s new organization Bishop Matthew Simpson was made President, and Mr. Garrison First Vice-President, Mr. McKim being the Corresponding Secretary of the Eastern Department. Its object was to promote the education and elevation of the Freedmen, and to cooperate to this end with the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, which had been established early in the year by Congress, with General O. O. Howard as Chief Commissioner. Later in the month Mr. Garrison and Mr. McKim visited Maine in behalf of the Commission, holding large meetings and forming auxiliary associations in Portland and Bangor. At Portland, Mr. Garrison's early antagonist, John Neal (ante, 1: 99, 383), entered heartily into the movement. Mr. Garrison and I used to have some hot contests, said Mr. Neal. Who was wrong and who was right? asked Governor Israel Washburne. I was wrong; said Mr. Neal, frankly, and Mr. Garrison was right (Lib. 35: 174). As the autumn advanced, the treasury of the Liberator

ng held, and declaring himself a co-worker with the great multitude now in favor of freedom and equality, increased the weight and influence in public estimation which his conduct during the previous year had secured him. He absented himself (as did Edmund Quincy and Samuel May, Jr.) from the sessions of the New England Convention in Boston, and delivered in Providence, the May 31. following day, an address on the assassination of June 1. President Lincoln, before the Union League of Rhode Island. In this he candidly reviewed Mr. Lincoln's course on the Lib. 35.108. slavery question, from the time of his election until his death, exposing its fluctuations and inconsistencies, yet recognizing also the vast difficulties by which he was surrounded, and paying a just and discriminating tribute to his lofty traits of character—this man of absolute faith in the people, sound judgment, ready tact, abiding cheerfulness, inflexible perseverance, large common sense, strong powers of reaso

Stacy of Milford, Mass., and subsequently (1885) returned by him to Mr. Garrison's family. How many days and nights have I wearily bent over it in getting ready the paper for prompt publication! wrote Mr. Garrison to Mr. Stacy (Ms. Oct. 23, 1878). What a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence it was to all the enemies of emancipation! to insert it in the vacant place awaiting it.

In almost every city he was the recipient of courtesies and attentions from old and new friends; beyond Michigan all was new to him, and he saw Chicago and the Nov. 16-20. Mississippi River (at Quincy) for the first time. Unexpected Nov. 22. glimpses of George Thompson (also on a Western lecture tour), at Detroit, and Gerrit Smith, at Chicago, were among the pleasant incidents of the journey. At Princeton, Illinois, he paid his respects to the widow and children Nov. 20. of Owen Lovejoy, and at Springfield was the guest of W. H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, with whom he visited Nov. 26. the tomb of the martyr-President. On his return journey he travelled with members of Congress on their way to Washington for the opening of the new session. I am constantly urging the importance of not admitting any of the rebel States into the Union until a longer probation, he wrote to his wife, and fin

, the Rebellion, Slavery, etc. The remainder of June and the whole of July he spent quietly at Rockledge, At the end of August, 1864, the Garrison family left the house in Dix Place which they had occupied for eleven years, and removed to Roxbury, where a pleasant frame house, situated on high ground near the old Roxbury fort of Revolutionary days, was purchased. A picturesque ledge of rocks adjoined the estate, which consisted of nearly half an acre of ground, and the whole region was Roxbury fort of Revolutionary days, was purchased. A picturesque ledge of rocks adjoined the estate, which consisted of nearly half an acre of ground, and the whole region was one of much natural beauty. The house, which was soon christened Rockledge, was elevated by terraces thirty feet above Highland street, and had abundance of air and sunlight, which the surrounding foliage in no wise interrupted, while the upper windows commanded extensive views of the harbor and country. The change from city life was beneficial not on sanitary grounds alone. The distance from town (a half-hour's ride by horse-car) was sufficient to check the constant stream of callers and vi

See Lib. 35.133.

nd who was right? asked Governor Israel Washburne. I was wrong; said Mr. Neal, frankly, and Mr. Garrison was right (Lib. 35: 174). As the autumn advanced, the treasury of the Liberator again ran low, and, in order to replenish it and enable him to carry the paper to the end of the year, the editor reluctantly left his post and undertook a lecture tour in the West, which occupied five weeks and absorbed the month of November and the first week of December. The trip, which began at Lockport, N. Y., was a hard and Nov. 2. exhausting one for Mr. Garrison. He gave his lecture (a two hours discourse on The Past, Present, and Future of Our Country) from four to six times each week, and suffered both from hoarseness and ophthalmia; but he lost no appointment, and had the satisfaction of earning fifteen hundred dollars—more than his year's salary—in a single month.

many thoughts are stirred That sister of the past! The present number of the Liberator is the completion of its thirty-fifth volume, and the termination of its existence. Commencing my editorial career when only twenty years of age, I have followed it continuously till I have attained my sixtieth year—first, in connection with the Free Press, in Newburyport, in the spring of 1826; next, with the National Philanthropist, in Boston, in 1827; next, with the Journal of the Times, in Bennington, Vt., in 1828-9; next, with the Genius of Universal Emancipation, in Baltimore, in 1829-30; and, finally, with the Liberator, in Boston, from the 1st of January, 1831, to the 1st of January, 1866;—at the start, probably the youngest member of the editorial fraternity in the land, now, perhaps, the oldest, not in years, but in continuous service,—unless Mr. Bryant, of the New York Evening Post, be an exception. Whether I shall again be connected with the press, in a similar capacity, is qu<
