Messs. Editors The Ladies Of the Anti
Slavery Sewing Circle have .Ecsolvcd to hold q
sale for the benefit of that Society in Septom-
Der 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 10 spare. Al
though the whole community profess to be an
u-slavery, it has been with some hesitation
that this sale has been undertaken, as, owing to
the difficulties Of opinion as to the mode of ac-
ton on this subject, many of our warmcst
friends think cannot succeed. But we all
spend money; and if those who do feel, will
bear it in mind, and refrain from cxpcnding
their money on different objects, acc shall do

If the friends of tho country will knit and
send to us some dozons of mems yarn socks,
susponders, mittens, &C., ana those in the city
and vicinity will delay supplying themselves
Tor the winter, till they have examined ours, il
will be the same as money TO us. Many Of tho
friends have farms, whose produce would be as
acceptable as money, II 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 togcth-
CT for this sacred cause.
Ours is not political, but moral and roli-
gious movemcnt-the object Of our Society be-
ing to assist with clothing the destitute and op-

munity by lectures and the press, the sin and
evil of slavery, and by all peaceful means to
labor TO abolish it. We havo felt the objections
usually brought against Fairs by all conscien-
tious people, and shall avoid them by allowing
no railing, selling nothing on commission, and
having fair return of change; and we know
the most fastidious will be satisfied that our
course is a correct one. All trades and callings
can help us if they will. Let tho saddlcr send
