the delights Of home, 10 sacrifice the pleasures
of domestic life in order 10 labor more efTec-
tually for the captive's release, should be re-
ceivcd with no niggardly welcome. The la
borer is worthy Of his hire and it is due to
the cause Of humanity, that they who labor
for humanity's sake should not be required to
loave their families destitute. Let US not
then ask such to make sacrifices, which nei-
ther we nor you would be willing to make.
A theoretical opposition to slavery is worth
but little, unless accompanied by practical
evidences Of sincerity. We presume most of
you, if not all, believe that slavery is to be
destroyed by means Of ordinary agencies, by
doctrines promulged by the living speaker,
by truthful sentiments borne abroad upon the
wings. of The press, and by the true and con-
s;stent life of its opponents. The last mea-
sure each must carry out for himself-the
ether means you have appointed US TO attend
10 on your behalf; but unless funds are placed
in our hands for that purpose, we cannot ac-
tomplish the work. Subscriptions to a " Spe-
cial Western Agency Fund.- have been COM
menced, and we desire to impress upon you
the importance Of contributing to it of your
Substance. You need not fear that it will be
made too large. The more funds we have,
the more agents we can employ-the more
agents, the more seed will be scattered-the
more seed, the mo:o !ruit-tle greater the
change in public sentiment, the speedier will

JOY and happiness unspeakable to millions Of
hearts now crushed beneath its milestone
weight. There exists no political party,
scarcely a s~ectdrian organization, but what
receives from its members as much support as
is necessary to carry forward its operations.
Those of You who are, or who have been con-
nected with such organizations will bear wit
ness to the truth of this and shall it be said
that they who are engaged in a work incom-
parably greater than the building up of a po-
litical party, or the establishment ola religious
sect, are less gen 3rous in their offerings, and
less sacrificing in their deeds. We but ask
YOU to manifest rs much desire to sustain US
in the work you have appointed us to DO, as
do the supporters Of sect and party to sustain
their agents. If you regard the question of
human rights Of as much importance as the
politician regards that Of a Bank or a Tariff
if you esteem manhood as highly as does the
sectarian his rites and ceremonies, then will
your zeal be equal 10 theirs, and your faith
be made manifest by your works.
Though we address you collectively, we
appeal to you individually to do what you
can to sustain agents in the West. Let each
feel that upon him and upon hendevolves the
duty Of awakening public sentiment on the
question Of human rights. The General
Agent, Samuel Brooke. with other gents that
rnay be in the field, will solicit donations for
this purpose. But wait not to be called up

produce, whether they are large or small. Last
year it was impossible to raise much, so mea-
gre were our agricultural productions. But
this year we have promise Of a most album
dant harvest. Never was vegetation more
f1Ourishing almost every fruit tree is laden
with rich gifts-almost every field of grain
bids fair for a plentiful crop. And while Ma
ture is thus bountiful 10 us, while the Giver
of all good is placing these treasures in our
possession, shall not a portion of them, at
least, be used 10 redeem his image from the
thraldom Of the opprossor. When we look
npon our fields of waving grain, when we
contemplate our manufactures, our merchan-
disc, our stocks, let US not feel that these will
enable us TO lay up money in our Golfers, 10
live in better style, and move in a wealthier
circle, but let us rejoice that now we shall
have funds to put into the treasury of the
slave. If we are true abolilionists, how can
we enjoy wealth whilst our brother is groan-
ing under the heel Of the tyrant! If we are
true christians, how can we surround our
selves with the Injuries and elegancies of
fashionable life, while Jesus, our Savior, in
the person of his little ones, is hungering and
