Still another church was found in which to protract the meeting, which in all occupied four days. The Colonizationists, who had held a counter meeting in palliation of slavery, kept aloof till a pretext for interfering was furnished by the unfavorable testimony of a returned colonist as to the condition of Liberia. The last two days, at the Chapel, were marked by interruptions, and at the close on Saturday afternoon the hall was seized by Gurley, the Rev. G. W. Bethune, a Methodist bishop from Virginia and others, for a colonizationist demonstration. Some of the ruffians bawled Lib. 4.79. out for Garrison, but he was out of their murderous reach. This was far from satisfying the Courier and Lib. 4.85. Enquirer, which warned the abolitionists never to meet again in New York. Disregarding t

ia) at an age when his humanity should have been tender and sensitive to cruelty; mature and a clergyman he witnessed it in the West Indies; it was still two years after Mr. Garrison had in vain besought him to cast in the weight of his mighty influence with the despised abolitionists, before he put forth his little work on Slavery, which finished his reputation at the South as completely as if he had accepted the presidency of an anti-slavery society. Meantime, his sermon had made the Norfolk (Va.) Beacon (a colonization organ) explicitly Lib. 4.193. give him up as ranged under the banners of Garrison. In this year 1834 now passing from view, the American nativity of the editor of the Liberator was first doubted and denied. His deep feeling for Newburyport, not smothered by a later attachment (also of the deepest) for his adopted city, Boston, found expression in the following sonnet: Whether a persecuted child of thine Lib. 4.15; Writings of W.

ust left, and my heart grew liquid as water. Heavenly father, I inwardly ejaculated, let thy choicest blessings fall upon the head of that very dear and venerable philanthropist, and upon his dear wife, and all their children, for thus compassionating the condition of an injured and helpless race. In truth, if any seal was needed on the match between Miss Benson and Mr. Garrison, it was to be found in the character and history of her father. See, for details, the Benson family of Newport, R. I., pp. 31-47; Memoir of S. J. May, pp. 113-115, and his Brief Account of his Ministry, p. 47; Helen Eliza Garrison: In Memoriam, pp. 7-15; Larned's History of Windham County, 2.473, 475, 484. A retired merchant, whose moderate fortune had been earned in Providence, George Benson could look back on more than half a century of personal and associated opposition to slavery. He had a hand in founding and incorporating (1790) the third of those interesting abolition societies of the first

His father, Timothy Jackson, was a minute-man who joined in the pursuit of the retreating British on April 19. 1775. He himself was a soldier at Fort Warren in Boston harbor in the War of 1812. He early took an active part in the municipal affairs of Boston, and directed some of its chief territorial improvements, but did not seek office. He was a very tower of strong will, solid judgment, shrewd forecast, sturdy common sense; sparing of words, yet a master of terse, homely English; simple and frugal in his habits, but charitable and hospitable in an unusual degree. He was one of John Pierpont's parishioners, at Hollis-Street Church, vigor

aughters became Friends through convincement. Religion, philanthropy and hospitality moulded the family life at Friendship's Valley, as Prudence Crandall had gratefully denominated the Benson place, which lay on both sides of the Norwich and Worcester road, in an intervale at the foot of the long hill separating Brooklyn from Pomfret. Nowhere could Mr. Garrison have found an atmosphere more congenial to his moral sense, or more inimical to the solitary and unsettled life he had hitherto ledre playfully informed in advance that they would soon be Lib. 4.131. enabled to decide whether the editor of the Liberator is to espouse a white or a black woman. On the nuptial day, the journey for Boston was begun in carriages by way of Worcester, the couple being accompanied by Mr. Garrison's aunt Newell, his mother's youngest sister, the only one of his relatives present at the wedding.

Churches were as readily thrown open to him as were anti-slavery conventions, and a large part of the thirty addresses or more he had made before the end of the year were delivered in them. Occasionally he would give a common pulpit discourse, in the clergyman's place, for which his religious spirit fitted him so well that the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer was Lib. 4.193. quite right in designating him as an incendiary British missionary rather than emissary. Some of the Philadelphia Quakers objected to Thompson because he made such long prayers (Ms. Mar. 27, 1835, Henry Benson to G. W. Benson).

Are they not all branded as fanatics, disorganizers and madmen? Has not one of them (Dr. Cox) had his dwelling and meeting-house rudely Lib. 4.114. and riotously assaulted, and even been hunted in the streets of New York? Has not another (Beriah Green) been burnt in Lib. 4.23. effigy in the city of Utica? (To say nothing of the sufferings and persecutions of Arthur and Lewis Tappan, and other individuals.) Why are they thus maltreated and calumniated? Certainly, not for the phraseology which they use, but for the principles which they adopt. Are they not all tauntingly stigmatized as Garrison-men ? As soon as any man becomes hostile to colonization, and friendly to abolition, is he not at once recognized and stamped by the enemy as a Garrisonite? Then how can it be averred that it is my l
