Subsequent to the presidential campaign of 1844, the third-party Abolitionists held a convention in Pittsburg, in which Giddings was a leading actor. As chairman of the committee on platform, he submitted a resolution declaring that both of the old parties were "hopelessly corrupt and unworthy of confidence."
"One little spark reaching any of that stored hydrogen would have torn that great dirigible into fragments in one gigantic blast." "We have handled recent newspaper copy containing mention of this new gas, helium; but I must confess I am in the dark regarding its nature and source," said Mr. Giddings. "What is it, anyway?" "I will refer your question to Paul here," replied John.
Giddings, hesitating with his opiates, and assisting the indomitable Miss Grower to hold his patient. In the midst of the paroxysm Mr. Bentley entered and stood over her by the bedside, and suddenly her struggles ceased. At first she lay intensely still, staring at him with wide eyes of fear. He sat down and took her hand, and spoke to her, quietly and naturally, and her pupils relaxed.
"She knows you are in Jefferson," said Miss Giddings, "and has wanted very much to see you." She conducted him into a small sitting-room, and leading: him up to a young lady in black, introduced him to Miss Aikens Ida Aikens.

"And you think this Tom Meeks would be willing to come up here, then, and help you this winter for the salary I am paying you?" questioned Mr. Giddings with interest. "I think he would, sir."
"Let us spread through some of the rooms." "Right!" said Macfarlane. "Doane, Giddings, and Miss Colina go into the library and throw up the windows on this side. Shoot between the boards if I give the word. The guns are inside the door." A cry from Strange brought them out into the hall again. "They've raised a white flag! They want to parley not to fight."
