Ny last was written from the Rockwell
school house, where we had held one meet
inr. The second evening increased the
number of our audience, as also the attention
paid to the discussion of the subject. We
had been forewarned in reference TO the
treatment we might expect at this meetings and
should not have been disappointed it violence
had been used. We were, however, disap-
pointed. No violence was offered, although
our most radical views were presented with
out stint. We acted upon the old adage
that we i" nigh, as well be killed for a sheep
as a lamb" The people could not be in a
worse state Of mind TO receive the truth than
they are just now. Every one looks with
jealousy upon all others, lest their influence
should ind some "sovereign" to change
his mind and cast his suffrage for the oppos-
ing candidate. They cannot conceive how
we can lecture on the subject of slavery,
without advocating the claims Of some per-
son to the Presidential chair.
The friend with whom we staid told us
before we left that he had heard so much
about US and our views, between the time
that he had invited us to stay with him and
our coming, that he had made up his mind
TO let us stay with him over the night, and
then tell US that our absepce would be pre-
ferable to our company. But although he is
a Taylor man he had entirely changed his
mind, made us welcome, subscribed for the
Buple, and when we left invited us back TO
the hospitalities Of his house, and wished us
"God speed"

S point, where we had two meetings appointed

had been kindly invited TO the house of Mr..
Paine, a " Free Soiler; )" but, in consequence
of unforeseen circumstances, we were pro
