ANOTHER ABOLITION SOCIETY
We learn from the Cincinnati Standard, that a ‘respectable number of the citizens of Fayette, Ross and Highland counties’, (Ohio) met at Greenfield recently for the formation of an Abolition Society. ‘After an appropriate sermon, delivered by the Rev. James H. Dickey, , Mr. Thomas Ghormly was called to the chair, and a constitution adopted, embracing the fundamental doctrines of the Abolitionists. The Society is called, ‘the Abolition Society of Paint-valley.’ Officers: Col. Thos. Rogers, President; Hon. Hugh Smart, Vice-President; Joseph T. Irwin, Recording Secretary; Rev. Jas. H. Dickey, Corresponding Secretary; Mr.Joseph Lawhead, Treasurer; Messrs Hugh Ghormly and Jas. McConnel, members of the executive committee for Fayette county, Messrs Robert Braiden and Geo. Grown for Ross county, and Messrs Samuel Smith and Samuel McConnel for Highland county’.
