funds; which are to be expended, ms h%crctofor
by the American Anti Slavery Society, in awal
ening the whole country, through its newspapers
books and various agencies, to the necessity o
extinguishing slavery.
Our principle is too we'll known to need NOR,
than n mere statement. 1t is, immediate, uncon
ditional emancipation, without expatriation, and
by peaceful means. From a growing conviction
of the justice and necessity of this work, for the
good and honor of all concerned, every measure
possible to be taken will inevitably spring without
delay. Our funds, therefore, will be devoted to
the primary work of arousing and engaging the
public mind which, as fast as i. awakens.
never fails to find n way to work its will-through
church action, by agitation and withdrawal,-by
state action, through the customary political chan
nels, or by the profounder policy of creating 9th
r s,-by legislative and judicial changes,-by
individual efforts in the manumission of slaves
and the protection Of fugitives,-by economical
measures prompted by the greater advantages of
free labor, by humane feelings creating a prefer
ence for its products.
What We ask of the citizens around us, just
awakening to some one or other of the manifold
aspects of this great question, is. to enable us to
continue the use Of the means that have proved
so eficacious in their own case. and to sustain the
primary cause of whatever Anti-Slavcry effects
they observe and desire to promote.
Let those who labor for an Anti-Slavery nation.
al and State administration, furnish voters with
the only sufficient motive to any Anti-Slavcry eff
fort, by working with us, so to excite The love Of
liberty, that every man shall take the risk of
trampling down slavery wherever it meets him.
Let them that pity the hunted fugitive, who
sees in every Northern man Il betrayer, bound to
that base junction by the great organic law of his
country, take the means most efIectual to turn the
betrayer into the protector, by helping US every
where to awaken q stronger sentiment than COM
passion for the millions who cannot fly Of whose
case il was so truly said by n New England poet
of the earlier time before school-books were ex-
purgated by slavery
Their wrongs compassion cannot speak,
Let all take warning to cooperate with us, from
those earlier days when slavery, instead of dying
out, as prophesied, began to grow strnnger,
because there was then no such fountain
head of moral power as we commend to the
attention Of the whole land today.
We do not make this appeal in a sectional spir-
it IA Northern Sorn, interfering with matters that
do not concern us. We make it in grateful ac-
acknowledgement Of the benefits we have received
from the anti,slavery cause, desiring to c%ommuni-
cate them to others. We have all been connect.
ed personally with the system of slavery. One
has known the evil power of its money temptations
another has felt its political despotism another
its perverting social influence another its cor
rupting ecclesiastical bondage another yet has
been identified by Southern birth and education
with the shareholders, and sustained tho legal re-
lation of ownership to the slaves while not I'M
frequently among our most efficient members have
been the wives of slaves, driven from us by the
operation of laws from which we cannot protect
them, and which make US liable to ruinous fine
and crushing Imprisonment, as they have done
our associates erewhile. But we all, with one ac-
cord, testify to tho truth of the anti-slavery prin-
ciples, and entreat the aid of all whom this ap-
peal reaches, to deliver the country from such a
dcspotism, by their promulgation.
IGg-TIIE LIBERTY BELL will be published
as usual and we cntreat all our friends who
have heretofore aided us by literary or pecuniary
contributions, to let us hear from them once again,
as speedily as possible.
nDa Our friends in Europe will not fail to
take notice that tho Bazaar is open q reek cartier

Contributions may be addressed to Mrs. CHAR
MAN, 81 Cornhill, Boston, or the other members
of the Committee, at their respective homes.
