CIRCULAR.

To Baptist ConUentioas, Ministers,
Churches and Congregations III The

The Poor SLGUe, and Advocates Of In
mediate Emancipation.
Dearly Beloved in the Lord:
We the undersigned, address you as
Baptized Believers, in the name of The
Great Head of the Church, and of His
suffering poor. In the opinion Of meet
ing of Baptist Abolitionists, he'd this day
in the city of New York, and whose rep
resentatives we are, the period has arriv-
ed when some judicious measures should
be taken to call National Baptist Con-
vention, to prepare the way for organic
ing an AMERICAN BAPTIST ANTI-SLAvE-
RY SOCIETY.
The providence OF God seems to have
caused necessity for such an organiza-
ton And while we do not aim to array
ourselves against any well managed So
cieties already in existence, we think it
obvious that, as Baptisls, we can now
accomplish more by laboring on our own
platform, than in any other way.
We therefore whose names are annex
ed, cordially address TO you this Circular.
You will oblige US by sending your
names as soon as convenient, should YOU
