Representatives; but in this the Society overreached itself. Polk, of Tennessee, denounced it as the first foreign effort to Lib. 2.61. intermeddle with the subject of slavery in Congress, and as an act of impertinence; and its reading was opposed by all the Southern members except General Blair, of South Carolina, who professed entire indifference. A disposition to tamper with the slave question had been manifested, and he cared not how soon gentlemen played the game out. . . . He could tell gentlemen that when they moved that question seriously, they from the South would meet it elsewhere. It would not be disputed in that House but in the open field, where powder and cannon would be their orators, and their arguments lead and steel. The memorial was withdrawn, and the Society found itself wi

What protects the South from instant destruction? Our physical force. Break the chain which binds her to the Union, and the scenes of St. Domingo would be witnessed throughout her borders. She may affect to laugh at this prophecy; but she knows that her security lies in Northern bayonets. What madness in the South to look for greater safety in disunion! It would be worse than jumping out of the frying-pan into the fire. It would be jumping into the fire from a fear of the frying-pan [i.e., Northern meddling with slavery] (Ex-President Madison to Henry Clay, June, 1833, in Colton's Private Correspondence of Clay, p. 365).

A long and spirited conversation ensued, in which nearly all the company participated; and on parting, I gave him a copy of my Thoughts, for his harmless traducement,—persuaded that our interview had not been altogether unprofitable, and that henceforth the madman Garrigus, or Garrison, or some such name, Goold Brown's blundring was not so far out of the way.

The letters themselves appear to have been written in 1824, when their author was about 31 years of age. Following the reprint in the Liberator, an edition in book form was put forth by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, and a fifth edition was published by Isaac Knapp as late as 1838.

Jeremiah Chaplin, Formerly of Danvers, Mass. (See vol. VIII. Coll. Maine Hist. Soc., p. 178.) Mr. Chaplin's wife, Eunice Stickney, was a distant relative of Mr. Garrison's, though neither host nor guest was aware of the fact. (See the Stickney Genealogy, pp. 87, 146, 458.) and spoke to the students on colonization. At Augusta he attended a meeting called by the Rev. Cyril Pearl, in aid of the Colonization Society, and so embarassed the agent by his questions and Lib. 2.167. impressed the audience by his appeal in opposition, that the vote was emphatically in the negative. The refutation was effectual, for a second attempt the next year in the same place by Pearl, during Mr. Garrison's absence in England, proved an even worse failure.

ational creatures of God, in this boasted land of liberty. I have been appointed, by the New-England Anti-Slavery Society, to deliver an address in this city on the 4th of July, on the subject of slavery. Although the most strenuous exertions have been made by a committee to procure a meeting-house in which to have the address delivered, up to this hour they have not been able to succeed, and probably we must resort to a hall. Tell it not at the South! Publish it not in the capital of Georgia! The address was in fact delivered in Boylston Hall, and afterwards on the same day at Lynn. It was Lib. 2.107. remarked that, contrary to the usage of the time, the Rev. Joshua N. Danforth, an agent of the Colonization Society, who officiated on the previous Sunday at the Essex-Street Church, refused to read the printed notice of the address. Twelve days later, in the one church sure to open its doors to him, the Baptist Church in Belknap Street, Mr. Garrison delivered another ad

Although I have long since withdrawn from the field of Lib. 2.162. politics, I feel a strong interest in the perpetuity of that system which fosters and protects the industry of the American people. So, later, at Hallowell, Maine, he found an intelligent, clear-headed, and industrious population, whom it is not easy to mislead by any political impostures, and who are fully aware that the protection of American industry is the life-blood of the nation.

He was father of the distinguished Senator, Wm. Pitt Fessenden. In Hallowell, writes Mr. Garrison, the first individual upon Lib. 2.166. whom, as in duty bound, I called, was Mr. Ebenezer Dole, a philanthropist whose name is familiar to the readers of the Liberator—the first life-member of the New-England Anti-Slaver

No more forcible argument resting upon common morality, the Scriptures, and political economy, could have been framed for the time, or perhaps for all time, while some of the well-authenticated instances of slaveholding atrocity could be surpassed only in the dreams of a Nero. Yet one of these, and the most shocking, involved a nephew of Thomas Jefferson. S

He concludes his arraignment with the proposition that the Society deceives and misleads the nation as to its actual achievements in removing the blacks, and the cost thereof, and as to its ability to transport them all in less than thirty years; while its pretence that only through Liberia, Sierra Leone, and similar colonies can the slave trade be abolished, conceals the truth that the only way is to break up the market. The number of slaves annually smuggled into the South is seven times that actually transported to Africa by the Society in fifteen years. By letting the Thoughts, p. 160. system of slavery alone, then, and striving to protect it, the Society is encouraging and perpetuating the foreign slave trade. All these positions were overwhelmingly sustained by extracts from
