church on the evening. In response to
this announcement the church was filled
at an early hour. A large proportion of
the audience were black. Wendell Phi
lips, Fred. Douglas and other John
Brown sympathizers indicated their OPT
Mons. Outside of the church there was
an immense crowd and a strong force of
police. The disturbance was confined to
noisy demonstrations, though the crowd
seemed very anxious to get hold Of Red
path. The meeting broke up about ten
o'clock, and the audience dispersed quiet
ly. Some of the leading spirits were
hooted at while passing through the
crowd, but no violence was committed.

the meeting. In anticipation of a riot,
the I'd battalion of infantry was called in
readiness at their armory by order Of
the mayor. The police force, however,
was amply sufficient, and the evening
passed with good natured, but great pa
triotic excitement.
