To the Members Of the Western Anti-SlaVery
Society.

DEAR FRIENDS: SEQ by tho Homestead
Journal Of to-day that the Executive Committee
have decided to hold the Anniversary Meeting
in Salem, commencing on the 10th of Sept. /;
and as l have changed my opinion somewhat
in relation to the course Anti-Slavery advocates
should pursue, deem it right to state publicly,
the rules which will be adopted at our house
during the time of that meeting.
We can stable about 10 or IL Horses, and
accommodate, (after fashion which ought to
satisfy Abohtionists,) some % to SO persons.
We will employ person whose business it
shall be TO sec that the horses arc well hayed
and watered, for ~ l-2 cts. per day, per horse
each owner finding his own Oats. We will
charge persons who see proper to stop with us
80 cts per day, for eating and sleeping; for cat
ing alone, 10 cts. per meal; and appropriate
the whole proceeds in the following manner
one half to those who arc laboring to promot
the Anti-Slavery cause by talking and publish
ing; and the other half to those who are labor
ing for the same end by means of voting AM
land limitation.
Can you object to this course, when it /
claimed that yt.9 and free discussion is what i
going to do tho work. 4. X. SMITH.

Cholera. Other diseases.

The epidemic is greatly declining, and during
the coming month will doubtless, as in last
year, leave us altogether. The Census is now
being taken at very unfortunate time for our
City. At no other time in the year arc so many
of our citizens absent, and owing to largo
number having left in the last two months for
health and recreation, or from fear of the Cho-
lcra, our population will appear in the returns
from 10 to 20 thousand less than it ought to be.
The solemnities to be observed on account Of
the death of President Taylor have been post
poned until the first Tuesday in August. 1t is
not designed to have an imposing funeral pro-
cession as has been usual on such occasions; ;
there are, instead, to be services in the various
Churches in the morning, and in the evening,
at the Wesley Chapel, an Grafton, an original
ode, hymn, and other appropriate exercises
The bells of the City to be tollcd, and all places
of business and public institutions to be closed.
