sentiment was against John Brown and
his noble coadjutors, and referred me to
Mr.. Curtis lecture at National Hall, where
vitrol was thrown among the audience;
that they two members of board of nine
persons) had concluded to close the hall.
With this the agent acquiesced, and hand
ed me the dollar l bad advanced on the
rent, saying that if ] would assure him
that no report would go out from themeet-
ing we might have the hall. This / could
not do, as knew that the correspondent
of the "Anglo African" would be there and
note the proceedings. This is a plain
statement of the facts in the case. Had a
majority of the board instructed the agent
not to open the hall, he would not have
been blameable, but by thus catering to
the fears of two single individuals in the
board he has shown himself to be willing,
suppliant tool to the whims and caprices of
other men. DAVIS D. TURNER.
