gregotiOns, and Churches IN the United

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 ola meet
ing of Baptist Aboli,ionists, held this day
in the city of New York, and whose rep
resentatives we are, the period has arrived
when some judicious measures should be
taken to call National Baptist Conven-
ton, to prepare the way for organizing an
| AMERICAN BAPTIST ANTI-SLAvERY So
cIETY.
The providence of God seems to have
caused a necessity for such an organiza-
ton. And while we do not aim to array
ourselves against any we'll managed So
cieties already in existence, we think it
obvious that as Baptists, we Can now ac-
complish more by laboring on our own
platform, than in any other way.
! We, therefore, whose names are an
nexed, cordially address TO you this Cir
cular. You will oblige US by sending
your names as soon as convenient, should
4 you approve the object contemplated, to
