MANLINESS.
Every reormermust expect to suffer, more or less.
from bgotry, ignorance, and misrepresentation
AT the present day,no one.sufers more from these
than VIM. Lloyd Garrison. But the Lord who
has raised him up will lift him above them. all
Below is article on the subject, from the Editor
of the New-Hampshire Herald of Freedom, which.

correspondent Of his paper who is making furious.
not to say ferocious, attacks friend Garrison.

or again into our columes. He tosses his
arms and utters his voice with the
careless license of freeman. Whether
ne will be glati6ed in his wish that Gar
rison should not be considered an aboli-
ZIONIST is problem. The colored peo-
pie will all consider bin so, we appre-
bend, if his white brethren do not. But
no man is bound to think Mr.. G. an alb
olionist, or any thing. We think, how
ever he is entitled to ordinary fair usage,
notwithstanding he has awakened the
land to the crime of slavery. We do moi
consent that for that he should be outlaw
ed by his dnti-sLaUery brethren. We
know that man who has done eminent
service to the world is generally consid-
cred as dlsentitled thereby to common
charity. They ostracised Aristides, in
old times, merely because he had got,
and deservedly, the common name of the
Just; and the people were weary Of hear
ing him called so. And they banished
him. Clearly they would not have ban.

the unjust.
We have our individual opinion of Mr..
Garrison as connected with the anli-slaye-
ry enterprise. We form it from the Lib
orator, which we have read for years.
We have, as we take it, the same liberty
OF expressing that opin ion. in the Herald,
as other brethren have. We express on
ly an individual opinion. And we say
that as an abolitionist-a sheer anti-slave-
lry man-and an anti-slavery editor, the
land in our humble opinion, bears not has
equal. His reputed notions of the Sab
bath we have never held to- That he has
attempted 10 promulgate them in his pa.
per we never believed. The occasion, il
we remember right, of his introducing
them at all, was DR.. BeecheI's attempt to
eclipse the cause os humanity by castins
over it and upon it this paramount duty o
the outward observance Of the Sabbath
by declaring the Sabbath the sun OF tn,
moral universe, &C., or something to tina
effect. Garrison, to our recollection, came
out against that doctrine. Whether h,
