"Be not ,ccary in aceu DOING f6r in die season ,re
shall reap il are faint not"
More than twenty years have passed since that
great champion of the slave first threw down the
gauntlet, saying II trH be heard ,rW not be 81
lent" Rut the cause in Which he then enlisted has
not yet triumped. Time has proved that the war
fare then commenced is no pastime-the enemy en-
encountered is no Insignificant one. So the battle
has progressed the foes of Freedom have come out
of their hiding places Church aud state, multpi-
! ing on every side, rs the battle cry soun-
ded in the various parts of our land.
/ "On right, on left, above, below,
''Sprang up at once the lurking foe:
Much has, indeed, been accomplished. Often
has the enemy been driven from his outposts, and
many of his munitions Of defeuce been taken and
destroydd while great Numbers have been Induced
to desert their former positions, and come and
enlist under the banner of right. But the strong
hold is not yet taken, and we may not yet lay down
our arms. Hold back now; and all that we have
gained will be irretrivably lost
! No, our work is not yet done. 1t may be that it
is just begun The fettcrs ofthe slave still cank in
our ears. The groans of the millions of our coury-
men in cruel bondage still waited to us on ey-
cry breeze. We cdnndt become weary and discou-
tinue our labors, or cease to call upon others to
come to our aid. And managers of the Westcrn
1Rti- -Stdreiy Bazaar, we again present this cause
before the tried friends of the slave, appealing for
their sympathy and their substantial aid. Encour-
aged by the growing interest that has been mani
tested in our annual Bazaar, and believing that it
has been an instrumentality of great good, we are
prepariug 10 hold atiother during the third week II,
October next.
Friends of the slave--haters of oppression-dis-
ciples of him who came to preach deliverance to
them that are bound, we again call upon you. 1t
depends upon you to say how much this effort shall
accomplish. If you are liberal in your labors-lib-
eral in your contributions and enter into the work
with carnestness and zeal such as the cause de-
mands, far more gratifying will be the results than
in any preceding year. Sympathy with the slave
has vastly deepened and widened among the people
of all classes. The various agencies that have
been in operation the last year. have unlocked the
door of many heart and unlOosed the strings of
many purse, and we may reasonably expect a
largely increased attendance at our Bazaar. We
must, then, be able to present display of the
| beautiful and the useful such as will make full
proof of this sympathy. Our tables must contain
so large a variety that please the eye, adorn the
body, and crafty the taste, that none can 90 away
with their purses full because there was nothing
they wished to purchase.
And we wish that articles Of real utility, such as
must be purchased somewhere by every family,
may prepouderate. There is hardly an article in
use but will be appropriate. IT'S not beautiful
specimens of ladies' haudiwork, or ornaments that
grace the parlor, alone, that should be here. Lei
the mechanic senu IN OF the work OF his hands,
/ All kinds of household utensils find ready sale.-
Let farmers send of the products of their farms
Fruits butter, cheese, and various kinds of veget
ables should be in our hall. Especially shall We
need cream, preserves, &C., for our Kefreshmen
table. BoQuets of flowers are always saleabe.-
Let the Manufacturer and Grocer send US sucl
things as are needed for the family store-coset,
soap, candles, tea coffee, sugar, spices, &c. Con
fectioners must not forget that dispose Of many
articles in their line. And to the dry goods mer
Ichauts we look for the raw material that We are
by our own labor, to convert into children's an,
other clothing.
But we need not extend this list Every on,
who pities the slave and cooperate with us il
this effort, will fud something to do or something
to give. We invite your cordial aid, and trust tha
the Bazaar of this year will as far exceed in inte
rest and profit the last, the last did any of thu
preceding.
This Bazaar will, as the others lave been, b,
conducted without any Objectionable feature, ant
only a fair price he charged for the goods Tn,
proceeds WILL as heretofore, be applied to dissent
mating anti-slavery truth by means of the lecture
and the press, and in whatever way may be opened
to us, fastening the overthrow of. American Slav
