I should think that in less than fifteen minutes there were about one thousand persons standing around, listening.

I saw many of them shedding tears while I related the sad story of my wrongs.

At twelve o'clock we adjourned the meeting, to meet again at the same place at two P.M.Our afternoon meeting was well attended until nearly sunset, at which time, we saw some signs of a mob and adjourned.

The mob followed us that night to the house of Mr.Ore, and they were yelling like tigers, until late that night, around the house, as if they wanted to tear it down.
In the fall of 1844, S.B.Treadwell, of Jackson, and myself, spent two or three months in lecturing through the State of Michigan, upon the abolition of slavery, in a section of country where abolitionists were few and far between.

Our meetings were generally appointed in small log cabins, school houses, among the farmers, which were some times crowded full; and where they had no horse teams, it was often the case that there would be four or five ox teams come, loaded down with men, women and children, to attend our meetings.
But the people were generally poor, and in many places not able to give us a decent night's lodging.
