I have no despondency—no doubt: the triumph of truth is as sure as the light of heaven. I wish that the colored people of Providence, if they feel on the subject as their brethren do elsewhere—and I presume they do—would immediately call a public meeting, and express their disapprobation of the colonization scheme. Safety and self-respect require this measure at their hands. Now is the time for the people of color to act—fearlessly, firmly, understandingly. The meeting was held on Oct. 31. (See A Voice from Providence in Lib. 1.178.) Again, to the same, October 19: Henry E. Benson. Ms. Permit me to introduce to you my worthy friend, Mr. Joshua Coffin, whom you will find an agreeable and intelligent person. He is a warm friend of the anti-slavery cause, and has correct views relative to the Colonization Society. He is about opening a school in this city for the instruction of free colored persons, and I have no doubt will be very successful. . . . The dist

In addition to this, a variety of letters, relative to the paper, are constantly accumulating, which require prompt answers. We have just taken a colored apprentice, Thomas Paul, son of the highly respected pastor (of the same name) of the African Baptist Church in Belknap Street, who died in April, 1831 (Lib. 1.63). From the printing-office the lad went to the Noyes Academy in Canaan, N. H. (Lib. 5.71), and thence to Dartmouth College (Lib. 7.203), where he graduated in 1841 (Lib. 11.151). Afterwards he became a teacher. however, who will shortly be able to alleviate our toil. I cannot give you a better apprehension of the arduousness of my labors than by stating that it is more than six weeks since I visited Mr. Coffin Peter Coffin, father-in-law of Mr. May.

The Constitution of the United States knows nothing of white or black men; it makes no invidious dihowever, of a just discrimination among the supporters of that Society: Of the Address before Free People of Color, June, 1831, p. 23. benevolent and disinterested intentions of many individuals, especially in the free States, we ought not to doule—the whole people. I do not despair of seeing the time when our State and Address before Free People of Color, June, 1831, p. 16. National Assemblies will contain a fair proportion of colored representatives. In fact, Mr. Garrison lived teither like me or dislike me. The immediate occasion of the Address was a visit to Philadelphia during the month of June, 1831, which gave Mr. Garrison a temporary rest from the exhausting labors of the printing-office. In that city the First An

r, I was mistaken. Although Mayor Otis was lawyer enough to write his brother lawyer in South Carolina: You must perceive the intrinsic, if not insuperable, obstacles to legislative enactments made to prevent crimes from being consummated beyond the local jurisdiction, he did not refuse to help lay a possible foundation for some kind of Federal or inter-State action. The prying visit of his officers needed a pretext, and under the head of Information Wanted we read in the Liberator of October 29: Lib. 1.175. The Hon. Robert Y. Hayne, of Columbia, S. C. (through the medium of a letter), wishes to know of the Mayor of Boston who sent a number of the Liberator to him, a few weeks ago? The Mayor of Boston (through the medium of a deputy) wishes to know of Mr. Garrison whether he sent the aforesaid number to the aforesaid individual? Mr. Garrison (through the medium of his paper) wishes to know of the Hon. Robert Y. Hayne, of Columbia, S. C., and the Mayor of Boston, what aut

as no slavery but slavery in the abstract!). are incurably attached to practical slavery (Lib. 2.194). and I am persuaded that if upon investigation it should be found that any of our citizens are among the subscribers, they are those who would sincerely disavow the horrid doctrines which openly encourage insurrection and its consequences, etc. What came of further inquiry is related in the letter of ex-Mayor Otis published in October, 1848, His last political utterance. He died on October 28. in defence Lib. 18.162. of the candidacy of Zachary Taylor against the sentimental objection that the Whig nominee for President was a slaveholder. In an historical digression slightly at variance with the foregoing account, he says: No symptom of the abolition mania, or a desire to interfere with the domestic concerns of the South, was manifested in any quarter till within a few years. The rise and progress of this fever is curious. The first information received by me of a d

fully dealt with: we can even conceive of his motive being good in his own opinion,—but the citizens of Boston are urged to step forward and vindicate the cause of humanity, as it is outraged by the publication to which we refer. Mr. Garrison in vain sought a hearing in self-defence in the columns of Messrs. Gales and Seaton: The one an English cockney, with little to recommend him but his inflated vanity, and the other a sprig of the negro aristocracy of North Carolina (Lundy, Genius, October, 1831). You have (I Lib. 1.165. hope unintentionally) calumniated my character and put my life in jeopardy. There were several reasons why the editors of the Intelligencer should refuse to print a letter from this madman, telling them that their remarks on the Tarboroa extract breathe the spirit of murder and exhibit the incoherency of madness. Yet, as he reminded them, they had unhesitatingly published his prospectus, in which his peace doctrine was set forth. Moreover, he had not a si
