re if allowed. Yes, said a voice in the crowd, you would cut our throats for us. No, was the quick Nat. A. S. Standard, 10.207. response, but we would cut your hair for you. Douglass concluded his triumphant remarks by calling upon the Rev. Samuel R. Ward, editor of the Impartial Citizen, to succeed him. All eyes, says Dr. Furness, 50th Anniversary of a Pastorate, p. 33. were instantly turned to the back of the platform, or stage rather, so dramatic was the scene; and there, amidst a group, stood a large man, so black that, as Wendell Phillips said, when he shut his eyes you could not see him. . . . As he approached, Rynders exclaimed: Well, this is the original nigger! I've heard of the magnanimity of Captain Rynders, said Ward, but the half has not been told me! And then he went on with a noble voice, and his speech was such a strain of eloquence as I never heard excelled before or since. The mob had to applaud him, too, and it is the highest praise to Nat.

Rynders at their head, they came rushing on to the platform, yelling, cheering, swearing, etc., etc. But, after much tumult and many interruptions, I got through with my speech—then Mr. Furness Rev. W. H. Furness. made a capital speech—then an opponent spoke—then F. Douglass. Douglass and Samuel Ward—and we wound up with electrical effect. Wendell had no time to speak.

e proceedings, it would have been wretchedly out of place. As it was, my speech fitted in almost as well as if it had been impromptu, although a sharp eye might easily have discovered that I was speaking memoriter. Rynders interrupted me again and again, exclaiming that I lied, that I was personal; but he ended with applauding me! No greater contrast to what was to follow could possibly be imagined than the genial manner, firm tones, and selfpossession, the refined discourse, of this Unitarian clergyman, who was felt to have turned the current of the Nat. A. S. Standard, 10.199. meeting. Up rose, as per agreement, one Professor Grant, a seedy-looking personage, having one hand tied round with a dirty cotton cloth. Mr. Garrison recognized 50th Anniversary of a Pastorate, p. 31. him as a former pressman in the Liberator office. His thesis was that the blacks were not men, but belonged to the monkey tribe. His speech proved dull and tiresome, and was made sport of by his own s

Mr. Garrison succeeded in reading an address recapitulating Mr. Thompson's philanthropic engagements and political honors since his former visit, but not a speaker was allowed to be heard— not more Wendell Phillips than George Thompson himself; not Edmund Quincy nor Douglass; not Elizur Wright nor Theodore Parker.

the American Anti-Slavery Society. As the above letter shows, he was fully alive to the possibilities of the occasion, and perfectly tranquil in mind. He could well trust his general appearance to belie the Herald's caricature of him, physically and spiritually; but as he was to be the central figure of the meetings, he was resolved to avoid all outward singularity. For this reason he abandoned for good the turn-down collar which he had clung to through all the changes of fashion, See Torrey's portrait, ante, 1.1, and the frontispiece to the present volume. Mr. Garrison related this incident to his son William. and put on the stand — up collar of the day. Surrounded on the platform by the flower of the Massachusetts Board and by the speakers agreed upon, he entered calmly upon his duties to the Society and to the vast assembly about him. In front, he saw a most respectable company of men and women; behind and above him he felt the organized and impending mob. The passages wh

Calhoun's glazed eye, almost fixed in death, saw more clearly than Clay's. His last speech, read for him in the Senate, protested not against the Kentuckian's aims in behalf of slavery, but his methods. Disunion was the necessary end of an agitation which imperilled the equilibrium of slave and free States; and the Compromise did not protect that equilibrium. The Fugitive Slave Bill introduced by Senator Butler of South Carolina would Andrew P. Butler.
