ll more powerful manifestation of enthusiastic approbation of my labors in the anti-slavery cause. I mention this fact to show how vain have been the attempts of my enemies to make me odious even among my abolition brethren. As every one present must have felt, the mere meeting at the State House was a personal triumph for Mr. Garrison, which eulogy and applause might emphasize, but which no amount of hissing could diminish. Nor had it yet reached its climax. A week before, the January 19, 1837. renewal in Congress of the presentation of petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District, chiefly through the untiring instrumentality of John Quincy Adams, had led the House of Representatives to pass a fresh Lib. 7.18. resolution to suppress and discourage them. Moved by Hawes, of Kentucky. The Speaker ruled unexpectedly that the previous gag-rule expired with the session (5th Ann. Report Mass. A. S. Society, p. 22). All petitions, 5th Ann. Report Mass. A.

an, addressed to bro. Phelps, in reference to the clerical disaffection. He says H. C. Wright will be recalled by the Executive Committee unless he ceases interweaving his no government views with abolitionism. Two months later, Mr. Wright's commission having expired, the Executive Committee would not renew it because of his peculiar peace views, and because he declined giving a pledge to confine himself to the discussion of abolitionism (Mss. Oct. 20, 1837, Abby Kelley to W. L. G.; Nov. 13, 1837, C. C. Burleigh to J. M. McKim). He thinks it is unfortunate that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society is connected at all with the Liberator, as it gives the enemy some advantage in saying that the Society is responsible for all that I write and publish. We are to have a Board meeting on Monday, expressly on this point; and what August 28. will be the result, I can hardly predict. Probably friend Knapp and myself will have to resume the pecuniary responsibilities of the paper, but

of the Liberator's continuance—this unlucky makeshift, as the event proved—and amid the depression caused in the Benson circle by their two-fold bereavement, I never knew a family which seemed to me to be bound together more closely in the bonds of brotherly and sisterly love than the Bensons, and it almost seems as if I could feel to my own heart's core the vibration of that string which has now been struck in theirs (C. C. Burleigh to Edward M. Davis, after Henry Benson's death. Ms. Jan. 23, 1837). Mr. Garrison sat down to compose the fifth annual report of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. Not a trace of despondency was to be found in the opening sentence: The Report, p. 3. tone which the Managers . . . would assume . . . is one of joyful hope to the manacled slaves—of sincere congratulation to the friends of human liberty, universally—of ardent gratitude to God. Yet these words were read in the loft of a stable, the only place obtainable by the Society for its meeting

city is on a high hill. If you plant the standard of perfect holiness where you stand, many will see and flow to it. I judge from my own experience that you will be deserted by many of your present friends; but you will be deserted as Jonah was by the whale—the world, in vomiting you up, will heave you upon the dry land. . . . We see the working of this communication in the following letter written a few weeks later: W. L. Garrison to Henry C. Wright, in New York. Boston, April 16, 1837. Ms. It is a great disappointment to me to hear that dear bro. Weld will be absent from New York during the anniversary Theodore D. Weld. week. We need the aid of his sagacious, far-reaching, active mind on that occasion; yet I grant that the preservation of his health and life is of more consequence. May he obtain a speedy restoration, and be more provident of his bodily energies in time to come! I long to know that he has embraced our ultra pacific views, and is ready to stand b

s Beecher was published in thirteen successive letters in the Liberator (7.102, 106, 111, 119, 122, 126, 130, 139, 147, 155, 159, 167, 179), and afterwards in pamphlet form. The eleventh is mainly concerned with the woman question. Sarah Grimke continued the discussion in a series of letters, on the province of woman, addressed to Mary S. Parker, and intended for publication in the New England Spectator (Lib. 8.4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28). In a letter to H. C. Wright, from Groton, Mass., Aug. 12, 1837, Sarah says: The Lord . . . has very unexpectedly made us the means of bringing up the discussion of the question of woman's preaching, and all we have to do is to do our duty. . . . I cannot consent to make my Quakerism an excuse for my exercising the rights and performing the duties of a rational and responsible being. . . . All I claim is as woman, and for any woman whom God qualifies and commands to preach his blessed gospel. I claim the Bible, not Quakerism, as my sanction, and I w

Stanton's Remarks in the Representatives' Hall, Feb. 23, 24, 1837. Lundy, in particular, had been most useful to him in imparting his special knowledge of the condition of Texas. See Mr. Adams's Diary for July 11, 1836, and Sept. 1, 1837, and his manuscript letters to Lundy of May 12, May 20, and June 2-6, 1836; also the Life of Lundy, pp. 188, 295. Lundy's last visit to Texas (his third) had been in 1834-35, July 8 to April 5 ( Life, pp. 112-188).

40 young men, who felt desirous of showing their opinion on the subject of the schism between the abolitionists in and near Boston? Why, my dear sir, our hands would be full were we to reprimand all we see faulty or remiss in different branches of our Association. The Executive Committee was not constituted for such work as this. Look at our Constitution. We are to charge the enemy and rout him, and not whip and spur our own comrades. I have seen the remarks in the Philanthropist of Sept. 15, Copied in Lib. 7.161. Mr. Birney reserved his opinion on the merits of the Boston controversy; saw indiscretion on both sides; had no sympathy with the spirit of Mr. Garrison's rejoinder to the Appeal, which manifested an unchristian temper; was grieved and disappointed by his course, and his former confidence in his judgment and prudence was shaken. and concur with most of them.

inst which the duty of a general remonstrance belonged especially to the clergy and to religious bodies. These, too, received the Society's endorsement, as did resolutions offered by Lib. 7.90. George Bourne in censure of prominent ecclesiastical palliations or bold defences of slaveholding during the past year. Such, for example, was the popish action of 4th Ann. Report Am. A. S. Soc.; Lib. 7.89. the Congregational General Association of Connecticut (at Norfolk, Litchfield County) in June, 1836, under the lead of Leonard Bacon, in opposition to the practice of itinerant agents enlightening the members of churches without the advice and consent of the pastors and regular ecclesiastical bodies. Mr. Garrison's part at the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Lib. 7.79, 90, 98; Right and Wrong, 1837, p. 32.

It was, indeed, a death-knell to the hopes of seditious plotters in our ranks, and of open and avowed enemies. It is worthy of remark, moreover, that all the speakers were applauded, except Mr. Fitch. This was on the evening of September 27. The day had passed without any demonstration from the appellants, who had nevertheless been earnestly laboring with twenty-four orthodox clergymen in several Lib. 7.170. private caucuses, from which lay delegates were excluded. Their spokesman at last, on the day following, was Deacon Gulliver, who forced upon the meeting a topic which it would have avoided. He was, at Mr. Garrison's own request, allowed to read a personal attack, to which the Convention listened in silence and then

uo the idea of publishing a protest against us. To this, Angelina adds a postscript, asking— What would'st thou think of the Liberator abandoning abolitionism as a primary object, and becoming the vehicle of all these grand principles? The Grimkes had discussed with Mrs. Chapman the idea of a woman's paper, but were averse to separating the sexes into different organizations more than could be avoided, and at present they were not shut out from a hearing in men's papers (Ms. Aug. 27, 1837, S. M. Grimke to H. C. Wright). Is not the time rapidly coming for such a change; say after the contract with the Massachusetts Society is closed with the editor; the first of next year? I trust brother Garrison may be divinely directed. These and other similar conferences transpired in a letter dated Nov. 25, 1839, published by John E. Fuller in the Massachusetts Abolitionist, and reprinted in the 2d Annual Report of the Mass. Abolition Society (Free American, 3: 58). The Grimk
