brate August 80 this year, with Vice-President
Fairbanks principal orator.
Brown finally left Kansas early in October and
slowly eastward to gather forces and money for
another campaign against the forces OF slavery,
and thus within the sphere of my own activity
for the cause in Massachusetts He returned
to Kansas in 1887 disclosed his plans for invading
Virginia Gerrit Smith and others, myself included,
in February, 1883, at Peterboro, New York; but
again went back to Kansas and guarded the Mis-
sour border with his (whom he commanded
under the name of Shubel Morgan) in the summer
and autumn of 1883.
In the Christmas holidays of IS58-5o, he was APP
pealed to by slave in Missouri, Jim Daniels, to
save him and his family from being sold to go south.
He crossed into Missouri, brought away eleven
slaves, kept them for few weeks in Southern
Kansas, and then carried them safely through the
thousand or twelve hundred miles between there
and Detroit, and them landed in Canada at
Windsor secure from recapture. This was the first
instance of forcible emancipation, which, three
years later, became the national policy under Presi
dent Lincoln.
Committee to Help Brown
MEANTIME a secret committee had been formed
Iva consisting of Gerrit Smith DR. S. G. Howe, Theo
dore Parker T. Wentworth Higginson, G. L. Stearns,
Edwin Morton, and myself, to furnish Brown with
the money needed for carrying forward his desperate
undertaking of attacking slavery in the Older slave
States. His plan had been communicated to us IN
February and March, 1883, and had decided to aid
it rather than desert old friend in his need and
his inexible resolve My Harvard classmate Morton.
then the private tutor of Gerrit Smiths son, and
living at Peterboro, wrote me early in March:
Captain Brown left Mr. Smiths house the day after you
did February "a 1881 He asked to tell him what
impression thought his plan had made upon you saying
that you had expressed yourself quite clearly he
had wished had formed opinion as to your judg-
men and thought best tell him that you had spoken
of what you sometimes thought fit channel in which
to direct energies all things considered also told
him you said this reply my saying would be inviting
to me- had been bred to camp life

to keep slavery out if they could.
John Brown did not then intend
to go, but in August, 1884, wrote
to his son John:

His imprisonment, trial, and
execution followed, as did the
Imprisonment, but not the ex-
ecution, of Jefferson Davis six
years later. Indeed, when Davis
was released from his Virginian
prison, it was one of Browns
secret committee, Gerrit Smith,
and one of his public defenders,
Horace Greeley, who offered
themselves on his bail bond. By
that time the great drama" of
the Brown boys had been played
out, and the grand prize of
the contest, Emancipation, had
been won.
