p. S. On further revolving the question
my mind, have come 10 the conclusion
.at il is my duty 10 state some things re-
peciing Mr.. Curtis, which at first thought
would not at present mention. They are
follows:-
After he had professed great sympathy
the Anti-Slavery cause, and proposed
meeting Of both societies 10 hear Mr.

ned his back upon him al his lecture
ben Mr.. s.. called upon him TO enquire
10 his reasons for such treatment after
liking such pretensions, Mr.. Curtis in an
genilemanlv manner, left Mr.. Seely SET
pg in bis [Curlis'l'room without returning
bile Mr.. S. larried, which was some ter
fifteen minutes. Mr. c. never pretended
me that he had any other reason for thi:
pneuct, than Mr.. Seely's severe reboke, o.
prsh language, as he termed il. Mr.. See.
then went 10 Hubbardlon, and persuaded
e Rev. w. C. Denison 10 go with him &c
BIT Mr.. Curtis, 10 see whether a reconcil
lion could be effected before he left. They
