TO THE RADICAL POLITICAL ABOLITIONISTS.

We are few-but VIC are not, therefore, to cease
from our work. Work for a good cause. be that
cause popular or unpopular, must be work to the
end.
Our undertaking, as radical political abolition
lists, is to remove slavery from the national terrific
ries by means of our national political power, and
to remove it from the States also, by means o
the same power, whenever the States shall them-
selves refuse to remove it. For the success of this
undertaking, we must depend, under God, upon.
ourselves. Of all the political parties. there is
but one to give US and that one is.
in poiat Of numbers, quite Insignificant.
The Wing and Democratic and Know-Nothing.
parties are each made up Of slave holders, rs we'll
as non Shareholders; and hence, the condition Of
their continued existence is, that they shall not
attack slavery. Members there are, of each of
these parties who are opposed to slavery. But
for any one of those 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, it denies
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 slave CATH
err. The American Anti Slavery Society, or. Gar.
rison party, like ourselves, labors. within the linz
its of moral suasion, to abolish slavery but, un.
like ourselves, it employs no political power to 'h's
end. What is still worse, i. seeks to separate tho.
Free States from the slave States, and to leave the
slave States, so far rs concerns the political power
of the free States, at perfect liberty to continue.

The Liberty party is the only political party in
: the land, that insists on the right and duty to.wield
the political power of the nation for the overthrow
of every part and parcel of American Slavery
That little party not only claims that there is mo-
law for slavery, and can be no law for that most
sweeping of all piracieS, but that the Federal Con
stitution demands tho abolition Of all American
Slavery, State or national. .
Circumstanced as we are, brethren, is itr not our
duty to come together, for the purpose OF enlight.
eninc each others minds, and cheering each others
hearts, and strengthened each others hands We
believe, that it is, and hence We take the liberty,
to propose, that a Convention of the radical politi',
cal Abolltionis of all parts of the country be held
in SYRACUSE, N. Y, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, the Goth, 9th and 28th days Of nexs
June. = -
We think it especially important, that the Con-,
vention be attended by all, who aresaccustomed set
lecture in behalf of our principles, and by all.
who are disposed to embark in such lecturing.-7.

ago, a Convention of Anti-Slavery Lecturers was
held in the City of New York, with very good
effect. al
It is to be hoped. that measures viii to adopted
at the proposed meeting for obtaining means tor
