Waterloo, Ala. (Alabama, United States) (search for this): chapter 17
more daringly, to a nation yet more astonished—told the secret of anti-slavery, and told it in one word—disunion! Lib. 27.9. As God is in heaven, he continued, our destiny and our duty are to be found there. It is our only hope. With the thought of Kansas weighing heavily on his mind, he concluded his remarks by saying: To-morrow may call us to some work so stern that the joys of this evening will seem years away. To-morrow may make this evening only the sound of revelry by night before Waterloo. Theodore Parker, sending a letter in Lib. 27.5. lieu of a speech, was likewise in no festal mood. He found the Republican Party in Congress which carried eleven of the States at the last election, apologizing, and defining its position, declaring it is not an abolition party, not an anti-slavery party, not even hostile to the extension of bondage, only opposed to spreading it into Kansas, but never intending to interfere with slavery in the States, and does not propose to discuss the r

very eve of her dissolution, a curious discovery was made, after more than thirty years, of a few hundred dollars belonging to Mr. Garrison's mother in a Baltimore savings-bank. This sum, by the friendly intervention of John Needles, was paid over to the rightful heir, and served to discharge a part of the expense of Mrs. Newell's medical attendance and burial. It looks almost like a providential occurrence, Ms. Sept. 22, 1857. wrote Mr. Garrison to Mr. Needles. If my mother can take cognizance of what I am doing in this matter, her heart will thrill with delight to perceive to what a use her bequest is put. But the charity of Mr. Garrison and his wife neither MSS. W. L. G., June 18, 20, Lib. 27.203; 28.3; Ms. Nov. 8, 1857, W. L. G. to T. Parker. began nor ended at home.

occupy the ground of Disunion. It is not a matter of political expediency or policy, or even of incongruity of interests between the North and the South. It strikes deeper, it rises higher, than that. This is the question: Are we of the North not bound in a Union with slaveholders, whereby they are enabled to hold four millions of our countrymen in bondage, with all safety and impunity? Is not Massachusetts in alliance with South Carolina, Rhode Island with Georgia, Maine with Alabama, Vermont with Mississippi, giving the strength of this nation to the side of the dealer in human flesh? My difficulty, therefore, is a moral one. The Union was formed at the expense of the slave population of the land. I cannot swear to uphold it. As I understand it, they who ask me to do so, ask me to do an immoral act—to stain my conscience—to sin against God. How can I do this? I care not what consequences may be predicted.

ncerns; and that the very day on which the unhallowed attempt shall be made by the authorities of the Federal Government, we will consider ourselves as driven from the Union (Niles' Register, 30: 171). These words are proof that compensated emancipation had no chance except as a spontaneous Southern movement. The national political power which the Constitution bestowed upon the ruling caste at the South, effectually precluded the thought of such a movement. Clay's scheme in Kentucky, like McDonogh's in Louisiana, consisted in making the slave pay his full market value for freedom, and then betake himself to Africa. will be an excellent preparation for Elihu Burritt. ours. 10.

The sojourn in Illinois (being voluntary on the master's part) would have freed him, as this State was embraced in the Northwest Ordinance. The Territory of Nebraska was in the tract covered by the Missouri Compromise, prohibiting slavery north of 36° 30′. Scott and his wife were sold to a common owner, and returned voluntarily—or at least without resistance—to Missouri, where the husband brought suit for their freedom. The State court denied the suit, in default of evidence that their owners meant to manumit them by taking them on to free soil. Appeal was then made to the Federal Supreme Court, a body of nine members, of whom five were Lib. 2
