FRIEND JOHNSON: Believeing it never too
late to do good, we at this late hour respond
toyour inquiry, assuring you that the propo-
sition to hold a Young Peoples Convention
meets our cordial appreciation. The Slaves
redemption and elevation is not The work of
a day, but must engage the attention Of the
philanthropfst for at least the next half CEN
fury. Those who have awakened our young
minds, animated our tender spirits, and led
us on 10 battle against tyranny, will soon
leave us and we will be called 10 fill the
places of our illustrious predecessors! Shall
we be prepared 10 fill those important posi-
tions and carry on, efficiently, this great re-
form Of the Nineteenth Cen,ury4
A convention Of The kind proposed would
do much towards e~ffecting this desirable OBJ
iect. We. the younger class, accustomed to
look up TO the older for instruction., have in
previous Conventions depended upon them TO
transact most Of the business and 10 do the
talking. That we have been instructed by
them and owe our present position in the Anti
Slavery ranks 10 their efforts, we gratefully
acknowledge. Bot our talents are yet, in a
measure latent. We do not even know our
OWL strength. In such a Convention all the
responsible business as well as speech max
ing would devolve upon them, which would
at once call out their energy and ingenuity (;
and give them a ~foretaste as well as expert
ence of the work which they will, have TO
perform in after days. AS 10 the time and
place lot-meeting, we sugges, Columbian.
Our next preference Berlin time 2sIh, Goth
and 30lh OF Sept.
We hope that all who feel an interest in
the cause will endeavor to be present, and
that each individual will feel called upon TO
do all in his or her power, 10 make the meet
ing interesting and profitable.

Friend Johnson We are truly glad Of the
prospect of a Young Men and Women's Con-
v~ention. We believe such a Convention
would be a great auxiliary to the cause of
humanity. The great duty we owe TO our
toil-worn brother demands every exertion and
every sacrifice that will have a tendency 10
shorten the slaves suffering. How necessa-
ry then, we think it, 10 have such Conven-
ton that we may have the minds of the youth
more directly engaged in the noble work Of
the slaves redemption. Once more let the
rallying cry 60 forth from the young Adolf
l~ionists of Ohio-"No Union with Slave
holders" and let the response be echoed
from the youth of the other (so-called) Free
States. Let that be the watch-word Of the
young men and women Of our country, and
we think it will speak in such thunde r tones
10 the hearts of the Shareholders as will make
them quail for their peculiar Institutions
On the youth rest our hopes ofmoral and po-
litical salvation. How necessary, nay how
importantit is, that the minds of the Young
Men Of our country should have a right di-
r%eciion, that they may prove recreanl 10 the
wishes ofihe Shareholder.
We would propose holding said Conven-
ton at Salem, believing it to be the most
central and convenient place. The first of
October we think would be the most conven.
lent time for holding the Convention. Some
have proposed the FIRST Of September. We
cannot think that would be a good time, as
there will be many engaged in seeding that
would be pleased to attend. Hence we be.
lieve the first Of October will give farmers a
chance to do up their work SO as to attend.

Hon. Isaac P. Walker, u. S. Senator from

not now vote for his own amendment OF
