AsrtSIAvERY FArRs-THE WOVEN COLLECT
ING FUNDS FOR THE ABOLITION DEMAG0GUEs
AND AGITAToRs.--The National Aai-Slauay
Standard, (ultra-abolition) published in this
city is garnished with several conspicuous ad-
vertisements of the anti-slavery State fairs for
December.
The first is the announcement of the Western
Anti. Slavery Fair, to be held at Salem, Ohio,
on the oath and 25th December. "Contribu
tions OF money and Of every description of
merchnntable articles" are solicited, "wi.h a
hopeful confidence Of a generous response from
the friends of the slave" Signed by Sarah
BOVINE Laura Barnaby, Ann Pearson, Emily
Robinson, Angelina s. Deming, and ten other
ladies Of the committee.
The next is the Pennsylvania AntiSlavcry
Fair, the twentieth anniversary, to be cele-
brated at Philadelpbiain all December "Con-
tributions in money or goods will be very ac-
ceptable," and Tin making contributions, it is
earnestly hoped that the importance of the
cause may be recognised. Not only is the aid
given for the freedom Of millions of slaves
but for the liberty of all the Inhabitants of this
land, and for promoting the cause of humanity
throughout the world" This is large breadth
Of philanthropy. Signed by Sarah Pagh,
Margaretta Forten, Lucretia Mott, (the inevi-
table Lucretia,) Maria NJ. Davis "a shining
light,) Emma Parker, Abby Kimber, (another
Abby,) and about fifty other benevolent anti
slavery ladies devoted to the cause, and anxious
to do something to relieve the suiferings Of
poor old uncle Tom.
The third proclamation of the series is that
Of the "Twenty second National AntiSlavery
Bazaar, to be held in Boston, Mass, during the
Christmas week Of 1865. The committee in
this instance very fully, frankly, and cordially
set forth their opinions, objects, and purposes,
to wit -
Convinced that slavery is sin and crime
everywhere and under al circumstances, that all COM
phcty connivance with implies moral gull just IN

these sentiments SO far it may be in our power,
throughout the whole length and breadth Of the land We
propose to do this through tire medium of newspapers,

The ladies' of the committee further say, that
the members of their society ''refIse to be con-

assistance from all friends of the SLAVE, whether
at home or in Europe Signed by Anne War
rem Weston, Mary May, Anne Greene Phillips,
Louisa Loring, Abby Francis, (another Abby,)
Helen i. Garrison, Henrietta Sargent, Lydia
d. Parker and about twenty other strong
minded women-Abby Kelly Foster and Abby
Folsom being left out.
This Boston establishment is the chief of all
these philanthropic, negro-liberty- dispensing
kazaars. II has its business afflnitics with the
Duchess Of Sutherland and her Stafford House
and Harriet Beecher Stowe societies in Eng
land and Scotland, and the contributions re-
ccived through these channels at this Boston
bazaar, since the publication of the doleful
story of Uncle Ten, have been large, and we
presume, arc still, kept up.
The moral of this and ali these anti-slavsry
State fairs is readily suggested. From the
fact thet they are under the exclusive man
agement of women, old and yeung, married
ard single, interested in the cause Of aboli.
tion, they show that whatever Of hypocrisy,
demagogreism and mereenary considerations
may actuste the bearded agitators of negro
emancipation, the masses of this abolition
league are self-sacridcingIy devoted to the
They have made the abolition of Southern
slavery their duty, their labor of love aud
their religion, and they are but the advanced
guard of the great Seward movement of the
North This movement has lately received
some wholesome checks, but the decisive battle
has yet to be fought which is to determine the
sufiiciency or insufiiciency Of our federal Union
for the peace and harmony of the two sections.
The objects of these anti-sayery fairs are
frankly stated They are expedients for rails
ing funds to keep the fires of a disuniou sec.
tional agitltion holly burning. We hope
therefore, whatever the attractions Of the
ladies concerned, or their merchandise, that
they will be left exclusively to the patronage
OF Lloyd Garrisons advanced guard, and
Seward Holy Alliance.
