aland's Book on the Slave Law.


We are acquainted with the character of the
work below recommended by our much respect
ed. venerable friend, and cordially endorse his
views. Ws are not aware that there are any
copies of the pamphlet fer sale in the State. Ii
is printed by ]. B. Cobb q Co., cleveland
Ohio, and sold at 81, 90 per dozen, and $500
per hundred From the adaptedness of the
work to the public wants, it will probably be or
dered soon to Boston, where it may be obtained
singly or in quantities for distribution by Gom-
mttees. We are not sure that Mr.. Bailey in
tended his letter for publication; but deeming
every thing that comes from him valuable, he
will excuse US for inserting it entire. ED.
Mn. THOMPSON: Have you seen a tract
written by Rev. Asa Rand, printed at Cleave
land, Ohio, and setting forth the denominations Of
our Fugitive s AVE Law, in clear and conylq
cling manner? A few weeks since he sent me
one. have read it with deep interest, and it is
very excellent tract, calculated to interest and
CONVINCE oil candid men of the enormity of thai
enactment; and to help the friends Of truth il
maintaining their position. 1t states prinpiples
reasons with logical clearness, and draws infer
ences, that cannot be denied, Let Free Demo
Gratis read, ponder and understand, and they viii
l be established in their principles, and able tt
meet the enemy to great advantage. And lie
any honest man read with candor, and his con
science will be touched, if it be NJ. scared q!
with a hot iron,
have long known Brother Rand, con
slider him an excellent man, an able writer
and should rejoice to have his tract scattered
through this State-through the Unioa-ar1 be-
lleve il calculated to do much good. Cart yor
get it Can't some measures be taken to get o
good supply tor this State? 1t should be placed
in every family aud kept as reference book, O
text book for all who lecture on auti-slave,y.
The edition printed is only 1000. When
these are sold, a cheaper edition may be printed
Price, IL l-2 cents single, 81 90 dozen, 81, 0O
hundred Can't you devise some way to gel
200 into this State will take dollat's worth.
Wake up some of our friends. Send on the
money get the tract If they are not satisfied
will never ask them to buy another. If they
like it, as do, then let measures be taken to
have large edition for New England. Or have
an edition struck off for this State. Such tract
placed in every family, would have more effec
than thousand lectures. A million saouid be
put in circulation within q year. Had I the
money, would make them fly. Only let the
friends of freedom wake up, and do what duty
and interest require and this tract might sooI
vie with 'Uncle TOMS Cabin" Will you see
what can be done ? Mr. Rand lives at Colamer
Cuyahoga County, Ohio--eight miles easterI,
from cleveland, and near the Lake Shorf
Railroad to Dunkirl, &c. What more can
say or do? have just entered upon my 84tf
year. and must soon enter on other scenes bu
| must work while can.
Have all the friends of Freedom in Vernon
grounded their arms and submitted? l hopt
not. Our cause must be onward. Truth will
triumph. Grid up your oins, press on. God i:
with us. Yours with cordial respects,
KIAH BAYLEY.
