The real and the spurious main questions thus came in conflict, and the spurious succeeded, as usual, by a dicker. See, for a review of the history of the first three gags, J. Q. Adams's letter to J. G. Alvord (Lib. 8.65); and, of the Atherton gag, Adams's letter to the citizens of the U. S. (Lib. 9.69), and Caleb Cushing's report to the people of Massachusetts (Lib. 9.13). The prohibition against reading the petitions contained in the Patton gag was dropped, probably for prudential reasons; but a subservient Speaker was ready to rule it present by implication, even to suppress a communication from a sovereign State (Lib. 9.30). It would have been strange if in all this action and reaction the Colonizationists should not have been encouraged to lift up their heads. Refreshed by the riot and arson in

Ante, p. 69. These extracts are taken from the second volume of Miss Martineau's Retrospect of Western Travel. I recommend to your notice her whole description of the man, which I think remarkably just. As Mr. Garrison is now absent to spend the summer in Connecticut, I shall suggest to the pro tem. editor of the Liberator to publish in the next Liberator Miss Martineau's Lib. 8.104. whole description of Mr. Garrison. I send also per mail the Prospectus to the 8th volume of the Liberator, and a poetical effusion entitled True Rest, which will give you some idea of his religious opinions and views of human government.

rk that I must finish what I have got to say, in a very few words; for this letter must be dropped into the post-office without delay. Mr. Quincy's adhesion to the new society was not long withheld. On Jan. 4, 1839, Mr. Garrison writes to Mr. May: I am anxious to know the precise state of your mind with regard to our Non-Resistance Society. Edmund Quincy and Robert F. Wallcut are now both members of our Executive Committee, and have arrived at clear satisfaction. In the meantime, as waslling to do anything that may, even indirectly, tend to their support.

Hallowell, No. 240 North Sixth St., where the Junior Anti-Slavery Society had gathered to meet Henry C. Wright. About two o'clock the next morning (May 18) a covered carriage was driven to the door, into which he got and was spirited away. Joseph Parrish, Jr., Israel H. Johnson, and Robert Purvis bore the chief part in this deliverance. The mob violence continued for several days, and ended, as usual, by alarming the respectable sympathizers with it ( History of Pennsylvania Hall, p. 141; Lib. 8.87). Awful as is this occurrence in Philadelphia, it will do incalculable good to our cause; for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
