breeze was stirred by pr. Hamilton, one
OF the secretaries Of the society. who In
his report accused the representative or
the Methodist Church South OF obstruct-
ing the work Of the society on behalf Of

held the lynching Of negroes in the S5uth.
The speech proved a sensation, but no ac-
ton was taken IN the matter by the meet
ing. The balance Of the day vas taken up

in command of the onward. a post he
held until 1852, when he steered tde fam
Gus sloop Fannie to many victories.
Then he went aboard the cup defender
Mayfiower, and afterward he took the
