He could hear their shouts of joy and revenge as they gripped their pikes and swung into line under his God imposed leadership. The whole scheme was based on this faith. If Garrison's words were true, if the Southern slave holder was a fiend, if Mrs. Stowe's arraignment of Slavery on the grounds of its inhuman cruelty was a true indictment, his faith was well grounded.
It is a rare thing to have such an opportunity of studying exceptional experience in the testimony of a truthful and in every way distinguished mind." "Oldtown Folks" is of interest as being undoubtedly the last of Mrs. Stowe's works which will outlive the generation for which it was written.
No one was more surprised than Mrs. Stowe herself by the demonstrations of respect and affection that everywhere greeted her.
