NEW YoRK, May 3D., 1851.
WM LLOYD GBRRIsoN-Dear Sir: While
in the wisdom of the Executive
Committee ofiho American Anti-Slayery So
ciety in deciding to hold their seventeenth
Anniversary at Syracuse the present year,
still, as u resident of New York, | feel asham-
ed that in this great city no place can be
found for the uncompromising advocate Of
Freedom.
Should the stakeholder or his abettor choose
to descunt on the beauties of Slavery there
would he no lack of place or opportunity
Should he even propose te reduce 10 practice
his beautiful system, | doubt not lIe would
have II gracious hearing; but for the system
to be assailed with the whole armory of truth
and with the earnestness of conviction, is
quite another thing. Well, let this great city
remain under the care of the Union Safety
Commiltee,' on the one hand aud Captain
Rynders on the other, till their own infamy,
il nothing else, shall make them ashamed.
am thankful that she is surrounded by a
country TO which she cannot give law, even
in her own State; and admire the wisdom
of falling back upon the yeomanry of the
country in this time Of our country's peril
and OF bringing forward "A power, now lying
almost dormant, to Pct not only against the
system of Slavery, but to show to degener
ate people that however false 10 the spirit o
liberty tho denizens of commercial city
may be, yet there are millions in the country
whose hearts beat trae TO it.
But my main object in troubling you witt
this communication is, to propose througl
you to the friends Of the slave, that, in con
sideration of the crisis that the Slave Powe
has brought upon us and the urgent nccessi
ty for meeting it manihlly, those of us havin,
the ability TO do it, just double our donation.
10 the American Anti-Slavery Society, will
the understanding that they bring into TN
field the best consecratcd talent they cal
command.
know it is but little comparatively tha
VIC whose time is occupied in business cal
do, but while our brethern, more favored
than we, are pleading the cause Of the dunn
let us who can, show by our works that w
appreciate their labors and are willing Il
strengthen their hands. Though in humbl
circumstances, ye, having ability to labor al,
favored with small means, in view of tn
perls with which wo are surrounded and tn
necessity of the most rigorous action, | pro
pose to place at the disposal of the American
Ant-Savery Society during the present yea
two hundred dollars payable quarterly in fit
dollars each, and If that champion of free
dom, George Thomson, will consent to labo
for the slave in this country during the pre-
sent year then propose TO pay one hundre
dollars towards furnishing him with sutG
bic salary for his eminent services, an
should he consent 10 labor but part Of a yea
then 10 pay in the same proportion.
Yours, truly,
LAUREN WErMoRE.
