head. Had it struck him, undoubtedly he would have been killed on the spot. He went on with his lecture, however, and told the people he would not cease to plead the cause of enslaved humanity in that place, until either mob law was put down, or he should fall a victim. The next evening his meeting was slightly disturbed, but the third evening he carried his point triumphantly. About twenty of the rioters have been arrested —all men of cloth. Rev. Mr. Grosvenor has been mobbed in Worcester County. Mass. Charles Stuart has been mobbed in the western part of the State of New York. A brickbat struck him on the head, which made him senseless for a time; but as soon as he recovered, he began to plead for the suffering and dumb, until he was persuaded by a clergyman to desist. Rev. George Storrs has been mobbed (according to law) in Lib. 6.11. New Hampshire. In the midst of his prayer, he was arrested, and violently shaken, and carried before a justice of the peace as a va

Subscriptions to a fund for procuring the heads of Garrison, Thompson and Tappan were invited to be made at a bookstore (!) in Norfolk, Va.

Northern tradesmen were threatened with Lib. 5.148, 149, 152, 165. loss of Southern patronage, or with destruction of their Southern branch establishments, if they were known to be friendly to the abolitionists—if they did not come out against them—if abolitionists were permitted to hold meetings or publish papers in the town where the merchant did business.

, the city was still small enough to make the Mayor a wellknown figure, his office possessed much greater dignity, and his presence inspired much greater awe, than it does to-day. This, while it makes his part in removing the anti-slavery sign (accepting his own version of it) an indefensible encouragement to the mob, would also, it must be said, justly qualify any present estimate of his personal bravery. Comparison has pertinently been made with Mayor Eliot's quelling of the ferocious Broad-Street riot of June 11, 1837, between two fire-engine Memoir of Chas, Sumner, 1.162; Lib. 7.99. companies and the Irish, when missiles were flying, and personal intervention meant taking risks which Mayor Lyman had neither to encounter nor to fear. As to calling out the military, the Mayor perhaps had no statute authority to do so; Garrison mob, p. 58; but compare B. F.

At Providence the truth reached her: President Wayland [of Brown University] agreed with me Autobiography, 1.346, and Society in America, 1, § 4. at the time about the iniquitous and fatal character of the outrage; but called on me, after a trip to Boston, to relieve my anxiety by the assurance that it was all right,—the mob having been entirely composed of gentlemen! William Goodell writes to Mr. Garrison from Providence, Feb. 25, 1836: Have you read Wayland's Elements [of moral science] ? There are a few pages in it that squint hard at a support of the authority of Government to judge of and punish incendiary publications. I am astonished that no one has noticed it. But all in good time. I am waiting to see his course in some matters now pending. We shall soon see how far he will go in playing the Lane Seminary game over again!

Mr. Wright was not satisfied with one norm de guerre: Law, Wickliffe, Cato, Justice, are others which he employed at this time in the Liberator. He was a native of Sharon, Conn. (1797), who turned from hat-making to the ministry, studying at Andover from 1819 to 1823, and being licensed to preach in the latter year. He was settled till 1833 at West Newbury, Mass.

y. He has a mighty work to perform in England. . . . It is by the pressure of public sentiment abroad, as well as at home, that the bloody system is to be tumbled into ruins. Only the lapse of years, in fact, could disclose the full import of that American mission which Mr. Garrison had instigated, and which, even had it ended here, must have been pronounced successful. I keep within the bounds when I say that my mission has far transcended my most sanguine expectations (Geo. Thompson at Glasgow, Jan. 25, 1836, Lib. 6.69. See also Letters and Addresses by Geo. Thompson during his Mission in the United States, Boston, 1837). The moral and material alliance with England, already ensured by his own visit to that country, was now, however, to be indissolubly cemented by Mr. Thompson's expulsion from the United States. In a parting letter to Henry C. Wright, dated St. John, N. B., November 25, 1835, the fugitive laid down the programme to be faithfully carried out in his native land:

ffice, just to meet demands which may be made on us. You may keep yourself perfectly quiet where you are, till you get ready to come back. As for Garrison, I do not know but he would be safe enough here in the daytime, but in truth I don't feel myself competent to give any opinion on that point. . . . Garrison is insane, and Thompson has embarked for England. These are the current stories now. We have received no intelligence from Mr. May. It came presently. He was mobbed at Montpelier, Vt., on the two days following the Boston mob, while addressing the Vermont State Anti-Slavery Society in the hall of the House of Representatives (Lib. 5.174; May's Recollections, p. 153).
