The Tenth Anniversary OF the formation
OF the American AMti-Siavery Society.


OF the American Anti-slavery Society.
Ga the JourM Of December, 1888, the
American Anti Slavery Society was
formed by delegates from ten States, as
sembled at Philadelphia. AT the last
meeting ofthe society, held at New York,
May 9th, it was
Resolved, That special meeting of
The American Anti-SIavery Society be
held in The city OF Philadelphia, on the
5th day of December next, being the tenth
anniversary of It's formation; and that the
executive committee, and the members
generally, be urged TO use all necessary
measures to procure a numerous and en-
thusiaslic gathering of the aboltionists of
the whole country, 10 celebrate the COM
peion Of The first decade of the national
association"
The STATE ofthe cause and the affairs of
this society are such as to require this
meeting, independently of the exalted
feelings, TIE happy associations. and NOR
al advantages connected with it. There
never was time when aboIitionists, who
sill stand upon the platform erected on
the occasion which it is proposed to cee-
brale, were doing SO little, in proportion
TO the demand of the public mind, as at
present. Moreover, question is now
stirred, apparently in desperate earnest,
BY the Shareholders, which, if pressed,
will involve the crisis in the fate of Amer
lcan slavery. That crisis is very likely
10 come, before our next ordinary meet
ing.
The Executive Committee Of tbs
American Anti-Savery Society do there
fore, in pursuance fthe above resolution,
issue this call TO all members and auxiiar-
les of this society, and to all friends of
genuine freedom who are disposed TO CO.
operate upon the principles of oar coosti-
tuition, TO meet at the city Of Philadcl phia,
on Monday, the fourth dag Of December
next, at 0 o'clock in the forenoon, at such
place as may be asterward desi gnated.
BY order of the Executive Committee.

"Can any good thing come OIL Of MAJ,

answer was, "cOme and see"
Mr. Editor In the ooh number of
the Voice of FreeJom, you have quoted
from what you are pleased to call, Henry
Ciay's "perpstual slavery speech" l
know of no speech among all he has de-
Iivered, bearing that title, or that would
justify the appelation, "pe'petuaL slave-
ry" This stigma, and other attacks, too
numerous, in the Voice, especially by
former Editors, on the political character
OF Henry Clay, and the Wing political
party, of which he appears to be the head
is what every good man in his right reas-
on will look down upon, as unworthy
means, of supporting so good cause as
the emancipation Of the slave. Such back
handed strokes are not wise. A similar
inquiry, with the one at the head Of this
article, appears TO have struck the minds
of many of our good friends at the North,

character Of the man, whom his country
have delighted, and will again delight TO

The following sketch from his history
will convince every unprejudiced mind Of
his settled aversion to slavery. MIR. Clay,
when about twenty years of age, removed
from his native State 10 Lexington, Ky;
there, an orphan boy, he set up the prac-
tice of law. This was in the year 1897.
The same year that State was taking
measures to fame for herself, a new con-
stitution, and among o;her amendments
proposed, a respectable minority submit
ted for consideration, a plan for gradual
and safe abolition of slavery. Their pro-
posed object, says his blographer, "at
once enlisted the most ardent sympathies
Of Mr.. CIoy's, and by all the means with
in his reach, through the public press, and
in assemblies OF the people, his best pow
ers were exerted for its success. lie was

inquiry, whether among these monu-
ments of civilized industry, persevor-
ance, ingenuity, there is one Light
House ofthe Skies-one tower erected
on the bosom of the earth to enable the
keen-eyed observer Of the heavenly
vault, and the profound calculator of the
infinite series, to watch from night to
night, through the circling year, the
movements of the starry heavens, and
their unnumbered worlds, and report to
you and to all the civilized race of man,
the discoveries yet to be revealed to the
tireless and penetrating eye of human

try. Here-upon this spot, they have

For the execution of this purpose they

of Him in whose presence we all stand,

and upon all the uses to which it will be
devoted--upon the observators and 9TH

to which they belong, and finally upon

REPOR IT:

r e 0 Il T.:
The Committee on Tonnage g. business
report that they can only estimate the
amount of freight TO and from Boston on
some Of the leading articles Of transporta-
lion, without taking into consideration the
great increase which may be reasonably
anticipated, fro n the increased facilities of
Rail Road communication nor can they
form any just estimate of the amount Of
tonnage from other towns in the vicinity, of
which Brandon would become the natural
depot. 1t will be safe, however, 10 conclude
that all the Wool, in this range of towns,
amounting TO some 200 ions, would go over
the proposed railroad, leaving the very
shores of Lake Champiain, TO find cheap
er, safer, and more expeditions route to the
Eastern markets than can now be found by
water. Much of the Wool grown in this
extensive Wool region is carried over land
TO the different towns in Massachusetts.
After careful investigation OF the sub
ject this Committee find that in upward
freight, the estimated average for past years,
not including Coal or Plaster, is $50 tons.
