colored people went together to the
same churches, and TO the same
schools and ate at the same tables,
and that had never heard Of but
one marriage Of a white and black
couple, "Oberlin, however, is full OF
the fruits Of shareholders amalga-
nation. And how is il down here
in Kentucky where every slave girl
is liable TO be a victim TO the lust
Of her master and to that Of her
masters sons, and Of every mothers
son in the STATED Do you have any
cases Of amalgamation down here?
Now abolition means the ending Of
all that. What class of men, do you
find are the most violently opposed
Ia abolition? Are they the men
who are opposed TO amalgamation or
are they those who practice it9
Every virtuous white girl and wo-
man in the South and North ought
To be an abolitionist in order 10 help
save these enslaved victims from
such menl Every wife, mother and
sister ought to be an abolitiOnist TO
save their husbands, sons and broth
ers from this awful temptationl No
doubt, the sin Of amalgamation is
the supreme crime of American
slaveryw
had special inspiration in de-
livering that message and could see
that I carried that great congrega-
tion with me. They gave good at
tention to the sermon on Christian
union which followed.
Esquire Elisha Harrison and 9TH
ers were there from Station Camp
who canvassed the crowd after the
meeting was dismissed. They found
few thugs there, who had come
well supplied with whisky, to make
trouble, but finding themselves so
largely Outnumbered by our friends
they behaved themselves. One Of
them told Harrison he thought the
sermon was all right; but the lee
ture was mighty hard on "us fell
lows"
Al my fourth visit, Father Wal
lace gave me the reason Of his alb
scnce from the creek ford, and, also.
the reason Of his former long walks.
Before my lecture at the former
meeting. the whole people were in
doubt, and the pronounced enemies
were boisterous and threatening.
Ny friends feared they might way
lay me in the woods on my lonely
way. They knew was a non-resis-
tant and carried no weapons Of de-
Tense. So they took it upon them
selves to protect me. He told me
that every time | crossed the ridge
path-every ridge had a path run
ming its whole length-guards were
stationed, either side tout of sight
at that crossing. They thought !
ought TO be accompanied by some
one all the way over that hill. He
volunteered to this service. He told
me that Immediately after my talk
on amalgamation he trampcd all
over that MISUNDERSTANDING ten
miles in some directions to see how
the people took Candies lecture"
He found il was well received and
that the women. especially, were en-
thusiastic over it. The guards were,
therefore, withheld and there was
no further need of pilot over that
lonely way.
This display Of small ID demo-
cracy did not represent all there
was in Estill County.
About that time two Of the most
influential citizens of Irvine, the
county seat, sent for John G. Fee to
come there and preach in the NJ. f.
Church. He went there. A mob
spirit had been stirred up and a
plan completed to take him down.
The church was packed for that
purpose. Suddenly a check came
to the movement when one Of the
men who had called Mr.. Fee there
arose in the audience and attracted
the attention OF the crowd. He
called their attention to the fact
that he had been a citizen Of the
town for a long time; had tried to
be a useful citizen-he was their
miller-was interested in the pub
lie welfare; that he was one who
had invited Mr.. Fee there; Mr.. Fee
had come and was behaving himself
like a gentleman and should be
treated as such until he proved
himself unworthy Of such treat
ment And he told that mob that
he wanted il understood that until
Mr.. Fee did prove himself unworthy
of such treatment, "if you take him
down you will do il over my dead
body"
