The subject of social reorganization, wrote the latter on December 16, 1843, to R. D. Ms. Webb, is attracting general attention, and exciting a growing interest. Many schemes are in embryo, and others have had a birth, and are now struggling for an existence. As experiments to bless our race, I feel an interest in them all, though I am nothat, in the elegant phrase of Elizur Wright, jr., wabbles around a centre somewhere between 25 Cornhill [the Liberator and A.

Of this colleague, a very well-looking man of about thirty, Quincy writes to Webb (Ms. June 14, 1844): He has not been much heard of in the cause, but has been engaged in it for several years. He belongon, whose sessions began in the Marlboroa Chapel, Boston, on the 28th of Lib. 14: 91. May. Quincy thus epitomized it for Webb: The New England Convention was the best one we ever Ms. June 14, 1844. had — the fullest attendance, the most spirhe meetings will be very beneficial in disarming prejudice and comforting friends. By September 22, Quincy could write to Webb: The Ms. Disunion doctrine obtains almost universally among the old-school abolitionists, Ohio was an exception. The us about the Rogers business. Your idea of French and his having behaved like spoiled children is exactly correct (Ms.). Webb, the writer goes on to note, had formed his opinion from the printed controversy before Quincy's private version reached h

t. 13, 1846, R. D. Webb to W. L. G. Alliance raised a salutary storm in the Pharisaism of Dublin. It was during this visit to Dublin that Mr. Garrison sat for the daguerreotype which furnished the frontispiece of the present volume. A son of Mr. Webb's accompanied him. While we waited at the artist's we looked out of the window. It was a stormy day. The wind blew off a man's hat, and he had a stiff race after it, and I remember the shock to my feelings that such a great and good man as yourat port, a meeting at Concert Hall went off famously, with Thompson in the chair as President of the League. Scotland was again royally scoured, in parts already gone over (with a superlative occasion at Glasgow in the Ms. Oct. 29, W. L. G. to Webb. City Hall, lasting five hours on October 28), and also at Kirkcaldy, Perth, and Aberdeen. But the most Oct. 22, 24, 26. interesting incident of all was the presentation to Mr. Garrison, on October 21 (the anniversary of the Boston mob), of Lib

lly he remarked, on this head: A compromise is but an act of Congress. It may be overruled at any time. It gives us no security. But the Constitution is stable. . . . Let us go back and stand upon the Constitution! So, for the sake of that institution which he pronounced indispensable for the good of both races, Thomas H. Benton. he offered what Benton denominated, with good reason, a string of abstractions and firebrands. There is, wrote Mr. Garrison on March 1, 1847, to Richard Ms. Webb, no other question so universally discussed as that of slavery, and within the last six months a most surprising change in public sentiment has undeniably taken place. The cowardly pro-slavery war which our national Administration is waging with Mexico, is producing a mighty reaction against the Slave Power, and, out of the slave States, is generally regarded with abhorrence. Mr. Calhoun, who is the Napoleon of slavery, is evidently anticipating a Waterloo defeat, in due season. You

Hovey, A rich, money-making merchant [of Boston], as Quincy described him to Webb (Ms. Oct. 3, 1848), at the same time a thorough-going Garrisonian. He came into the cause some three years ago, by the way of Democracy, Free Trade, Hard Money, No Monopoly, Freedom of Public Land, etc. Finding out that all the political partiest to lose sight of the true issue. Already, in this region, I hear it said that a number of those who have hitherto acted with us think they can now vote, even for Martin Van Buren! What infatuation! As the election drew nigh, Quincy wrote to Webb (Ms. Oct. 3, 1848), that the Free Soil fever has carried off multitudes of our abolitionists, and it is to be feared that many of them will never recover themselves. Similar counsel, apropos of an impending anti-slavery meeting, was conveyed

lbrick left a bequest of $500 to Mr. Garrison (Ms. Oct. 11, 1859, Edward S. Philbrick to W. L. G.) More striking to the public eye, and more untimely, was Lib. 29.70, 83, 87. the death of Charles F. Hovey in April, 1859. Not a Apr. 28. vet eran of the thirties, like the foregoing, he had nevertheless fought the good fight for nearly two decades with unquenchable ardor and utter devotion. Quincy, whose character of him has already been quoted, renewed his Ante, p. 220. testimony to Webb in 1857: Hovey is, on the whole, the best man I know—the most thoroughly conscientious and truly benevolent and rarely liberal Ms. Nov. 24, 1857.; and Mr. Garrison bore witness: What always impressed me was his moral courage. I think if there was ever a man delivered from the fear of man, it was Charles F. Hovey. Lib. 29.87. In his will he not only made specific bequests to certain Lib. 29.92. antislavery laborers, Mr. Garrison included, but devised about a quarter of his estate for the a
