B. YERRINTON & SON, PRINTERS - -1854. - - - - -REPORT. - - -The brightness of the New Year of 1854 did not fall without its -shadows on the community of which we make a part. The storm of the -28th and 29th of December, unprecedented in severity, for many years, -had brought to some homes actual bereavement or severe pecuniary loss, -to many, serious annoyance, inconvenience and anxiety, and to all, -that subduing, saddening influence which is experienced, however -temporarily, when any “great outrages of weather” unsettle the -thoughtless security as to life and safety, that usually pervades the -public mind. For several days, the mails were stopped, and almost all -communication with the environs of Boston cut off. When tidings -_could_ arrive, and nearly every hour brought fresh intelligence of -peril, disaster or shipwreck, and the very aspect of nature herself -seemed redolent of melancholy suggestion, it certainly would not be -unnatural if, in some minds, the whole coloring of thought assumed a -graver and more sober hue. This has been the case with ourselves. The -Bazaar of 1853 has closed with what we are entitled, in our -circumstances, to estimate as _brilliant success_, the receipts being -four thousand two hundred and fifty-six dollars; and yet we feel -impelled to a more thoughtful and serious train of remark than may, at -first view, appear natural or appropriate. To the minds of most -persons, the mention of a Ladies’ Bazaar suggests ideas of a purely -gay and festal character; of an occasion, where it is well if the -gaiety and festivity do not degenerate into mere thoughtlessness and -frivolity. How it may be in Bazaars designed for the support of -popular charities, we are unable to say; but, when we are speaking of -one whose funds are devoted to the sustentation of the American -Anti-Slavery Society, we assure all who are willing to listen, that -ours is grave work, performed in any but a thoughtless and -irresponsible spirit. - -Let us recal, for a moment, the written records of thought and feeling -that accompany the exquisite and beautiful donations of which the -Bazaar is made up. These latter suggest only ideas of taste, and -skill, and elegant leisure, and abundant wealth; and the looker-on can -hardly do else than associate such brightness of coloring and harmony -of tint, with the glow of health and happiness. But with these -suggestions, do the facts accord? Far from it. From the homes of -actual poverty, from young girls painfully earning their own bread, -and yet saving something to purchase the material that shall be -fashioned into the gay clothing, never to be worn for their own -decoration, from the chambers of sickness and languor, and hopeless -disease, from Asylums for the Blind, from schools that charity has -established for the help of the wholly indigent,――it is from sources -like these, that very great and valuable assistance is obtained. True, -the gifts of the happy and the prosperous are here also; the -glittering ornament, that has graced many a gay pageant; the exquisite -picture, in which the painter has made real his happiest conception, -or recalled some favorite scene; the admired and successful volume, -fresh from the hands of its author. The minister of religion, the -philosopher, the artist, and the poet, have given us of their best, -have freely contributed that spiritual and ideal wealth, whose price -is above rubies. But all these gifts, however diverse their source, -come to us with words of the most earnest encouragement, with -assurances of exhaustless sympathy, and promises of continued support. -Much of the help thus given, by deed and word, is sent from other -lands. To the moral beauty of the contribution, it adds not a little, -in our eyes, that such is the case. The fact itself furnishes a most -invigorating testimony to the truth of the principle on which the -Anti-Slavery enterprise is based. By a spontaneous conviction, -overmastering nationalities, and usage, and creed, and language, men -differing world-wide in all beside, are laboring together in the -promulgation of the cardinal doctrine of our Anti-Slavery creed, that -_under no conceivable circumstances_, can one man hold another as -goods and chattels. - -We have barely indicated the sources and the motives, from, and by -which, the donations to the Bazaar are obtained. Suffer us, on behalf -of the immediate managers and promoters of this effort, to assure -these generous donors, that they are received in a spirit not wholly -unworthy of the great work to which they are consecrated. Our distant -friends cannot know the difficulties and discouragements that, at -every step, beset such an undertaking as ours. It is _the twentieth -Bazaar_ that has just closed. The interest afforded by novelty and a -spirit of adventure has long since died away. The number of -Abolitionists in the city which sent back Thomas Sims is necessarily -small; and, of that small number, only a few are so situated as to -give to the Bazaar much earnest and effective labor. Many of the -Committee do not reside in Boston, and several of its most efficient -members are absent from the country. - -Within the last two years, two of those who have been co-workers with -us almost from the beginning of the conflict, have passed onward to a -higher service. The example of a long life, devoted to deeds of -self-sacrificing beneficence, the memory of beauty and genius, and -gifts still more excellent than either beauty or genius,――these are -all that remain to us. - -Of the thousand petty toils, and wearying annoyances, and uncongenial -duties that attend the Bazaar, we will not speak. They would be -burdensome under any circumstances; for buying and selling, even when -viewed as a prelude to getting gain, is not in itself an interesting -occupation. Neither do we dwell on the misunderstandings and -misrepresentations, and absence of popular sympathy, to which our -position exposes us. - -Why, then, do we refer to all this? Not, certainly, for the purpose of -discouraging or saddening a single heart that has ever bade us God -speed. - -There is a practice in the Catholic Church, which, Protestant as we -are, attracts our sympathy. Any suffering, no matter how earthly its -character, any labor, however mundane and common-place, becomes -ennobled and sanctified, if removed from the category of common -duties, and performed as a religious offering. Let it be so with this -annual Bazaar. The prayers and blessings interwoven with so many -memorials of patient toil, the gifts that enrich it, alike of the high -and the low, the happy and the sorrowing, the self-sacrifice that -marks every step of its progress, the weariness, care and anxiety that -are its necessary attendants, let us, as it were, cast them all upon -the altar of our faith, remembering, as we do so, the words, “To do -good and communicate, forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well -pleased.” - -From the following towns and cities in Great Britain, large and -valuable donations were received:――Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle, -Leeds, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dublin and Cork. - -We have peculiar pleasure in the reception of the Liverpool Box, as it -is the first we have ever received from that town. The close -connection, too, that exists between Liverpool and the United States, -renders it doubly valuable. Probably no town in the United Kingdom is -so pro-slavery in its sympathies as Liverpool, and hence, by help from -such a quarter, we are the more encouraged. We are aware how much we -owe to the influence of the Rev. Francis Bishop, whose travels a year -or two since in this country, contrary to the usual experience of -English gentlemen, particularly clergymen, seems but to have deepened -his horror of American Slavery, and called forth his most strenuous -efforts for its extinction. - -The Bristol Box included collections from Cheltenham, Gloucester, -Bridgwater, Bath, Frenchay, Chatham, Southampton, Isle of Wight, -Yarmouth and Chudleigh. As usual, almost all the articles were pretty -and well chosen, and some, particularly elegant and valuable. This was -especially the case in respect to the Honiton Lace. A great part of -it, (and several very handsome articles were received besides those -contained in the Bristol box,) was sold on the very first morning the -Bazaar opened. A very beautiful Honiton Lace Pin Cushion, with the -word _Liberty_ formed in the work, the gift of the lace-maker, was -greatly admired, and sold readily. The Basket Work was eagerly sought -for, and, indeed, most of the Bristol articles found a good market. - -Our Newcastle friends have again called us to mind. The congregation -of the Rev. George Harris, though occupied with the erection of a new -church, and unusual claims on their charity, in consequence of the -prevalence of cholera in their town, have yet remembered those who are -forbidden, _by law_, to worship God according to their own -consciences, and whose worldly estate is such, that pestilence in -their midst is esteemed a boon instead of a curse. - -Leeds and Manchester have made their usual generous response to our -call. All the little objects of taste and art, pictures, books, &c., -contained in the Leeds box, and the Papier Maché in that from -Manchester, were much valued. We should return our thanks in an -especial manner to Mr. Wilson Armistead, of Leeds, for books and -tracts that actually reached us. We are not the less grateful for a -larger and more valuable collection which it was not our fortune to -receive. The vessel in which they were sent from Glasgow was -shipwrecked, and the packages lost. - -In respect to the very costly and elegant collection sent from London, -by Mrs. Massie, we have to regret that it should have arrived so late. -Notwithstanding our utmost exertions, we were unable to obtain the box -from the Custom House till the evening of the 29th, and the Bazaar -closed on the 31st. The very pretty box from Cork was displayed at the -same time, and the effect of their arrival was at once evinced in the -greatly increased receipts; but still, as our first two days are -always the best in respect to sales, we could not but regret that so -many valuable and beautiful articles should have been absent at the -opening. It is almost impossible to do full justice to the boxes -arriving under such circumstances. They must necessarily be unpacked -and examined under great difficulties. Mrs. Massie’s full and ample -lists were a great assistance; but as such beautiful crochet work as -that we received from Cork, is hardly known in this country, we should -have been glad had our Cork friends affixed their own prices. The -magnificent Ottomans in the London box, were the admiration of all -beholders, but we were able to dispose of only one. The other has been -carefully reserved for another sale. The beautiful Silvered Glass also -met with its due appreciation, and sold readily, no specimens so fine -having been offered before in Boston. But the crowning glory of the -London Contribution were the very exquisite engravings presented by -Thomas Agnew, Esq., of Manchester. The subjects are――“The Independents -asserting Liberty of Conscience before the Westminster Assembly, -1644,” and “The Royal Agricultural Society of England.” In the former, -most of the faces are portraits which have been taken at great expense -and trouble from original paintings, and in the latter, the portraits -are those of living individuals. Both of these attracted very great -attention, and the first named was purchased by Mr. Wendell Phillips, -as were also the valuable portraits of Sir Humphrey Davy, John Dalton, -Esq., and Rev. Dr. Massie. “The Royal Agricultural Society” will be -sure to find a ready sale next year, as it would, we think, have done -this, had it been received in sufficient season, as will also the -beautiful “English Lake Scenery.” - -To the Rev. Dr. Massie, the Bazaar is much indebted for a little work, -very tastefully got up, entitled, “Slavery, the Crime and Curse of -America.” A large number of copies having been received for gratuitous -distribution, the Committee have circulated them as extensively as was -possible, and, as far as might be in their power, have endeavored to -bring the work before the notice of members of pro-slavery evangelical -churches, (if we may be allowed to depart so far from the original -meaning of words, as to place them in such a collocation.) - -Two of our Scotch boxes, those from Edinburgh and Glasgow, arrived in -ample season, and having time for a very careful and thorough -examination, we are prepared to speak of their contents in terms of -high eulogy. The beautiful Embroidered Muslin, Shawls and Scarfs of -different patterns, Dress Pieces, and some very elegant Aprons, are -the articles that occur to us on the Glasgow table as peculiarly -saleable. On the Edinburgh table, one beautiful Prize Plaid Shawl, -with rose, thistle and shamrock worked upon it, and two Scarfs of the -Murray pattern, were greatly admired. Scarfs of this description were -in great request, and we could have sold many more than we did. - -May we take the liberty of inserting here, that a handsome Highland -Shawl, in which the colors are simply blue and white, would, at the -next Bazaar, find a ready purchaser? Such an one has been inquired for -with praiseworthy perseverance for several years, and we would gladly, -by-and-by, be able to supply the demand. - -We are grateful to our Edinburgh friends for some very good -Autographs. Those written particularly for the occasion, by the -venerable James Montgomery, were received with very great pleasure. - -Owing to some unfortunate mistake in Great Britain, the abundant and -beautiful collection of our Perth friends did not reach us till the -second week of the Bazaar. The box was finally sent to New York, -instead of Boston, and it was only by great exertion on the part of -Mr. Gay, that it arrived in season. The missing box had been waited -for with so much anxiety, that its appearance was hailed with the -utmost delight. The abundance, variety and beauty of its contents, -fulfilled our warmest expectations. The Travelling Bags, Tidies, -Affghan Blankets, Crocheted Collars, Book and Flower Stands, were -highly acceptable. Perhaps here is a fitting place to remark, that no -Drawing-Room Cushions, however beautiful, are as saleable with us as -they have been. As we are able to furnish beautiful Tidies to -accompany the Cushions, said Cushions last a most unreasonable time, -and hence our supply this year somewhat exceeded the demand. - -We must not omit to make mention of many towns that contributed -generously, through the Scotch boxes. Contributions from Reading, -Bolton, Leigh, Chelmsford, Leeds, Nottingham, Maidstone and Sheffield, -were included in the Edinburgh collection; from Kinross, Milnathorb, -Cumrie and Crieff, in that of Perth; from Auchterarder and Montrose, -in that of Glasgow. - -We must not forget Dublin, which, apart from the De La Rue box, -furnished, in the judgment of the Committee, the most attractive table -with which it has ever presented us. Besides the usual supply of -pretty and useful articles for ladies’ and children’s wear, a very -handsome Bronze was greatly admired. Fish Scale Bracelets and -Brooches, very pretty and tasteful, were something entirely new. The -bog oak ornaments, sea weed baskets, and a great variety of toys and -small articles, made this box very saleable. Of the De La Rue -assortment, we need say nothing. The mere name is sufficient to -commend the workmanship to the patronage of our public. The friends -who contribute to the purchase are assured that in no way can they -invest their money more wisely. Speaking of contributions for this -fund, a friend writes, “The most affecting of these is £1 9½ pence -from a young school-mistress in Waterford, made up of shillings, -sixpences and half-pence contributed by her little pupils and -herself.” - -The Dublin box also contained handsome donations from Henry -Fearncombe, of Wolverhampton, England, and from various ladies in -Clara, Waterford, Wakefield and Lyons’ Mills. - -The Ladies’ A. S. Society of Clogher, County Tyrone, sent a number of -pretty and useful articles, besides a donation in money, which we -shall acknowledge in another place. - -In the multiplicity of cares devolving upon the managers and -saleswomen, they hardly find time to suitably advertise some of their -most valuable property. It is owing to this cause, we think, that two -valuable works presented by Mr. R. D. Webb, of Dublin, remain unsold. -We insert his note respecting them, in hope of still finding a -purchaser, as, unlike many of our wares, these lose nothing by delay. - - “PRUDHON, _Revolutions de Paris_, 15 tom. 8vo. Par. - 1789-93. - - This very curious book is in fact a series of papers on the - events of the day, published from time to time through these - five eventful years. It is edited throughout in the most - ultra revolutionary spirit, and justifies all the wildest - and most shocking acts of the Terrorists. I believe such a - set as the present to be extremely rare, and that from the - nature and period of the publication, it must be so. - Although connected with booksellers for the last thirty - years, I have never seen another copy. This book would be an - interesting addition to a public library. The present copy - belonged to the late Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, - (Ireland,) the Right Hon. John Dogherty. - - I should mention that the volume was illustrated with cuts - of a very rude kind, representing some of the most terrible - and ferocious acts of which they treat.” - - “MARTIALIS EPIGRAMMATA. Venet. 1495. - - This edition will be found to be particularly described in - _Burnet’s Manuel du Libraire_, and the prices which it - brought at various sales range from sixty francs in the - earlier to one hundred and five francs for copies more - recently sold. With the exception of a few of the first - leaves, which are stained, the present copy is in beautiful - condition, being almost as fresh and clear as if printed - last year. It is bound in Russia.” - -The other volumes, of a more popular character, included in Mr. Webb’s -donation, sold readily, as did many copies of anti-slavery poetry, for -which we are indebted to the kindness of Miss Ireland, of Belfast. Mr. -Webb will be pleased to learn that the same liberal appreciator of Art -who purchased, last year, two of the Water Colour Drawings by Varley, -completed his own collection, and our content, by the purchase of the -third this year. All were sold at the prices marked by the President -of the Irish Royal Academy. - -But among all the encouraging items of which we ought now to take -note, none are more cheering than the tokens of sympathy received from -our friends and associates in France. Not one of the valuable and -beautiful donations received from them, but comes charged with the -earnest prayers and benedictions of the giver, for our cause and its -advocates. We entreat the Pastor Martin and the Pastor Monod, with -their families, to receive the assurance of our deep gratitude for -their valuable contributions. - -To Madame and Monsieur Geoffroy, St. Hilaire, to Madame De -Tourgueneff, to Madame Brenier, to Madame De Stael, to Mademoiselle -Lecomte, to Madame Meynieu, to Mademoiselle Wild and Madame -Juillerant, to Mesdames Byrne and Power, to Madame De Chaune, to -Madame Belloc, to the family of the great and good ARAGO, in -particular, and to many others, not less deeply interested in our -cause, we beg leave to express that sense of grateful obligation which -will impel us to constant energy and fidelity in its service. In the -midst of the persecution and violence we are so often obliged to -witness and to meet, how much do we not owe to those friends who give -us, from time to time, to feel the consolation of influences so kindly -and gracious as those which come to us from France! - -We will not attempt to enumerate the exquisite articles in China, -Bronze, Buhl, Ivory and Leather; the Drawings, Pictures, Photographs, -Toys, and _petits objets_ of every variety, that made up the Paris -collection. We think the French box, of this year, the most elegant -and attractive that Mrs. Chapman has ever forwarded. A gift from Mrs. -F. G. Shaw, of the wood work of Sorrento, redolent of olive groves and -orange bowers, furnished Christmas and New Year’s presents that were -entirely novel, while Mrs. Follen’s contribution from London was rich -in Pictures, Books, and the prettiest possible Toys. - -We have alluded to the donations of the absent members of our -Committee, simply for the purpose of showing that while we are holding -out our hands to the whole world for help, we are performing a -condition essential to securing the aid of others, helping ourselves, -and also, “remembering those in bonds as bound with them,” as well -abroad as at home. - -We now come to the detail of an event, at which we are greatly -grieved, and where we are sure all Abolition hearts will sympathize -with us. - -That a heavy pecuniary loss should have been sustained by a Cause so -poor as ours, of course we deeply regret, but that is nothing to our -sorrow that the most unwearied labor and generous devotion of time and -money should be met with entire failure and disappointment. - -Madame C. B. Hunt, a most earnest friend of the slave, resident in -Stuttgart, Wurttemberg, not satisfied with her own private -contribution to his cause, but anxious for some public expression of -German sympathy, undertook, almost alone, to procure the presentation -of this subject to the public, in connection with collections for the -Bazaar. Her exertions were very ably seconded by Pralat Kapff, a -clergyman of high standing, who introduced the subject to his -congregation in a very impressive manner. The work was highly -successful. German artisans contributed articles and fabrics unknown -in this country. German ladies of rank sent rare articles from their -family repositories. Authors gave their own volumes, and artists -beautiful views of the Wurttemberg Alps and adjacent scenery. Madame -H. writes as follows:――“It would be gratifying to Mrs. Stowe to know -that ‘Uncle Tom’ had so successfully performed his mission, that -notwithstanding all the disadvantages your agent, as an unknown -foreigner, had for bringing the cause before the public, still, from -many distant places, as soon as the Bazaar was pointed out as a means -of assisting in the emancipation of the oppressed, trifles were -forwarded, some of them evidently from people in very humble life. -Amongst others, I ought perhaps to mention the way in which I received -the portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wurttemberg. They must -have been sent by the donor, Philip Schmabried, of Munclingen, the day -after he saw the advertisement, and I have no doubt they were in his -eyes the greatest ornament of his humble dwelling. ‘Is the sender a -frame-maker, or has he a shop?’ I asked the carrier who brought them. -‘Lord bless you! he is only a peasant, and he took them down from his -walls,’ was the answer. I only hope they may find a purchaser who will -recognise in them the hidden moral worth that they certainly possess, -when one calls to mind the value persons of that class set upon such -ornaments for their dwellings.” - -This precious box, the object of so much care and industry, and -obtained under so many disadvantages, was wrecked in the steamer -Humboldt, near Halifax. This fact supplies the apology for the -non-appearance at the Bazaar of several articles mentioned in our -advertisements. - -It only remains to us to proffer to Madame Hunt and her coadjutors, -the assurance of a gratitude proportionate to their exertions. Their -labor has been lost to the promotion of the Bazaar, lost to the -treasury of the slave, but the fresh motive to hope and encouragement -it has supplied to our hearts, can never be lost; and as to their own -souls, it shall in no wise lose its reward. - -The contributions of the American abolitionists are in amount about -the same as in previous years. Horticultural Hall is so entirely -inadequate in size, that we can hardly allow our country friends any -room for separate tables, and this circumstance is naturally somewhat -discouraging in its tendency. We hope it may be in our power to make -more ample arrangements another year. Several of our most active -Ladies’ Societies have chosen to assist us by contributions of money, -rather than articles,――a mode equally useful and acceptable. Other -towns propose shortly the holding of Fairs at home, the proceeds of -which are to be devoted to the American Society. The greater part of -our goods that remain unsold are forwarded to these sales. Our foreign -friends will perceive that this arrangement prevents the necessity of -any sacrifice of merchandise on our part, and much enlarges the sphere -of our operations. - -We have received, in various ways, valuable assistance from the -following places:――Boston, Springfield, Milford, Fitchburg, Leicester, -Duxbury, Blackstone, Concord, Salem, Lynn, Fairhaven, Fall River, -Danvers, Roxbury, Cummington, Weymouth, Cambridge, West Cambridge, -Raynham, Dorchester, Hingham, and Leominster, of Massachusetts; -Rochester, Troy, and Staten Island, New York; Portsmouth, Concord, -Weare, and Amherst, New Hampshire; Portland, Maine; Randolph, Vermont; -and Brooklyn, Connecticut. - -A great proportion of the articles contributed were of a useful -character, and the more necessary on that account, so many of our -foreign importations belonging entirely to the domain of taste and -art. Visitors occasionally say, “It is a pity you have not a larger -variety of useful and cheap articles.” To such we would reply, it is -almost impossible, with our scanty accommodations, to give such goods -due prominence; a good deal of clothing suitable for charitable -purposes was necessarily overlooked on the present occasion. We -propose, another year, if possible, to have tables devoted to the sale -of particular goods, to have the articles so systematically arranged, -that the business of bargain and sale may be greatly facilitated. - -We owe special acknowledgments to Rochester, Portsmouth, and Portland, -for the very neat and beautiful ladies’ work sent from those places. -It is very well suited to the Boston demand. To our Troy friend, we -return our best thanks for “needle-work which is needle-work,” and -which proved eminently profitable to the Bazaar. The very tasteful -articles, sent by Mrs. Howe, of Cambridge, sold at once. Among our -American objects of taste, we must instance the beautiful Lamp Shades, -made by Miss Francis, of Cambridge, and Miss Bradford, of Duxbury; the -ingenious and tasteful Leather Work, by Mrs. Bramhall and her friends, -and the magnificent Bronze Vases, presented by Dr. Dix. To Mr. John P. -Jewett, we are greatly obliged for his generous gift of many popular -Anti-Slavery works. A Herbarium, from Miss Wilbur, of Rochester, on -which great time and care had been expended, we regret to say, was -unsold; but we feel not the less obliged by the kindness that prompted -the gift. We find such things are in little demand, people preferring -to make their own collections. - -We are indebted to Pictou, Nova Scotia, for a few very nice articles. - -Mr. Edmund Jackson’s annual gift of twenty-five boxes of excellent -Soap, found, as usual, an immediate sale, as did much of the -Britannia, Glass and Japaned Ware, so generously presented by Messrs. -Morey & Ober, P. F. Slane, Kanes & Johnson, E. N. Cate, and J. C. -Wyman, to whom we would beg leave to return our very sincere thanks. - -We would also proffer them to Messrs. F. A. Sumner & Co., for their -loan of china, and to the friends who so liberally supplied the -refreshment table. The Committee feel, likewise, that they are again -indebted for such kindness and personal assistance as materially -lightened the burden of their labors, to Mr. Daniel T. Curtis. - -They are also very sensible of the courtesy of the gentlemen of the -Horticultural Society’s Committee. It is as a simple act of justice, -that we would refer to the services Rev. Samuel May, General Agent of -the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. Not ourselves, only, but the -whole American Society, are his debtors. It would have been with -extreme difficulty that the Bazaars of the last two or three years -could have been held at all, had it not been for the most generous -devotion of time and strength on his part. - -We feel that we have given a very imperfect record of the gifts and -labor which have secured to the Bazaar so gratifying a measure of -success; but, in view of the difficulty of recalling such a -multiplicity of details, we know that our omissions will be pardoned. - -An unusually large number of visitors and purchasers were in -attendance, during the first week; but on the second, the very -terrible storm to which we have referred, proved most seriously -detrimental. Commencing on the night of the 28th, it continued, with -unabated violence, through the next day and night, leaving the streets -almost impassable, and completely precluding all access to numbers of -the country friends, who had postponed their visits till the Bazaar’s -second week. In the opinion of excellent judges, our receipts were -diminished not less than $500, by this cause. As the Hall had been -engaged, and all arrangements made, in prospect of closing on the -31st, it was not thought best to depart from the original intention. - -When we take into account the storm, disappointments and hindrances, -in respect to the arrival of boxes, and the absence of the Liberty -Bell, which circumstances rendered it inconvenient to issue, and then -remember that our receipts have exceeded those of last year by $200, -we have occasion to feel that we have great reason for hope and -encouragement. - -While money-making is our primary object, we yet manage to secure -collateral results of a very agreeable, as well as useful character. -The Bazaar furnishes an occasion, on which Anti-Slavery people of all -shades of opinion, the pro-slavery world and the _Poco curante_, all -meet together, and from the conflict of sentiment and exchange of -ideas that ensue, it cannot be but that good is evolved. Much social -enjoyment and much serious business are compressed into the ten days -through which the Bazaar continues, and many friends from a distance -make their annual visit to Boston at this season. Opportunities are -also given for the direct inculcation of Anti-Slavery truth. On -various evenings, addresses of a most earnest and argumentative -character were given by Messrs. GARRISON, QUINCY, FOSS, and PILLSBURY. - -After so long an absence from the scene of her early labors, as Mrs. -Child’s residence in New York has occasioned, we hailed her presence -as a helper with the liveliest satisfaction. We participated in the -great pleasure she must have experienced in comparing our present -Bazaar with the first Anti-Slavery Fair, held in the December of 1834, -owing its origin entirely to the personal labors and contributions of -herself and Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring. In every point of view, the -reminiscence is full of encouragement. - -With very earnest and peculiar emotions of interest, the Committee -welcomed the presence and sympathy of Mrs. Stowe. We are very grateful -for the kindness with which she placed at our disposal the very -beautiful plate, presented her by friends of the slave in Great -Britain. Placed in the centre of the Hall, it attracted much -attention, and, of course, admiration. The Letter of the Women of -England, with its 576,000 signatures, was placed close by, bearing -ample testimony to the universality of the Anti-Slavery spirit in that -Kingdom. We trust its gentle and persuasive words may yet fulfil their -holy mission. - -One of Cumberworth’s exquisite statuettes in bronze, was included in -the French collection. It represented a woman of color, with two white -children on her lap. Nothing could be more striking and effective than -the expression of the whole group. Its price was one hundred dollars. -Various friends, visiting the Bazaar, combined in its purchase, and -presented it, as “a mark of their respect and esteem,” to Wendell -Phillips, Esq.,――some of them not uniting in all his Anti-Slavery -opinions, but highly appreciating his personal character and entire -devotion to the service of that race, which Cumberworth has so -charmingly idealized. - -Here, with thanks and blessings for all who have lent us the help of -their word, or deed, or silent sympathy, we would gladly stop. We know -that any words of counsel or encouragement from us, are, on this side -the Atlantic, not needed. The field of conflict and duty lies clearly -before all other eyes as before ours, and on its perplexities or -involvements, we have no light that may not be equally shared by all. - -It is not exactly thus with our coadjutors in Great Britain. Private -correspondence assures us that there, the position of the Society with -which the Bazaar stands identified, is not wholly apprehended, or even -when apprehended, accepted without much reservation and distrust. By -incessant pains and promulgation, we have at length made men -understand, partially, at least, the catholicity and breadth of our -platform; that on it, men and women of all nations, and conditions, -and creeds, and politics, can meet in harmonious action, ignoring, for -the time, all other differences of opinion, and united, so far as -their Anti-Slavery life is concerned, by the recognition of the sin of -Slavery, _under all circumstances_, and the duty, consequently, of its -immediate abolition. Charges, grossly injurious and untrue, have been -alleged against us. It has been said that, on this platform, we have -brought irrelevant and extraneous topics, and have endeavored to make -use of the time and instrumentalities of the Society, for the -inculcation of opinions foreign to the objects of our association. -These charges have their foundation either in enmity to the great -principles that we represent, or in the strangest misapprehension. The -dominant sects of the country can hardly understand that certain -great, and, in their eyes, all-important doctrines, are no more to be -asserted as truths on our platform, except incidentally, than are the -converse propositions. Their members can enforce and illustrate -Anti-Slavery truth in whatever way they please; but if smaller and -more heretical bodies, represented in our councils, choose to use the -same liberty, by speaking in their own theological tongue, the Society -holds itself responsible for neither. It does not forbid the believer -in endless punishment to urge repentance on slaveholders and -pro-slavery men, by all the motives drawn from his own tremendous -creed; neither has it aught to object when the preacher of a universal -salvation enforces the same repentance, by alluding to the mercies -that will, as he thinks, be extended to all. It is vulgarly said, “It -takes all sorts of people to make a world.” It takes all sorts of -sects, and creeds, and parties, to make up a _pro-slavery_ world; and -hence, when we rally for the slave’s liberation, common sense calls on -us to unite all sects, and creeds, and parties in an Anti-Slavery -fellowship. To make their arguments and appeals effective, people must -necessarily use such as are real and influential to their own -convictions; but if the slave’s redemption be not their end, but -simply the inculcation of their own theories on other subjects, be -such theories right or wrong, then are the parties thus offending -guilty of great and highly blameable dishonesty. Against such, the -Society guards itself as effectually as a liberal interpretation of -parliamentary rules will admit. We believe no Society, of so entirely -popular a character, ever sinned less in respect to extraneous topics. - -But another objection is presented, where the difficulty, intrinsic in -the nature of the case, is, of course, more perplexing, and far less -easy of solution. The enemies of the American Anti-Slavery Society -have changed their ground. “It is not an Infidel Society, but a -Society that has a great many Infidels in it.” To look at this matter -fairly, requires a wider view than many of our British friends are -able to take. Their own agitation for the abolition of West India -Slavery offers nothing analogous to the state of things that has -obtained for the last twenty years in this country. No institutions, -either civil or ecclesiastical, were the least affected in Great -Britain by the abolition of West India Slavery. Half a dozen other -questions――questions, too, religious rather than political――have -involved important modifications of what may be called the -institutions of the country. The Tractarian controversy, the Papal -aggression, (so called,) the disruption of the National Church of -Scotland, afford instances of our meaning. But West India emancipation -did not go down to the very marrow of things, as do these questions. -It was a noble struggle with a mighty moneyed interest, and too great -credit cannot be awarded to British Abolitionists. But, we repeat, -their situation differed very widely from ours. The Constitution of -our country, as expounded by its authorized interpreters, has -provided, by the most careful and astute arrangements, for the -continuance and perpetuity of Slavery. All our civil institutions are, -therefore, in some sense, based upon it. Having no national -ecclesiastical establishment, we cannot affirm the same of the -American Church, in the same absolute and positive sense, that we do -of the State; and yet it is virtually and actually so. The voters and -the church members are the same persons. The men who vote for the -Fugitive Slave Bill on a week day, and avow themselves ready to carry -out its requirements, are the same men who sit down at the Lord’s -table on Sunday. - -To abolish Slavery, under such circumstances, is tantamount to a -revolution. True, the Abolitionists pray and labor that it may be a -bloodless one; but just so far as their weapons are spiritual, just in -proportion as their warfare lies in the realm of ideas, will be the -amount of the evil with which our foreign friends find fault, and -which we are called upon to correct. This, it is out of our power, in -any direct way, to accomplish. Inwoven as Slavery is with every -institution of the country, the earnest discussion of its abolition -must almost of necessity connect itself with a parallel discussion of -the great doctrines underlying the whole civil and ecclesiastical -fabric. We repeat, that this is not the fault of the Anti-Slavery -Society, but something inherent in the nature of the case. Hence it is -that the Abolitionists have looked so carefully to their foundation -principles, _the sinfulness of Slavery under all circumstances, the -duty of its abolition at all hazards_. It is in no rash or thoughtless -spirit that they have initiated opinions that have convulsed, and are -destined still more mightily to shake this whole nation. True, they -began in ignorance whither their path might lead, ignorant of almost -every thing but that it is _safe to do right_,――safe for the State, -safe for the Church, safe for one’s own soul. - -We apprehend that now is the very time to have faith in God; to say -that, having him for our refuge, “we will not fear, though the earth -be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the -sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the -mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” - -It has been the every-day prayer of the churches of Puritan -Christendom, that the Lord “would overturn, and overturn, and -overturn,” preparatory to the coming of His kingdom. To such of their -members as offered this prayer in sincerity and truth, and not as mere -idle words, it should not come with an overwhelming terror and -astonishment, when the salt that has lost its savour is being cast out -and trodden under foot. If, with a few insignificant exceptions, the -churches of America are the strongholds of oppression, slaveholding -and slave-hunting forming no bar to communion with any sect, the -revelation of such facts, and the recognition of the real character -that they imply, must almost of necessity involve a parallel -theological warfare. - -If any evils pertain to such discussion, wo be to them by whom the -offence cometh! Read the earlier remonstrances of the Abolitionists -with the American Church. They contained no denial that she was “the -very pillar and ground of the truth,” till her own inhuman and -profligate declarations made it a duty to Christianity for us to -declare her no longer in our eyes its exponent. This naturally leads -to wider discussions, with which we, _as Abolitionists_, have nothing -to do. - -Of one thing we can most sincerely assure our British friends: they -incur no shadow of responsibility for any belief or unbelief that may -prevail in this country. The sole results of the National Bazaar, with -exceptions too trifling to be enumerated, go to the support of the -_National Anti-Slavery Standard_, and the maintenance of the -Anti-Slavery Office in the city of New York. The Editors of the -_Anti-Slavery Standard_ are Messrs. Sydney H. Gay and Oliver Johnson; -Mr. Edmund Quincy, Corresponding Editor. Both as an Anti-Slavery and a -literary paper, it sustains a deservedly high character, and cannot, -we believe, be justly censured for any important departure from the -great principles of mutual respect and toleration on which the members -of the Society have bound themselves, in their associated capacity, to -proceed. We challenge investigation on this point, and we beg all -parties feeling themselves aggrieved, to state in the columns of the -paper the very words and phrases at which they take umbrage, and not -to dwell in generals. - -Let us hurriedly present one other consideration. The religious tenets -professed by an overwhelming majority of the churches of the United -States, almost without an exception by the churches in the -slaveholding States, (leaving the Catholics entirely out of the -question,) are those denominated evangelical. Hence the increased -temptation to support Slavery under which members of those sects -labor. The liberal sects (to use popular phraseology) are small, and -comparatively insignificant bodies. There are not more than half a -dozen Unitarian congregations, to our knowledge, south of Mason and -Dixon’s line. When we take into account the difference of belief in -respect to church fellowship that exists between Orthodox and liberal -churches, it is very easy to see why the latter should find it much -easier than the former to coöperate with the Anti-Slavery Society. The -theory of the one sect is, that the church is a society of good men, -(of the regenerate,)――of the other, that it is a society of men -seeking to become such. With the one party, the sacrament is a seal of -their acceptance; with the other, only a means of grace. One is bound -to defend the personal Christianity of its communicants, the other not -at all. Hence the difficulty that an Orthodox man finds in acting with -us, unless he be prepared to take the great step of coming out, and -being separate from churches which we denounce as apostate. The -Unitarians and Universalists, holding very different views in regard -to church fellowship, have very little temptation, _religiously_, to -be untrue to the slave. It is from fashion, and commerce, and worldly -considerations, that their temptations arise. - -We have said this, to show that it is not from any sympathy existing -between the Anti-Slavery Society and any one sect more than another, -that so many of its prominent members and agents are either members of -the liberal sects, or belong to none at all. - -To remedy this evil in the eyes of the evangelical Anti-Slavery -churches of Great Britain, we would respectfully urge it upon them to -care not for the heresies of a portion of the Abolitionists of this -country, but to concern themselves energetically, and at once, with -that Practical Infidelity which is sapping the foundation of every -Orthodox sect in this country. _Christianity and slaveholding cannot -exist together._ Anti-Slavery as is the public sentiment of Great -Britain, it must rise infinitely higher, before it can tell upon the -churches of this country. An apostate Abolitionist from the pulpits of -Boston, fresh from the defence of the Fugitive Slave Law, is welcome -to the Anti-Slavery pulpits _par excellence_ of Great Britain. Such -Anti-Slavery as this can never accomplish the work. - -The exclusion of Dr. Prime from the platform of the British Bible -Society was a triumph of Anti-Slavery principle; but the rarity of -such an event was shown by the strong feeling with which it was -received by the religious public of this country, who really seemed to -think it a cause for war between the two nations. We again repeat, it -is for the churches of Great Britain to take strong and effective -action on this subject, and that speedily. It is necessary to their -own vitality, which must speedily perish before the blighting -influence of pro-slavery fellowship. “What communion hath light with -darkness? and what concord hath Christ with Belial?” - -We will add a few words more on the general question, and close a -paper already too long. - -The _intellect_ of the civilized world is convinced as to the enormity -of the system we are attacking. A new and unique mode of defence is -beginning to obtain in some quarters. The sins and sufferings of -Slavery are conceded, but Abolitionists are urged to patience――by what -consideration, think you? Because God is patient with the sins and -sufferings He witnesses! “He is patient, because he is eternal,” says -St. Augustine. - -We must confess that, to speak of the Maker and Governor of all -things, the self-existent and Omniscient, “whose kingdom is where time -and space are not,” whose methods and sovereignty are in so many -instances inscrutable, as waiting patiently for the evolution of His -own all-perfect purposes, and thence inferring that it is the duty of -His creatures to look with patience on scenes of wrong and outrage -which they could not contemplate patiently as borne for one day by -themselves, is a species of cant, the impiety of which is equalled -only by its inhumanity. - -With the heart of the nation, colder and harder than marble, and a -mere handful of men awake to the Slave’s terrible wrongs, and striving -to create some sympathy for them, this miserable talk of patience, and -of judicial calmness in summing up the arguments on all sides of the -question, and of scientific surveys of the whole field of conflict, -appears to us extremely out of place. - -“It is good to be always zealously affected in a good thing,” is a -maxim eminently safe to follow. The best stand-point from which to -consider this question is that which the Slave occupies. We can but -imperfectly approach to that, but perplexities become easy of solution -in proportion as we do so. If we will but remember how much education, -and temperament, and the providential arrangements of life, have had -to do with the formation of our own most cherished opinions, we shall -be better able to exercise the virtue of a perfect toleration. We mean -by this, the allowance of the same rights to others, in matters of -religion, that we claim for ourselves. This sentiment is easily -assented to, but it covers a great deal of ground. It implies that an -individual has a perfect right, not only to believe, but to teach and -promulgate as earnestly as he pleases, whatever he thinks true. It -does not bind us to read or to hear, to give him one sixpence of our -money nor one hour of our time, or to do otherwise than regret that he -holds opinions we consider untrue. Further than this, an enlightened -toleration forbids us to go. Earnest rebuke and moral indignation -belong to wrong-doing, and not to erroneous opinion. It is a confusion -of mind on these points that has led to all the persecution and -religious hatred that the world has ever witnessed. A life devoted to -the service of God and man, is the best testimony we can bring to the -truth of our own creed, and the best rebuke to the errors of that of -another. - -That the people living in the nineteeth, and not in the sixteenth -century, may attain to this knowledge, is our earnest prayer; that the -Abolitionists have already done so, is our hope. - - A.

The storm of the 28th and 29th of December, -unprecedented in severity, for many years, had brought to -some homes actual bereavement or severe pecuniary loss, to -many, serious annoyance, inconvenience and anxiety, and -to all, that subduing, saddening influence which is experienced, -however temporarily, when any “great outrages -of weather” unsettle the thoughtless security as to life and -safety, that usually pervades the public mind. For several -days, the mails were stopped, and almost all communication -with the environs of Boston cut off. When tidings <em>could</em> -arrive, and nearly every hour brought fresh intelligence of -peril, disaster or shipwreck, and the very aspect of nature -herself seemed redolent of melancholy suggestion, it certainly -would not be unnatural if, in some minds, the whole -coloring of thought assumed a graver and more sober hue. -This has been the case with ourselves. The Bazaar of 1853 -has closed with what we are entitled, in our circumstances, -to estimate as <em>brilliant success</em>, the receipts being four thousand -two hundred and fifty-six dollars; and yet we feel impelled -to a more thoughtful and serious train of remark -than may, at first view, appear natural or appropriate. -To the minds of most persons, the mention of a Ladies’ -Bazaar suggests ideas of a purely gay and festal character; -of an occasion, where it is well if the gaiety and festivity do -not degenerate into mere thoughtlessness and frivolity. How -it may be in Bazaars designed for the support of popular -charities, we are unable to say; but, when we are speaking -of one whose funds are devoted to the sustentation of -the American Anti-Slavery Society, we assure all who are -willing to listen, that ours is grave work, performed in any -but a thoughtless and irresponsible spirit.</p> - -<p>Let us recal, for a moment, the written records of thought -and feeling that accompany the exquisite and beautiful donations -of which the Bazaar is made up. These latter suggest -only ideas of taste, and skill, and elegant leisure, and -abundant wealth; and the looker-on can hardly do else than -associate such brightness of coloring and harmony of tint, -with the glow of health and happiness. But with these -suggestions, do the facts accord? Far from it. From the -homes of actual poverty, from young girls painfully earning -their own bread, and yet saving something to purchase the -material that shall be fashioned into the gay clothing, never -to be worn for their own decoration, from the chambers of -sickness and languor, and hopeless disease, from Asylums -for the Blind, from schools that charity has established for -the help of the wholly indigent,—​it is from sources like -these, that very great and valuable assistance is obtained. -True, the gifts of the happy and the prosperous are here -also; the glittering ornament, that has graced many a gay -pageant; the exquisite picture, in which the painter has -made real his happiest conception, or recalled some favorite -scene; the admired and successful volume, fresh from the -hands of its author. The minister of religion, the philosopher, -the artist, and the poet, have given us of their best, -have freely contributed that spiritual and ideal wealth, whose -price is above rubies. But all these gifts, however diverse -their source, come to us with words of the most earnest -encouragement, with assurances of exhaustless sympathy, -and promises of continued support. Much of the help thus -given, by deed and word, is sent from other lands. To the -moral beauty of the contribution, it adds not a little, in our -eyes, that such is the case. The fact itself furnishes a most -invigorating testimony to the truth of the principle on which -the Anti-Slavery enterprise is based. By a spontaneous conviction, -overmastering nationalities, and usage, and creed, -and language, men differing world-wide in all beside, are -laboring together in the promulgation of the cardinal doctrine -of our Anti-Slavery creed, that <em>under no conceivable circumstances</em>, -can one man hold another as goods and chattels.</p> - -<p>We have barely indicated the sources and the motives, -from, and by which, the donations to the Bazaar are obtained. -Suffer us, on behalf of the immediate managers and promoters -of this effort, to assure these generous donors, that -they are received in a spirit not wholly unworthy of the -great work to which they are consecrated. Our distant -friends cannot know the difficulties and discouragements -that, at every step, beset such an undertaking as ours. It is -<em>the twentieth Bazaar</em> that has just closed. The interest -afforded by novelty and a spirit of adventure has long since -died away. The number of Abolitionists in the city which -sent back Thomas Sims is necessarily small; and, of that -small number, only a few are so situated as to give to -the Bazaar much earnest and effective labor. Many of the -Committee do not reside in Boston, and several of its most -efficient members are absent from the country.</p> - -<p>Within the last two years, two of those who have been -co-workers with us almost from the beginning of the conflict, -have passed onward to a higher service. The example -of a long life, devoted to deeds of self-sacrificing beneficence, -the memory of beauty and genius, and gifts still -more excellent than either beauty or genius,—​these are all -that remain to us.</p> - -<p>Of the thousand petty toils, and wearying annoyances, -and uncongenial duties that attend the Bazaar, we will not -speak. They would be burdensome under any circumstances; -for buying and selling, even when viewed as a prelude -to getting gain, is not in itself an interesting occupation. -Neither do we dwell on the misunderstandings and misrepresentations, -and absence of popular sympathy, to which our -position exposes us.</p> - -<p>Why, then, do we refer to all this? Not, certainly, for -the purpose of discouraging or saddening a single heart that -has ever bade us God speed.</p> - -<p>There is a practice in the Catholic Church, which, Protestant -as we are, attracts our sympathy. Any suffering, no -matter how earthly its character, any labor, however mundane -and common-place, becomes ennobled and sanctified, -if removed from the category of common duties, and performed -as a religious offering. Let it be so with this annual -Bazaar. The prayers and blessings interwoven with so -many memorials of patient toil, the gifts that enrich it, alike -of the high and the low, the happy and the sorrowing, the -self-sacrifice that marks every step of its progress, the weariness, -care and anxiety that are its necessary attendants, let -us, as it were, cast them all upon the altar of our faith, -remembering, as we do so, the words, “To do good and -communicate, forget not, for with such sacrifices God is -well pleased.”</p> - -<p>From the following towns and cities in Great Britain, -large and valuable donations were received:—​Liverpool, -Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, -Glasgow, Perth, Dublin and Cork.</p> - -<p>We have peculiar pleasure in the reception of the Liverpool -Box, as it is the first we have ever received from that -town. The close connection, too, that exists between Liverpool -and the United States, renders it doubly valuable. -Probably no town in the United Kingdom is so pro-slavery -in its sympathies as Liverpool, and hence, by help from -such a quarter, we are the more encouraged. We are -aware how much we owe to the influence of the <abbr title="Reverend">Rev.</abbr> Francis -Bishop, whose travels a year or two since in this country, -contrary to the usual experience of English gentlemen, -particularly clergymen, seems but to have deepened his -horror of American Slavery, and called forth his most strenuous -efforts for its extinction.</p> - -<p>The Bristol Box included collections from Cheltenham, -Gloucester, Bridgwater, Bath, Frenchay, Chatham, Southampton, -Isle of Wight, Yarmouth and Chudleigh. As -usual, almost all the articles were pretty and well chosen, -and some, particularly elegant and valuable. This was -especially the case in respect to the Honiton Lace. A -great part of it, (and several very handsome articles were -received besides those contained in the Bristol box,) was sold -on the very first morning the Bazaar opened. A very beautiful -Honiton Lace Pin Cushion, with the word <em>Liberty</em> -formed in the work, the gift of the lace-maker, was greatly -admired, and sold readily. The Basket Work was eagerly -sought for, and, indeed, most of the Bristol articles found a -good market.</p> - -<p>Our Newcastle friends have again called us to mind. The -congregation of the <abbr title="Reverend">Rev.</abbr> George Harris, though occupied -with the erection of a new church, and unusual claims on -their charity, in consequence of the prevalence of cholera -in their town, have yet remembered those who are forbidden, -<em>by law</em>, to worship God according to their own consciences, -and whose worldly estate is such, that pestilence -in their midst is esteemed a boon instead of a curse.</p> - -<p>Leeds and Manchester have made their usual generous -response to our call. All the little objects of taste and art, -pictures, books, &c., contained in the Leeds box, and the -Papier Maché in that from Manchester, were much valued. -We should return our thanks in an especial manner to Mr. -Wilson Armistead, of Leeds, for books and tracts that actually -reached us. We are not the less grateful for a larger -and more valuable collection which it was not our fortune to -receive. The vessel in which they were sent from Glasgow -was shipwrecked, and the packages lost.</p> - -<p>In respect to the very costly and elegant collection sent -from London, by Mrs. Massie, we have to regret that it -should have arrived so late. Notwithstanding our utmost -exertions, we were unable to obtain the box from the Custom -House till the evening of the 29th, and the Bazaar -closed on the 31st. The very pretty box from Cork was -displayed at the same time, and the effect of their arrival -was at once evinced in the greatly increased receipts; but -still, as our first two days are always the best in respect to -sales, we could not but regret that so many valuable and -beautiful articles should have been absent at the opening. -It is almost impossible to do full justice to the boxes arriving -under such circumstances. They must necessarily be unpacked -and examined under great difficulties. Mrs. Massie’s -full and ample lists were a great assistance; but as -such beautiful crochet work as that we received from Cork, -is hardly known in this country, we should have been glad -had our Cork friends affixed their own prices. The magnificent -Ottomans in the London box, were the admiration -of all beholders, but we were able to dispose of only one. -The other has been carefully reserved for another sale. -The beautiful Silvered Glass also met with its due appreciation, -and sold readily, no specimens so fine having been -offered before in Boston. But the crowning glory of the -London Contribution were the very exquisite engravings -presented by Thomas Agnew, Esq., of Manchester. The -subjects are—​“The Independents asserting Liberty of -Conscience before the Westminster Assembly, 1644,” and -“The Royal Agricultural Society of England.” In the -former, most of the faces are portraits which have been -taken at great expense and trouble from original paintings, -and in the latter, the portraits are those of living individuals. -Both of these attracted very great attention, and the first -named was purchased by Mr. Wendell Phillips, as were -also the valuable portraits of Sir Humphrey Davy, John -Dalton, Esq., and <abbr title="Reverend">Rev.</abbr> Dr. Massie. “The Royal Agricultural -Society” will be sure to find a ready sale next year, -as it would, we think, have done this, had it been received -in sufficient season, as will also the beautiful “English Lake -Scenery.”</p> - -<p>To the <abbr title="Reverend">Rev.</abbr> Dr. Massie, the Bazaar is much indebted for -a little work, very tastefully got up, entitled, “Slavery, the -Crime and Curse of America.” A large number of copies -having been received for gratuitous distribution, the Committee -have circulated them as extensively as was possible, -and, as far as might be in their power, have endeavored to -bring the work before the notice of members of pro-slavery -evangelical churches, (if we may be allowed to depart so -far from the original meaning of words, as to place them in -such a collocation.)</p> - -<p>Two of our Scotch boxes, those from Edinburgh and -Glasgow, arrived in ample season, and having time for a -very careful and thorough examination, we are prepared to -speak of their contents in terms of high eulogy. The beautiful -Embroidered Muslin, Shawls and Scarfs of different -patterns, Dress Pieces, and some very elegant Aprons, are -the articles that occur to us on the Glasgow table as peculiarly -saleable. On the Edinburgh table, one beautiful -Prize Plaid Shawl, with rose, thistle and shamrock worked -upon it, and two Scarfs of the Murray pattern, were greatly -admired. Scarfs of this description were in great request, -and we could have sold many more than we did.</p> - -<p>May we take the liberty of inserting here, that a handsome -Highland Shawl, in which the colors are simply blue -and white, would, at the next Bazaar, find a ready purchaser? -Such an one has been inquired for with praiseworthy -perseverance for several years, and we would -gladly, by-and-by, be able to supply the demand.</p> - -<p>We are grateful to our Edinburgh friends for some very -good Autographs. Those written particularly for the occasion, -by the venerable James Montgomery, were received -with very great pleasure.</p> - -<p>Owing to some unfortunate mistake in Great Britain, the -abundant and beautiful collection of our Perth friends did -not reach us till the second week of the Bazaar. The box -was finally sent to New York, instead of Boston, and it was -only by great exertion on the part of Mr. Gay, that it -arrived in season. The missing box had been waited for -with so much anxiety, that its appearance was hailed with -the utmost delight. The abundance, variety and beauty of -its contents, fulfilled our warmest expectations. The Travelling -Bags, Tidies, Affghan Blankets, Crocheted Collars, -Book and Flower Stands, were highly acceptable. Perhaps -here is a fitting place to remark, that no Drawing-Room -Cushions, however beautiful, are as saleable with us as they -have been. As we are able to furnish beautiful Tidies to -accompany the Cushions, said Cushions last a most unreasonable -time, and hence our supply this year somewhat exceeded -the demand.</p> - -<p>We must not omit to make mention of many towns that -contributed generously, through the Scotch boxes. Contributions -from Reading, Bolton, Leigh, Chelmsford, Leeds, -Nottingham, Maidstone and Sheffield, were included in the -Edinburgh collection; from Kinross, Milnathorb, Cumrie -and Crieff, in that of Perth; from Auchterarder and Montrose, -in that of Glasgow.</p> - -<p>We must not forget Dublin, which, apart from the De La -Rue box, furnished, in the judgment of the Committee, the -most attractive table with which it has ever presented us. -Besides the usual supply of pretty and useful articles for -ladies’ and children’s wear, a very handsome Bronze was -greatly admired. Fish Scale Bracelets and Brooches, very -pretty and tasteful, were something entirely new. The bog -oak ornaments, sea weed baskets, and a great variety of -toys and small articles, made this box very saleable. Of -the De La Rue assortment, we need say nothing. The mere -name is sufficient to commend the workmanship to the -patronage of our public. The friends who contribute to the -purchase are assured that in no way can they invest their -money more wisely. Speaking of contributions for this -fund, a friend writes, “The most affecting of these is £1 9½ -pence from a young school-mistress in Waterford, made up -of shillings, sixpences and half-pence contributed by her little -pupils and herself.”</p> - -<p>The Dublin box also contained handsome donations from -Henry Fearncombe, of Wolverhampton, England, and from -various ladies in Clara, Waterford, Wakefield and Lyons’ -Mills.</p> - -<p>The Ladies’ A. S. Society of Clogher, County Tyrone, sent -a number of pretty and useful articles, besides a donation in -money, which we shall acknowledge in another place.</p> - -<p>In the multiplicity of cares devolving upon the managers -and saleswomen, they hardly find time to suitably advertise -some of their most valuable property. It is owing to this -cause, we think, that two valuable works presented by Mr. -R. D. Webb, of Dublin, remain unsold. We insert his note -respecting them, in hope of still finding a purchaser, as, unlike -many of our wares, these lose nothing by delay.</p> - -<p class="blockquote">“<span class="sc">Prudhon</span>, <cite lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">Revolutions de Paris</cite>, 15 tom.<abbr title="octavo Paris"> 8vo.

Not one of the valuable and beautiful donations -received from them, but comes charged with the earnest -prayers and benedictions of the giver, for our cause and its -advocates.

In the midst of the persecution and violence -we are so often obliged to witness and to meet, how much -do we not owe to those friends who give us, from time to -time, to feel the consolation of influences so kindly and -gracious as those which come to us from France!</p> - -<p>We will not attempt to enumerate the exquisite articles in -China, Bronze, Buhl, Ivory and Leather; the Drawings, -Pictures, Photographs, Toys, and <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">petits objets</i> of every -variety, that made up the Paris collection. We think the -French box, of this year, the most elegant and attractive -that Mrs. Chapman has ever forwarded. A gift -from Mrs. F. G. Shaw, of the wood work of Sorrento, -redolent of olive groves and orange bowers, furnished -Christmas and New Year’s presents that were entirely novel, -while Mrs. Follen’s contribution from London was rich in -Pictures, Books, and the prettiest possible Toys.</p> - -<p>We have alluded to the donations of the absent members -of our Committee, simply for the purpose of showing that -while we are holding out our hands to the whole world for -help, we are performing a condition essential to securing the -aid of others, helping ourselves, and also, “remembering -those in bonds as bound with them,” as well abroad as at -home.</p> - -<p>We now come to the detail of an event, at which we are -greatly grieved, and where we are sure all Abolition hearts -will sympathize with us.</p> - -<p>That a heavy pecuniary loss should have been sustained -by a Cause so poor as ours, of course we deeply regret, but -that is nothing to our sorrow that the most unwearied labor -and generous devotion of time and money should be met -with entire failure and disappointment.</p> - -<p>Madame C. B. Hunt, a most earnest friend of the slave, -resident in Stuttgart, Wurttemberg, not satisfied with her -own private contribution to his cause, but anxious for some -public expression of German sympathy, undertook, almost -alone, to procure the presentation of this subject to the -public, in connection with collections for the Bazaar. Her -exertions were very ably seconded by Pralat Kapff, a clergyman -of high standing, who introduced the subject to his -congregation in a very impressive manner. The work was -highly successful. German artisans contributed articles and -fabrics unknown in this country. German ladies of rank -sent rare articles from their family repositories. Authors -gave their own volumes, and artists beautiful views of the -Wurttemberg Alps and adjacent scenery. Madame H. -writes as follows:—​“It would be gratifying to Mrs. Stowe -to know that‘Uncle Tom’ had so successfully performed -his mission, that notwithstanding all the disadvantages your -agent, as an unknown foreigner, had for bringing the cause -before the public, still, from many distant places, as soon as -the Bazaar was pointed out as a means of assisting in the -emancipation of the oppressed, trifles were forwarded, some -of them evidently from people in very humble life. Amongst -others, I ought perhaps to mention the way in which I -received the portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wurttemberg. -They must have been sent by the donor, Philip -Schmabried, of Munclingen, the day after he saw the advertisement, -and I have no doubt they were in his eyes the -greatest ornament of his humble dwelling.‘Is the sender -a frame-maker, or has he a shop?’ I asked the carrier who -brought them.‘Lord bless you! he is only a peasant, and -he took them down from his walls,’ was the answer. I only -hope they may find a purchaser who will recognise in them -the hidden moral worth that they certainly possess, when -one calls to mind the value persons of that class set upon -such ornaments for their dwellings.”</p> - -<p>This precious box, the object of so much care and industry, -and obtained under so many disadvantages, was wrecked -in the steamer Humboldt, near Halifax. This fact supplies -the apology for the non-appearance at the Bazaar of several -articles mentioned in our advertisements.</p> - -<p>It only remains to us to proffer to Madame Hunt and her -coadjutors, the assurance of a gratitude proportionate to -their exertions. Their labor has been lost to the promotion -of the Bazaar, lost to the treasury of the slave, but the fresh -motive to hope and encouragement it has supplied to our -hearts, can never be lost; and as to their own souls, it shall -in no wise lose its reward.</p> - -<p>The contributions of the American abolitionists are in -amount about the same as in previous years. Horticultural -Hall is so entirely inadequate in size, that we can hardly -allow our country friends any room for separate tables, and -this circumstance is naturally somewhat discouraging in its -tendency. We hope it may be in our power to make more -ample arrangements another year. Several of our most -active Ladies’ Societies have chosen to assist us by contributions -of money, rather than articles,—​a mode equally -useful and acceptable. Other towns propose shortly the -holding of Fairs at home, the proceeds of which are to be -devoted to the American Society. The greater part of our -goods that remain unsold are forwarded to these sales. -Our foreign friends will perceive that this arrangement prevents -the necessity of any sacrifice of merchandise on our -part, and much enlarges the sphere of our operations.</p> - -<p>We have received, in various ways, valuable assistance -from the following places:—​Boston, Springfield, Milford, -Fitchburg, Leicester, Duxbury, Blackstone, Concord, Salem, -Lynn, Fairhaven, Fall River, Danvers, Roxbury, Cummington, -Weymouth, Cambridge, West Cambridge, Raynham, -Dorchester, Hingham, and Leominster, of Massachusetts; -Rochester, Troy, and Staten Island, New York; Portsmouth, -Concord, Weare, and Amherst, New Hampshire; Portland, -Maine; Randolph, Vermont; and Brooklyn, Connecticut.</p> - -<p>A great proportion of the articles contributed were of a -useful character, and the more necessary on that account, -so many of our foreign importations belonging entirely to -the domain of taste and art. Visitors occasionally say, -“It is a pity you have not a larger variety of useful and -cheap articles.” To such we would reply, it is almost -impossible, with our scanty accommodations, to give such -goods due prominence; a good deal of clothing suitable for -charitable purposes was necessarily overlooked on the present -occasion. We propose, another year, if possible, to -have tables devoted to the sale of particular goods, to have -the articles so systematically arranged, that the business of -bargain and sale may be greatly facilitated.</p> - -<p>We owe special acknowledgments to Rochester, Portsmouth, -and Portland, for the very neat and beautiful ladies’ -work sent from those places. It is very well suited to the -Boston demand. To our Troy friend, we return our best -thanks for “needle-work which is needle-work,” and which -proved eminently profitable to the Bazaar. The very tasteful -articles, sent by Mrs. Howe, of Cambridge, sold at once. -Among our American objects of taste, we must instance the -beautiful Lamp Shades, made by Miss Francis, of Cambridge, -and Miss Bradford, of Duxbury; the ingenious and -tasteful Leather Work, by Mrs. Bramhall and her friends, -and the magnificent Bronze Vases, presented by Dr. Dix. -To Mr. John P. Jewett, we are greatly obliged for his -generous gift of many popular Anti-Slavery works. A -Herbarium, from Miss Wilbur, of Rochester, on which great -time and care had been expended, we regret to say, was -unsold; but we feel not the less obliged by the kindness that -prompted the gift. We find such things are in little demand, -people preferring to make their own collections.</p> - -<p>We are indebted to Pictou, Nova Scotia, for a few very -nice articles.</p> - -<p>Mr. Edmund Jackson’s annual gift of twenty-five boxes -of excellent Soap, found, as usual, an immediate sale, as did -much of the Britannia, Glass and Japaned Ware, so generously -presented by Messrs. Morey & Ober, P. F. Slane, -Kanes & Johnson, E. N. Cate, and J. C. Wyman, to whom -we would beg leave to return our very sincere thanks.</p> - -<p>We would also proffer them to Messrs. F. A. Sumner & Co., -for their loan of china, and to the friends who so liberally -supplied the refreshment table. The Committee feel, likewise, -that they are again indebted for such kindness and -personal assistance as materially lightened the burden of -their labors, to Mr. Daniel T. Curtis.</p> - -<p>They are also very sensible of the courtesy of the gentlemen -of the Horticultural Society’s Committee. It is as a -simple act of justice, that we would refer to the services -<abbr title="Reverend">Rev.</abbr> Samuel May, General Agent of the Massachusetts -Anti-Slavery Society. Not ourselves, only, but the whole -American Society, are his debtors. It would have been with -extreme difficulty that the Bazaars of the last two or three -years could have been held at all, had it not been for the -most generous devotion of time and strength on his part.</p> - -<p>We feel that we have given a very imperfect record of the -gifts and labor which have secured to the Bazaar so gratifying -a measure of success; but, in view of the difficulty of -recalling such a multiplicity of details, we know that our -omissions will be pardoned.</p> - -<p>An unusually large number of visitors and purchasers -were in attendance, during the first week; but on the second, -the very terrible storm to which we have referred, proved -most seriously detrimental. Commencing on the night of -the 28th, it continued, with unabated violence, through the -next day and night, leaving the streets almost impassable, -and completely precluding all access to numbers of the -country friends, who had postponed their visits till the -Bazaar’s second week. In the opinion of excellent judges, -our receipts were diminished not less than $500, by this -cause. As the Hall had been engaged, and all arrangements -made, in prospect of closing on the 31st, it was not -thought best to depart from the original intention.</p> - -<p>When we take into account the storm, disappointments -and hindrances, in respect to the arrival of boxes, and the -absence of the Liberty Bell, which circumstances rendered -it inconvenient to issue, and then remember that our receipts -have exceeded those of last year by $200, we have occasion -to feel that we have great reason for hope and encouragement.</p> - -<p>While money-making is our primary object, we yet -manage to secure collateral results of a very agreeable, as -well as useful character. The Bazaar furnishes an occasion, -on which Anti-Slavery people of all shades of opinion, the -pro-slavery world and the <i lang="it" xml:lang="it">Poco curante</i>, all meet together, -and from the conflict of sentiment and exchange of ideas -that ensue, it cannot be but that good is evolved. Much -social enjoyment and much serious business are compressed -into the ten days through which the Bazaar continues, and -many friends from a distance make their annual visit to -Boston at this season. Opportunities are also given for the -direct inculcation of Anti-Slavery truth. On various evenings, -addresses of a most earnest and argumentative character -were given by Messrs. <span class="sc">Garrison</span>, <span class="sc">Quincy</span>, <span class="sc">Foss</span>, and -<span class="sc">Pillsbury</span>.</p> - -<p>After so long an absence from the scene of her early -labors, as Mrs. Child’s residence in New York has occasioned, -we hailed her presence as a helper with the liveliest -satisfaction. We participated in the great pleasure she -must have experienced in comparing our present Bazaar -with the first Anti-Slavery Fair, held in the December of -1834, owing its origin entirely to the personal labors and -contributions of herself and Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring. In -every point of view, the reminiscence is full of encouragement.</p> - -<p>With very earnest and peculiar emotions of interest, the -Committee welcomed the presence and sympathy of Mrs. -Stowe. We are very grateful for the kindness with which -she placed at our disposal the very beautiful plate, presented -her by friends of the slave in Great Britain. Placed in -the centre of the Hall, it attracted much attention, and, -of course, admiration. The Letter of the Women of England, -with its 576,000 signatures, was placed close by, -bearing ample testimony to the universality of the Anti-Slavery -spirit in that Kingdom. We trust its gentle and -persuasive words may yet fulfil their holy mission.</p> - -<p>One of Cumberworth’s exquisite statuettes in bronze, was -included in the French collection. It represented a woman -of color, with two white children on her lap. Nothing -could be more striking and effective than the expression of -the whole group. Its price was one hundred dollars. -Various friends, visiting the Bazaar, combined in its purchase, -and presented it, as “a mark of their respect and -esteem,” to Wendell Phillips, Esq.,—​some of them not uniting -in all his Anti-Slavery opinions, but highly appreciating -his personal character and entire devotion to the service of -that race, which Cumberworth has so charmingly idealized.</p> - -<p>Here, with thanks and blessings for all who have lent us -the help of their word, or deed, or silent sympathy, we -would gladly stop. We know that any words of counsel or -encouragement from us, are, on this side the Atlantic, not -needed. The field of conflict and duty lies clearly before -all other eyes as before ours, and on its perplexities or -involvements, we have no light that may not be equally -shared by all.</p> - -<p>It is not exactly thus with our coadjutors in Great Britain. -Private correspondence assures us that there, the position of -the Society with which the Bazaar stands identified, is not -wholly apprehended, or even when apprehended, accepted -without much reservation and distrust. By incessant pains -and promulgation, we have at length made men understand, -partially, at least, the catholicity and breadth of our platform; -that on it, men and women of all nations, and conditions, -and creeds, and politics, can meet in harmonious -action, ignoring, for the time, all other differences of opinion, -and united, so far as their Anti-Slavery life is concerned, -by the recognition of the sin of Slavery, <em>under all circumstances</em>, -and the duty, consequently, of its immediate abolition. -Charges, grossly injurious and untrue, have been -alleged against us. It has been said that, on this platform, -we have brought irrelevant and extraneous topics, and have -endeavored to make use of the time and instrumentalities of -the Society, for the inculcation of opinions foreign to the -objects of our association. These charges have their foundation -either in enmity to the great principles that we represent, -or in the strangest misapprehension. The dominant -sects of the country can hardly understand that certain -great, and, in their eyes, all-important doctrines, are no more -to be asserted as truths on our platform, except incidentally, -than are the converse propositions. Their members can -enforce and illustrate Anti-Slavery truth in whatever way -they please; but if smaller and more heretical bodies, -represented in our councils, choose to use the same liberty, -by speaking in their own theological tongue, the Society holds -itself responsible for neither. It does not forbid the believer -in endless punishment to urge repentance on slaveholders -and pro-slavery men, by all the motives drawn from his own -tremendous creed; neither has it aught to object when the -preacher of a universal salvation enforces the same repentance, -by alluding to the mercies that will, as he thinks, be -extended to all. It is vulgarly said, “It takes all sorts of -people to make a world.” It takes all sorts of sects, and -creeds, and parties, to make up a <em>pro-slavery</em> world; and -hence, when we rally for the slave’s liberation, common -sense calls on us to unite all sects, and creeds, and parties -in an Anti-Slavery fellowship. To make their arguments -and appeals effective, people must necessarily use such as -are real and influential to their own convictions; but if the -slave’s redemption be not their end, but simply the inculcation -of their own theories on other subjects, be such theories -right or wrong, then are the parties thus offending guilty of -great and highly blameable dishonesty. Against such, the -Society guards itself as effectually as a liberal interpretation -of parliamentary rules will admit. We believe no Society, -of so entirely popular a character, ever sinned less in -respect to extraneous topics.</p> - -<p>But another objection is presented, where the difficulty, -intrinsic in the nature of the case, is, of course, more perplexing, -and far less easy of solution. The enemies of the -American Anti-Slavery Society have changed their ground. -“It is not an Infidel Society, but a Society that has a great -many Infidels in it.” To look at this matter fairly, requires -a wider view than many of our British friends are able to -take. Their own agitation for the abolition of West India -Slavery offers nothing analogous to the state of things that -has obtained for the last twenty years in this country. No -institutions, either civil or ecclesiastical, were the least -affected in Great Britain by the abolition of West India -Slavery. Half a dozen other questions—​questions, too, -religious rather than political—​have involved important -modifications of what may be called the institutions of the -country. The Tractarian controversy, the Papal aggression, -(so called,) the disruption of the National Church of -Scotland, afford instances of our meaning. But West India -emancipation did not go down to the very marrow of things, -as do these questions. It was a noble struggle with a -mighty moneyed interest, and too great credit cannot be -awarded to British Abolitionists. But, we repeat, their situation -differed very widely from ours. The Constitution of -our country, as expounded by its authorized interpreters, -has provided, by the most careful and astute arrangements, -for the continuance and perpetuity of Slavery. All our -civil institutions are, therefore, in some sense, based upon it. -Having no national ecclesiastical establishment, we cannot -affirm the same of the American Church, in the same absolute -and positive sense, that we do of the State; and yet it -is virtually and actually so. The voters and the church -members are the same persons. The men who vote for the -Fugitive Slave Bill on a week day, and avow themselves -ready to carry out its requirements, are the same men who -sit down at the Lord’s table on Sunday.</p> - -<p>To abolish Slavery, under such circumstances, is tantamount -to a revolution. True, the Abolitionists pray and -labor that it may be a bloodless one; but just so far as their -weapons are spiritual, just in proportion as their warfare -lies in the realm of ideas, will be the amount of the evil -with which our foreign friends find fault, and which we are -called upon to correct. This, it is out of our power, in any -direct way, to accomplish. Inwoven as Slavery is with -every institution of the country, the earnest discussion of its -abolition must almost of necessity connect itself with a parallel -discussion of the great doctrines underlying the whole -civil and ecclesiastical fabric. We repeat, that this is not -the fault of the Anti-Slavery Society, but something inherent -in the nature of the case. Hence it is that the Abolitionists -have looked so carefully to their foundation principles, -<em>the sinfulness of Slavery under all circumstances, the -duty of its abolition at all hazards</em>. It is in no rash or -thoughtless spirit that they have initiated opinions that have -convulsed, and are destined still more mightily to shake this -whole nation. True, they began in ignorance whither their -path might lead, ignorant of almost every thing but that it is -<em>safe to do right</em>,—​safe for the State, safe for the Church, -safe for one’s own soul.</p> - -<p>We apprehend that now is the very time to have faith in -God; to say that, having him for our refuge, “we will not -fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains -be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters -thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake -with the swelling thereof.”</p> - -<p>It has been the every-day prayer of the churches of Puritan -Christendom, that the Lord “would overturn, and overturn, -and overturn,” preparatory to the coming of His kingdom. -To such of their members as offered this prayer in -sincerity and truth, and not as mere idle words, it should -not come with an overwhelming terror and astonishment, -when the salt that has lost its savour is being cast out and -trodden under foot. If, with a few insignificant exceptions, -the churches of America are the strongholds of oppression, -slaveholding and slave-hunting forming no bar to communion -with any sect, the revelation of such facts, and the recognition -of the real character that they imply, must almost of -necessity involve a parallel theological warfare.</p> - -<p>If any evils pertain to such discussion, wo be to them by -whom the offence cometh! Read the earlier remonstrances -of the Abolitionists with the American Church. They -contained no denial that she was “the very pillar and -ground of the truth,” till her own inhuman and profligate -declarations made it a duty to Christianity for us to declare -her no longer in our eyes its exponent. This naturally -leads to wider discussions, with which we, <em>as Abolitionists</em>, -have nothing to do.</p> - -<p>Of one thing we can most sincerely assure our British -friends: they incur no shadow of responsibility for any belief -or unbelief that may prevail in this country. The sole -results of the National Bazaar, with exceptions too trifling -to be enumerated, go to the support of the <cite>National Anti-Slavery -Standard</cite>, and the maintenance of the Anti-Slavery -Office in the city of New York. The Editors of the <cite>Anti-Slavery -Standard</cite> are Messrs. Sydney H. Gay and Oliver -Johnson; Mr. Edmund Quincy, Corresponding Editor. Both -as an Anti-Slavery and a literary paper, it sustains a deservedly -high character, and cannot, we believe, be justly censured -for any important departure from the great principles -of mutual respect and toleration on which the members of -the Society have bound themselves, in their associated capacity, -to proceed. We challenge investigation on this point, -and we beg all parties feeling themselves aggrieved, to state -in the columns of the paper the very words and phrases at -which they take umbrage, and not to dwell in generals.</p> - -<p>Let us hurriedly present one other consideration. The -religious tenets professed by an overwhelming majority of -the churches of the United States, almost without an exception -by the churches in the slaveholding States, (leaving the -Catholics entirely out of the question,) are those denominated -evangelical. Hence the increased temptation to support -Slavery under which members of those sects labor. -The liberal sects (to use popular phraseology) are small, -and comparatively insignificant bodies. There are not more -than half a dozen Unitarian congregations, to our knowledge, -south of Mason and Dixon’s line. When we take -into account the difference of belief in respect to church -fellowship that exists between Orthodox and liberal churches, -it is very easy to see why the latter should find it much -easier than the former to coöperate with the Anti-Slavery -Society. The theory of the one sect is, that the church is -a society of good men, (of the regenerate,)—​of the other, -that it is a society of men seeking to become such. With -the one party, the sacrament is a seal of their acceptance; -with the other, only a means of grace. One is bound to defend -the personal Christianity of its communicants, the other -not at all. Hence the difficulty that an Orthodox man finds -in acting with us, unless he be prepared to take the great -step of coming out, and being separate from churches which -we denounce as apostate. The Unitarians and Universalists, -holding very different views in regard to church fellowship, -have very little temptation, <em>religiously</em>, to be untrue to the -slave. It is from fashion, and commerce, and worldly considerations, -that their temptations arise.</p> - -<p>We have said this, to show that it is not from any sympathy -existing between the Anti-Slavery Society and any one -sect more than another, that so many of its prominent members -and agents are either members of the liberal sects, or -belong to none at all.</p> - -<p>To remedy this evil in the eyes of the evangelical Anti-Slavery -churches of Great Britain, we would respectfully -urge it upon them to care not for the heresies of a portion of -the Abolitionists of this country, but to concern themselves -energetically, and at once, with that Practical Infidelity -which is sapping the foundation of every Orthodox sect in -this country. <em>Christianity and slaveholding cannot exist -together.</em> Anti-Slavery as is the public sentiment of Great -Britain, it must rise infinitely higher, before it can tell upon -the churches of this country. An apostate Abolitionist from -the pulpits of Boston, fresh from the defence of the Fugitive -Slave Law, is welcome to the Anti-Slavery pulpits <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">par excellence</i> -of Great Britain. Such Anti-Slavery as this can never -accomplish the work.</p> - -<p>The exclusion of Dr. Prime from the platform of the British -Bible Society was a triumph of Anti-Slavery principle; -but the rarity of such an event was shown by the strong -feeling with which it was received by the religious public of -this country, who really seemed to think it a cause for war -between the two nations. We again repeat, it is for the -churches of Great Britain to take strong and effective action -on this subject, and that speedily. It is necessary to their -own vitality, which must speedily perish before the blighting -influence of pro-slavery fellowship. “What communion -hath light with darkness? and what concord hath -Christ with Belial?”</p> - -<p>We will add a few words more on the general question, -and close a paper already too long.</p> - -<p>The <em>intellect</em> of the civilized world is convinced as to the -enormity of the system we are attacking. A new and -unique mode of defence is beginning to obtain in some quarters. -The sins and sufferings of Slavery are conceded, but -Abolitionists are urged to patience—​by what consideration, -think you? Because God is patient with the sins and sufferings -He witnesses! “He is patient, because he is eternal,” -says <abbr title="Saint">St.</abbr> Augustine.</p> - -<p>We must confess that, to speak of the Maker and Governor -of all things, the self-existent and Omniscient, “whose -kingdom is where time and space are not,” whose methods -and sovereignty are in so many instances inscrutable, as -waiting patiently for the evolution of His own all-perfect -purposes, and thence inferring that it is the duty of His -creatures to look with patience on scenes of wrong and outrage -which they could not contemplate patiently as borne -for one day by themselves, is a species of cant, the impiety -of which is equalled only by its inhumanity.</p> - -<p>With the heart of the nation, colder and harder than marble, -and a mere handful of men awake to the Slave’s terrible -wrongs, and striving to create some sympathy for them, -this miserable talk of patience, and of judicial calmness in -summing up the arguments on all sides of the question, and -of scientific surveys of the whole field of conflict, appears -to us extremely out of place.</p> - -<p>“It is good to be always zealously affected in a good -thing,” is a maxim eminently safe to follow. The best -stand-point from which to consider this question is that -which the Slave occupies. We can but imperfectly approach -to that, but perplexities become easy of solution in -proportion as we do so. If we will but remember how -much education, and temperament, and the providential -arrangements of life, have had to do with the formation of -our own most cherished opinions, we shall be better able to -exercise the virtue of a perfect toleration. We mean by -this, the allowance of the same rights to others, in matters -of religion, that we claim for ourselves. This sentiment is -easily assented to, but it covers a great deal of ground. It -implies that an individual has a perfect right, not only to believe, -but to teach and promulgate as earnestly as he pleases, -whatever he thinks true. It does not bind us to read or to -hear, to give him one sixpence of our money nor one hour -of our time, or to do otherwise than regret that he holds -opinions we consider untrue. Further than this, an enlightened -toleration forbids us to go. Earnest rebuke and moral -indignation belong to wrong-doing, and not to erroneous -opinion. It is a confusion of mind on these points that has -led to all the persecution and religious hatred that the -world has ever witnessed. A life devoted to the service of -God and man, is the best testimony we can bring to the -truth of our own creed, and the best rebuke to the errors of -that of another.</p> - -<p>That the people living in the nineteeth, and not in the sixteenth -century, may attain to this knowledge, is our earnest -prayer; that the Abolitionists have already done so, is our -hope.</p> - -<p class="quotesig">A.
