pRnspECTUs OF TIE
WEEKLY EMANC,PATOR.

TIME Executive Committee ofthc p er-
4 lean Anti Slavery Society find it inn
possible, by the plan of monthly publication
alone, to spread before the public the mass
of Anti Slavery intelligence and documents
which is constantly accommodating on their
hands. and which ought to be in the posses
sion of aboltionsts throughout the land.
Notwithstanding the fierce and systematic
opposition with which the Anti Slavery
cause has to contend, it progresses with
such unexampled rapidly, that its exigen
ciCs cannot be met without an enlargement
of the operations of the press. This has
been felt by its friends in different parts of
the country, as well as by the Committee,
who have been repeatedly urged to revive
theweekIy Emancipator Attic the local
weekly papers devoted to the cause are
many and excellent and their number con-
SANITY increasing, they are of necessity,
local in their character, limited in their cir
culation. 1t seems Indispensable, therefore
that ut this central point, the American Anti
Slavery Society should have an organ,
which shall gather up frem week to week
the intelligence from all quarters, and
through which its Executive Committee
can reach its patrons and friends in every
part ofthe land, with the regularity, prompt
ness, and certainty which the interests of
the cause demand. They have accordingly
determined to issue the Emancipator week
", of the size of the present monthly Eman-
cipator and under the editorial care Of the
Rev. A. a. Phelps.
The monthly Enancipator will be prin-
It'd as before, but under n new name-viz;
CINE VOICE OF FREEDOM

pator monthly have been taken up by cash
subscribers, an equal number of the "Hu-
man Rights" and u proportonate number
of the other publications of the Society
With this and similar facts before them, the
Committee have the fullest confidence that

and adequate support.
