The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-07-26
FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
NEVER GIVE UPl

Since we suspended this paper, last year, we
have had several calls for ii, and for such doc
uments as it would have contained. We have
therefore concluded to resume its publication,
changing its form to royal octave, the size and
form of Congressional documents, so that it
may be bound into a neat, convenient volume.
The last volume was devoted chiefly to a
compilation of old Southern documents on the
Question of Slavery, more useful for reference
than for general reading. The plan for the
new volume will be modified, so as to embrace
matter, specially adapted to the present con-
dition of our cause, and yet worthy of pres
ervation.
The Anti-Slavery Movement will be its lead
ing idea.
Such publication, cheap convenient, and
suitable for extensive circulation and distribu-
ton, is particularly needed at the present time,
when old party organizations are shattered,
and when the AntSlavery Sentiment, although
pervading the public mind, needs a well-de-
fined, general organization, and clear, ration
al method, to secure it due weight at the ballot
box and in legislation. To quicken this Sent-
! ment, and to aid in giving it a form and method
adapted to the exigency, will be the twofold
object of FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
-"FAoTs FOR THE PEOPLE" will be issued the
first week of every month, in royal octave form,
l6 pages, composed chiefly of such papers from
the National Era as shall be peculiarly suita-
BILE for general distribution. 1t will be sent
only in clubs, at the following rates per annum,
twelve numbers constituting a volume:
Six copies to one address $l.00
Fourteen copies to one address 200
Fifty copies to one address 600
The postage is a trife-only half cent a
number, or six cents year, paid in advance
at the office ,chere the paper is receiced.
Any person or club, by raising Sc, may in
this way furnish monthly AntiSlavery reading
for a whole year, to half a hundred persons:
and is not this the very time to indoctrinate the
masses, who have been cut loose from old Or
ganizations with Anti-Slavery principles Ev-
cry individual has his field of labor. A good
plan would be for few persons, earnest in the
cause, to unite, agree upon an efficient plan for
supplying their town, district, or county, and
then send in their orders accordingly.
What say our friends? VIII they take hold
of the project, and make it go? Can they think
of any cheaper, easier, and more effective plan
of operations just now?
AS we intend to begin the LIST day of May
next, so that there will be but one month for
canvassing, we trust all interested in the mat
ter will see the necessity of prompt action. .
