dag has been unfurled-the echo Of Freedoms song
has fallen upon her ear, she has caught up The notes
and her BugIe is even now sounding throughout the
land. Shall it be said that the Buckeye State is con.

enterprise? God forbid! Let those of US who pro-

that our love for it is cot an empty name. The Ex
Committee have assumed a great responsibility in
he establishment of their paper, and have incurred
a very considerable expense. They need prompt and
liberal contributions 10 sustain them, and would be
glad if all The friends of the cause would give as
God has blessed them in their means. Ii you can
spare but twenty-five cents, give lift fifty, contrib.

has at this time no lecturing agents. Is Old organi

that there are none to do it reverence?" Can it moi
sustain one paper, and send out agents as the Liberty
Party has done, and is doing? We answer IN the
affirmative, and our YES, is recorded with n heart full
of hope. We know that it can be done, and we lrus,
it 1riH be.

Our object is a glorious one; it is the overthrow

Declaration of Sentiments issued in '33 by the found

Friend, whoever you ale who reads this, if not al
ready a subscriber will you not give in your name
for our paper, and say to your acquaintance, "Come
and do l,kewise?" And we ask of you all whether
subscribers or non subscribers--we ask you to do

sheet, and PROMPTLY to make contributions to the
funds of our society. 1t is said "a word to the wise
is sufficient,"-le not the benevolent, let not The pro-
fessed abolitionisl require more: but if you believe
we leach The right doctrine, or if you wish to enquire
whether we are true or false prophets, give us your
aid. If you are not man enough to bear the strong
meat Of our principles-if you have not sufficient
moral strength to lead you to desire to climb to the
highest visible point of true aboliIionism-if you are
