Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-07-27
Benevolent Fair at Cincinnati.

Messrs. Editors The Ladies Of tho Anti
Slavery Sewing Circle have resolved to hold n
sale for the bcncft of that Society in Septcm-
bcr next and would ask the assistance OF all
friends of the cause to forward their object, by
such donations Of money, goods; or produce OF
any kind, which may be converted into money,
| as they may find it convenient to spare. AL
| though the whole community profess to be an-
| ti-slavcry, it has becn with somc hesitation
that this sale has been undertaken, as, owing TO
the difficulties Of opinion as to the mode of &C
ton on this subject, many of our warmest
friends think VIC cannot succeed. But we all
spend money; and if those who do feel, will
bear it in mind, and refrain from oxpending
their money on different objects, ue shall do
| toeH.
If the friends Of the country will knit and
send to US some dozens of mems yarn socks,
suspenders, mittens, &c., ana those in the city
and vicinity will delay supplying themselves
for the winter, till they have examined ours, is
| will be the same as money 10 us. Many of tho
friends have farms, whose produce would be at
acceptable as money, If those in the city will
give us their support by buying of us instead Of
strangers. This is done in all the Eastern cities
at these Fairs, and in this way all work togeth-
or for this sacred cause.
Ours is not political, but moral and reli-
gious movcment-thc object of our Society be-
ing to assist with clothing the destitute and OPP
pressed colored people; but moro especially, as
our means shall admit, to lay before the COM
munity by lectures and the press, the sin and
evil OF slavery, and by all peaceful means to
labor to abolish it. We have felt the objections
usually brought against Fairs by all conscien-
tious people, and shall avoid them by allowing
no rafting, selling nothing on commission, and
having fair return of change; and we know
the most fastidious will be satisfied that our
course is correct one. All trades and callings
can help us if they will. Let the saddler send
us some carpet bags or small trunks; the tailor,
handsome vest or two the shoe dealer, chill
drens little shoes, or gents slippers the mcr-
chant, silk or neck handkerchief or pound OF
sewing silk, the stationcr, books or stationery,
and the china dealer children's tea sets or some-
thing in their line; the cooper, tubs and buck
cts the cutler, pen knives and scissors the
brush maker, hair or horse brushes Of any kind

ter many days.
