iefly upon me, as Douglass was entirely exhausted and voiceless. I am afraid his old throat complaint, the swelling of the tonsils, etc., is upon him. He left for Salem after dinner, accompanied by Samuel Brooke, Gen. Agent W. A. S. S. a distance of forty miles. J. W. Walker, S. S. Foster, and Dr. Peck helped to fill up the gap a far, I have stood the fatigues of the tour better than I anticipated. As yet, I have not had a word of intelligence from home.

o my tour. As for the Liberator, I cannot give any sketch for the public eye, but hope to be able to do so in a few days. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Youngstown [Ohio], Aug. 16, 1847. Ms. I scribbled a few hasty lines for you at Pittsburgh, just before leaving that busy, though dingy and homely city—a city which so cloh, and formerly of Carlisle), who has lately graduated at the Rush Medical College at Chicago, Douglass and I, took passage for this place (a distance of forty Youngstown, O. miles) in a canal-boat, it being the first trip of the kind I had ever made on a canal. The day was excessively hot, and on the way one of the horses was amosphere, as the cabin was small and thronged. The scenery on the route was very pretty. At 4 o'clock yesterday morning (Sunday) we arrived here, Aug. 15. Youngstown, O. and immediately came up to the Mansion House, kept by N. Andrews. It is a rum tavern, but the landlord (strange to say) is friendly to our cause, and gener

n had invited us at New Lyme to spend the night at his house, but had retired with his family to rest, supposing we had concluded to stop in Austinburg. He, and his son and daughter, soon made their appearance, and about midnight all was quiet again. The deacon is a Liberty Party man, but very kind and hearty in his feelings towards us, and his house is always open to anti-slavery lecturers and runaway slaves. After breakfast, the next morning, we rode to Painesville, Aug. 21, 1847. Lake County (within three miles of Lake Erie), arriving at 10 o'clock. It is a very pleasant and well-built village, the prettiest and most populous of any that we have yet seen– containing about 1500 inhabitants. The Telegraph, a Whig paper, is the only paper printed in it. The politics of the place are strongly Whig. The same remark applies to nearly every town and village on the Western Reserve. This fact should be noted in connection with the cordiality shown by the Liberty Party abolitionis

eed, money here is not usually plenty, although they have everything else in abundance. No quotations must be made from my hasty scrawls to you for the Liberator. I have not a moment's time to prepare anything fit for the public eye, and must refer our friends at home to the Bugle for information. My best regards to the Jacksons, Mrs. Meriam, the Wallcuts, Eliza F. Meriam. and the other dear friends. Glad shall I be when my mission is ended. Wendell Phillips to Mrs. Garrison. Natick [Mass.], Aug. 20 [1847]. Ms. Friday. You must not think we have forgotten you. I ought to have written long ago. Dear Ann has not really been able, though she Mrs. Phillips. has talked of you, and wanted to know this, that, and the other, which I was to have found out during my hurried visits to Boston, but, like all husbands, forgot the duty when I got to town. My time has been so hurried and filled that I have never been able to get to Pine Street, but shall yet. Those unruly boys need

I arrived in London, and was, Ante, p. 156. therefore, at a distance of three thousand miles from you. Now I am in Philadelphia, some three hundred miles away. So far as separation is concerned, it is the same whether we are hundreds or thousands of miles apart; but then, as a matter of speedy return, it is a matter of very great consequence as to what the relative distance may be. I could be with you in less than twenty-four hours, if necessary—that is comforting. . . . Our trip from Norwich to New York was as serene and quiet Aug. 2-3. as possible, where we arrived at 5 o'clock. At 9 o'clock, I Aug. 3. crossed the ferry and took the cars for Philadelphia—arriving at 2 o'clock, J. M. McKim being at the wharf to escort me to the dear home of our beloved friends, James and Lucretia Mott, who gave me a warm reception, of course. August 7. Ms., and Lib. 17.135.

Union, were the regular anti-slavery work of the year, to which was added support of the Wilmot Proviso, or the attempt in Congress Lib. 17.193. to ensure freedom to the territory certain to be acquired, by force or purchase, of Mexico. In Massachusetts, little was needed to maintain the Legislature in its attitude of Lib. 17.14, 74. aversion to the war, or to procure its endorsement of the Proviso; but to disunion it of course turned a cold Lib. 17.58. shoulder. As usual, too, Mr. Garrriend Peck, Dr., I am inclined to think, from the looks of the landlord, that our company is not desirable here. In a few minutes a person came into our room, saying that his name was Briggs—that he was the brother of the present Governor of Massachusetts—that he had taken Geo. N. Briggs. the liberty of introducing himself to us in consequence of a conversation he had just had with the landlord, who declared to him that no nigger could be allowed to sit at his table, and that if any such atte

ymns— the Cowles[es], from Austinburg—while I am trying to do, what I have in vain sought to do since I was at Oberlin—and that is, to finish this letter. Our meetings at Richfield were eminently successful—five thousand present, and the weather superb. We held six meetings in all. Stopped with Dea. Ellsworth, a come-outer. From thence we went to Medina, and held two meetings in the courthouse, which was filled with an intelligent audience. The effect produced, good. We next went to Massillon, and held three meetings in the Tremont Hall, to a respectable and deeply interested assembly. Stopped with R. H. Folger, a talented lawyer and good abolitionist, and a relation of Lucretia Mott. Next we went to Leesburg, the residence of J. W. Walker—a long and tedious ride. Stopped on the way overnight at a tavern in Zoar, a place owned by an association of German Noyes's Am. Socialisms, p. 135. communists and highly improved.

th by selecting for candidates men not of their party. Leavitt, desirous to equal Goodell, is about to select Hale as their Presidential candidate —a man never of their party. It was prophesied that so fast as men became politicians, they would cease to be frank-spoken, active reformers; and so it has proved. Liberty Party as such is dying, and merging under other names in other movements. The New York bolt was distasteful to the Eastern wing of the Liberty Party. Samuel Fessenden of Maine wrote to the Emancipator: I feel chafed at the idea of our greatest and best men lugging in, as seems to me, by the head and shoulders, so many things to embarrass and cripple our great and glorious cause in which we are engaged. How have we blamed Garrison, and that class of anti-slavery men, for bringing in and mingling with the cause so many exciting topics! Lib. 17.106. In explanation of this passage, Mr. Fessenden wrote to the editor of the Liberator (Ms. July 13, 1847, Lib. 17: 1
