Not a Apr. 28. vet eran of the thirties, like the foregoing, he had nevertheless fought the good fight for nearly two decades with unquenchable ardor and utter devotion. Quincy, whose character of him has already been quoted, renewed his Ante, p. 220. testimony to Webb in 1857: Hovey is, on the whole, the best man I know—the most thoroughly conscientious and truly benevolent and rarely liberal Ms. Nov. 24, 1857.; and Mr. Garrison bore witness: What always impressed me was his moral courage.

In his will he not only made specific bequests to certain Lib. 29.92. antislavery laborers, Mr. Garrison included, but devised about a quarter of his estate for the active promotion of the antislavery and other reforms.

They were held in the same parlors of the old Hollis Street house in which the ladies of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society met after the mob of 1835, and received a new ally in Harriet Martineau (ante, 2: 52, 57, 60). Like Charles F. Hovey, he left a noble bequest to the cause so dear to them both, and provided a fund which lasted beyond the abolition of slavery and helped to swell the contributions for the education of the freedmen. The amount was $10,000,

The reluctance of the President to press upon the Border States the immediate abolition of slavery which he had decreed for the rebellious States, and his readiness to allow a small Lib. 33.202. fraction of the (white) voting population in the latter to form new State governments and legislate for the freedmen, will be, and have been already in large measure, forgotten, while the brief address which he gave at Nov. 19.

This, beautifully engrossed and illuminated, Mr. Garrison had carefully framed on his return home, and it is doubtful if he left any heirloom to his children in which he took greater pride and pleasure.

Several, you will see, are faulty in this last respect. As none seemed to satisfy the sculptor entirely, he finally put on the tablet a simple prose inscription, which is quite well expressed: Two woodcocks killed at Holkham, Novr: 1830, by Francis Chantrey, sculptor, at one shot; presented to Thos. Wm. Coke, Esq.r 1834. There is a space, however, on the marble for the addition of an inscription, if they should ever get one that suited. If you and Felton will write inscriptions, I will most gladly send them to Lord Leicester; indeed, I should like to make such a contribution.

The convention was unanimous, and no other name than his was considered. His early formed resolution not to be a candidate for any political office was known to the delegates, but the emergency was thought to be one which required him to forego his personal wishes, and was urged in the letter which communicated to him the nominat
