49, Nessrs. Biitors THE Ladies' of the Anti
slavery Sewing Circle have resolved to hold n
saio Tor the benefit Of that Society in scn,e,,
bcr next and would ask the assistance of ali
friends OF the cause to forward their object bv
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 10 be am
ti-slavery, IL has been with some hesitation
that this sale has been undertaken, as, owing to
tho difficulties Of opinion as TO the mode Of ac-
ton on this subject, many Of our waymest
friends think we cannot succeed. But we all
spend money; and IL those who do feel, will
bear il in mind, and refrain from expending
their money on different objects, zoo skaH do
tcoU.
II tho friends of tho country will knit and
send TO US somo dozens of mems yarn socks
suspcndors, mittens, &c.. and those In the CITY
and vicinity will delay supplying themselves
for the winter, till they have examined ours, u
will be tho same as money 10 us. Many Of the
friends have farms, whose produce would be as
acceptable as money, If those in the city viii
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 a political, but moral and reli-
gious movement--the object Of our Society be.
ing to assist with clothing the destitute and OPP
pressed colored people; but more especially, as
our means shall admit, to lay before tho COM
munity by lectures and the press, the sin and
evil OF slavery, and by all peaceful means to
labor TO abolish Il. 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 VIC know
the most fastidious will be satisfied that our
course is a correct one. All trades and callings
can help US IL they will. Lot the saddler send
| us some carpet bags or small trunks; the tailor,
| handsome vest or two the shoe dealer, chill
