ton to the course pursued by brother
Stedman in what follows. His exposure
and rebuke of the (" wolf" who got among

the package of the Telegraphs, (25,) which
purpose 10 send to my friends in different
parts of the country, TO let them know that
we have not forgotten the crushed bondman,
nor relaxed our Efforts for his emancipation
and also TO encourage them TO persevere unto

advocate of universal liberty; and maintains

e we have done much, much still remains to
j be done. Although less of public odium
e attaches to abolitionists, their principles,
b and advancing cause; less of personal vic.
r lence, obloquy and scorn, still they have to
. contend with open enemies and pro esseo
!, friends; the latter by far the greatest hin
drance 10 the cause, The greatest stumbling
