Boston man who had been imported to start an opposition paper, and made the most of the prejudice which some of the Vermonters felt towards the city upstart who had presumed to come and enlighten them as to their duties, and who was thought to be over-nice in matters of dress; I remember Mr. Garrison at the time he was in Bennington. He was then in the beauty and strength of early manhood. He dressed in a black dress coat, black trousers, white vest, and walked as erect as an Indian (James A. Briggs, in N. Y. Evening Post, August 5, 1879). but the editor of the Journal rarely deigned to notice the attacks on his paper, and never those on himself. He quickly won friends whose admiration and love he never lost, and who attached themselves to him with the loyal devotion which characterized those who followed his leadership in after years. Chief among these, as already mentioned, was James Ballard, the Principal of the Bennington English and Classical Seminary for Young Gentlemen and

which would not emphasize the slavery question to an extent which would repel the co-operation of Southern Whigs. Sumner was present at the conference, but did not speak. The convention met in Faneuil Hall, September 23. It was largely attended, and the session lasted from ten in the morning till nearly seven in the evening. No issue was made as to the organization or as to candidates. Charles Hudson, who had voted against the Mexican war bill in Congress, was chosen chairman, and Governor Briggs was renominated. There was, however, a general expectation, which had been noted in the newspapers, that there was to be a struggle as to the platform between the commercial and the antislavery Whigs,—between those who regarded the maintenance of a protective tariff and the unity of the Whig party as paramount, and those who regarded the questions growing out of slavery and the war as of supreme importance. The managers of the convention, who were of the former class, had arranged th

of a defamer of those you profess to love, and an enemy to the permanency of this Union. Sumner was disappointed in not having the co-operation of certain public men who might have effectively aided the new movement. Charles Hudson and Governor Briggs had avowed with great earnestness antislavery sentiments, and had been strongly opposed to Taylor's nomination; but they soon came to his support, making their decision as a choice of evils. The former lost his re-election to Congress, beinhe latter by their representatives in Congress and their policy in the State assumed an unequivocal position in favor of antislavery principles and measures. Extracts from Sumner's letters show his spirit and expectations at the time. To James A. Briggs, Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18, 1848, he wrote:— I rejoice in Mr. Giddings's success. His re-election to Congress as the Free Soil candidate. His constituents should be proud of him. There is no man in the House of Representatives who d

been glad to observe the moral indignation which has been aroused against it. The merchants of Boston subscribe to it,—it is their wont to do such things; but Governor Briggs expressed himself against it in conversation with me, as warmly as I do, and said that the people of Massachusetts would not sanction it. David Henshaw says i large number of prominent gentlemen—some of them in Boston, but more in the country—are earnest against his speech, and in private express their opinions. Governor Briggs was without courage, and took no public position against Webster. That long list of names attached to the letter to Mr. Webster shows some remarkable absencesLetter signed R. C. W. Curtis's Life of Webster, vol. II. p. 465 note. The letter to Mr. Haven there printed makes it probable that Mr. Webster indicated to Governor Briggs a preference for Mr. Winthrop as his successor. The Whigs put Winthrop forward as their candidate for senator, and the Free Soilers accepted the issue, mainta<
