To BE HELD IN CiNoiNNArf ONO, DURING THE
THIRD WEEK IN October, 1858.
"Be not tceary in tceu doing, for in due season ire
shall reap II zee faint no"
More than twenty years have passed since that
great champion of the slave first threw down the
gauntlet, saying, 81 rW be heard; ,cW not be si-
lent" But the cause in which he then enlisted has
not yet triumped. Time has proved that the war
fare then commenced is no pastmc-the enemy en-
encountered is no Insignificant one. SO the battle
has progressed, the foes of Freedom have come out
Of their hiding places Of church aud state, mulpli
ing on every side, as the battle cry soun-
ded in the various parts of our land.
"On right, on left, above, below,
"Sprang up ut once the lurking foe.
Much has, indeed, been accomplished. Often
has the enemy been driven from his outposts, and
many of his munitions Of defence been taken aud
destroyed; while great numbers have been induced
to desert their former positions, and come over aud
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 Il may be that il
is just begun. The etcrs ofthc slave still clank in
ears The groaus Of the millions Of our c,utry-
men in cruel bondage are still waited to us on ev-
cry breeze. We cannot become weary and discon-
tuuo our labors or cease to call upon others to
come TO our aid. And as managers Of the Western
Anti-Sldrery Bazaar, we again present this cause
before the tried friends of the slave appealing for
their sympathy aud their substantial aid Encour-
aged by the growing interest that has been mani
tested in our annual Bazaar and believing that il
has been an instrumentality of great good, we are
preparing to hold another during the third reck III
/ October next
| Friends of the slavc-hatcrs of opprcssiou--dis-
ciplcs of him who came to preach deliyerauce to
them that are bound, we again call upon you. II
depends upon you to say how much this effort shall
1.ab LII
era in your contributions and enter into the work
with an carncstucss and zeal such the cause de.
mauds far more gratifying will be the results than
in any preceding year. Sympathy with the slave
has vastly deepencd aud 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 q
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 variety that please the eye, adoru 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 mility such a,
must be purchased somewhere by every family
may prepouderate. There is hardly an article IL
use but will be appropriate. 'Tis not beautiful
specimens of ladies' handiwork or ornaments thn
grace the paror, alone, that should he here. Le
the mechanic send in of the work of his hands,
All kinds of household utensils find ready salc.-
Let farmers send of the products of their farms.-
Fruits, butter, cheese, and various kinds of yeget
ables should be in our hall. Especially shall We
need cream, preserves, &C., for our Refreshmen
table. Boquets of flowers always salcable.-
| Let the Manufacturer and Grocer send us sucl
things as are needed for the family store-closet-
soap, candles, tea, coffee, sugar spices, &c. Con
fectiouers must not forget that we dispose of many
