S.] office a few months since, bemoaning to Garrison that there should have been any divisions. Why could we not all go on together? Why not, indeed? said Garrison; we stand just where we did. I see no reason why you cannot cooperate with the American Society. Oh, replied Whittier, but the American Society is not what it once was. It has the hat, and the coat, and the waistcoat of the old Society, but the life has passed out of it. Are you not ashamed, said Garrison, to come here wondering why we cannot go on together! No wonder you can't cooperate with a suit of old clothes! It ha

More pointedly, Whittier, stirred by the prospect of Texan annexation, had written, earlier in the year (Lib. 14: 63): Make our Union-bond a and adopted it, [anti-slavery]! Even Gerrit Smith has stultified himself so far as to have written a long letter to John G. Whittier, maintaining the same absurd doctrine. Nay, he has gone so far as to eulogize those diabolical provisions respectinf the concessions he has made to you, on various occasions, respecting the divinity of non-resistance. In his letter to Whittier, he perseveres in calling the American A. S. Society a Non-Resistance Society, because it will not support a pro-slavery

Brown, for aiding the escape of a female slave. The incident, except among abolitionists, See Whittier's poem and prefatory note on this incident on p. 89, vol. 3, of his Writings, ed. 1888. created no excitement in this Lib. 14.67. country.

With esteem and sympathy, I am very truly thy friend, John G. Whittier.

May your great example, noble Americans, be to other nations the source of social virtues; your power be the terror of all tyrants, the protector of the distressed, and your free country ever continue to be the asylum of the oppressed of all nations! Long before this address saw the light, the abolitionists had grave cause to dread Kossuth's arrival. Who shall receive him? asked Whittier. Who shall receive him? Who, unblushing, speak Lib. 21.204.

More than we hoped in that dark time When, faint with watching, few and worn, We saw no welcome day-star climb The cold gray pathway of the morn! O weary hours! O night of years!
