PROSPECTUS OF THE
CABINET OF FREEDOM,
PROSPECTUS OF THE
CABINET OF FREEDOM.


ITO all who note the signs of the times,
= it must be obvious that the character
and consequences of American slavery,
the plans proposed for its removal, and the
influence of those plans on the union and
prosperity of the nation, are to become
topics of general and absorbing interest.
1t is natural and proper that the citizens
of free country should carefully lnvesti-
gate the nature of ap institution necessa-
rily affecting the moral and political well
fare of themselves and their posterlty, and
should anxiously inquire what conduct
respecting it is required by duty and pru-
dence, Discussion has been excited and
will not and cannot be suppressed In
the social circle, and in the crowded as
sembIy, in the pulpit, and in the legisla-
tive hall, slavery is the theme of frequent
and earnest inquiry; and the press is
pouring forth Its multtudinous publica-
tions on the same momentous topic.
The subscriber fatters himself that by
collecting in cheap but neat form, the
most valuable and instructive works re-
lating to the great subject that is now ag-
itating the whole country, he will not on
ly crafty the prevailing thirst for inform
alton, but also promote the cause of truth
and justice
The Cabinet will comprise both origin
al and selected articles, embracing, among
othertopics, the history ofthe legal abolition
of the African slave-trade-the history
and consequences of emancipation in the
British West India IsIands-the past anc
present state of St Domingo-discussion:
on the lawfulness of slavery-the actua
condition of the slaves in the United
States, and an examination of the various
modes of enancipating them which have
been recommended.
The selections will from time to tim,
be made by gentlemen whose names will
be given to the public, and who will be re
sponsble for the general character of tn
, articles, but not for all the opinions AM
assertions they may contain. a.
AS the Cabinet of Freedom will be de
voted to subjects connected with slavery
its name may be thought singularly inaF
propriate to its contents. The incongru
; ty, however, is only apparent, since tn
= subscriber trusts that the Cabinet will e1

u |, immediate and universal emancipation.
