JEFFERSON, Sept. 6, ls49.

H"cE 1NI' ~
Ny Dear Sir: l tender you thanks for the
kind invitation rendered me to attend the
Convention of Young Men and Women to
be held i'll Berlin on the 21st inst. / regret
to say that prior engagements will deprive
me of the pleasure of being with you on that
occasion. That we differ i'm regard to the
measures most like to attain the speedy tri-
umph of our object, the relief of the oppress-
ed and the elevation of our race, is most true.
But that difference renders me at all times
more anxious to meet and compare views
with you on the subject which now absorbs
the public mind.
While i regard you as a fellow-laborer in
the great field of philanthropy, l am not per-
mitted TO dictate the manner i'm which YOU
shall perform your work. My salutation
shall rather be, work on, and work euer,"
until u labor shall be accomplished, and
we be permitted to retire TO our rest.
The points of difference between us in
crease my desire to be at your meeting; an
interchange of sentiment might encourage
and strengthen us, and prove mutually bene-
fetal.
Ii gives me great pleasure to assure YOU
that the Cause of Humanity is progressing
with a rapidity hitherto unknown among MS.
Please accept for yourself and Committee
the assurance of my high regard.
Yours, for the oppressed.

est secured by abolishing the Union, let it go.
No political advantage can compare with the
blessing of freedom. ] entertain no fear of
being identified with your objects and aims /;
| might get into far worse company, and if
thought more could be accomplished for hui
manity by laboring with the Disunionists, !
would be with them. They are the advance
guard of Liberty's army, and the Great Com
mander appears to have assigned my place
in the rear. / shall do what little ] can here,
If that should only be to bring water to those
at work, while to you who are in active SER
vice ! say, Work on in hope of a peaceful
emancipation, if you can. The West India

possibly ours may be; but for many years ]
have expected a closing scene of blood.

Ny Dear Friend: Returning, a few days
ago, from a tour of Anti-Slavery duty, /
found, awaiting me at home, your letter of
the 24th ult., inviting me, in the name of the
COMMITTEE of Arrangements, to attend the
Anti-Slavery Convention of the Young Men
and Women of Ohio. ] fully intended to an
swer it in time for my reply to reach you be-
fore the rising of the Convention, but in the
variety of other duties which claimed atom
ton first, land the more for the absence from
which | had just returned,) the lapse of time
was well-nigh forgotten, till the sight of your
still Unanswered letter reminded me of my
purpose, when it was already too late to ac-
complish it.
heartily regret this, for / was very desi-
rous to be represented, at least, in your Con-
~yention, since | could not attend it i'm person.
Io he personally present, if that had been
consistent with my duties elsewhere, would
have pleased me much better; but that was
impossible. And now,-l am truly sorry to
have to say it, have allowed myself to
lose the privilege, which ,Ons in my power,
OF being with you in my written word of
sympathy and cheer; for to-day you gather,
and before this can traverse the space be-,
tween us, you will have dispersed again.
But this thought consoles me for my loss
that neither my bodily presence nor my
written word was needed to animate your
gathering with a fervent zeal and a determin-
ed spirit, in behalf of the cause which sum
mons you together; or to aid you with coun-
sci IN regard to the fttest means TO be en-
ployed for its promotion. l know the char
acter of Ohio ~Anti-Slavery, and particularly
OF the Anti-Slavery of the Young Men and
Women OF Ohio, TOO well to doubt that your
Convention will be a noble gathering of true
hearts; and that its proceedings will be at
once deeply interesting, and productive of
much good to the cause of The oppressed. l
remember, with lively pleasure, my own ex-
perience at different periods within the last
ten years or more, as a laborer in that part
of the field of An i-Slavery toll and can tes.
tify with a grateful heart to the abundant
kindness and hospitality and warm sympathy

should be indeed a Land of Liberty, and an
ASYLUM for all the oppressed, no matter in
what language their doom might have been
pronounced, or what complexion incompati-
bic with freedom m Indian or an African
sun might nave burned upon them. Pros
perity and Plenty should sit smiling in our
midst, Peace should wave her white banner
above us, and Joy and Gladness crown us for
ever.
But even should none of these millennial
glories attend such a triumph of Justice, still
the duty of separation is not the less imperi-
ous. What though the day which saw our
deep repentance should also witness all the
woes that cowardice and cupidity have ever
predicted? Still the voice of the Omnipo-
tent, louder than all the thunders of heaven,
demands that our covenant with death be
~disannulled, that our agreement with hell be
abolished.
What though it should baptize the South
deep in blood-what though smoking towns
and desolated plantations should robe her in
n pail black as the midnight of despair, still
from Natures depths and the deep heart OF
God, the command is, " Fiat j%uStitiu, ruat CO..
Ium"-be Justice lone though the heavens
fall.
What are States and Nations when oppo-
sed to the triumphs of Justice? Let them
perish. Better far were il, than that Slavery
should endure, if enterprise and industry
were palsied forever, and national prosperity
numbered with things that are no more-bet-
ter that wrap itself in its W
ehrouds and hide in the deepest caverns OF
the Ocean-better that all thrones and do
minions perish together-rather let kings
turn suicides and queens be mad, and dizzy
empires go Keeling to the ground-as soon
lot Col and oil Natttra riya I'm the UhOSt. LET
Justice be done and Righteousness prevail,
though it bury every continent in the Uni
verse in u~ndistinguished ruin.
Young Men and Women of Ohio such
are the demands of the passing age upon
you. Shall they be nobly and heroically
met? 1t is a glorious warfare we are called
10 wage. Ii is Truth and Humanity, Justice
and Liberty, on the one side, and Oppression
and Tyranny, bloody with guilt and hoary
with age, on the other and our weapons are
all stored in the %arsenals of heaven.
Shall we grid on the celestial panoply P
Thus armed, who can withstand us? If bold
and faithful, if honest and true to our high
trust, one of us shall indeed chase a thous-
and, and two put ten thousand to flight.
Then let us arise and go forth to the con-
flict. We may not all live TO see the con-
summation of our high hopes, but the reward
of the faithful is sure. Tyranny may tri-
umph for an hour, but as the Lord God OF
Heaven liveth, no weapon that is formed
against us shall long be suffered to prosper.

Dear Fiend-Thine of the Oath is before
me. | am glad you are getting up a Conven-
ton for the Young People. Anew generation
has grown up since one was held in this part
of the country, and | Judge it is so with you.
We old folks must not presume to do all the
work. 1t is absorbing too much of the really
good things of this world for us to stand in
the way of those younger. ] consider il a
privilege to work in the Anti-Slavery field.
What a blessing it has been to many of us /;
indeed to all who have gone into it from a
love to man.
How | would like just to see the folks of
your region! Do you know ! have always
pictured them as looking and working up
ward? l should like to see if it is so, but |
cannot possibly leave. You have my best
wishes. Very truly,
