this interview, he sent Mr. Garrison the following letter, which made a profound impression on the recipient: John Humphrey Noyes to W. L. Garrison. Newark, N. J., March 22, 1837. Lib. 7.166; Am. Socialist, June 12, 1879. Dear Br. Garrison: In addressing you, I use the liberty which ought to exist between every membees it mean? In the second issue he for the first time published Oct. 13, 1837. (without the signature) Noyes's solemn and powerful Ante, p. 145. letter from Newark, as being in accordance with our views and feelings, and as clearly defining what is foolishly styled the no-government theory: it only means the perfect reign ofny single one. She speaks the sentiment of the town in saying that the Liberator will be supported in laying the axe to the root of the tree, as expressed by thy Newark correspondent. The cause must be kept in the hands of laymen, or it will not be maintained. In the same sense was the following comment on a Lib. 7.169. com

hope of the millennium begins where Dr. Beecher's expires—viz., at the overthrow of this nation. 7. The signs of the times clearly indicate the purpose of God to do his strange work speedily. The country is ripe for a convulsion like that of France; rather, I should say, for the French Revolution reversed. Infidelity roused the whirlwind in France. The Bible, by anti-slavery and other similar movements, is doing the same work in this country. So, in the end, Jesus Christ, instead of a blFrance. The Bible, by anti-slavery and other similar movements, is doing the same work in this country. So, in the end, Jesus Christ, instead of a bloodthirsty Napoleon, will ascend the throne of the world. The convulsion which is coming will be, not the struggle of death, but the travail of childbirth—the birth of a ransomed world. I have stated to you only in the letter the principal things which God has urged upon me by his Spirit, and by which he has moved me to nominate Jesus Christ for the Presidency, not only of the United States, but of the world. Is it not high time for abolitionists to abandon a government whose President has

M. Cornell, Quincy; Jonas Perkins, Weymouth; and Joseph H. Towne, Boston. The first and last alone were known for their anti-slavery connection; and, in the discussion to which the Appeal instantly gave rise, they had no Lib. 7.134. furt of Gov. Edward Everett, already distinguished in the diplomatic service of the country, as an original writer of several works, and more recently as editor of the North American Review.

Benson, on June 14: Whittier has just gone to New York, to relieve Stanton from the drudgery of epistolary correspondence, and enable him to come to Massachusetts for a few weeks, in order to complete the victory commenced last year—revolutionize John Quincy Adams's district—drive the Texas question, etc. Stanton is the Napoleon of our cause. Mr. Adams is now at Quincy. He has lately had quite a visitation from several abolition fanatics, and received them all with respect and cordiality. First, James G. Birney and Francis Jackson had a long interview with him—then John G. Whittier and W. L. Garrison—then Angelina E. and Sarah M. Grimke—and then Wm. Goodell. I will tell you something about these visits hereafter. For Mr. Adams's own drafts on the abolitionists for support, see p. 77 of the pamphlet edition of H. B. Stanton's Remarks in the Represen

that Lovejoy was sacrificed on Southern soil. All the towns along the Mississippi were frequented by Southerners, often largely settled by them. Little more than a dozen years had elapsed since the strenuous exertions of Governor Edward Coles had barely defeated the attempt of the Southern element in Illinois to legalize slavery by Washburne's Sketch of Edward Coles, p. 190. amending the constitution. Alton, situated in the southern half of the State, opposite the slave-cursed shore of Missouri and not far from St. Louis, in intimate commercial relations with the cotton-growing districts, was, though owing its prosperity, and even a certain reputation for philanthropy, to Eastern settlers, predominantly Southern in tone. Southern divines helped to harden Tanner's Martyrdom of Lovejoy, p. 125. public sentiment against the further countenance or toleration of Lovejoy; Southern doctors took an active part in the mob, and one of them perhaps fired the murderous shot.

In view of such a representation, the question urges itself upon me—What have I, as a Christian, to do with such a villain?

If it be possible, let the shout of emancipated millions rise, before his ear is dust whose voice first waked the trumpet-note which is rocking the nation from side to side. To him (need I name him?) with at least equal truth may be applied the language of Burke to Fox: It will be a distinction honorable to the age, Speech on Mr. Fox's East India Bill, Dec. 1, 1783. that the rescue of the greatest number of the human race from the greatest tyranny that was ever exercised, has fallen to the lot of one with abilities and dispositions equal to the task;— that it has fallen to the lot of one who has the enlargement to comprehend, the spirit to undertake, and the eloquence to support so great a measure of hazardous benevolence.

In both cases the terms are correctly used, as the circumstances conclusively show. Three presses had already been destroyed on the same spot by the same community; a fourth had been procured, whose destruction meant silence—the opposition, grown more desperate, having already almost compassed the editor's assassination. He might have removed the Observer to Quincy or to Springfield, but there was no assurance that the liberty of the press would be vindicated in either place. The violence at Alton was, indeed, actually preceded and begotten by violence at St. Louis, but the mob-spirit was everywhere endemic at the North. With unsurpassable courage Lovejoy accepted the decision of his friends that the stand should be made then and there, not as for an anti-slavery publication merely or mainly, but for the right under the Constitution and upon American soil to utter
