THE CAMPAIGN IN THE WEST.

The grand effort for preaching tho antislavery
gospel in the West, has already commenced its
successful operation. Mr. Pillsbury, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Grifhng left last week. They will perhaps
spend some two or three weeks in Ohio, ON their
way to Indiana. Mr.. and Mrs. Foster, and J. W.
Walker, expected to arrive in Adrian, Michigan
on Thursday of this week, and Immediately com
monco their labors. Mr.. Selby is in w. Pcnnsyl-
vania, whore he will probably be joined by an as
sistant-whose name with those Of other agents,
we hope to announce as in the field, within very
short time. Ohio will not be neglected.
This grand project Of onti-slavcry labor is going
forward. How long it shall continue-how far 1t
shall extend itself-how thorough its work shall be,
will depend upon the liberal aid and cooperation
Of the abolitionists. Thousands of ears are now
opened, and thousands of hearts ready to-
receive the truth. Tho more extensive and thor
ough our effort now, the greater the economy inl
labor and money. Why should the work drag
listlessly on Let us all come to it with n ygor
and enterprise, worthy of co-operators with the
liberal individuals who originated the project
Our Treasurer and our agents will be glad to re-
ceivc your contributions. The anti-sloyery men
and women of every town should do something
should do according to their ability, and the mag
nitude and Importance Of the work. The subject
was presented at New Lyme last Sunday, and a.
good beginning made. Let the example be imi-
tatcd
Pledges or contributions may be made to our
agents, or sent to JoEL Mcmillan, Treasurer of
the Western Anti-Slavery Society, Salem. The
pledges made at New Lyme made payable in
three months. 1t would be well that others should
be made similarly, as the autumn is the favorable
time for labor.
The Executive Committee of the American Anti
Slavery Society have issued the following appeal
in regard to the enterprise. 1t is the combined
effort of ant.slaycry men and women, Fast and
West, for one common object, the regeneration of
the nation--thc freedom of the slave. Come for
ward then, every abotionist and give hand to
the work.
TO TIE ADoLITIONISTS OF TIE UNITED
i STATES.
Tho Executive Committee of the American Anti
Slavery Society appeal to all its members and
friends in every part of the Union for aid to sus
tain their operations during the coming Autumn
and Winter.
The field of our action Is continually charging.
The demand for the faithful preaching Of Anti
Slavery principles is greater than can meet
From Maine to Wisconsin, the call for those who
can speak the words which will first awaken, and
then purify and heal, this guilty land, is earnest
and loud. What we can do, to answer this call,
shall be done. We need not say that our ability,
in this respect, will be in proportion to the self
sacrificing contributions of the individual members
of the Society, and friends of the cause.
|, The Committee have already commenced opera
tons for the season, in the Western States Three
of our ruest friends and ablcst speakers have al
ready gone into that Aeld-viz.: Parker Pillsbury,
: stephen S. Foster, and Abby X. Foster. Mr..
Harrison is contemplating visit to Central New
: York, and to Michigan. Others will prcccde OF
follow him. and, joiningwth the speakers resident
Mt the West, will, hope, by the first of October
, together constitute the largest and strongest corps
r of Anti.Slavery labourers, which has been in the
= field for many years.
To carry on the work moro particularly in the
State of New York, and the States west Of it, Il
generous friend of tho in Boston has already
pledged the sum of One Thousand Dollars. With
this encouraging beginning VIC appeal with the
more confidence to our friends to conc forward

is the truth-and the truth alonc-which shal
make this people free Fettcred by no sect or par

. We address ourselves to every Auxiliary Societ,
o to every Anti-Slavery neighbourhood- every
c true mind and heart. We have been blamed, by
i some Of our friends, for so seldom calling upon the
, Abolitionists of the country for pecuniary aid
. Certainly we have not pressed them with frequent
n demands. We have preferred to think that thu
eminent importance and sacredness Of our cause
y would make all its friends prompt and unsolicited

demand of us greater efforts than we have ever pu
