The Philadelphia Female Anti Slavery Society,
have adopted a series of excellent resolutions rcla.
tive to the Passmore Williamson case, and nlso
sent him tho following letter of sympathy and en-
oouragement:
efel ga PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18th, 1856.
Beiored Friend and brother: In transmitting
70 you the accompanying resolutions of the Phila.
delphia Female Anti Slavery Society, permit me
TO say that our words are very inadequate utteran-
rss Of our sympathy with you, in your struggle
against the tyranny of usurped power. yainly
do wo strive to express that sympathy in its full
ness. You are suffering persecution for the sake
OF a cause to which our hearts and hands are
pledged; you stand before the world, a representa-.
tive of the great anti-slavery cnte rprise. which is
shaking this nation to its centre, and which is to
effect the m~ightiest moral revolution of this age;
And how can we but sympathise intensely with
you, as one standing where any of us may, ut any
tims, DO called to stand, bearing the interests OF
our cause, in the hottest front of our battle.
Thank God no words Of exhortation to cour-
ago and fortitudo are needed from US to you. The
inevitable HoUR, frnught with SO momentous con-
sequences to the cause of Freedom, found the Man
equal to its largo demands. But it may cheer
your spirit to know that, even now, rich harvests
aro reaped from your sowing; that we your fellow
laborers, are growing strong by your courage,
patient by your endurance, and earnest by your
sslfsacrifce; and that others, hitherto careless of
the slaves wrongs, or inactive for their redress,
are now arousing from their indifference, and COM
ing to swell the anti-slavery host.
"Joy to thy spirit, brother!
A thousand hearts are warm,
A thousand kindred bosoms
Arc barring to the STORM"
However that storm may increase in its fury, and
whenever and wherever its thunderbolts may strike
God grant that we may all be found ready to dc
or to suffer whatever may fall to our lot, with un.
dimmed hope, and unwavering faith that the Right
shall bo vindicsted, and that its triumph over
Wrong shall be complete and glorious.
On behalf of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Sla
very Society, Very respectfully, yours,
talpe MARY GREW, Cor. Soc'y.
