Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-01-17

During the Grst week in January, 1882, Just q
tw~elvcmOn,h after the first number OF The LiBER
AToR saw the light,-therc was organized in Boston
a Society of anti-slavery men, on the ground OF
the absolute Sin Of Slaveholdiug, and the Duty of
Immediate and Unconditional Emanci pation,-
which received tho name OF THE NEW ENGLAND
ANrt-SLAvERY SOCIETY,". In the course OF two or
three years, similar Societies hnving been formed
IN all the other New England States, the original
Society received the name of tie MASSACHUSETTS,
ANTi-SLAvEY SoUiErY. Under this simple but
expressive title, a band Of truthful, earnest,
courageous men and women have for twenty five
years been associated together. And not in vain
The principle upon which they united was one
which laid the axe at the root of the tree OF Slavery.
Hence they made their mark upon the Country
and the Times,-a mark never to be ettaced,-and
succeeded, against the most formidable opposition
and apparently unsurm0untable dli1cuitles, IN
arousing the Nation, dead in its trespasses and
sins. to a universal discussion of slavery. and to a
most " holesome agitation. As the qudrter-century
of the Society's existence drew to a closc,it seemed
perfectly proper that Its present members should
mark the period by u suitable commemoration.
