Your Committee beg leave hereto hotiCe d
two important measures of the parent So a
thew be the Society's measures Q
which may be termed ne1o in the history a
of this enterprise. We allude TO the re- c
cent employment of female agents, and a
of a chiIdren' agent to travel, lecture and t
form societies. From such agencies it is I
but rational to look for great and salutary 6
results. The importance of instlling I
correct principles into the minds of chill {
dren, is dictate of reason and revelation 1
a maxim that has obtained the univer-
sal consent of mankind. 1t has been said !;
and no doubt with much truth, that all chill
dren, unbiased by education, are abOli-
tionists. Only train them up then, Gin
the way they should go," and in twenty
years--the space of time that it took Clark
son and Wilberforce to bring the English
Parliament to act on the foreign slave .
trade-we shall have a generation of alb
olitionists. What is highly felictous TO
our cause in this case is, the engagement
of HENRY c. WR1GHT as agent Mr..
Wright has been employed as chiIdren's
minister in Boston. He is Il man whose
svul is all benevolence and philanthropy,
and whose words are the law of kindness.
He is the very man for the station to which
he is called. The females yet employed
as travelling agents, arc two sisters OF the
late amented Thomas S. Grimke, Of
South. Carolina Born and educated in
the midst Of slavery, naturally endowed
with minds of high order, with CORES

work. TIE defenders Of lcgalized rob-
berry, RIGHTEOUSNESS and manslaughter,

S consequences And we'll they may; for

d despotism into the dust

a have to communicate on this occasion, by

ness and determination of the members oil
