Garrison's visit to England enraged the pro-slavery people and press of the United States at the outset, and when he returned home in September, with the " Protest " against the Colonization Society, and announced that he had engaged the services of George Thomp- son as a lecturer against American slavery, there were fresh outbursts of rage on every hand. The American Anti-Slavery Society was organized in December of that year, put- ting forth a masterly declaration of its princi- ples and purp...oses from the pen of Mr. -Garri- son. This added fresh fuel to the public excite- ment, and when Mr. Thompson came over in the next spring, the hostility to the cause began to manifest itself in mobs organized to suppress the discussion of the slavery question. Now began what Harriet Martineau called " the Martyr Age in America. " Mr. Thompson gained a favorable hearing in a few places, but his appearance in any town or city became at length the signal of a mob, and in the fall of 1835 he was compelled, in order to save his life, to embark secretly for England.
