WESTERN ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR.

1t is proposed to hold a Fair, to aid the
cause OF emancipation, at the time and place
of the next Anniversary Of the Western An
u-Slavery Society and the object of this
Circular is to invite all, 10 assist in prepar-
ing for that occasion, who are the foes of OPP
pression-who desire that our country shall
be redeemed from the rule of iyrdnts-who
wish TO break the yoke of the captive, and to
repel the aggreSsions which slavery is ml-
king upon our own rights. Whether the
contributions shall be worthy Of the cause-
worthy the high professions Of those who
stand forth as the friends Of liberty, may
greatly depend, reader, upon your efforts
Are you willing to contribute Of your abund-
ance or your penury ! are you willing TO slim
ulate others to good works, and unite with
them TO bring your nelghboThood offering,
and lay II upon The altar Of humanity! 1t
you have neither silver nor gold, are you
willing to consecTatc a portion Of what you do
possess to this causel Let the farmer and his
wife bring grain and wool, brooms and bask-
cts, cloth and other manufactured articles
let the dairyInaid come with her cheese and
butter, and the miller with his lour-let the
halter and timer, the sadJler and shoemaker
present such noedful things as their several
handicrafts can furnish-let the merchant
contribute literally Of his stock, and those
who are skilIful with the needle bring such
useful and fancy articles as their ingenuity
may devise.
The proceeds of this Fair will be appro-
priated to tie support of the Anti-Slavery
movement in the West, either by placing
them al the disposal of the Western Anti
Slavery Society or applying them by direc-
ton of the donors TO some branch Of this re-
form in harmony with the views of that So
ciety.
The cause for which we ask you to labor
is one which is fraught with the deepest in
terest 10 millions of our race-it meets with
favor f:om the ~viTtuous and the good, and is
approved by the Father of the oppresscd.-
We aflectionately invite you to share the toll
and the reward of this work-we appeal 10
you in the name of MAN, robbed and outra-
ged-we ask you 10 be true to the instincts
of your better nature, and to prove by your
actions that you appreciate the blessings Of
liberty and the Safeguards of virtue.
