REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
referenc to the Treasurers report will show
that the receipts of the society," always most pitful
in comparison with the magnitude of the object II
seeks to accomplish, have during the last year been
unusually limited. This is true especially of the
aggregate of the general contributions of the friends
of the cause. 70 the Ladies of the Cincinnati Ba-
zaar and the Salem Fair the Committee are ss,
pecially indebted. But for their luborious efforts
and liberal contributions our labors could not
have been continued This deficiency of pecuni-
ary MEANS has of course, limited the operations
of the committee to very narrow sphere. S. s.
Foster, j. II. Phileo, and Aaron NJ Powell, Agents
of the American Anti-Slavery Society, with C. s.
| S. Grfing and DR.. Abram Brooke, Agents of our
own Society, spent short time last fall in the
lecturng field, mostly in Ohio, and with such re-
suits to greatly increase regret that their la
bors could not have been extended to much lar.
ger period.
tits to be regretted that the public advocates Of
the should not have been more numerous
than even during the past year. that thus we c,ud
take advantage of the excited state of the public
mind and turn it into the channel of thorough
abolitonism. But the Committee have been COM
PEELED reluctantly TO suspend their labors far as
public lecturing is concerned leaving only their
paper. as the organ of communication and infu.
ence with the people.
The unavoidable result of this inactivity, of this
lack of public discussions and conventions, has
been, that the people have more and more yielded
to the temptations Of expedenoy, at the sacrifice
of principle and that some who once bore their
practical testimony against the wickedness Of the
Government and the Union are now found among
its most zeaons supporters laboring with party
in the government to secure the exclusion of slave
ry from the territories, by perpetuating ii in the
States. The results Of the last year are emnently
confrmatory of the previous experience of aboli-
tioniss, that the only way to keep antislave.
ry men at work, uncompromisingly against slave-
ry is, to keep the great fundamental truths of the
enterprise continually before them, moving their
hearts and pressing. their ccrscisnees, and urging
all possible motives to thorougbness, fidelity aud
