WESTERN ANTE-SLAVERY FAIR.

The result of the effort made last year by
tho Aboliiionists of the West, 10 hold an An
ti-Slavery Fair, was abundantly gratifying;
and fully demonstrated the praciicabiliiy and
usefulness o: the plan. The Call was prompt
10 responded TO by many, the awaits OF whose
Lbor greatly aided the Western Anti-Slavery
Socieiy. and enabled il to prosecute its work
with renewed vigor The exigencies Of the
cause demand as much sacrifice and effort
pov as were needed then. The victory OF
Freedom is not yet won the clank OF the
bondman's letters has not yet ceased-Amei-
lean women are still chattelized and imbruted.
The blighting influence that slavery has ex-
tended over the South and over the North,
still exists-the Church is not yet purified OF
i,s iniouity. nor the State redeemed from its
DEGRADATION. We therefore, friends of the
Slave. appeal to you again-we appeal tn
your love of Llberty-to your reverence for
the Eternal principles of Right; and ask you
to bring this year another Offering that may
he used for the dissemination of ~Anti-Slavery
Truth for the increase Of ~Antl-SlaveTy
knowledge.
No inconsiderable portion of the donations
at last years Fair, was derived from the Far
mer. the Mechanic, the Merchant and the
NanuCacturer-will they not be as generous
now as then, aud each give u~ngrudgingly and
literally that which he has to bestow Ar
ticles that cannot readily be transported TO the
Fair, NAV, with a little effort, be converted
into money, or exchanged for goods that can
he carried. Those who wish TO aid in this
work, need not be at a loss how to labor
Where Sewing Circles are not already In
operation, may we not confidently hope they
will speedily be organized, that their varied
gilts of beautiful and fancy articles may not
r be wanting
The special object Of the proposed Fair is
TO aid the Western Anti-Siavery Society; and
all funds there received will be placed in its
Treasury--no goods are solicited, and none
will be sold for the benefit of any other OBJ
f ject. Those who are willing TO assist this
r Society in sustaining its various agencies fol
promoting Anti-Slavery agitation, for hasten
lnr the redemption of the enslaved, are ear
nestly invited to Join us. We labor not fol-
the advancement of any political party-fol
} the furtherance of any measures that invoke
the aid of brute force. 1t is by the strength
of moral power we would tear down the
strong holds Of oppression-itis by establish
inc righteous principles we would secure fol
all an inheritance of Freedom. If you who
:, profess to be the friends of the Slave, are
really with us in this contest betweenT ruii
= and ErroI-between Slavery and Liberty
we shall expect your cordial cooperation.
r The Fair will be held at the time and place
: of the next Annual Meeting.
