This annual effort. having Cor its end the Adolf
ton Of American Slavery, has been so long before
the eyes Of the community that we feel prolonged
explanation in respect g it unnecessary. A very
simple statement viii DO sufficient for our purpose.
Convinced as we are that Slavery is a sin and n
crime everywhere and under all eli circumstances.
that all completely or connivance with it implies
moral guilt just in proportion 10 The extent Of the
sanction given. that consequently all political and
especially oil religious fellowship with such a sys-

dangerous, it is our endeayor to promulgHte these
sentiments, so far MS it may he in our power.

We propose to do this through the medium 0
Newspapers, Lecturers and Tracts, and va CALI

their sympathy and cooperation. The country is
stirred rs it never yet has boon, bnt Of how inad-
equately for the accomplishment of the great work
that lies before it, and, in too many cases, by what
poor and insufficient motives.
Should American Slavery be abolished through
the force Of moral power, q nobler example viii
have been given to the world than any previous
age has ever Witnessed. 1t is in the Colonial pos
sessions Of Monarchial Governments that Slavery

We solicit correspondence, counseland assistance
