachusetts in appointing an agent to protect the State's colored seamen in Southern Lib. 13.45, 50, 74ress on this subject elicited a report from the Committee on Commerce (Robert C.
