Be not startled when I say that a belief in Jesus is no evidence of goodness (hisses); no, friends. Voice—Yes it is. Mr. Garrison—Our friend says yes; my position is no. It is worthless as a test, for the reason I have already assigned in reference to the other tests. His praises are sung in Louisiana, Alabama, and the other Southern States just as well as in Massachusetts. Captain Rynders—Are you aware that the slaves in the South have their prayer-meetings in honor of Christ? Mr. Garrison—Not a slaveholding or a slave-breeding Jesus. (Sensation.) The slaves believe in a Jesus that strikes off chains. In this country, Jesus has become obsolete. A profession in him is no longer a test. Who objects to his course in Judaea?

Senator Sumner estimated that, altogether, as many as 6sons—a larger band than that of the escaping Puritans —precipitately fled from homes which they had established, to British soil. In February, 1851, it was reported that One hundred members of the Baptist Colored Church in Buffalo have gone to Canada. A large number of the Methodist Church, in the same place, have also left for a land of freedom. Out of one hundred and fourteen members of the Baptist Colored Church in Rochester, one hundred and twelve, including the pastor, have crossed th

posed assemblage of traitors. As for one of the heralded orators for this Anniversary, the black Douglass, who, at the Syracuse Convention in January, Ante. p. 281. had invoked immediate disunion, and alleged that Washington, Jefferson, and Patrick Henry were strangers to any just idea of Liberty—This was uttered, says a contemporary, and no hand was raised to fell the speaker to the earth! But, added the Globe, if this Douglass shall re-proclaim his Syracuse treason here, and any man shallhe found it was somebody else's. Nat. A. S. Standard, 10.199. Now you can speak, said he to Douglass; Nat. A. S. Standard, 10.202; N. Y. Herald, May 8, 1850. but mind what I say: if you speak disrespectfully [of the South, or Washington, or Patrick Henry] Ill knock you off the stage. Nothing daunted, the ex-fugitive from greater terrors began: The gentleman who has just spoken has undertaken to prove that the blacks are not human beings. He has examined our whole conformation, from top

But Mr. Garrison's prediction to Father Mathew that violence and Ante, p. 256. lawlessness would stalk the land in 1850 as in 1835, had been fulfilled; and the end was not yet. A pleasurable reminder of the earlier epoch was contained in the subjoined letter, from the author of The martyr age of the United States, which crossed the ocean almost simultaneously with Thompson: Harriet Martineau to W. L. Garrison. The Knoll, Ambleside, October 23d, 1850. Ms. my dear friend: This is just to say that if you should ere long receive £10 by the hands of my friend Ellis Gray Loring, I hope you will accept it for the Liberator, as my very humble offering in your great cause. I don't know for certain that you will get it. That depends on whether I get properly paid by an American publishing firm. I have no reason whatever to doubt their doing their duty by me. It is only that, somehow or other, such payments se

qual resolution to be the chief magistrate of the whole country, with at least equal independence of party. His course justified Stephen A. Douglas's warning that his election boded no good to the Ante, p. 238. Slave Power's schemes of expansion, for which, nevertheless, as a soldier, he had fought the war with Mexico. His Ante, p. 274; Lib. 20.114. attitude towards the grasping designs of Texas on New Mexico, and repression of the Southern filibustering Lib. 19.14, 136; 20.114. against Cuba; his recommendation that California be Lib. 20.116. admitted a free State without conditions—dismayed the Southern extremists, and caused the anti-slavery North to regard his death as a calamity. It is incredible, however, that Taylor would not have signed the Fugitive Slave Bill. All we can say is, that he was fated not to have the opportunity, and that Douglas's prophecy again came true in the case of his successor, when the North (nominally) got the man, and the South Ante, p. 238. g

Daniel Webster's incredible 7th of March speech, in Lib. 20.42, 43, 45. wholesale support of the Compromise, carried dismay to the Conscience Whigs, who had built their hopes of him on random utterances disconnected by any logic of principle or behavior, and infused by no warmth of heart or ray of pity for the slave. True, he had said at Marshfield, Lib. 20.47; Webster's Works, 2.437. in September, 1842: We talk of the North. There has for a long time been no North. I think the North Star is at last discovered; I think there will be a North exhibiting a strong, conscientious, and united opposition to slavery. True, he had said in New York in March, 1837, during the Texas excitement: The subject [of slavery] has not only attracted attention as Webster's Works, 1.357; Lib. 20.193. a question of politics, but it has struck a

n who put down an abolition meeting one day, may themselves be put down to-morrow. . . . It was not, continued the Ledger, an offence against the abolitionists that the mob comemitted when they broke up Garrison's meeting, but an offence against the Constitution, against the Union, against the people, against popular rights and the great cause of human freedom. As such, every republican must denounce it. So did the Quaker poet of Massachusetts: John G. Whittier to W. L. Garrison. Amesbury, 13th 5th mo., 1850. Ms., and Lib. 20:[79]. dear friend Garrison: I have just laid down a New York paper giving the disgraceful details of the outrage upon Free Speech at your late meeting in New York; and I cannot resist the inclination to drop a line to thee, expressive of my hearty sympathy with thee in this matter. We have not always thought alike in respect to the best means of promoting the anti-slavery cause, and perhaps we differ quite as widely now as ever; but when the right
