The cases are parallel. Slavery is determined
and insoent than George iii and his wicked adj
visers. Now then, argument rcmonstrancc and so
citaton avail nothing Those who mean liberty muse
confer for H. They must organize for IT, Now, % thens
the tories alias doughaces, will act with the opponents
of liberty There must be organization, union and har
mony; and minor questions must be merged In the gress
cause. When the people OF the North and the eptire
Union who are attached to the principles which we al
profess shall come to act thus they Will succeed IN arrest
ing the encroac achments OF Slavery.
We trust then, the Saratoga Convention will not ony
embrace full the quadruplc basis, bue
that il may be composed Of intelligent, prudent and So
Vacious men, who will have far higher regard for tho
than for themselves or for party considerations.
Thus constituted il may be most important oganz aon
for liberty; If other consde ra,ions should prevail It
would be huniliating burlesque
