Times as these to prove that the spirit OF
immediate abolitionism is not momenta-
ry, fair weather impulse. but a thorough
conservation and selfsacrifce ofthe soul.
Inc enemies Of the cause. Judging Il by
their own standard. suppose that if the
money IS cut off, abolition must stop. But
they are mistaken. The commercial hur-
r'cane which prostrates the hope of,he OPP
pressor, will but excite the friends ofthe
oppressed to the greater exertion. While
the old oak OF despotism begins to crack
and groan at the roots they will strike the
harder.
One word about the mode of raising
funds in these times. There are some we
believe, who can and will give Of heir
abundance, but the reliance Of the cause
must be chiefly on the contributions Of the
many-the cent, sixpences, shiIIings and
dollars ofthe people. We would suggest,
therefore, that in every place collectors
should BE- appointed, who should each
take district or a list of names, and make
regular application, weekly, monthly, or
quarter v as may be most convenient, for
a sum amounting say ia a cent a day. or
slxDence a week, Of each one who is will
ling 20 come into the plan. There are
few who cannot Civ" in this way. Let
the collectors meet at the concert Of prayer
for the slave, and bring in their gather
ings and let them be RENTED as soon as
they amount to IS or more. The women
and children Of themselves might support
the cause if organized on this plan. Let
rs, dear friends, " work while it is day."
next year it may be 100 late !-Eman.
