The good people of Canterbury, writes Arnold Ms. to W. L. G. Buffum from Providence, on March 4, I learn, have had three town meetings last week to devise ways and means to suppress P. Crandall's school, and I am informed that the excitement is so great that it would not be safe for me to appear there. George [W.] Benson, however, has ventured and gone there on Saturday afternoon last, to see what can be done in the case. Mr. Benson found that Miss Crandall had already been visited by a committee of gentlemen, who represented that

To this Mr. Garrison editorially added an announcement of his purpose to sail in the course of a few weeks, leaving the Liberator in the hands of a gentleman [Oliver Johnson] in all respects qualified to make it an interesting and efficient publication. He returned his grateful acknowledgments to the Colored Female Religious and Moral Society of Salem, for some valuable presents to him in anticipation of his voyterbury with her sister (a beautiful Almira Crandall. girl, by the way). She is a wonderful woman, as undaunted as if she had the whole world on her side. She has opened her school, and is resolved to persevere. I wish brother Johnson Oliver Johnson. to state this fact, particularly, in the next Liberator, and urge all those who intend to send their children thither, to do so without delay.

Judson, one of the five, and then or shortly afterwards a life-member of the American Colonization Society, as was also Dr. Andrew Harris, of the same black-list. Judson was in July made a local agent of the Windham Co. Colonization Society, and orator for the next meeting. Like him, Harris lived on a corner opposite Miss Crandall's school. Be it so, said Squire Judson, in an address Lib. 3.107, 43, 54. to the Colonization Society signed by the civil authority and selectmen under date of March 22, 1833.

Yet another colonizationist, Robert S.
