o. Circumstances hereafter must determine this matter. At the same date Sarah Grimke, from the hospitable home of Samuel Philbrick, Samuel Philbrick was born at Seabrook, N. H., in 1789. His parents, Joseph and Lois Philbrick, were Quakers; the father, a farmer, being a preacher in that denomination. His schooling was finished at the academy in Sandwich, Mass., and he began his business career in Lynn, after marrying in 1816 Eliza, only daughter of Edward and Abigail Southwick, of Danvers. His sympathy with Mary Newhall's New Light movement led to the sectarian disownment of himself and wife. As already noted (ante, 1.145), he was one of the earliest agents of Lundy's Genius. His admitting a colored child, in charitable training at his own home as a housemaid, to his pew in the First Congregational Church in Brookline (where he went to reside in 1830) was resented as a breach of decorum; and he separated from the church sooner than permit the girl to be relegated to the ne

hristians, applaud and do homage to human government? or shall we not rather lay the axe at the root of the tree, and attempt to destroy both cause and effect together? Foolish are the speculations about the best form of human government: What is government but the express image of the moral character of a people? The hand of Noyes was first made visible in the Liberator of July 28, when the editor reported his own Lib. 7.123. Fourth of July address before the Anti-Slavery Society of Providence (in the High-Street meeting-house). It was, he said, somewhat peculiar, and couched in solemn language. In the course of it he had read an extract of a letter from an esteemed friend, in which the following startling passage occurred: My hope of the millen- nium begins where Dr. Beecher's expires, viz., at the overthrow of this nation! This passage, which had deeply affected his mind, he developed in contrast to the noisy celebration of the national holiday, with its impious assumption

He took a leading part in organizing the Providence Anti-Slavery Society and in revolutionizing the public sentiment of Rhode Island. He was the last abolitionist to bid good-bye to George Thompson, whose travelling associate and secretary he had been. His services to the Liberator, as its editor Lib. 7.15. testified, contributed largely to its permanent support. Elected in July, 1835, Secretary and General Agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, he proved the most valuable business man who had ever filled that post. The adjoining room witnessed his incessant toil, said Lib. 7.26. Mr. May, at the first m

burned bright within him and supported him. He, too, at length, had his twelve associates, and the first Anti-Slavery Society was formed. From this small beginning, and owing mainly, I believe, under God, to the clear vision, the purity of character, the energy, and the intrepidity of that individual, our cause has advanced till it numbers 800 societies. An anti-slavery society has been formed in the United States every day for the last two years. There are 300 societies in the single State of Ohio, one of which numbers 4,000 members. Yet the individual who started this mighty movement, is rejected and scorned by the great and little vulgar of our day. No matter. Posterity will do justice to the name of William Lloyd Garrison (Lib. 7: 23). a burst of applause followed from every part of the house. When it died away, a few hisses were heard in one of the galleries. These elicited another tremendous round of applause. Again a hiss was heard, and then followed another and still

In New York alone the Appeal found an echo or excited apprehension. Upon his removal from Brooklyn (Conn.) to Boston, Mr. Garrison wrote to his brother-in-law: I have seen a good many of our best abolition friends since Ms. to G. W.

ress over slavery in the District and over the inter-State slave trade, etc. The action of this Convention (to which, by the way, Lib. 7.163. female delegates were admitted) determined the ascendency of Mr. Garrison, not only in Massachusetts, but in New England, which was largely represented at Worcester. Primarily it was a tribute to his personal character in a region where he was intimately known, and where his presence never failed to disarm prejudice and opposition. Thus, at Dover, N. H., in 1842, We were amazed above measure, writes N. P. Rogers,to hear brother Francis Cogswell and Rev. Brother Young eulogizing Garrison. I have been highly pleased with Mr. Garrison, said Brother Young. . . . If you would send out such men as Garrison, said friend Cogswell, your cause would prosper. How long have you been an admirer of Garrison, brother Cogswell? said we. Oh, I have not liked his writings, said he. He has not written as he speaks here. Always, said we ( Acts of the A.
