: We further hope, that the abolition ladies' in your
towh, will form association and enlist in this same
visiting service. y
We hope every town, without fail, will nominate
Liberty ticket for town officers, the ny election
We hope friends will hold their meetings, in new
portions, places of their town.
We believe should take great pains to the
school masters and mistresses towns to caus
because through them and their scholars we can mott
fly abolition meetings. and often hold by their
sent meeting in their school rooms. Let every d.
vision of two in town have perfect list of each OF
friends, and also of all nquirers and doubtful ones
Our friends in New York State have prepared the
following form of petition Congress against the act
of 1898.
To the Congress Of the United States in the Senate and
House Of Represrn atires assembled:
Your petitioners, portion of the citizrms of the
County of in the State of New
York, beg leave to represent
That regard the act Of Congress Of 1893, by
which the shareholders OF the Southern States come
armed into peaceful quiet towns, alarming
people by pursuing defenceless and guiltless men,
women and children, a great crime against human
nature and by which the writ of Habeas Corpus is
dumb and Jury trial speechless and Justice herself
powerrss in her own temple. By this law we are
compelled to look passvely upon which, it
committed on the HIGH SEAS would doom the doer to a
pirate fate
We, therefore, most respectfully pray that the act of
1893 be repealed this session of Congress and
that the fields and hearth-stones of the Empire State
may longer be stained with the blood of the innocent
slave, marked by the foot prints of the ferocous
Shareholder.
We incline think there is a slight error in the cap
ton. The legal style is the " Senate and House OF
Representatives in Congress assembled But perhaps
it will make difference.
The Liberty Press proposes Grand Mass Conven
ton, Rome, Helkimer or Little Falls, about the
first of February, to complete the organization, ana
nominate G"rer"or and Lieut. Gorernor for 1874. The
Tocsin favors the Convention but thinks it premature
to make the nominations so long beforehand. The
Press gives several in favor of early nom
nation, one of the most urgent of which is thus ex
pressed:
I'VE may reasonably infer that the party
defeated at the late election shall that hole
the 6 BALANCE POWER, it will propose alliance
The proposal will be made, doubtless, under somewha
of different form from the old anti-masonic alliance
1t will show Itself, apprehend in attempt to gs
in party, at our smaller eectnns-town meetings
county elections, &c. keeping up its old organization
all the while and trying TO merge in ii, while it
tenSibiy merges itself in the Liberty party. Now
whatever may be the fthirS of the SCATTERING PART
Abotonist, about holding the BALANCE POWER, an,
all such nonsense, we go against any coalition will
either OF these par les, snch in the slightest degree
Nominate no man for any Office who has not cut him
self entirely and forever loose from the and has
himself good and true soldier. The better the mel
the more dangerous they to freedom, while in suc
associations. We have never reposed trust in
them who has not betrayed US, from j. @. Adams dow
tn some q" Wing Abolition" Justice of the Peace Fo
the slaves sake let them alone. When such men o
their free will ready to cruelty their reputa
ton, their standing and their popularity for the
of Liberty, they will find out. Til that time let
trust in the living Grd and his great imperishabl
truths, and not 60 Egypt for charos and horsemer
| An early nomination Of our Gnbernatorial and Vic
Guhernatorial candidates will save US much trouble
this matter, and strongly keep any portions
the party from entangng alliances, should oppc
nents propose any.
This is sound argument, and should be conclusive i
| favor Of early nomination. but whether early
| next February, not positive. If nominato
be made to general satisfaction, the tn
| better. If not don't be in a hurry.
| A HINT FOR NEW YORK
| DEAR SIR,-I wish you would recommend to tn
people of this State to send petitions to the Leg;s;
lature, asking them to pass law prohibiting the use
the ia and other prisons of this State be used fc
