On tho LIST OF JANUARY, 1881, appeared tho first
number Of the Liderator. It boro tho names Of
Wll!hm Loya datrlaon anu 4saac Ahann ut
publishers, while MIR. Garrison was solo editor.
Mover, perhaps, was public journal COM
mcnced under moro diacot,rugng circumstances.
Tho brave publishers were too poor to purchase
! typos or press, or oyon to pay for tho whito
paper on :, which Tho first nun,Ibor was
been obtained In aayauco. Any disintorosted
perHon, Judging from sound business principles,
would have said that tho enterprise lind not ono
chance in a.tllouAaud to succeed. But tie pub
mil fInS
erty nor the frowua Of those in powcr and NIL
| thority co,lld daunt They announced in tho
first number that tthoy had formed their CO.
partnership with . Discrimination to print tho
water, or their hauda obtain employment" Tnoy
found friend in Stephen Foster, tho printer Of
tho Christian Examiner, who employed them aa
journeymen, setting them aet work on his own
losing all that they could not pny him il
this way. This arrangement continued for threo
| weeke. at tho end of which timo tho bravo
| publishers found moans to purchase u pre-
and types; and thatenpon they opencd MI oiltco
! in dining-room In the old "Morcllants Huil, II
| in Cungross street, which wua not only their
printing establishment, but their place Of abode.
Their bedstcad was the floor. thor faro, Huch
simple ARTICLES as demanded title or no culinary
skill. uEeal and milk was til. staple dish, al-
tol1latod non and thon witl, niIs md bread for
the sake Of variety, or slloh Sin ple etlibles as
they could find at bakers Blop. restaurants
being then unknown. The cditot wrought ut
the compoBitor's case during tho day, often put
them to paper, mud then devoted mncA Of the
night to editorial labor. After o tinlo young
negro Was taken au an apprentice, thus illus
trating tleir freedom from the prejudice which
excluded men OF n dark skin from shops whore
Mhito men iabofed.
The LiJerator WAS folio sheet, published
weekly. Tho page, ut first, was l416 inches
long and ~ III brendsh. It's Typography w1A.
noat, for Dir. Garrison was mastor of llla trade,
and exceedingly fastidious in everything thai
pertained to it. But it is tho moral and Intel
lectual character Of the paper that challenger
our attention. I hGye tllo first volume before
me, and al turn over tho pagos now, aftor ths
lapse OF 1orty-three ycnls. tind ITO difficulty IL
understanding how it broke tho hoayJ numbe,
into which tho North had fallen after tia Mis-.

her duty respecting it; md how 1t startled auG
