Letter from Charles Stearns, Boston, [Massachusetts], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1876 Dec[ember] 12th

1876

Charles Stearns writes to William Lloyd Garrison agreeing with his "masterly reply to Mr. [James Freeman] Clark[e]s unjust attack of the Republican party." Stearns discusses the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties, claiming that "Republicans unearth all the villany in the party, while the Democrats heaped fresh sods upon every rotten spot as soon as dissolved." He also describes past elections in Georgia, where he says, "It was no more safe for me to attempt to vote the Republican ticket than for my colored friends." While Stearns mentions the violence in past elections, he says that in the 1876 presidential election, "there was no force used ... but everyone who voted our ticket was threatened with loss of employment, & very many were turned out of employment for thus voting." He reports that his mission to the North in 1869 was to tell Northern Republicans of these injustices in the former slave states. Stearns also offers some ways to improve the position of former slaves in the South, and says that Southerners "hate to be condemned in Northern papers as barbarians" and "the details of these outrages published in all the Nothern papers by eye-witnesses would materially aid in defeating the Democratic party in the North." He especially advocates that "Northern men should go South in colonies ... to gradually roll back the wave of vice that spreads the whole Southern country." Stearns also details a society that was formed to send such missions to the South and asks if Garrison will serve "as president of our Society, which we propose calling now the 'National Southern Emancipation Society'." Stearns assures Garrison the position would not require "much extra labor" and already has the "indorsements of a large number of influential men, including the Mass. delegation in Congress in 1873", Henry Wilson, Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips, Gerrit Smith, and others. Stearns asks that if Garrison cannot accept the position, he send him "a list of names in your opinion suitable for this purpose."

In closing, Jackson describes Rev. Kink's lecture on the convention of the formation of the Evangelical Alliance.

Letter from George Washington Murray, Columbia, S.C., to William Lloyd Garrison, 5th April, 1877

1877

George Washington Murray writes William Lloyd Garrison to convey to the latter a first-hand account of the "political affairs" obtaining in South Carolina. Murray describes the recognition of Wade Hampton as governor of South Carolina as "unwarranted, humiliating, and brutal". Murray accuses Governor Daniel Henry Chamberlain of being "dazzled by the flattery and usual empty promises" of the Democratic Party, and charges Chamberlain with ultimate culpability for the revival of the Democratic Party in South Carolina. Murray asserts that "one Colonel Ferguson", purportedly from Mississippi, canvassed the state prior to the election forming "Sabre, Rifle and Artillery Clubs" to terrorize and surpress African-American and Republican voters. Murray describes the campaign of the "Red Shirts" paramilitary forces operating as the de facto armed wing of the Democratic party during the election, including the Hamburg Massacre organized by M. C. Butler, and recounts that the reported death toll from Hamburg was "far below" the actual total. Murray relates instances of electoral fraud and voter intimidation, writing that "my people have been driven from their own homes by the fierce assassins in their midnight raids, and in many cases they have been brutally murdered", and asserts that many have "died martyrs for the cause of their principle and liberty". Murray castigates President Rutherford B. Hayes for his inaction in the face of white supremacist terrorism and political violence, and opines that they may have been better off were Samuel Tilden elected.

Letter from James B. Whitcomb, Brooklyn, [Connecticut], to Samuel May, 1850 Oct[ober] 20th

1850

James B. Whitcomb writes to Samuel May stating that the planned convention in Danielsonville, Connecticut has pushed a proposed meeting against the Fugitive Slave Law in Brooklyn, Connecticut back one week. Whitcomb hopes the postponement will allow them to "secure a speaker from that meeting to talk to the Brooklyn people." He tells May that, "all seem to be alive now upon the subject, but should we let the matter rest for awhile, the public would be lulled to sleep again by the party publications of the day." He warns that the idea that the Fugitive Slaw Law "is not so odious after all" as it merely enforces a constitutional requirement "will be swallowed by a great many of the Locos [Democrats] and if the Whigs see the Locos gaining ground on that tact, they probably will chime in to secure the stray ones in their party." Whitcomb then asks May to stay after the convention in Danielsonville to attend the meeting in Brooklyn.

Letter from James Miller M'Kim, New York, [New York], to William Lloyd Garrison, [18]67 Sept[ember] 13

1867

James Miller M'Kim writes to William Lloyd Garrison after learning that Garrison is "to address a Freedmens Aid meeting at Manchester" and he wishes to inform him of "the latest news of our movement." M'Kim insists that "It is still a movement" and "the more [President] Johnson hates it and the more the rebel[s] gnash their teeth against it, the more prosperously it goes forward". He says the mission of the Bureau to educate former slaves is the reason it is so hated by former slave masters and Copperhead Democrats. "A Copperhead Democrat hates negro education worsre than the Devil hates holy water," he writes. He discusses ways that President Johnson has tried to sabotage the agency and their success "establishing normal schools, and graded schools" throughout the South. M'Kim also sends Garrison a copy of "the Freedman" (not included) which explains the "school system we are trying to inaugurate." He asks Garrison about the Paris Conference aimed at ending slavery globally and asks him to "pay us a visit." In the postscript, M'Kim describes the "Normal school we are about to establish in Tennessee" and asks about Garrison's family, commenting on the death of the father of Henry Villard, Garrison's son-in-law, "Poor Harry! ... Hereafter you will be his only father."

Letter from Lewis White, Waterbury, [Conn.], to William Lloyd Garrison, July 31st 1872

1872

Lewis White writes William Lloyd Garrison stating that, if he is "not mistaken", Garrison's "sympathies for the coloured race" would not permit Garrison to using his influence "in throwing them into the clutches of the democratic party". White asserts that nothing could happen to the United States that could be worse than the election of Horace Greeley, whom he declines to refer to by name, acknowledging him only as the "nominee of the democrats". White suggests that Garrison appeal to the African-American community to urge them to support the reelection of Grant.
