FIRST ABOLITION MEETING.

We have recently had an interview with per-
son who was present at the first abolition meeting
ever held in the United States 1t took place III
the township Of Woodbridge, County OF Middle
sex n J. on the 18th of July, 1883, beng inc IltSt
wear of the anniversary of our independence, after
the close of the revolutionary war Great prepa-
rations had been made-an OK was roasted, ana
an immense number had assembled on the memo
rabe occasion. A platform was erected just a.
bove the heads of the spectators, and at Il given
signal Dr. Bloomfield father Of the late Gov
ernor Bloomfield Of this State, mounted the plat
form, followed by his fourteen slaves, male ana
female, seven taking their stations on his rSht
hand and seven on his left Being thus arranged,
he advanced somewhat in front of his slaves and
addressed the multitude Oh ihe subject of slavery
and its evils, and in conclusion, pointing to those
| on his right and left, "'As natlon," SAID he, 1--WE
are free and independently men are created c.
dual, and why should these, my fellow citizens,
nv equals he held in bondage? From this day they
are emancipated, and here declare them free aud
absolved from all servtude to me or my posterIty.
Then calling IN before him one somewhat advance
ed IN wears. 9. Hector" says the doctor, " when
ever YOU become too old or iniirm to support your
self, YOU are entitled to your maintenance from
me or my property. How long do you suppose II
will be before YOU will require that maintenance!
Hector held up his left hand, and with his right
drew line across the middle joints OF his fingers
saying, Never, never, massa, so long as any o.
these fingers remain below these joints" liner
turning towards the audience, the doctor remark
ed, "There, citizens, you see that liberty Is s., ~
dear to the man of color as to you or me- lh'
air now rung with shouts of applause and thus tn
scene ended.
DR.. Bloomfield Immediately procured for Hec

farm until the day of his death, and it was com

For The Freeman
Fourth Congressional District,

Mr.. EDIroR:-I noticed an article in the
Watchman of the 18th inst, under the editorial
head. in these memorable Words
"Arouse, ye wings, to your duty Wings OF
the 4th district, you have defeated Dillingham;;
but you must not stop here, you must elect Chand-
ler."
Now let us examine this bold statement of our
friend. Chandler lacks COG votes of an election,
setting the abolition vote out of the question. -
Now, what are the relative positions of these two
men? They both profess unblemished moral
characters-boh are members Of churches-both
belong to the old abolition society of this State
both have given as little money as possible to the
anti-savery -enterprze-and, save appearances,
both have prayed family for slavery to be done a
way in Gods own time; and both go zeaously fol
selecting Shareholders to the presidency. One has
good acquired education; the other, strong nau
raj abilities. Friend Walton, in his zeal, has no
mentioned the abotionists but it strikes me tina
we who 90 the Liberty Ticket had better give
strong pull, and pull all together, for Georg
Putnam, who votes as he prays and lacks nothing
on the score of sound sense which the others pos
; sess. HOPE DON'T lNTRUDE.

SUCCESS


Wikba contemptuous sneor, our opposers often
asls feF IN your laborous efforts, what have
ya9 scsnpashed? You have not succeeded in
eleciss8 Senator or one member Of Congress-;
You have in fact thrown away your votes, and met
witEsan entire failure thus far Why make an
other attempt?-you cannot certainly expect to
succeed this year, and for this once you had better
abandon your position, and go with party where
there is fair prospect of success, as there are
questions of great interest to be disposed Of But
before apyfpiend of freedom refuses to act with
the Liberty Party because it cannot succeed this
year, ii aay be we'll to stop and inquire, What as
success? rs Tito boast Of majoritcs, and splendid
victories opposing parties? Is it to be ever
lastngly contending about questions of dollars and
cents, without having anything permanent and set
tied; one party gaining the ascednancy by the de-
lnuuencies of the othev, and after setting on foot
train of measures, falls by its own; the other
party then taking the reins of government, des-
troys all that has been done, and attempts to es-
tabsh principles of its own-thus keeping con-
tinual see-saw operation going on, destructive TO
everything permanent and valuable? Is it by be-
that might make devils blush?' Is it for one par
ty to beat another, when neither is based upor
moral principle, or has any 'aim or design at the
removal of any moral evil, or the establishment o
the great principles of justice and freedom! Does
success consist in trampling upon the rights an'
liberties of three millions of our countrymen-tht
subyersion of the interests and welfare OF ou
whole land, and the elevation of tyrants anu op
pressors to the highest Offices in the gift OF the ma
ton, who can plant their feet upon the necks o
their brethren and crush them into chattels an
brutes-for the purpose of trying to settle som
paltry Bank or Tariff questions, about winch DOT
parties have been quarreling for more than thlrt
wears? If this is success then have the efforts c
both parties, at different times, been crowned wit
wonderful triumphant success-and one OF I'll
narties at the next Presidential election may eA
pect success of this kind, more glorious than hi
vet been witnessed in this country. Some ma
consider such success worthy ofthe most strenuo'
efforts, and of the sacrifice of all moral principl
But success which costs the sacrifice of prncipl
is infinitely worse than defeat IN righteous caus
To understand the beauty and power OF Il
word success, it is necessary to look at the end
exstence-the business Of life-whlch is, to Tor
a character on the basis Of the principles emboui
in human nature. In proportion as we pecol

with worms, when some other cause has been sup

could have been eradicated in day, by the use of
bottle of kOLMSTOCK'S VERMIFUGE, at
the cost OF quarter of a dollar.
How sickening the thought that these things
should be-and who can ever forgv themselves
for not trying this Worm Exterminator when they
kH0lc that even il the case not worms, this re-
medy could not by any possibility do hurt--but al
ways good as purgative-let the disease be what

selves this que stion in truth and soberness
Mr. J. c. Ringold had child very sick for near
two weeks, and attended by physician, without
relief, when Komstock's Vermifuge was given,
and next day more than forty worms were passed,
when the child recovered rapidly.
