It is edited by an individual who formerly lived at Baltimore, where his feelings have been exasperated by some occurrences con In December the prison confessions of Nat Turner were printed in Baltimore in an edition of fifty thousand copies, whereupon Mr. Garrison add citizenship like those which he delivered on his way North from Baltimore jail; or like that address in Boston (December 10, 1830) for whic

The mission of the Liberator was thus set forth on the first page in a salutatory address: To the public. In the month of August, I issued proposals for publishing The Liberator in Washington City; but the enterprise, though hailed in different sections of the country, was palsied by public indifference. Since that time, the removal of the Genius of Universal Emancipation to the Seat of Government has rendered less imperious the establishment of a similar periodical in that quarter. During my recent tour for the purpose of exciting the minds of the people by a series of discourses on the subject of slavery, every place that I visited gave fresh evidence of the fact, that a gr

We hoped that his good sense would ere long withdraw him even from the side of abolitionists. Journals further south were sparing of compliments. The Camden (S. C.) Journal, edited by an apostate Yankee, threatened to Lib. 1.35, 166. hand his scandalous and incendiary budget of sedition . . . to the proper authorities, as the ground of a prosecution, in case he should venture within the State. Mr. Garrison bids him do so, and tell them that as soon as we can make our arrangements, we intend removing the office of the Liberator to South Carolina, or one of the slave States, where we can meet the enemy on his own ground.

In addition to this, a variety of letters, relative to the paper, are constantly accumulating, which require prompt answers. We have just taken a colored apprentice, Thomas Paul, son of the highly respected pastor (of the same name) of the African Baptist Church in Belknap Street, who died in April, 1831 (Lib. 1.63). From the printing-office the lad went to the Noyes Academy in Canaan, N. H. (Lib. 5.71), and thence to Dartmouth College (Lib. 7.203), where he graduated in 1841 (Lib. 11.151). Afterwards he became a teacher. however, who will shortly be able to alleviate our toil.

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 their fifteenth annual report (1832) they speak of the great movements then going on in Maryland and Virginia, and continue: Indeed, the whole Lib. 2.63. American community appears to be awakened, as by one powerful spirit, to the consideration and adoption of measures for the more complete accomplishment of the great objects of the American Colonization Society. The spirit was worth more to them than the stringent and persecuting legislation, which was nugatory when passed. It was the spirit which everywhere at the North, either by statute or by custom, denied to a dark skin civi

The Quaker mode of extinguishing slavery by abstaining from its products still commended itself to Mr. Garrison.
