This evening we meet to form an American Phonographic Society. Of this Society Mr. Garrison became an officer, and his Lib. 15.132. friend May was quickly made president of the branch Lib. 15.140. organization established in Syracuse. Anyone who has ever attempted phonography will correctly surmise that Mr. Garrison, with his multiplicity of cares and engagements, and his rigid and laborious, if elegant, penmanship, never acquired the art he dabbled in. Its utility to the abolition cause was the one thing that escaped his prophetic vision. It enormously increased the audience of every anti-slavery speaker whose words were worth quoting verbatim.

There can be no doubt that the acquisition of Texas hastened the overthrow of the Slave Power, by making it over-confident, by fostering dreams of an indefinite Southern expansion in case of separation from the North, by training the hot youth of the South to arms when Mexico was invaded and reduced—yet training not only Jefferson Davis, Lee, Stonewall Jackson, the two Johnstons, and so many other future chiefs of the Confederate army, but also Grant, Thomas, Meade, Hancock, and their fellow-emancipationists of the Federal army; above all, by enlarging with the national domain the points of contact between free and slave institutions, involving fresh conflicts and compromises—perpetual irritation of the national sore.

The Convention only put forth an Address, Lib. 15.22. protesting against annexation, and appointed a Committee of Correspondence; on the ground that they would not suppose the possibility of annexation until it was done, and that then would be soon enough to take further measures. If they do this, it will be well; if not, the Convention will be a farce. The anti-slavery spirit of the Convention was surprising. The A

True to his instincts as a universal reformer, Mr. Garrison had varied his anti-slavery discourse with speeches Lib. 15.27, 31, 84, 92, 158; before legislative committees and before conventions or simple meetings against capital punishment; or in favor Lib. 15.43, 115, 176; of temperance and peace; on the Sabbath and on public Lib. 15.47, 148. worship. His progress towards greater theological enlightenment was manifested in his treatment of Theodore Parker's heresies, at a time when the preacher's own denomination could not even tolerate a Unitarian Lib. 15.55. clergyman who would exchange pulpits with him. Mr. Garrison was not shocked by the denial of a superhuman nature or attributes to Jesus. The pother, he declared, was caused by Mr. Parkers disbelief in the miraculous; yet, surely, the obligations and duties of man to his fellow-man and to God are in no degree affected by the question whether miracles were wrought in Judea or not,
