WESTERN ANTI-SLAyERY FAIR.

The result OF the effort made last year by
The AbOliiionists OF the West, 10 hold an An
ti-SIavety Fair, was abundanily gratifying;
and fully demonstrated the practicability and
usefulness n. the plan. The Call was prompt
w responded 10 bY many, the availS of whose
labor greatly aided the Western Aaii-Slavery
Society, and enabled IL 10 prosecute its work
with renewed Sigof. The eXigencies of the
cause demand as mach sacrifice and ehors
now as were needed then. The victory OF
Freedom ~ not vet won the clank Of tbs
bond ieiteTs has not yet ceased-AmeT-
lean women are still chatielized and imbfuted.
The blighiing influence that slavery has ex-
tended ovef tbs South aitl ovei the North,
still exists-iiU Church IS not yet purified OF
its %lniquity, ntr the State redeemed from its
degradation. We therefore. friends Of the
Slave. appeal to- you again-we appeal TO
your love of Libetiy-iO J our reverence foJ
the Eternal principles Of Right and ask You
10 bring this year another oifeIisg that may
be used for the dissemination Of ~AHti-SlaveTy
Truth for the increase Of Anti Slavery
knowledge.
NO lnconsiderHble portion Of the Donations
at last years Fair, was derived from the Far
lner, the Mechanic, the Merchant and the
Manufacture!-will they not be as generous
now as then, and each give ungtudgingly and
literally that which he has TO bestow At
ticIes that cannot readily be transported TO the
Fair, may, 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 al 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
gifts Of beautiful and fancy articles may not
be wanting
The special object Of the proposed Fair is
to aid the Western Anti-Slavery Society; and
all funds there received will be placed in its
Treasuty-no goods are solicited, and none
will be sold for the benefit of any other OBJ
iect. Those who are willing to assist this
Society in sustaining its various agencies for
promoting ~Anti-Slavery agitation, for hasten
ing the redemption of the enslaved, are ear
nestly invited TO Join us. We labor not for
the advancement of any political party-for
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-iti is by establish
ing righteous principles we would secure for
all an Inheritance of Freedom. II you who
profess 10 be the friends of the Slave, are
really with us in this contest between Truth
and ErroG-between Slavery and Liberty
we shall expect your cordial cooperation.
The Fair will be held at the time and place
Of the next Annual Meeting.
