Soc.; Lib. 7.89. the Congregational General Association of Connecticut (at Norfolk, Litchfield County) in June, 1836, under the lead of Leonard Bacon, in opposition to the practice of itinerant agents enlightening the members of churches without the advice and consent of the pastors and regular ecclesiastical bon who encourage females to bear an obtrusive and ostentatious part in measures of reform, and countenance any of that sex who so far forget themselves as to itinerate in the character of public lecturers and teachers. Like its forerunner in Connecticut, the Massachusetts Ante, p. 130.

, to drive them to take up arms in self-defence. They were not required to do so either as philanthropists or Christians, and they have certainly set a dangerous precedent in the maintenance of our cause,—though the fact does not in the least palliate the bloodthirsty conduct of their assailants. Far be it from us to reproach our suffering brethren, or weaken the impression of sympathy which has been made on their behalf in the minds of the people—God forbid! Yet, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, who suffered himself to be unresistingly nailed to the cross, we solemnly protest against any of his professed followers resorting to carnal weapons under any pretext or in any extremity whatever. The fifth and sixth resolutions issued in the name of the Board of Managers show the distinction which Mr. Garrison admitted between his own judgment and that of the public at large, and again of his fellowabolition-ists, upon the defence at Alton: 5.

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 negro pew. He soon acquired a competence as a leather merchant in Boston, and in 1836 reounsellor in the anti-slavery cause, which he liberally endowed, and rendered invaluable service as Treasurer of the Massachusetts Society for nearly twenty years. Mr. Garrison and the Liberator in particular were greatly indebted to him. in Brookline, Mass., was reporting to Henry C.

defender of slavery—on republican and Biblical grounds. Clerical abolitionists were unknown to abolitionism, which was a terrible leveller of distinctions. The movement to crush out Garrisonism, as Orson S. Murray correctly defined it in his Vermont Telegraph— Lib. 7.150. adding that to this end much greater strength was being put forth than to crush slavery—met with the anticipated encouragement in sectarian quarters. The Christian Mirror said: We know not how Mr. Garrison will stand thindence, Lib. 7.43. and that the Government despatched an army to the frontier as a menace to Mexico; that in December the Lib. 7.87.

So, Attorney-General Austin, excusing the Alton riot by Lib. 7.202. the Boston tea-riot, recalled Peleg Sprague's pointing to that slaveholder, and drew the hot and crushing retort from Wendell Phillips, who followed him,— Sir, when I heard the gentleman lay down principles which Lib. 7.202. place the rioters, incendiaries, and murderers of Mt. Benedict The eminence in Charlestown, Mass., on which the Ursuline Convent had been established. and Alton side by side with Otis and Hancock, with Quincy and Adams, I thought those pictured lips [pointing to the portraits in the hall] would have broken into voice to rebuke the recreant American--the slanderer of the dead. The gentleman said that he should sink into insignificance if he dared to gainsay the principles of these resolutions. Austin declared them the familiar doctrines of our bill of rights in language weakened

Mr. Woodbury had thought this incidental and inadvertent, but was now well satisfied that, with the cause of abolition, he [Mr. Garrison] is determined to carry forward and propagate and enforce his peculiar theology . . . Slavery is not merely to be abolished, but nearly everything else. With such associates he could not act, any more than with infidels, like Fanny Wright A remarkable woman, born in Scotland Sept. 6, 1795; died (Mme. Darusmont) in Cincinnati Dec. 14, 1852. Her attempted community in Shelby Co., Tenn., in 1825, was a notable early anti-slavery enterprise. She was an eloquent public lecturer, and as such often mobbed for her political and religious doctrines (Lib. 8.173), a socialistic co-worker with Robert Owen, and a co-editor with Robert Dale Owen of the N.

Men grew reflective and intellectual. There was a new consciousness (Atlantic Monthly, October, 1883, p. 529; and see the whole of this acute observer's Lecture on the Times, Dec. 2, 1841). There was a corresponding activity in England, manifested in the Reform Bill of 1832, the abolition of slavery in the British West Indies, the Tractarian movement, Catholic Emancipation, and a hundred other ways. in the millennial ardor of the missionary, tract, and Bible societies for evangelizing the world, the kindred labors and hopes of the peace and temperance societies, the revivals of religion—more particularly the great so-called Finney revival of 1831, coincident Noyes's American Socialisms, p. 614. with the founding of the Liberator.
