TO TILE RApNit Pol!E!cAt ABOLIIlONIsrS.

We are few-but VIC are not, therefore, to ceass
from our work. Work for u good cause. be that
cause popular or unpopular, must be work to the
end.
Our undertaking, as radical political aboli.iua-
lists, is to remove slavery from the national terrific.
ries by means Of our national political power, aud
to remove it from the States also, by means o
the Same power, whenever the States shall them.
selves refuse to remove 1t. For the success of this
undertaking, we must depend, under God, upon
ourselves. OF all the political parties, there 10
but one to give us conference.-the that one ID,
in point of numbers, quite Insignificant,
The Wing and Democratic and Kpow-Nothing
parties are each made up Of slave holders, as well
as non shareholders; and hence, the condition o
their continued existence is, that they shall not
attack slavery. Members there are, Of each Of
these parties who are opposed to slavery. Blu.
for any one of these parties to assail slavery
would be to dissolve itself. The Free Sell or In
dependent Democratic party is, we cheerfullY I'D
nit, an anti-slavery party. Nevertheless, 1t depiea
the rights of the Federal Government to touch
slavery in the States; and, sad to say, it admits
the Constitutional authority Of every stakeholder
to claim every State Government for his Stare cath.
err. The American Anti-SlaverY Society, or Gas,
rison party, like ourselves, lahore, within the linz.
its of moral suasion, to abolish slavery but, ur,
like ourselves. it employs no political power to ti..x
end. What is still worse, i. seeks to separate Ia.
Free States from the slave States, and to leave IT,.
slave States, so far rs coRcayna the political pows-
of the free States. at perfect liberty 10 coutinse
their oppression and torture of the black man.
The Liberty party is the only political party ia
the land, that insists on tho right and duty to wiei4
the political power Of the nation for the ossrthrt =
Of every part and parcel Of American Slavery,
That little party not only claims that thcrs u ~
law for slavery. and can be no law for that moss
sweeping of all piracies, but that the Federal Con-
stitution demands the abolition of all Americas.
Slavery. State or national.
Cireumstanced as we are, brethren, 10 1t not 80,
duty to come together, for the purpose of enligh,-
ening each others minds, and cheering each othst:S
hearts, and strengthened each others hands, We
believe, that it is, and hence We take the liberty
to propose, that a Convention of tho RADICAL poliit-
cal Abolltionis of all parts Of the country be hva
in SYRACUSE, N. Y, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, the Goth 9th and 2Sth days of 10 4
June.
We think it especially important, that the G. q
%vention be attended by all, who are accpstomei ~
lecture in behalf of our principles, and by IA
who are disposed to embark in such lecturinc -
The occasion will be a very favorable one fof r. ~
dering themselves more able and moro useful -
this department of labor. Nearly twenty yeans
ago, a Convention of Anti-Siavery Lecturers We.
held in the City of New York, with very g"&f
effect.
1t is to DO hoped, that measures will be ador,,A
at the proposed meeting for obtaining means 10
sustain lecturers, and to extend the ciroulakion Il
periodicals devoted our cause.
