I think I never saw a more intelligent and highly cultivated audience, more ability guided by the best taste on a platform, more deep, practical interest, on any occasion. It took me completely by surprise; and the women were the ablest speakers, too. You would have laughed, as we used to do in 1840, to hear dear Lucretia Mott answer me. I had presumed to differ from her, and assert that the cause would meet more immediate and palpable and insulting opposition from women than men—and scolded them for it. She put, as she so well knows how, the silken snapper on to her whiplash, and proceeded to give me the gentlest and yet most cutting rebuke.

You will, I think, be greatly edified by some of the speeches, particularly with Ichabod Bartlett's, a Portsmouth Whig and the most able lawyer in the State, and also with Chas. G. Atherton's, of gag-rule memory, and Senator Norris's, Ante, 2: 247-249. who arrested Geo. Storrs while praying in a pulpit.

tanding that the claim should be enforced in conformity to and in coincidence with the known and established principles of her own Constitution. Charles Francis Adams, who presided, and Richard H. Dana, Jr., who offered the resolutions, called for the instant repeal, at the next session of Congress, of a measure both unconstitutional and repugnant to the moral sense, and promised to help defend the colored people, whom they advised to remain. Ten days before, at Belknap-Street Church, this Oct. 4, 1850. class of citizens had resolved to arm, and to resist the kidnapper to the death. Mr. Garrison, while Lib. 20.162. admonishing them that fugitives would be more indebted to the moral power of public sentiment than to any display of physical resistance, yet bade them be consistent with their own principles.

Thompson's welcome, clearly, was to come, now as before, from the abolitionists alone.

Palfrey at the Free Soil Convention held in Faneuil Hall Lib. 20.38. on February 27, 1850, he answered by computing from the latest census of Kentucky that, out of se-half the population of Boston in this year of Lib. 20.183. compromise, reaction, and violence. We have sought in vain to discover the common data upon which Palfrey and Jay relied. There has never been a Kentucky State census, nor is any document known to the Auditor's Department which gives any clue to the number of slavehoated the total number at 347,525, or, excluding the hirers of slaves, 186,551. This would make an average holding of 17, whereas the Kentucky average reported to Palfrey and Jay was 22, and seemed too low to apply to the South at large, as the size of gangs increased going Gulfward (Lib. 20: 38).

In fact, John Pierpont having presented such, Dr. Parkman Rev. Francis Parkman. gave as chairman a casting vote to lay them on the table, though avowing his willingness to harbor fugitives.

Nevertheless, the resolutions were called up and passed, and other religious conventions Lib. 20.166, 178. took a similar stand, and the new phase of the old moral issue began again the work of dividing the denominations and plunging the pulpit into politics.

d you God-speed, women of Massachusetts and New England, in this good work! Whenever your convention shall meet, and wherever it shall be, I shall endeavor to be there, to forward so good, so glorious a movement. Mr. Garrison kept his word. He signed the call headed Lib. 20.142. by Lucy Stone, he attended the Convention, addressed it, Lib. 20.181; Proceedings of Woman's Rights Convention (Boston, 1851). and was placed on sundry important committees.
