de his speeches so apt to every locality which he visited. And, indeed, to oppose or to abandon the cause I plead, only because I mix not with the agitation of an interior question, is a greater injustice yet, because to discuss the question of foreign policy I have a right. My nation is an object of that policy; we are interested in it; but to mix with interior party movements I have no right, not being a citizen of the United States. To Kossuth the last word, the measure of the man. In July, after two months seclusion in New York, he stole Lib. 22.118. away from the country, carrying nothing substantial as the result of his mission except ninety thousand dollars Life of Geo. Ticknor, 2.277. —the net proceeds of voluntary gifts and of the sale of Hungarian bonds. Already when he was at Memphis, on his voyage down the Mississippi, he had ceased to be the newest excitement of the American people.

Both Giddings and Lib. 22.113. Sumner felt that another four years must pass before anything could be achieved. When a Convention at Pittsburgh was talked of, John P. Hale let it be known Lib. 22.131. in advance that he would not accept the nomination if tendered him again. Nevertheless, assemble it did on August 11, borrowing the appellation of Free Democracy Lib. 22.134. from the Cleveland Convention of May 2, 1849, Lib. 19.85. and drawing to itself both Free Soil and the remnant of independent Liberty Party elements. Henry Wilson presided. Frederick Douglass, on motion of Lewis Tappan, was made one of the secretaries. Charles Francis Adams, Gerrit Smith, F. J. Le Moyne, and Joshua R. Giddings took a leading part. The platform declared for no more slave States, no slave Territory, no nationaliz

States to be legal and tolerated by the Constitution, and he could not bring himself to vote for Hale in the Convention, though prepared to do so at the polls. Neither could he recommend disbanding the Liberty Party, though persuaded that the Free Democracy were better than their platform, and would not break up in coalitions and disgrace themselves like the Free Soil Party. On August 24, Wendell Phillips wrote from Northampton to Mrs. Garrison: Tell Garrison that it seems to me Douglass will come out for Hale. What nonsense!—hold the Constitution to be anti-slavery, justify one's self in voting on that theory, and then vote for a man who don't agree with the theory! Ms. In practice, it made no difference which way any political abolitionist voted in November, 1852. The two preponderating parties, Whig and Democratic, at their nominating conventions, competed, in th

You say, come, and the travelling Ms. Syracuse, Sept. 21, 1852. expenses shall be paid. . . . I will be with you.

G. eleventh week. By that date an edition had been issued in London at two and sixpence, to be followed by one in Ms. June 7, S. May, Jr., to W. L.

On September 24, George Thompson wrote from London to Mr. Garrison: Uncle Tom is doing a great work here. Between 400,000 Ms. and 500,000 copies (varying in price from sixpence to seven and sixpence) are already in circulation. Two of our metropolitan theatres are nightly crowded to overflowing by persons anxious to witness a representation of its most striking scenes on the stage. The story was dramatized in Boston a little later (Lib. 22.191). Hildreth's White Slave is also finding a rapi

Ms. In being at your rescue anniversary on the 1st of October, I was hoping to be able to kill two stones with one bird (as some one has said, in Ireland or out of it),—i. e., to make it incidental to my visit to Pennsylvania, to attend the annual meeting of the State A. S. Society; but as that meeting has been postponed from the first week in October to the last, I shall not be able to carry that plan into effect. I am hesitating, therefore, whether to be with you on the 1st. My presence, with the amount of talent you will not fail to have present on the occasion, can certainly be of no special value; and as the distance and the expense are both considerable (the latter being the most weighty consideration), my conclusion is, that I had better send a letter to be read to the meeting, and abandon the idea of being on the ground bodily

Mr. Garrison's special activity during the last quarter of the year is imaged in the following correspondence. The first letter relates to the celebration of the Jerry rescue at Syracuse: W. L.

e, and that it is I who have often whispered in his mental ear: Go on, my friend, for there is more with us than against us— if not bodily, surely there is spiritually, for God and all the good are with us. It is one of the minor puzzling curiosities of spiritual manifestations that certain characters attach themselves to an individual inquirer, and present themselves to him through divers mediums, both in his presence and in his absence. Thus it was with the disembodied Rogers, or his impersonator, who, in the same month of September, 1851, sent another message of reconciliation through Ms. Oliver Johnson by a boy medium near Waterloo, N. Y., Nov. (?) 1851. O. Johnson to W. L. G. and who became from that time truly a familiar spirit to Mr. Garrison—sometimes notably, and so consistently as to produce the pleasurable conviction that it was indeed Rogers who, clothed and in his right mind, sought to atone for his hostile aberration, and to restore the joyous friendship of 18

I had the treat of meeting Mazzini—a truly great man as he appears in his present position, and I cannot but entertain the hope that he would stand the test of a visit to America, though Kossuth has proved so fearfully recreant to principle (Ms. and Lib. 22: [123]).
