---
This annual effort, having for It's end the Adolf
ton Of American Slavery, has been 50 long before
the eyes Of the community that We feel prolonged
explanation in respect to it unnecessary. A very
simple statement viii be sufficient for our purpose.
Convinced as we are that Slavery is Il sin and u
crime everywhere and under all circumstance,
that all completely or conniyance 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 a sys-
TEN of denominations is eminently criminal and
dangerous, it IS our endcavor to pronulgate these
sentiments, 50 far as it may be in our power,
throughout the whole length and breadth e Ito
land.
We propose to do this through the medium O
Newspapers, Lecturers and Tracts, and We call
upon all who fear God or regard Man 10 give US
their sympathy and cooperation. Tie country IS
stirred as it never yet has been, Int ol how mad
e%quately for the accomplishment Of the great work
that lies before it, and, in too many eases, ly vhas
poor AMI insufficient motives.
Should American Slavery lie abolished through
the force Of moral power, a uollcr cxomrle will
have been given to the world than any previous
age has ever Witnessed. 1t is in the c, ionial pos
sessions of Monarchial Governments Tint Slavery
has been abolished. ne arc laboring for its cx
%tinction in the midst Of q great nation, where it is
onwoven with every fibre of commercial, political
and religious life, and where, with unin portaug
exceptions, every man is a voter. We DO not aIlrde
to these facts with any discournging purpose, but
only thai we may declare with convincing earnest
ness the necessity there exists for the PRONUNCIATION,
not of any halfway testimonies or diluted doctrine,
but for the truth in its entire efficiency, without
concealment and without compromise"
This great mission the American Anti Slavery
Society alone discharges, and therefore we co.oYc-
rate with it. Her members refuse to be concerned
in the administration of Il government ssnlented
with the blood of slaves, or to recognize q eja1fcbos
Of Christ the apostate ecclesiastical bodisx of aue
country, who consider as goods and chasels pef-
sonal, subject to all the fluctuations that mark 9th
err property, the souls for which they profess to
believe lie died. This Is the TIeason and this tle
Infdel.ty that go convulses our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we chccrfully
leave the character of the American AbUlitionists
to the verdict of coming ages, believing that it will
then appear that Loyalty consisted in adhesion to
Righteousness and Faith, in tie declaration tia
the Affairs of the Lord were not even as those o
Moloch.
We solicit correspondence, counsel and assistance
from all friends of the 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.
Communication may be addressed to the Com
mittee at 81 Cornhill, Boston, Mass, or to 1873
Nassau street, New York.
