Description
A quarterly meeting of the Methodist Church North was broken up a few days ago, in Platte County, Missouri, by a mob of pro-slavery ruffians. The Rev. Mr. Morris seized while preaching, amid shouts of “hang him,” ‘‘shoot him.” He was finally released on a promise to leave the place. The other preachers escaped during the disturbance. The mob brought tar, feathers and hemp along with them.Date(s) of Creation
