DEAN MAmUs; You have had accounts Of
our doings from J. w. Walker, since our srri-
val among tho Volcsrcnes. Our meetings III
Adrian, Raisin, Franklin, Wolf Creek, Liteh-
field, Union City, and this place, have all excl
ted much interest and discussion. Two meet
ings were held at Fosters School, for coiored,
as well as white children, near Jackson's Mills.
have attended no meetings in Michigan, that
gave me more satisfaction not so much on ac-
count of the number present nor Of the good
done, but from tho perfect Illustration given Of
the truth that white and eolorcd people can and
do live in peace and love, on terms Of social
equality and of the lie Of colonization that they
cannot live thus together. Prior Foster is n
black man, and has a wife and several grown up
daughters. 1t was beautiful to my heart to SEQ
the respect, and kindly interest and affection
paid to this family by the white men and wo-
men. who came to the meetings from Eve miles
around.
OF our encounter with the Baptist Deacon,
and his rowdy companions a. Litchfcld, James
has sent you an account. Altogether it was ..
rich scene, and will have its effect to open the
eyes of men to the unscrupulous, mean, and vi
cious character Of those who arc in and Of Sec
tartan churches. We put up with man there

Deacon in Presbyterian Church, but has left
that Church for conscience sake, because hs
could not longer be accessory to its sins and cor
ruptions.
From I.itchfcld we went TO Union City,
Thcro held three meetings in the Methodist
Church. Many came to hear the Anti-Slavery

heard of a village, from which Que third Of tho

fever on tho character and destiny of tho ma

tomb of this nation, as were those of Peru and
Chill, the grave Of Spain. Thousands os huI-
bands aud fathers, from this region, go to dig
gold, leaving wives and children to live as they
may. The holicst aud most endearing tics OF

We hsveh had good meetings here, and at HI

has done a work in Michigan, that will tell
powerfully OH the parts of the State in which
he has laborcd. None of the Anti. Slavery
