The Rich Men of Massachusetts, Is tie |
title of n second edition of n book that lately |
appeared in Boston, that gives the reputcd |
wealth of about 2000 men iu Massachusetts,
! who are worth Sj0,000 or more, with brief
sketches OF the lives of nearly 1900 OF them. |
The aggregate prnperty of these men is put
down at S2Si6e9,OO0, or the rich men,
2S nre wortL ~ COO, 600 or upwards. The
leading wealthy class appears to he the mcr-
camille, 5G3 of whom have place in this
curious book The next wealthy class is the
farmers, of whom there a-e 40.
Among those whose nnnics are recorded
III the pages OF this work, (which appears To
bear the impress of good humor aud fairness
grncraIy,) we observe the following lib
orator.
EDMuND QUINcY, Dedhnm. All by inhcr-
riuuce aud marriage. lie married u daugh.
ter Of Daniel +. Parker. A lawyer by pro-
icssion, but has relihquished practice that hc
might gratfy his strong sympathy with hu-
| muliily. A whulc-soulcd Aholiionisi of the
! Garrison school. Like Wendell Phillips, he
Epudiaies the Constitution in toto, because
1t does not rcpudiale Slavery. Il he inclncs
to any religious sect, that sect is the Qunkcrs.
lie is n thorough going Non-resisinnt. His
nind is of the finest order. As n writer he
is elegant, keen, searching. The machinery
Of his mental factory moves with n nicely
li.I, A.
lhlc. His sarcasm cuts helOie YOU are aware
Of lis approach. lie is the nlan who once
envcloped Sigma in the bcauliul npshes
of the shnrr.net, and then smiled at his con.
fusion. Possesses that worst OF all memo
rles-'A memory TINT never lorgcts am
thing BcneyOlence ?-Edmund Quincy IL |
this day worth less Than lac inherited simply !
because that sVne troublesome organ ol
benuN Olence has rendered his large inherit !
ancc perpetual sinking fund.
ELLIS CRAY LoRING, Boston. A lawyer
of superior mind aud high ariainments. lie |
might have stood among the first as an udvo- |
cate. Mr.. Loring very early enrolled him |
sell aS u Garrison Abolilonist, indeed lie |
was one of the " Immortal twelve II number
now somewhat cabalislicnl, but twenty yeurs
ago better understood. II is remarkable
fuct, that that mnst peculiar sect have en-
brnced in their number, both male and le-
male minds of the highest order for brllinn-
cy aud power Aud it is no less remarkable,
that when brought within the influence of
the principles that govern that party, they |
have ut once abandoned all ambition for
worldly greatness. Their requirements are !
ultra, aud their eXactlnnG the most rigid, and |
there are but few that can abide 10y them.-
Vast numbers have been attracted TO the |
principles of this party, and been almost |
persuaded To beconle,' &c, yet could not
stand the test nothing short of altogether
is acceptable there. Oneness of purpose
aud nilcXible integrity are indispensable
qualifications for membership with the Gar
rison Aholionisls. Hence, The world per-
hnps ims never known band of trucr hearts
aud more uncurruptlble fidelity aud affection
toward each other; aud if there is person
on earth, .or whom his followers in an ex. !
gcncy would become martyrs, that indiyidu- |
al is WILLIAM LLOYD GARRlsoN. II has
been thought 10y some, that Mr.. IOring's |
first love- for the Abolition cause has some
what cooled This, however, may have
been inferred from the fact, that his profess
sionn business has ior several years past
greatly increased, aud become very lucra- |
tive. lie has been distinguished for his |
benefaclions.
WENDELL PnILLIPs, Boston. Lawyer, and
emphallcully the great gun ol'lhe Gnrrisoniun
AbuliIiunists. lie is not wanting in nnces-
tral responsibility, but it may be question
ed whether the glory of his family name
should not proceed backwards from him,
rather than forward 10 bin. Ills position
and influence, MS an Aboiiioust, render it |
imperative on us TO be definite ia our notice |
nf him aud tttt, EtI ,.I,u
difficult 10 he described with accuracy aud |
justice. lie has u good physical constitution
is of medium size; has rather sandy com |
pleXion; age, some years this side OF forty |
has voice of startling power and energy, |
though OF limited compass; articulation re-
markably distinct. Having powerful mem |
ory, finished education, aud the finest liter |
AIRY tHsic, his words como moulded 10 his |
will without apparent effort, delying criui- |
clsm. While speaking, he stands erect, calm,
dspassonaIe. In temperament he is evil |
denIly peculiar; for when his words are Of
the most terrible import, his exterior exhibits
10 sign of agitation. Ills gestures are few,
aud seemingly accidental. While listening |
TO his most efficient specimens of oralOry, |
you scarcely believe that living visible be-
ing is addressing you, but rather fancy that !
the
"Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn" |
are issuing forth from cold, but mysterious
y animated statue of marble. In some re-
spects he resembles the volcano, whose bo-
som nourshes inexanslble fires, which ARE
sent forth to terriy and TO destroy, while all |
without is unrufiled, and unindicative of the |
power within. His qualities, as an Aboli-
ton orator, stand out not selfconAiclng, but
iearlully independent and selfrelyng. His
moral courage knows no earthly limit. lie
acts not against conscience, but he acts as
he peases. lie never bent his purpose TO |
sult the convenience ofauy man, nor of any
