Brother Murray AS it is ever graft
flying to learn that cause we love, and in
which we labor, is advancing, have tho't
it proper for me, as secretary of our Soci-
ETY.. to inform you that the Windsor Co.
Anti-Slavery Society held meeting at
Felchv;lle, on the 4th of the present
month, which manifestly resulted in the
promotion of the cause of equal rights,
and constitutional liberty.
The exercises were, an address in the
morning, and free discussion in the after
noon. About so names were added to the
constitution, and much larger number
would have been obtained if it had been
presented at an earlier hour-it was defer
| red until large part of the audience had
left. This l believe is very frequent
fault, in similar meetings But as associ-
ated, organized action is the most effective
action, all should be earnestly solicited to
identity themselves with this cause, and
thus stand forth the declared friends OF
freedom and justice. The people on this
occasion listened with deep interest, and
seemed ready not only to hear, but to EN-.
brace the truth in the love of it. This is
a striking characteristic of the day. Our
principles are rapidly spreading our
friends are becoming confirmed as they
are enlig htened, and thousands are rally.
ing to our standard. Nothing seems
wanting but faithfulness, unity of action
and singleness of purpose, to effect Nigh
ty change in the public mind, and roll or
the abolition car to complete triumph.
| But, my brother, am panied to tn,
heart, while witness the want of unior
in feeling, and action which at present il
so manifest among abolitionists. Their
seems to be serious division in the Anti
Slavery ranks, which, if not speedily re
moved, will very much enfeeble thei
cause and render their efforts abortive.-
