the sum- and we were glad to make her nc
quaiutance. She is young woman Of ex-
cellent abilities aud rare intelligence, radical
on various Subjects, warm and jealous
Aboiiionst, and earnestly bent upon doing |
good to mankind. Her religious opinions
are Orthodox ia the Oberlin sense, and she !
has not heretofore acted with our school of
Aboltionists. We were glad TO welcome |
her upon our platform, though she differed
ton. Oberlin has taught her to be afraid of
the 'Infdeliiy' Of our movement but better
acquaintance with the Disunonists will dis
pei all her prejudices and make her willing,
in spite Of her Orthodoxy, to cooperate
heartily with us on the anti-slavcry platform.
We may observe in this connection that Sc
yera other students from Oberlin were pre-
sent, among whom were our young friend,
Richmond Winsor, from Rhode Island, and
Sally IIollcy IA daughter of the late Myron
Holley) of Rochester, N. Y. Miss II. is
woman of fine powers and high cultivation,
and we were glad to meet with one who had
been able to avail hersefo of the educational
advantages of Oberin and yet preserve her.

so prevalent there,
Our meeting on Friday afternoon was en-
lvened by the attendance of two clergymen,
one of them Free Presbyterian, by the
name of Lunsden, and the other a MIR.
Longley, who, if we arc not mistaken, is a
Congregationaist. MIR. Lumsden interroga-
ted Mr.. Wright as to his religious views, be-
ginning with the question, DO you believe
in Godp This led to a most exciting de-
bate, in which the position of the Abolition
lists and the Christian character of their priu-
ciples and measures were ably defended by
| Wright, Pillsbury, Walker and A. X. Foster.
| The accusations brought against them were
shown to be false, and the brand of infidel-
ty placed where ii belongs, upon the fore
head of a corrupt and ialse-hearted Church.
Mrs. Fosters closing speech was eloquent
and powerful, and sent n thrill of delight
through the whole audience.
On Sunday the audience was much in
creased, the great tent being well filed
through the day The speaking was excel
lent, and the impression upon the multitude
must have been good. Much dsappoint-
ment was occasioned by the absence Of Mrs
Foster, who was confined TO the house all
day by an liberated tooth which caused her
great pain and wholly incapacitated her fol
speaking.
Near the close of the meeting on Sunday
afternoon man by the name of Whiting
volunteered to defend the Church agains
the infidel assaults and blasphemies of thu
Abolitionists. lie was a DagueTeotypist
who had just come to town, and who proba
bly, hoped to obtain the patronage of thu
Church by his assaults upon our meeting
lie assumed wonderfully pious air, and af
lected to be dreadiully shocked at our wan
of reverence for God and the Bible. Whei
he had concluded his harangue, it was pro
we'd by eye and ear witnesses that, in con
versations at the hotel, he had manifested hi
zeal in defending tho Church, and dcnoun
cling the AboIitionists by hard siUedying !

+ man, in spite of his impudence, did contriv
to blush. At first he attempted TO deny tn
charge, but when the proof came in a toi
rent too strong to be resisted, tho piou
man sneaked off, cxclaiming as he wen
that Charles Grifiing was a d-d liar
This of course dspeled all doubt of hi
pre-eminent qualifications to defend tn
Church.
