been abolished. Three hundred thousand
Shareholders now hold three millions two hun
bred thousand slaves, and lands enough to
work them on. This is monopoly large
enough to ruin any nation and to trample down
any Government Il has already trodden down
the liberty of the United States, and turned the
Government into military despotism, to force,
by weapons of death, against the consciences OF
the people, the horrid demands of the Slave
holding Power. This is the awful power
against which the American Reform Tract and
Book Society wages perpetual war. No other
similar Society has SO desperate an enemy to
encounter no other has so unpopular work
to perform, and no other has so important an
object to secure. The redemption of this ma
ton involves the interests of the whole world /;
and, if redeemed at oil, it must be by some such
systematic action as this Society intends. No
other Society has so much need Of funds. Now,
in this awful crisis, when the last hope of Free
dom is likely to be crushed by an overwhelm-
ing despotism, this Society should have at
least one hundred thousand dollars, to enable
it to sustain conflict 50 desperate. If every
Anti-Slavery person who is able to do it, will
send one dollar, post paid to the Treasurer of
this Society, we shall have more than one hum
dred thousand dollars, and five times that
amount could at this time be well expended.
Now, it is proposed to make, forthwith, at
least one hundred thousand dollars without
the expense of agents. Let every Auti-Slavery
person who is able to do no moro send one
dollar, and let every one according to ability
send from one dollar up to one thousand dol
lars, or more. The Society, during the first
year of its existence, published weekly seven
thousand copies of the Christian Press. OAR
ing the second year it published one hundred
and seventy thousand pages of Tracts, and also
established a Depository of Sabbath School
Books, selected from other Societies, to which
it has now added soma of its own publications.
1t is now able to furnish Sabbath Schools with
books on as good terms as other Societies Fiji
teen hundred pages can be sold at tho DepoSi-
tory for one dollar, and twelve hundred can be
sent (post-paid) for one dollar to any part of
the country. No other Society, it is believed,
has done more in proportion to its ago and
means. The Society is now out Of debt.
Money should be sent (post-paid) to T. B.

Insidious attempts are being made by the

STAKEHOLDER, going from Virginia, would go
against therp, knowing that the introduction
of Slavery would exclude him, not only from
the best digging grounds but from partici-
patton in other pursuits, now denied him In
Virginia. A non-slaveholder cannot be sue
cessful agriculturist in Virginia, and what par
ticipation have they in the Legislative depart
ment of the Statel A slave owner with Eve
hundred slaves, in California, would dig FIVE
hundred times as much gold as an individual
non slave owner; and the consequence would
be, that the slave owners would soon monopolize
all the profitable pursuits, and leave the nom
shareholders as they are to be found in Viz
ginia a discouraged class without employment,
except the few that get situations as overseers,
a calling sought with as much avidity as the
lucrative Offices of the General Government
are sought by political aspiranss.
As for the rest, without employment and
oppressed by poverty, they have to seek homes
in the far-of West; and if in their new homes,
they do not oppose the spread Of Slavery, then
they will invite the curse that has driven them
from the land Of their nativity.

this truth when il declares that al men are ersal

We believe in the Constitution Of the United otaIe'

To the Editor of the National Era:
believe, if the people of Kentucky were to
vote on the subject, undrilled by politicians,
there would be an overwhelming majority OPP
posed to the repeal of the slavery restriction in
the Missouri Compromise. / am truly glad
that the country is waking up to the encroach-
ments Of the Slave Power. Better now than
never. But it would have been much better,
and the Union 10ouid haze been much safer, If
they had naked up some fue gears ago, and &C.
cluded slavery from all our Territories.
The people of the free States are said to be
intelligent, well read but they have studied
history and human nature to little purpose, if
they think to make the Union safer, or curtal
the power of slavery, by yielding to its de-
mands. Permit me to say to the Anti Slavery
party, when they get into power be moderate.
Permit me to say to the Anti. Slavery press and
politicians, don't denounce "the South" Ro-
member, q large majority in &" the South" are
not Shareholders, and very many, who own
slaves, and who do not, are as anxious for the
removal of slavery, and eurtailment of the
Slave Power, SIS any persons at the North p

DEAR SIR: Please permit me, through your
paper, to present to your readers the claims of
the American Reform Tract and Book Society.
This institution was organized at Cincinnati on
the 18th day of December, 1851, by members
Of different Christian denominations. The Sec
ond article of its Constitution alhrms that its
object shall be to prcmulgate the doctrines of
the Reformation to point out the application
sin to show the sufhciency and adaptation of
those principles to remove all the evils of the
world, and bring on form of society in &C.
cordance with the Gospel of Christ.
This Society aims, by the application of the
principles of the Gospel to abolish every de-
grading form of vice, and every ruinous system
of oppression. ID is designed to operate sys-
Dramatically and perpetually against Slavery,
until it, with oil its attendant vices, viii have

just now our citizens are called upon pretty
generally for the Emigrant Aid Society, and
the frs. detachment for Nebraska and Kansas
will leave on the 18th inst. 1t seems to be the
impression in the Senate and in Washington,
that Mr. Sumner is not fully endorsed by
Massachusetts,, but only supported by those
who procured his election. Never was there
a greater mistake. If an election was to take
place tomorrow, he would be triumphantly
elected by the vote of every member Of the
Legislature, unless some postmaster or custom
house officer had crept into a seat Every
tongue is loud In his praise, and will sustain
him as the embodiment of Massachusetts
heart and spirit, now fully awakened TO a sense
of their rights aud the danger to our free in
stitutions, and the odium cast by the present
Administration upon our fair fame.
