LOWELL, Dec. 1854.
Mr.. Editor: - My motto is No more
Slave States No more Slave Territory y
Since Kansas aud Nebraska are opened un-
Justly TO the admission OF slavery, | appre-
bend the easiest and most sure way TO pre-
vent another slave State is to assist and
afford every facility 10 cmlgrauls to settle
immediately IN Kansas: aud as Massachu.
sr,is has 50, noble example IN Turning a
society, the object of which IS to render as
sis,ance to those whn wish 70 emit crate 10
that country, was in hopes aud did expect
that this State, at the last session Of the
eaislature, would follow the example OF
Nassachus IT'S, aal firm a .SRleTu0aYgay
IN oach county. Ii has been, and stil Is
my pinion that unprecedented eXerton /.
necessary in order la get minority of vo
ie,s IN that territory Of such stamp as lC
carry 1t for freedom. | would suggest, then
lhata call for a convention 10 form such
society be published as soon as may be
Vermont Is capable. aud doubt not willing
TO All one thousand voters TO lake up thci
!, residence in that territory within one year
. or eighteen months, which might turn tn
t scale for freedom forever.
