| with A. Keith, converted "Dlsciplc. On our
arrival at the village, we found meeting cx-
pectcd, but no ono knew where it would be
held. There is but ono Meeting House in the
place, that owned by the followers Of Alex.
Campbell. That was closed against the meet
ing, so there was no place left but School
House, to which the people seemed instructive
| ly to wcnd their way. When VIC arrived, the
/ house was fastened, both doors and windows,
so that for a time, 1t seemed as though no place
would be obtained. Quite large number OF
men began to gather, and many appeared dis
satisfied at the appearance Of things, at last ono
| of the windows was driven In, and the door
opened. But by this time, so great was the
collection of people, that it became necessary to
move the seats into the open air, when under
the softening influence of the full moon. We
worshipped the Great Father, by laboring to
restore to their rights, his plundercd aud tor
mented children. The meeting far exceeded
our expectations, and the best and deepest in
| tcrest prevailed. Parker spoke with uncom-
mon energy and power showing how terrible
had been the influence OF tho clergy against the
efforts to libcrate the slave. IIis arguments,
facts and illustrations seemed to rivot the at
tcntion of the entire audience, and produced
| deep emotions. l followed with some obscrva-
tions on the character Of Christianity, contras-
ted with our present institutions, which AVA
kcned little opposition on the part of solita-
ry individual, who thought our uttcrances were
| blasphcmous. Sojourncr Truth, was mighty
moved and spoke as never heard her in Ohio
The meeting was completely captvatcd by her,
| they bought good plumber of her books, and
unanimously invited her to return and hold a
meeting.
Our ncxt appointment was Carrollton, the
County scat for two weeks it had been announ-
ced in both the papers published there, that Sal
lie IIollCy would speak, the meeting was held
in the Court House. That in the afternoon
pretty well attended, that OF the evening filed
tic house; but Sallie did not come, to the no
small Disappointment of tho people, and our
selves. Parker spoke on she Government and
Politics Of the country, and although he uttered
our most unpalutable truths, no opposition was
offered. There sat members of Congress, and
Lawyers in numbers, mute or acknowledging
the truthiulness OF the remarks. Carrollton is
cursed by politics, and doubly cursed by rcli-
gion, of, l don't know how many different kinds
No Anti Slavery papers taken. No Anti
Slavery books read, therefore, no heart to do
anything for the cause oftruth and freedom.
Our next meetings were ut this place, a place
to me Of many pleasant and painful recollee-
tions. Weha orcoursc hearty welcome from
our old and tried friends, who had made every
preparation for the Convention. And glo-
rious time VIC had OF it. have attended many
meetings here, but none equal in numbers or
devoutncss to this. The Secretary Report will
be furnished. will say, however, that so far
wchave had Six sessions, all Of the most deeply
interesting character.
As you are aware, the young people have
been preparing for Fair to aid the cause,
which has succeeded beyond their most san
guine expectations. There are but a very few
who arc members of tho Sewing Circle, perhaps
not more than eight, and these oil young ladies.
But their hearts were set on doing something
for thc'slavc. On Saturday morning, the Fair
opened, and more tasteful table of articles,
have seldom seon. lis true, it could not boast
of costly fabrics, or manufactured articles from
the rich or poor Of other lands, but all was the
offering of the free purc-heart right here.
Many young heart beat with anxiety as to
the result. On the back ground hung most
beautiful quilt, for which sixteen dollars was
paid, and the quilt dedicated to the great pio-
necr, w. L. Garrison, as a token OF the attach
ment, ofthe friends to him personally for his
unwavering fidelity in tho slaves cause. A
public Supper was also provided by the Ladies,
the sacramental board, pledged themselves anew
to the cause of freedom.
The proceeds of this, also, went to the West
ern Society. As the result Of this virgin effort,
not less, think. than fifty dollars, will be the
result. Besides this, pledges have been made,
TINT in all, will amount to considerably over
one hundred dollars. Great praise is due the
Prices, Robys. Millisacks, Lawthers aud others
for their devotion to the cause. Never did the
bigotry and scetarianism rave so madly as they
do now and l must as Anti-Slavcry intelligent
cer communicated few facts. There have been
in the Wesleyan Church, few precious souls,
who have always sympathized with us, in our
efforts to free the slave, bidding us welcome to
their homes and hearts. Among whom is found
Salley Millisack, Polly and james Price, John
and Samuel Holmes, and few others. These
have become obnoxious to Priests, Dempstcr
and Phillips and Thompson, and they have re-
solved that they will not fellowship any of tho
above, or others, who give any countenance to
the comeouters; so they have gone off and
formed new class, thus withdrawing from the
only decent people in the Church. They will
not tako the communion, for fear these friends
