ax of Southern mendacity and folly. My contempt of it is unutterable. Nothing but my own death, or a want of patronage, shall stop the Liberator. When the Southern papers call him hostis humani generis, a fiendish editor, the apologist of the blacks in the recent Virginia insurrection, he replies: Although I preach submission to Lib. 1.166. the slaves, still I am denounced as a monster. Do the planters wish me to inculcate a revengeful doctrine? In October the corporation of Georgetown, D. C., passed Lib. 1.171. a law prohibiting any free person of color from taking the Liberator from the post-office, under pain of twenty dollars' fine or thirty days imprisonment; and if fine and jail fees were not paid, directing such person to be sold as a slave for four months. It was one of the functions of the Liberator to remind them that this law was unconstitutional, and that they must be prepared to answer for their conduct before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Lib. 1.81. actually took possession of it and let it (the deacons being reenforced by a constable), and in all the churches provided negro pews in remote corners of the building. In the old Baptist meeting-house at Hartford, Conn., the negro pews were boarded up in front, so that only peep-holes gave an outlook (Lib. 1.129); truly a human menagerie (Lib. 1.87). In Stoughton, Mass., the floor was cut from under a colored member's pew by the church authorities (Mrs. Child's Oasis, p. 54).

Thanks be to God, that resolution grows loftier with time, and sinks its base deeper and broader as danger approximates. The following letters infuse new blood into my veins. Two of these letters were anonymous, and fairly Lib. 1.145. illiterate; the first, from Princeton, N. J., perhaps written by a Southern student, being an incoherent stream of vulgar profanity, introduced by You d——d scoundrel, and containing rather predictions than threats, as, Hell is gaping for you! the devil is feasting in anticipation! The second was signed A Freeman, and purported to be written by a Washington slaveholder. Your paper, sir, it began, cannot be much longer tolerated. . . .

The proposed college was to combine the usual literary courses with instruction in the mechanic arts, agriculture and horticulture; and New Haven was selected because of its existing educational advantages, as well as on account of its trade with the West Indies, in the British portion of which emancipation was evidently Lib. 1.169. impending. Mr. Tappan had purchased land for the proposed building, and had agreed at the outset to contribute one thousand dollars out of ten which the white friends of the institution should provide; and the Philadelphia Convention was depended upon to raise another ten thousand among the colored people. No opposition was dreamed of. Indeed, Mr. Garrison wrote Lib. 1.98. from New Haven that, thanks to Mr. J

if I cannot do much, in this quarter, towards abolishing slavery, I may be able to elevate our free colored population in the scale of society. Exceptions to this acclamation were not wanting in the writer's native New England, whose time-serving, Lib. 1.18. unprincipled and heartless editors were prompt to denounce his violent and intemperate attacks on slaveholders, and his mawkish sentimentality. That transplanted New Englander, George D. Prentice, newly put in charge of the Louisville (Ky.) Journal, wrote in his issue of January 25: Mr. Garrison knows that we Lib. 1.27. are his personal friend, and that we regard him as one of the ablest writers and warmest philanthropists of the age; but, after all, some of his opinions with regard to slavery in the United States are no better than lunacy.

, sacred as the persons of kings. He exhorted them, further, wherever they were allowed to vote, to have their names put on the poll-list and to go to the polls, voting for those friendly to their cause, and, if possible, for intelligent and respectable men of their own color. They should, besides, exercise constantly their right of petition—if your prayer is refused seven times, send it seventy times seven. All thought of colonizing themselves as a people, whether in Africa, Hayti, Upper Canada, or elsewhere, should be abandoned, and every intelligent man won over by the Colonization Society be regarded as a traitor to their cause—not losing sight, however, of a just discrimination among the supporters of that Society: Of the Address before Free People of Color, June, 1831, p. 23. benevolent and disinterested intentions of many individuals, especially in the free States, we ought not to doubt.

n, May 25, 1874. In my blindness I adopted Dr. Beecher's preposterous figure of speech, as applied to the first day of the week, that the Sabbath is the moral sun of the universe, and so logically predicted that chaos would come again if it were blotted out—i.e., not observed in an orthodox fashion—a fashion, however, not according to Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, or any of the great lights of the Reformation, of which fact I was then ignorant. Dr. Beecher's use of this figure, however, at Pittsburgh, in the summer of 1836, called forth a protest from Mr. Garrison against such extravagant and preposterous language (Lib. 6.118). earth would resemble hell. With the Puritan respect for Sabbath eve he notices what he believes to be the first instance of opening a ball in Boston on Saturday evening, hopes it will be the last, and calls it an Lib. 1.47. outrage . . . upon the moral sense of this community.

Mercury of October 4 reported that a Vigilance Association of Columbia, composed of gentlemen of the first respectability, had offered a reward of fifteen hundred dollars for the apprehension and prosecution to conviction of any white person circulating the Liberator or Walker's pamphlet, or any other publication of seditious tendency. Similar action was taken at a public meeting in Bethesda Lib. 1.174. (Richmond Co.), Georgia. In the first week of the same month there reached the post-office at Raleigh, N. C., a copy of the Liberator containing the most illiberal and Lib. 1.171. coldblooded allusions to the late supposed insurrection among our slaves (one of the baseless frights engendered everywhere by Turner's outbreak); and, the Grand Jury being then in session, the Attorney-General submitted an indictment against William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp, for the circulation and publication of
