vidual upon Lib. 2.166. whom, as in duty bound, I called, was Mr. Ebenezer Dole, a philanthropist whose name is familiar to the readers of the Liberator—the first life-member of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society—the friend of the poor and needy, and supporter of the various benevolent operations of the times—whose interest in the abolition cause is unsurpassed—and to whom I labor under very onerous obligations. Our meeting was a cordial one. On his return from Bangor, he stopped at Waterville, where he was entertained by the President of the College, the Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin, Formerly of Danvers, Mass. (See vol. VIII. Coll. Maine Hist. Soc., p. 178.) Mr. Chaplin's wife, Eunice Stickney, was a distant relative of Mr. Garrison's, though neither host nor guest was aware of the fact. (See the Stickney Genealogy, pp. 87, 146, 458.) and spoke to the students on colonization. At Augusta he attended a meeting called by the Rev. Cyril Pearl, in aid of the Colonization Society,

at his prejudices against the people of color are active and inveterate. His notions of justice and pleas of expediency are utterly abhorrent to our moral sense. He persisted in saying that the condition of the slaves was better than that of the laboring classes in Great Britain!!— an assertion which makes his own countrymen a servile and brutish race, and which any man who knows the difference between black and white should blush to advance. Carey, it will be remembered, was a native of Ireland. Compare Dr. Channing's letter to Miss Aikin of Dec. 29, 1831 (p. 113 of Correspondence ): But do you know how slaveholders reconcile themselves to their guilt? . . . Our slaves subsist more comfortably than the populace and peasantry of Europe. . . . I acknowledge the sophistry, but mourn that it should have so much foundation. Notice also that Mathew Carey had published in 1796 St. George Tucker's Dissertation on Slavery; with a Proposal for the Gradual Abolition of it in the State of V

Although the most strenuous exertions have been made by a committee to procure a meeting-house in which to have the address delivered, up to this hour they have not been able to succeed, and probably we must resort to a hall. Tell it not at the South! Publish it not in the capital of Georgia! The address was in fact delivered in Boylston Hall, and afterwards on the same day at Lynn. It was Lib. 2.107. remarked that, contrary to the usage of the time, the Rev. Joshua N. Danforth, an agent of the Colonization Society, who officiated on the previous Sunday at the Essex-Street Church, refused to read the printed notice of the address. Twelve days later, in the one church sure to open its doors to him, the Baptist Church in Belknap Street, Mr. Garrison delivered another address, on the Progress of the Abolition Cause, before the African Abolition Freehold Society, in c

Fifty years later (1881) a friend of colonization and Liberia, after reviewing the deplorable condition of the republic, concludes: We shalle condition imposed upon us, and do not persist in crowding upon the shores of Liberia ship-loads of poor, ignorant, and improvident negro laborers, to die or to degsport them all in less than thirty years; while its pretence that only through Liberia, Sierra Leone, and similar colonies can the slave trade be abolished, conceals one of whom, to my knowledge, has emancipated any of his slaves to be sent to Liberia!!

The most important extraneous feature of the second volume of the Liberator was the republication of Letters Lib. 2.133-[181]. on American Slavery, addressed to Mr. Thomas Rankin, merchant at Middlebrook, Augusta Co., Va., by John Rankin, Pastor of the Presbyterian Churches of Ripley and Strait Creek, Brown County, Ohio, of which the first edition was published at Ripley, in the latter State, in 1826. The letters themselves appear to have been written in 1824, when their author was about 31 years of age. Following the reprint in the Liberator, an edition in book form was put forth by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, and a fifth edition was published by Isaac Knapp as late as 1838. Still another edition bears the imprint of Charles Whipple, Newburyport, 1836. Mr. Garrison pronounced them among the <
