The committee Of the Enti-Slavery Socie-
ty declined discontinuance of the paper, at
the same time rendering the following
reasons:
l.. Because compliance would be
virtual surrender of the freedom of the
Press.
2. Because the. Phllanthropist was
the acknowledged organ of $4,000 citi-
zens Of Ohio, who believe the existence of
slavery to be incompatible with the per-
manence ofthe country's institutions.
. 3, Because the Philanthropist was the
only Journal through which the facts, ar

community. Its discontinuapce would be
tacit submission to the demand of the
South, that slavery should never be men

to have given them and tn have lived to

principle involved in them, they should let
their right hands forget their cunning and
their tongues cleave to the roofs Of their
mouths. A surrendry of them would
have been treason against every whole
some and righteous institution of our
country-treason against posterity-trea,
son against Christianity-treason against
the high trust committed to US by our
Creator in bestowing these rights and re-
curing their exercise. But the pearls
were trampled under The feet of the swine

tar and feathers prepared, search was ther
made for Mr. Birney and other prominen
abolitionists, but for aught We have heerc
