FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

khave had several calls for it, 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 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 AntiSlavery Movement will be its lead
ing idea.
i Such publication, cheap, convenient, and
suitable for extensive circulation and distribu-
Zion, is particularly needed at the present time,
when old party organizations are shattered,
and when the Anti-slavery Sentiment, although
pervading the public mind, needs well-de-
ined, general organization, and clear, ration
al method, to secure it due weight at the ballot
box and in legislation. To quicken this Senti-
dient, and to aid in giving it a form and method
adapted to the exigency, will be the two-fold
object of FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
"FAoTs FOR THE people" will be issued the
irst week of every month, in royal octave form,
t6 pages, composed chiefly of such papers from
he National Era as shall be peculiarly suita-
Die for general distribution. 1t will be sent
only in clubs, at the following rates per annum,
welve numbers constituting volume:
otd II
. Fourteen copies to one address ZOO
Fifty copies to one address 600
The postage is trife-only half cent a
lumber, or six cents year, paid in advance
1t the office aohere the paper rs receired.
Any person or club, by raising Sc, may in
his way furnish monthly Anti-Slavery reading
or a whole year, to half a hundred persons
ind is not this the very time to indoctrinate the
masses, who have been cut loose from old or
-anizations, with Anti-Slavery principles Ev-
,ry individual has his field of labor. A good
Slan would be for few persons, earnest in the
sause, to unite, agree upon an efficient plan for
supplying their town, district, or county, and
hen send in their orders accordingly.
What say our friends? Will they take hold
If the project, and make it go? Can they think
IF any cheaper, easier, and more effective plan
If operations just now?
AS intend 10 Degln the ISL Gay OF may
aext, 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.
