"Read it!" "Read it!" said the meeting.
"I will," said he, flinging himself almost round once, in his excitement, reminding me of a war-dance, and then taking his sublime attitude again; when he read,-- "Resolved, Mr.Cheerman, fact is, that Abolition is everything, and nuthin' else is nuthin'." Some of the younger portion of the audience wished to raise a laugh, but the reddening, angry faces of the prominent friends of the slave were turned upon them instantly, and overawed them.
All were silent for a moment, when the Chairman rose to speak.

He was a short man, with reddish hair, and his teeth were almost constantly visible, his lips not seeming to be an adequate covering for them.

He had, moreover, a habit of snuffing up with his nose,--in doing which his upper lip, what there was of it, played its part, and made him show his teeth by frequent spasms.

Being a little bow-legged, he made an awkward effort in coming to the front of the stage; but we all love him, because he is such a vigorous friend of freedom, looking as though he would willingly be executioner of all the oppressors in the land.

He said that he "utterly concurred" with the mover in the spirit of his resolution; it was not, to be sure, in the usual form of resolutions, but that could easily be fixed; and he would suggest that it be referred to the Standing Committee of the Freedom League.
