CIRCULAR.

To Baptist ConUentions, Minister,
Churches and Congregations IN The
United States OF America, Friends of
the Poor SIave, and Advocates of In
mediate Emancipation.
Dearly Beloved in the Lord:
We the undersigned, address Won as
Baptized Believers, in the name of Inc
Great Head of the Church, and of His
suffering poor. In the opinion Of a meet
ing OF Baptist Abolitionists, held this day
IN the city of New York, and whose reD
resentatives we are. the period has arriy-
ed when some judicious measures should
be taken to call National Baptist Con-
vention, to prepare the way for organiz-
ing an AMERICAN BAPTIsT ANTISLAyE-
RY SOCIETY.
The providence of God seems to have
caused necessity for such an oreaniza-
ton. And while we do not aim to array
ourselves against any well managed So
cIet!es already in existence, we think il
obvious that, as Baptists, we can now
accomplish more by laboring on our own
platform, than in any other way.
We therefore whose names are annsx-
ed, cordially address to you this Circular.
You will oblige US by sending YOUR
names as soon as Convenient, should YOU
approve the object contemplated. to either.
