Mr.. E1IroR:-
The Evansville Weekly Enquirer Of 18th,
contains an article IN reference to a meeting
that was held this week at pases sile, in the
bounds 81 my field of labor. And as con-
slider the article referred to, an open, unpro-
yobed and ungentlemanly assault upon myself
ans the ministry, who were in attendance
l hope you will do me kindness, by giving
me space in your paper for reply.
The author whs is supposed to be the editor
or one Of his, servants, says:
1--WE are informed by-.a citizen Of PoseyFillc
that a conyocation Of tAergymen rs to take
place in that quiet village next week What
the os5eetJa view is does nat appear, as there
is 10 gsiglogs meeting at that time appointed. !

heard rae announce tine me ting. and exhert
them to attend j., that the statement is .
falsehood Furthermore. Know Ne; hlngism
was not thought of in cenexoR Nth this
meeting All Ger meetings were ptibiic5 and
two 0. the ministers in attendance were for
eigners. A gross insult was offered to our
brethren of foreign birth, BY, the editor or his
under-strapper.
We hail foreigners as worthy associates
But the author OF the article referred to- very
sarcastically advises. them to seek their level
and associate with the negroes. But they
{, considered the source. Surely it is better to
associate even with negro, than the man who
gave this advice. He would SMUT the hand )
