Garrison flung himself into the anti-Texas movement with all his customary force and fire. Elected a delegate to the Faneuil Hall Convention by the influence of Francis Jackson, he took a leading part in its proceedings, created the most stir in the whole matter, Wendell Phillips thought. Charles Sumner, who heard him speak for the first time, was struck with his natural eloquence, and described his words as falling in fiery rain. Again at a mass meeting for Middlesex County, held at Concord, to consider the aggressions of the slave-power, did the words of the pioneer fall in fiery rain. Apprehensive that the performance of Massachusetts, when the emergency arose, would fall far short of her protestations, he exclaimed, I have nothing to say, sir, nothing. I am tired of words, tired of hearing strong things said, where there is no heart to carry them out. When we are prepared to state the whole truth, and die for it, if necessary-when, like our fathers, we are prepared

ecaries say. This is the final shape which Garrison's favorite Old Testament Hebraisms gave to the action of the society: Resolved, That the compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell-involving both parties in atrocious criminality-and should be immediately annulled. At its tenth anniversary, in 1844, the American Society resolved likewise that there should be no Union with slaveholders; and in May of the same year the New England Society voted by a large majority to dissolve the covenant with death, and the agreement with hell. Almost the whole number of the Garrisonian Abolitionists had by this time placed upon their banner of immediate emancipation the revolutionary legend No Union with slaveholders. Cathago est delenda were now ever on the lips of the pioneer. The Union it must and shall be destroyed became the beginning, the middle, and the end of all his utterances on the slavery question.

sentiment more tolerant of the Garrisonian opposition to the covenant with death and the agreement with hell. To the agitation growing out of the scheme for the annexation of Texas must, however, be ascribed the premium among all the anti-Union working facts and forces of the first few years after Garrison and his coadjutors had raised the cry of No union with slaveholders. This agitation renewed the intensity and sectionalism of the then almost forgotten struggle over the admission of Missouri nearly a quarter of a century before, and which was concluded by the Missouri compromise. This settlement was at the time considered quite satisfactory to the South. But Calhoun took an altogether different view of the matter twenty years later. The arrangement by which the South was excluded from the upper portion of the Louisiana Territory he came to regard as a cardinal blunder on the part of his section.

Unable to obtain redress of the wrong done her citizens, the State appointed agents to go to Charleston and New Orleans and test the constitutionality of the State laws under which the local authorities had acted. But South Carolina and Louisiana, especially the former, to whom Samuel Hoar was accredited, evinced themselves quite equal to the exigency to which the presence of the Massachusetts agents gave rise. To cut a long story short, these gentlemen, honored citizennceiving discretion to be the better part of valor, they beat a hasty retreat back to their native air.

The fact is that within those two decades the slave-holding had been completely outstripped by the non-slave-holding States in wealth, population, and social growth. The latter had obtained over the former States an indisputable supremacy in those respects. Would not the political balance settle also in the natural order of things in the Northern half of the Union unless it could be kept where it then was to the south of Mason and Dixon's line by an artificial political make-weight. This artificial political make-weight was nothing less than the acquisition of new slave territory to supply the demand for new slave States.

and shall be destroyed became the beginning, the middle, and the end of all his utterances on the slavery question. The attitude of the anti-slavery disunionists to the Government which they were seeking to overthrow was clearly stated by Francis Jackson in a letter returning to the Governor of Massachusetts his commission as a justice of the peace. Says he, To me it appears that the vices of slavery, introduced into the constitution of our body politic by a few slight punctures, has now soee or four years ago.
