rom them had become available as a political power. All, my friend, that is the only true church organization, when heads and hearts unite in working for the welfare of the human race! And how wonderfully everything came as it was wanted! How quickly the mingled flute and trumpet eloquence of Phillips responded to the clarion call of Garrison! How the clear, rich bugle-tones of Whittier wakened echoes in all living souls! How wealth poured from the ever-open hands of Arthur Tappan, Gerrit Smith, the Winslows, and thousands of others who gave even more largely in proportion to their smaller means! How the time-serving policy of Dr. Beecher drove the bold, brave boys of Lane Seminary into the battle-field! Politicians said, The abolitionists exaggerate the evil; they do not know whereof they affirm; and in response up rose Angelina and her sister Sarah, shrinking from the task imposed upon them by conscience, but upheld by the divine power of truth to deliver this message to

what extended scale is the identical object for which I am trying to get means. I have been connected with that business as commonly conducted from my boyhood and never let an opportunity slip. I have been opperating to some purpose the past season; but I now have a measure on foot that I feel sure would awaken in you something more than a common interest if you could understand it. I have just written my friends G. L. Stearns and F. B. Sanborn asking them to meet me for consultation at Gerrit Smith's, Peterboroa [N. Y.]. I am very anxious to have you come along; certain as I feel, that you will never regret having been one of the council. I would most gladly pay your expenses had I the means to spare. Will you come on? Please write as before. Your Friend John Brown. As I could not go to Peterboroa, he made an appointment in Boston, and I met him in his room at the American House in March, 1858. I saw before me a man whose mere appearance and bearing refuted in advance some o

s they state $2 per day as their price, and York shillings seem as familiar as any other currency. In the same shop you see one thing labelled as 7/6 (English) and another as $6.00. In fact, the American infusion is larger than I supposed. Mr. Smith, a Worcester man, . . . called on me .... He was eager for Worcester gossip.... He said there were many Yankees here and they prospered, as he had. ... I am amused to find that other American things creep in here also.

It so happens that we have just had a visit from Edwin Morton, Gerrit Smith's private tutor, who went to Europe at the time of John Brown. The wicked flea, whom no man pursueth, Judge Russell satirically termed him: but he is a very cultivated and refined person and had that career among English literati which seems

Oh, yes, Pink was married sometime after that to Mr. Smith, over in Rockport, and had three children; then her husband died and she afterwards married a cousin of his, another Mr. Smith, and she lives in Rockport now. TMr. Smith, and she lives in Rockport now. Thus pass the dreams of romance-Pink had always dwelt in my memory, a Hannah at the window binding shoes ; and meanwhile she had gone placidly through two Smith bridals and probably been happy as life goes.

This description of a remarkable old woman, unknown except to local fame, was found among Colonel Higginson's miscellaneous papers: Aunt Hannah dwells in a house in the outskirts of W--, solitary and alone, aged ninety-seven, taking the entire care of herself and keeping her house as nice as possible. Sometimes in the winter she is snowed up for weeks together, so that nobody sees her, and she is perfectly happy in this solitude, preparing fo

the Emancipator—a Ante, 2.342, 343, 351. transfer that was certainly very dishonorable, and wholly unworthy of the character of those who participated in it. Gerrit Smith says the transfer of the Emancipator was a great outrage—told Burleigh so—not publicly (Ms. Feb. 10, 1841, J. S. Gibbons to W. L. G.). The transfer of the Emancipator was indefensible (Ms. Nov. 26, 1870, Gerrit Smith to W. L. G.). Yet I doubt not that the mission of J. A. C. will do much for our persecuted Collins. enterprise. For what you have done to aid him, we all feel under the deepest obligations. May Heaven reward you a hundred-fold! Fear not that truth shall not triumph d for the year 1841. Dr. Channing, in his work on West India Emancipation, sorrowfully admitted the Lib. 11.6. pro-slavery character of American religion; and Gerrit Smith, speaking to this text, said: I do not hesitate to make the remark, infidel though it may seem in the eyes of many, that were all the religion of this land—th

er; but, on his invitation, I spent the evening with him and James C. Jackson (whose headquarters are now in Utica), and we had a talk on a great variety of topics, not excepting third-partyism. I spoke very plainly on the last topic, and made them both rather uneasy; for poor James evidently felt that he stood on a sandy foundation. In company with Luther Myrick, J. C. Jackson founded at Cazenovia, N. Y., in September, 1841, a third-party paper called the Madison County Abolitionist. Gerrit Smith had invited him to edit it, and contributed to his support (Lib. 11: 159; Mss. Sept. 29, 1841, J. S. Gibbons to W. L. G., and Oct. 9, 1841, J. C. Jackson to Abby Kelley). Just before Mr. Garrison's arrival, Jackson had publicly advertised a Liberty Party lecturing partnership with W. L. Chaplin, on the independent contract system— i. e., not as agents for any society or organization, and neither salaried nor living off the field; but on special terms for their services in every instance.
