plans and array his facts. The reply of the
veteran was, mir. Garrison, have too many
irons in The fire to put in another My
friend said, Doctor, you had better take all
the irons you have in the fire out, and put
this one in, if yon mean we'll either to the

The great Orthodox leader did not rest
with merely refusing to put another iron in
TO bis fire; he attempted to limit the irons Of
other men. AS President of Lane Theolog-
ical Seminary, he endeavored TO prevent the
students from investigating the subject Of
Slavery. The result, we all remember, was
q strenuous resistance on the part of large
number of students, led by that remarkable
man, Theodore d. Weld. The Right tri-

She has languished ever since, even with
such President. Why should ! follow DR..
Beecher into those Ecclesiastical Conven-
ventions where the weight of his heavy hand
has been felt against the slave? lie has
done 10 worse, indeed, he has done better,
than most Of his class. His opposition has
been always open and manly.
But, MIR. Chairman, there is something in
the blood which, men tell us, brings out vir-
tues and defects, even when they have lain
dormant for n generation. Good and evil
qualities are hereditary, the physicians say.
The blood whose warm current of eloquent
aid my friend solicited in vain in that genera
tion, has sprung voluntarily to his assistance

and pailios of its appeals both from press
and pulpit enthusiastic cheers) Even on

Marked and uuequaled as has been that sue
cess, remember in explanation of the phe-
nomenon-for UNCLE TOMS CABIN is rather
an event than book-renenlber this; if
the old Anti-Slavery movement had not rous-
ed the sympathies of Mrs Stowe, the book
had never been written; if that movement
had not raised up hundreds and thousands
of hearts TO sympahize with the slave, the
book had never been read (cheers( Not
that the genius of the author has not made
the triumph all her own; not that the unri-
vailed felicity of its execution has not treb-
led, quadrupled, increased ten-fold, il you
please, the number of readers; but there
must be n spot for Archinedes TO rest his
lever upon, before he can move the world

Grated to the noblest purpose, might have

Anti-Slayery movement which has changed
1885 to 1852. Those Of us familiar with
Anti-Slavery literature know well thut Rich
ard tiildreth's ARcHY MOORE, now THE
WHITE SLAVE wos a book of eminent abil-
ity; that il owed its want of success to no
lack Of genius, but only TO the fact, that it
was work born out of due time; that the
Anti-Slavery cause had not then aroused
sufficient numbers on the wings of whose
enthusiasm even the Snost delightful fiction
could have risen into worldwide influence
and repute. To the cause which has chang
ed 1885 TO 1852 is due something of the in-
fuence Of Uncle TOMS Cdbin.
The Abolitionisis have overlooked the
wonderful power that the wand of the nov
elist was yet TO WELD in their behalf over the
hearts of the world. o, no Frederika
