Mr. Collins worked for it in California in the early days. Mrs. Chapman, whohad embraced Mr. Collins's doctrines, was one of the first pillars of theSuffrage movement. Later, when Mr. Douglass determined to establish a newspaper and becomeits editor, he was obliged to leave New England, "for the sake of peace, "he says, as his Anti-slavery friends opposed it, saying that it was absurdto think of a wood-sawyer offering himself as an editor. In Rochester, N. Y. , he established "The North Star. "... He says, "I was then a faithfuldisciple of William L. Garrison, and fully committed to his doctrinetouching the pro-slavery character of the Constitution of the UnitedStates, also the non-voting principle, of which he was the known anddistinguished advocate. With him, I held it to be the first duty of thenon-slaveholding States to dissolve the union with the slaveholdingStates, and hence my cry, like his, was 'No union with slaveholders. 'After a time, a careful reconsideration of the subject convinced me thatthere was no necessity for 'dissolving the union between the northern andsouthern States;' that to seek this dissolution was no part of my duty asan abolitionist; that to abstain from voting was to refuse to exercise alegitimate and powerful means for abolishing slavery; and that theConstitution of the United States not only contained no guarantees infavor of slavery, but, on the contrary, was in its letter and spirit anAnti-slavery instrument, demanding the abolition of slavery as a conditionof its own existence as the supreme law of the land.
