At any rate, this is about the only part of my performance that I now distinctly remember.

But excited and convulsed as I was, the audience, though remarkably quiet before, became as much excited as myself.

Mr.Garrison followed me, taking me as his text; and now, whether I had made an eloquent speech in behalf of freedom or not, his was one never to be forgotten by those who heard it.
Those who had heard Mr.Garrison oftenest, and had known him longest, were astonished.

It was an effort of unequaled power, sweeping down, like a very tornado, every opposing barrier, whether of sentiment or opinion.

For a moment, he possessed that almost fabulous inspiration, often referred to but seldom attained, in which a public meeting is transformed, as it were, into a single individuality--the orator wielding a thousand heads and hearts at once, and by the simple majesty of his all controlling thought, converting his hearers into the express image of his own soul.
