- O. 49,
This annual effort. having for lite end the Adolf
ton Of American Slavery, hGs been so long before
the eyes Of the community that we feel prolonged
explanation in respect to II unnecessary. A very
simple statement will DO suflcien. FOR our purpose.
Convinced as we are that Slafery is a sin and .
crime everywhere and under all ~ciIcunstabcesi
that all completely or connivnnce with it implies
moral guilt just in proportion to the extent Of the
sanction given, that consequently all political and
especially all religious fellowship with such n sys-
tenn of denominations is eminently criminal and
dangerous, it is our endeayor to promulgate these
sentiments, 30 far as it may be in our power.
throughout the whole length aud breadth Of the
land
We propose to do this through the medium OF
Newspapers, Lecturers ard Tracts, and we calf
upon all who fear God or regard Man to give US
their sympathy and cooperation. The country is
stirred as it never yet has been, hnt ol how mad
equately for the accomplishment of the great work
that lies before it. and, in too many cases, by what
poor ard incuf1cicr. motives;
Should American Slavery be abolished through
the force Of moral power, o noblcr example will
have been given to the world than any previous
age has ever witnessed. 1t is in the Colonial pos.
sessions Of Monarchial Governments that Slavery
has been abolished. ne are laboting for it's ex-
tinction in the midst Of a great nation, where it il
enwoven with every fibre OF commercial, political
and religious life, and where, with uriu portant
exceptions, every man is a voter. We do not sllhde
to these facts with any discouraging purpose, but
only tina. we may declare with convincing earnest
ness the necessity there exists for the PRONUNCIATION,
not oc any halfway testimonies or diluted doctrine,
but for the truth in its entire efficiency, without
c~oncealment and without COMPROMISES"
This great mission the American Anti. Slavery
Society alone discharges, and therefore we co-ope-
rate with it. Her members refuse to be concerned
in the administration of a government cemented
with the blood Of slaves, or to recognize Ms churches
Of Christ the apostate ecclesiastical bodies Of our
country, who consider as goods and chattels per
: sonal, subject to all the fluctuations that mark oth-
or property, the SOULS for which they profess to
believe He died. This IS the Treason and, this tho
Infdel.ty that so convulses our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we cheerfully
leave the character of the American Abolitionis,s
to the verdict of coming ages, believing that it will
then appear that Loyalty consisted in adhesion to
Righteousness and Faith, in tAe declaration that
the Affairs Of the Lord were not even as those Of
Moloch.
Wesolicit correspondence, counsel and assistance
from all friends of tho Slave, whether at home or
in Europe, and we pledge ourselves to employ most
conscientiously whatever of influence or money
may be committed to our hands, and to make faith
full account for the same at the close of our under
taking.
Communications may be addressed to the Com
mittee at q Cornhill, Boston, Mass. or to l38
Nassau street, New York.
