e
society who sent him, had been organized only the night before;
while I know positively, and others knew, that there were
societies organized one week before, for the very purpose of
sending delegates to that Convention; which societies will never
be heard of again, I fear. But the Neal Dow Association, of New
York, exists yet. Their society shall not die; so good comes out
of evil often.

A motion was also made by some one, as better justice to Mr.
Phillips, to refer the credentials of all the delegates of
Massachusetts to the Committee on Credentials, but for very
obvious and prudent reasons, it was not suffered to have a
moment's hearing or consideration. (Miss Brown here read a few
additional lines from the same article, asserting that she was
merely the tool of others, and thrust by them upon the platform;
and charging all the disorder and disturbance of that Convention
to herself and friends, etc.) I needed no thrusting upon the
platform. I was able to rise and speak without urging or
suggestion. And as to the disorder which prevailed throughout the
Convention, who made that disorder? I said not a word to cause

I went there without proper credentials.

One word more as to Mr. Carey. He says, "The negro question was
not discussed as Greeley & Co. wished it to be. O Greeley, how
art thou fallen!" These are Gen. Carey's words, not mine. Mr.
Greeley has risen greatly in my estimation, and not fallen. A
colored delegate[18] did take his credentials to the Convention,
but he was not received. I saw him myself, and asked him what
could be done about it. He folded up his hands and said it was
too late. And this was a "World's Temperance Convention!"

And this paper says that the _New York Tribune_, which has
usually been an accredited sheet, has most shamefully
misrepresented the whole affair, and refers to what was said in
the _Tribune_, as to what the Convention had accomplished: "The
first day, crowding a woman from the platform; second day,
gagging her; and the third day vo
