The meeting called for the double purpose of
preserving this blessed Union and promoting
Cassism came off at the time appointed produc-
ing quito variety of emotions. At the time
for which tho meeting was called, the Hall
(wherc the mob met to train prior to their as
sault on us) was crowded with as Heterogeneous
n mass rs could well be collected, influenced by
as great variety of motives; some it is oven
said having no motive at all. In due time the
meeting was called to order by the appointment
of an old bunker Democrat from the country,
as chairman, who, when called upon to state
the object Of the meeting, avowed himself en-
tirely ignorant upon that subject, but gave it as
his opinion that somo person who signed the
CALL should state the object. Whercupon sew
Cral were called out, one giving it as his opinion
that the cali vas plain enough without cxplana-
ton. Another undertook to state the tromcnd-
Gus circumstances that had moved the signers
to eaR the meeting together, while another diff
fcrcd entirely from him, and was sure he had
mistaken the whole matter.
At last committee was appointed to pre-
pare resolutions, composed, l believe, Of all
the political parties. 1t was moved that they
report in a week. But no, the Union was in
it the committee went, every one reporting on
his own hook, and proposing resolutions in ac-
cordanco with his own views, which were duly
acted upon and roted doirn, until Gen. Morey,
the soldier that was to have led the troops in
their attack upon our meeting, but did not, be-
cause of powerful spiritual influence under
which he was at the time laborng, the chairman
of the Committee rose and withdrew, declaring
he would have nothing to do with them he
was not going to write himself an ass Several
resolutions to adjourn were voted down. and the
Priest that haranguod the mob at the Odd Eel
lows Hall declared the meeting mob, &c.
SO ended this great ofEoit to keep the Union
from splitting showing verify what a united
people we arc.

ed the Constitution, and commenced operations
for the next Fair. Between eight and nine dol
lars were paid by the members to purchase ma

felt the influence Of encouraging friends. We
shall try TO get others to cooperate with them.
While holding meetings at Adrian, Joseph
and went to Tocumsch ten miles distant, to
prepare for meetings there We obtained the
Baptist Church from tho Trustees, and left our
notices, expecting to commence there on the
following Monday But no sooner were VIC
gone, that the most intense excitement prevail
ed. Rev. Mr.. Watson, Presbyterian, who was
in Ohio City when was in charge at Cleveland,
became very much alarmed; he saw in his i'm

Baptist minister, we arc told and warned him
of his danger, declaring that he knew the writer
when in Cleveland, and their only safety was in
keeping us out of town. The mob were of the
celestial guide, tore down the notices, and
thrcatcd that they would tear down the church
if we were allowed to enter it. What could
the poor trustees dos They would be glad to
hear; but the ministers and mob were opposed,
and they must yield. Joseph, and Ephraim
Rulon, Quaker friend, tried to obtain another
place, but it was all in vain. So we raised the
siege and beat retreat. With the vigilant as
sistance of Thos. Chandler, at whose house
we had welcome homo, and of Daniel Bonsall
of Ohio, whom VIC met there, meetings were
advertised and held on Tuesday and the two
following evenings--also at the same time at a
school house about four miles distant Joseph
and l speaking at each place alternately. Tho
meetings were very crowded and very effective.
The Friends Orthodoxy have a large meeting
house close to the school house where the poo
pie were packed and jambed, but its doors were
boltcd and barred against the slave as firmly as
Heaven is against such Quakcrs. We paid a
short visit to the father of Jane Trescott, who
treated us kindly, but would not give his con-
sent that we should occupy the meeting house.
