The Liberator

George Thompson.—It is but two or three weeks since the papers that are enlisted in the cause of slavery, were publishing affidavits, purporting to have been made in London, but from which the authors very prudently withheld their signatures, charging Mr. Thompson with crimes, which, by the laws of England, are punishable with death. The same papers are now announcing the fact of Mr. Thompson's departure from the U. S. on his return to the scene of his imputed crimes! What a hair-brained fellow this George Thompson must be! Or rather, what infamous liars does this single fact prove his persecutors to be.—Republican Monitor.

George Thompson.—This gifted and abused individual has, it appears, left this persecuting land for his native country. Jonah was heard at Ninevah, and Paul at Athens, but a Christian nation could not brook the reproach of his mission of charity and zeal for the slave. Posterity, yea, the world, now will decide between them. He carries with him the confidence and best wishes of the friends of the oppressed and will meet at home with that meed of honor and reward of which his enemies here have basely strove to rob him. His witness is in Heaven, and his record is on high.'—Fall River Recorder

George Thompson.—We cannot find words adequate to express our abhorrence of the spirit which has followed him during his sojourn in our country, and which at length by calumny and detraction has compelled him to flee for a time to Britain. It is the same spirit of evil which has beset the reformers of every age. It pursued the early defenders of the Christian faith till they found refuge in the dens and caves of the earth; it made martyrs of God's own apostles, and drained the life-blood of Heaven's Anointed.—Vermont State Journal.
