nce from the principles on which we are associated as abolitionists. I cannot but regard the taking hold of one great moral enterprise while another is in hand and but half achieved, as an outrage upon common sense, somewhat like that of the dog crossing the river with his meat. It was about this time that Mr. Wright first made acquaintance with La Fontaine's Fables, and began the metrical version of them which is today the best in the language (see the advertisement to the first edition, 1841). But you have seen fit to introduce to the public some novel views—I refer especially to your sentiments on government and religious perfection—and they have produced the effect which was to have been expected. And now, considering what stuff human nature is made of, is it to be wondered at that some honest-hearted, thoroughgoing abolitionists should have lost their equanimity? As you well know, I am comparatively no bigot to any creed, political or theological; yet, to tell the plain trut

proposition by reference to the insufficiency of the guarantee—a Wall-Street view of debt collecting, replied Mr. Garrison. Lib. 9.59. Orange Scott complained that Birney's political argument Lib. 9.54. had been misreported, availing himself of the opportunity to insinuate that Mr. Garrison, as a Perfectionist, believed in spiritual wives. This clerical slander was most industriously propagated in public and in private during the next few years (e. g., in New Hampshire, in the winter of 1841, as related in Parker Pillsbury's Acts of the Anti-slavery apostles, p. 243). Abner Sanger writes on Mar. 4, 1840, from Danvers, Mass., to Mr. Garrison, of the Rev. Daniel Wise's recent meeting in that place: After the thirteen females had retired, Mr. Wise stated the evil tendencies of the non-resistance doctrines. He said that a man in Putney, Vt. [J. H. Noyes], had written something which you had commented upon with approbation, some time since. Lately, the same person, (he had forgotten

to raise the money, which he borrowed of Dr. Farnsworth, of Groton, and we immediately started the plan of the Standard. . . . It was sustained—mainly by means of the Fair—ever after by the Society (unwillingly, however, as the best men, both financially and as abolitionists— Francis Jackson, for example—preferred the Liberator, and thought it sufficient), up to the time when the abolition of slavery made it needless. Various friends contributed to sustain it editorially, till, some time in 1841, Mrs. [Lydia Maria] Child was appointed editor by the Exec. Com.(not Mr. C., who was never editor, although I obtained and paid for his services as a reporter, at Washington, for a short time). . . . I have had a good many letters to write since I have got over the fatigue of the annual meeting, as well as many other things to attend to. Hence, together with the continual anxiety of my mind about the packet, I have not felt in the mood of writing anything in relation to the anti-slave

ited States, He arrived in New York from Jamaica in April, and took ship on May 9 for England (Lib. 10.71). His brief stay in the metropolis was sufficient to convert him to the side of the disorganizers. The confounded woman question—the new opinion, the insane innovation, that whatever is morally right for a man to do is morally right for a woman to do—was the chief cause of his violent revulsion of feeling towards his old associates. See his circular letter to English abolitionists in 1841 (Lib. 11: 74, 82). Charles Stuart's mind, as Mrs. Mott pithily recorded in her diary, was swallowed up in the littleness of putting down woman ( Life and Letters of J. And L. Mott, p. 157). and being thoroughly acquainted with the great body of abolitionists, that in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts the most uncompromising friends of liberty and of the slave were against the reception of lady delegates as recommended—a statement bearing the brand of New Organization veracity.

Himes, pastor of the Chapel, Lib. 10.190. proposed that the Convention adopt the Old and the New Testaments as the only authentic record of faith and duty—in other words, that Bible proofs should alone be in order. This was discussed by Alcott, May, Garrison, the Rev. Luther Lee, the Rev. N. Colver, the Rev. John Pierpont, the Rev. Samuel Osgood, the Rev. Theodore Parker, and others, and did not prevail with the meeting. Garrison, nevertheless, emphatically Jas. Cannings Fuller, Feb. 20, 1841, to E. Pease (private circular). remarked, more than once, that he did not see how those who rejected the Scriptures as of divine authority, could properly take part in the discussion; for what did we know in regard to the Sabbath except from the Bible? At the opening of the Convention, and on various occasions during the discussion, to use his Lib. 11.19. own words, I expressly declared that I stood upon the Bible, and the Bible alone, in regard to my views of the Sabbath, the Church, and
