This annual effort, having for its end the Abolif
ton Of American Slavery, has been 80 long before
the eyes Of the community that we feel prolonged
explanation in respect to it unnecessary. A very
simple statement will DO %suficiah; for BUT purpose.
Convinced as We are that Slavery 10 a sin end q
crime everywhere and under ali circumstances,
that all completely or connivnnce with it implies
moral guilt just in proportion 70 The extent Of the
sanction given, that consequently all political and
especially all religious fellowship with such a sys-

dangerous, it is orr endeavoI TO rromulgate these
sentiments, 50 far as it may be in our power,

We propose 4: do tiia through the medium Of
Newspapers, lecturers and Tracts, and wa calf

poor and insufficient motives.
Should American Slavery be abolished through
the force Of moral power. a noblcr example will
have been given to the world than any previous
age has ever witnessed. 1t is in the Colonial pos
sessions Of M2narchial Governments that Slavery

and religious life, and where, with unimportant
exceptions, every man is 4 voter. We do not allude
to these facts with any diseouraging purpose, but
only that we may declare with convincing earnest.

believe He died. This IS the Treason and this the
~lnfdelity that so c~onYulses our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we cheerfully
leave the character Of the American Abolitionists
to the verdict of coming ages, believing that It will
then appear that Loyalty consisted in adhesion to
Righteousness and Faith, in the declaration that
the Affairs Of the Lord were not even as those of
Moloch,
Wesolicit 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.
