WESTERN ANTI-SIAvERY FAIR.

The result Of the effort made last year by
the Abolitionists of the West, to hold an An
ti-Slavery Fair, was abundantly gratifying;
and fully demonstrated the practicability and
usefulness o: the plan. The Call was prompt
ly responded to by many, the avails Of whose
labor greatly aided the Western Anti-Slavery
Society, and enabled it to prosecute its work
with renewed vigor The exigencies OF the
cause demand as much sacrifice and effort
now as were needed then. The victory OF
Freedom is not yet won-the clank OF tie
bondman's letters has not vet ceased-Amsr.
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
its iniquity, nor the State redeemed from its
degradation. We therefore, friends of the
Slave, appeal to you again-we appeal to
your love OF Liberty-to your reverence for
the Eternal principles of Right; and ask you
to bring this year another offering that NAV
be used for the dissemination of Anti Slavery
Truth - for the increase oil Anti-Slayery
knowledge.
No i%nconsid cradle portion of The donations
