This annual effort, having Cor its end the Aboii-
ton Of American Slavery, has been so long before
the eyes Of the community that we feel prolonged
explanation in respect to it unnecessary. A very
simple abatement win be sufficient for our purpose.
Convinced CO va are that Slavery is a sin and "a
crime everywhere and Under i'll circumstances,
that all completely or connivance with IL Implies
moral guilt just in proportion 10 The extent of the
sanction given, that consequently all political and
especially all religious fellowship with such q sss:

We propose to DO this through the medium Of
Newspapers, lecturers end Tracts, and we cali

to these facts with any discouraging purpose, jas

This great mission the american Ant. Slavery
Society alone discharges, and therefore we co-ope-
rate with it. Her members refuse to be concerned
in the administration of a government cemented
with the blood Of slaves, or to recognize as churches

believe Ike died. This is the Treason and this the
1~nGdel.ty that so convulses 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 ,ha declaration tina
the Affairs of the Lord were not oven G5 those Of
Moloch.
We solicit correspondence, counsel and assistance
from nll friends of the Slave, whether at home or
in Europe, and we pledge ourselves to employ most
consclentiously 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.
