m consequence and to increase the number of his associates. When Garrison reached Boston, he found that there, too, circulars had preceded him, calling upon the public to meet in front of his office on a given evening armed with plenty of tar and feathers, but although a dense mob breathing threatenings which foreboded a storm came together, they dispersed without doing any damage. The angry temper of the Northern public had also been shown elsewhere. In Connecticut, in 1833, Prudence Crandall, who had established a school for colored girls, was shut out of the churches, shops and public conveyances; her well was filled with manure, and her house smeared with filth and at last set on fire. At Boston the directors of the Athenaeum library excluded Mrs. Child from using it because she was an Abolitionist. When anti-slavery sentiment made itself audible at Lane Theological Seminary, the trustees, with the assent of the president, Dr. Lyman Beecher, suppressed all debate on the sub

While pursuing her vocation of a teacher, Miss Crandall made the acquaintance of the Liberator through a nice cr young ladies was dispensing to white girls. This was Miss Crandall's opportunity to do something for the colored people, afe of an Episcopal clergyman who lived in the village, Miss Crandall records, told me that if I continued that colored girl w matters stood with her in these circumstances, Prudence Crandall conceived the remarkable purpose of devoting her school to assure the financial success of the enterprise. When Miss Crandall had fully matured her plans in the premises she announcicut which made the holding of such a school as that of Miss Crandall's illegal, the good Canterbury folk procured the passagons, and the vilest insinuations, says Mr. May, against Miss Crandall, her pupils, and her patrons; but for the most part, pe

espair, from its editor, so weak in thought of self, so supreme in thought of others. This carelessness of what appertained to the things which concerned self, and devotion to the things which concerned his cause, finds apt and pathetic illustration in this letter to Samuel J. May in the summer of 1834, when his pecuniary embarrassments and burdens were never harder to carry: In reply to your favor of the 24th [July], my partner joins with me in consenting to print an edition of Miss Crandall's [defence] as large as the one proposed by you, at our own risk. As to the profits that may arise from the sale of the pamphlet, we do not expect to make any; on the contrary, we shall probably suffer some loss, in consequence of the difficulty of disposing of any publication, however interesting or valuable in itself. But a trial so important as Miss C.'s, involving such momentous consequences to a large portion of our countrymen, implicating so deeply the character of this great nat

e that you show yourself tenacious of our rights. I am most heartily glad that so good a cause has fallen into so good hands. I have read this evening the minority report. It seems to me more moderate in its tone than is customary with documents from Southerners on any subject connected with Slavery. Nor is it destitute of a certain form of logic. But I have not found any thing in it which is not amply anticipated by your report.
