The whole history of the last twenty-five years is
pointing and advancing to this result,

There were in 1910. 25, SOP free colored people in

The committee report with much satisfaction the
result of their labors this year. AS in times
past, they have been successful.
Besides the Tables furnished by friends in the
city, there were others supplied by Norristown,
Germantown. Cheltenhills, Wakefield, Newtown,
Bristol, Chester Co., Byberry, Arlington and New
Jersey. Contribution were received from Kim
berton, Lawrenceville, Dow~ningtown, Kennett,
Longwood, Christiana, Media, Milton, Salem and
Staten Island.
We also received, through the liberality of our
conductors in Boston, beautiful and rare articles
from Europe, which commanded a ready SALE
A very acceptable donation of El0 was received
from a friend In London.
Even after the great outlay of money made by
many in the political campaign through which
the country has just passed, there were still hands
and hearts to contribute funds to aid in spreading
before the people she radical doctrines OF the Abb
olitionists, whose watchwords are, Immediate
Emancipation" mo Union with Shareholders"
Those who were among the earliest laborers in
this department of anti, slavery work, felt cheered
by the earnest and effective cooperation of many
who have grown up under the influence of our or
CARNATIONS, giving promise that laborers shall not
fail till the wrongs and agonies of the slave shall
cease.
Also from the southland came one identified by
birth and education with the slaveboler, and by
legal relations with the slave as his owner, to work
with us and to testify to the truthfulness of the
principles which we advocate to assure us. by
the cheerful personal sacrifices made to carry them
out, that we are not demanding more of the mas
ter than his own conscience, enlightened bv the
Spirit of God, acknowledges to be just, and there
fore obligatory on him to practise.
Great interest was added to the occasion by ad
dresses delivered on two evenings by VIM. Lloyd
Garrison.
The Committee would urge early and energetic
labor for the Fair Of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty
Seven.
On behalf of the Committee,

NEST of all desire, now in the evening of my days.
is to encourage the apostles of reform to persevere
in their labors of love, until the denominations of
slavery intemperance and war shall be extermina-

way before a regenerated public sentiment, and
the inhabitants Of the earth will be blessed with
that condition for which Jesus instructed his dis

A BUCHANAN PAPER JUBILANT OVER the Re
vIvAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.--The New York
Day Book, an ardent supporter of Mr.. buchanan.
has had it's sensibilities sadly outraged by those
members of Congress who voted against the revi-
val of tho Slave Trade. After publishing Mr..
Ethridge's resolution it says:
1--WE publish it for the especial benefit OF our
Southern friends and, at the same time, solemnly
ask them how we are to make headway against
this atrocious crusade against the South. when they
themselves not only harbor traitors in their midst.
but actually honor them with seats in'the national
Legislature! The mover of this infamous res.
%olution," sc.
In the same strain it proceeds to speak Of The
Slave Trade in general. We quote:
"Now, can it be possible, or is it in the nature
of things possible, that bringing these negroes
here is wrong? Can it be wrong to transform
rude and brutal savages into useful and happy
Christians ? Or can it be right to carry these
negroes back to Africa, to transform Christian
beings into roaming, semi-bestial savages ?-'Yes.'
the civilized world say-'yes' say the toadies and
~lacquies of kings and aristocrats-'yes' say the
upholdsrs of European oppression-all those who
desire to preserve artificial distinctions among
those God has made equal-'yes,' say the deludsd
and debauched Abolitionists, and yes says the
moral and humane Mr.. Ethridge! But this 10
only one side Of the case, though it is abundspty
sufficient to convince any sane man that a stepsn-
dous imposture is ~practiced somewhere"
Cannot some Southern nsbob give this demented
~locofoco a place as overseeI on his plantation !.

LETTER FROM REV. SAMUEL j. MAY.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. l, 1857.
My VERY DEAR FRIEND: X X X n Nv
disappointment now in not being present brings
to my remebrance my disappointment twenty-five
years ago. 1t was my misfortune, not my fault,
that | was not with you and the eleven others, who,
on the evening Of January 2, 1882, formed the
New England Anti-Slayery Society. Six weeks
before that time, l went to Boston from my then
residence in Connecticut, and attended a meeting
of gentlemen in the Office Of the ever true Samuel
L. Sewall, Esq, at the corner Of State and Devon
shire streets. Our agreement at the opening OF
the meeting was, that il the apostolic number of
twelve should be found ready to avow and main.
tain the fundamental principles OF our enterprise
as they had been expounded in the Li6erat0r, (then
nearly a year old, we would institute an Anti.
Slavery Society. But after a prolonged discussion
only nine of that company were found willing to
concur in the condemnation of the colonization
scheme, and in the doctrine of immediate enamel.
then a long distance from Boston, and could not
come again very soon, for there were no railroads
in those days. Consequently, l had not the honor
eff being actually one of the formers of the New
England, now the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery
Society.

Hall tomorrow evening, my hearty blessing-anC

demand, Liberty for all men, without regard tt

1t is a demand that must be conceded sooner Of
later. Yours, affectiOnately,

LETTER FROM REV. O. B. FRoTHINGuAM
JERSEY CRY, Dec. %, 1856.

GENTLEMEN: u n y n y X y You will
allow me, l trust, 70 congratulate you upon the
past end the future. Your Festival ought to
be a glad one; for truly | think, all things con-
sidored,--the unpopularity of the movement, its
rough reception, the imposing powers Rrraycd
against it, the augmented value of the cotton crop,
the increased trade and the wealth Of the country,
and the ferceness of the political parties that
no cause equally coed ever made such progress in
so short q time. The masses Of the Northern
people have felt the touch of your spirit, and par
TALLY responded to your sentiments. You have
made commotion both in State and Church.
Beacon street has heard a voice, and quiet, con-
scrvntive gentlemen, such as once were instiga-
tors of mohs, are now familiarity entertaining and
gravely suggesting the dissolution of the Union.
The ex perience Of these twenty-five years has
tested the soundness of your leading principle
and established the wisdom of your mos, radical
POSITIONS. The band of fanatics has grown into a
company of prophets. The printers boy is almost
a dictator. The power that began with a single
small sheet, is gradually welding the ~mightiest
press in the world. This would certainly be
something to boast of, if Boosting were in order.
1t is something ever to be thankful for, and to
gather encouragement from.

How 1T PAYs.-The journal of Commerce of
New York the very beau ideal of a northern dough-
faced proslavery paper. seems TO have earned very
little southern patronage by its crawling servilily.
1t states that an examination of its books shows
that if every southern subscribers were to discon-
tinue his paper tomorrow, it would make no per-
ceptible impression upon the profits of our bust
ness. Pray why does it continue its disgracoiul
pandering to this minority? Is it from sheer love OF
meaness? Or is it because it finds ample pay from
northern services. This latter doubtless is the
secret.

TIE BosToN BAzAAR.-The last Liberator
states the receipts of the Boston Bazaar at up.
wards of St, 1000. 1t says:
The Anti-Slavery Bazaar closed in this city on
Saturday evening last. We confess that in view
of the exhausting pecuniary tax which was so uni
versally laid during the late Presidential election,
and with reference to the Kansas struggle, we an
ticipated that the receipts of the Bazaar would
fall considerably below those of last year; but we
are happy to be able to state that they have never
been so large as this year-exceeding the hand
some sum of Five Thousand Dollars. In due
season, our readers will be furnished with all the
particulars from the pen Of Mrs. NJ. W. Chapman,
for their qualification and encouragement.

PETITION
To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Of
Tie State OF Ohio.

~nN'
The Memorial Of the undersigned, citizens Of
County, Ohio, respectfully represents,
That from the nature of the case and from all our
past experience, it is manifest that the existing
union between the free and slave States involves
all the supporters Of our national government Ia
the support of American Slavery that the Union
instead of securing to us and our posterity the
blessings of liberty. has been and still is the most
efficient means Of crushing out the personal liberty
of tho citizens of all the States and of peryes-
uating and extending Slavery: and as there 10 no
possibility of amending or altering tho Federal
Constitution while the present Union lasts; Aud
as TIE advantages which as citizens of Ohio We
can derive from the general government oan be
more certainly and abundantly secured outside of
the Federal Union. therefore we request that you
will take the necessary preliminary measures for
the withdrawal of Ohio from the present Union,
and the establishment of a government which
shall be uncompromisingly tho friond and sup
corter Of liberty for all its inhabitants.

FRANCE-ENGLAND AND LAND MONOP.
OILY.

A late number of the N. Y. Tribune notices
the fact that France is now taking the precedence
in the Governments of Europe, while the political
power of England, is waning before her. The
cause of this change of relative political positions
between these rival nations, is alleged to be the
greater comparative increase of wealth in France.
Thus the increase of the value ia real estate in
France between 1921 and 1851 is from So, 900 000.-
600 at the former period, to SIG, 900, 900, 900 in the
latter. While in Great Britain the value of lands
in about the same period, had increased only about
f3, 900, 900. In some parts of the kingdom, es-
pec'a!ly in Ireland they had deprecated in value.
Commenting on these facts, the Tribune says:
These facts prove conclusively that France is in
creasing in wealth at a rate twice more rapid than
that of England. and wealth is power. The caus-
es of the difference are, as we think, to be found
in this England has been gradually consolidating
her land, and expelling small proprietors, whose
condition is universally described as being a very
wretched one. France, on the contrary, has been
dividing her land, and adding to the number of
men who own the soil they cultivate. The differ
ent effects of these two systems are fully estab-
lished in the returns now before us-proving that
while large proprietors have increased in their
money value but a third or n fourth, the smaller
ores hare been quadrWpled and quintupled In their
monev vn1ue. England has been changing her
p"oprietors into hireling slaves. while France has
land once produced are now no longer to be found.
The hardy Highlander has been first starved, and
then transported-to make room for sheep.

A New PRoPosITIoN.-The New York Tribune
proposes that our Congressman instead of their
milage, receive a sum Sufficient to pay the expen-
ses of a wife, daughter, sister, mother, aunt or
cousin, to and at Washington during the sessions
of Congress. 1t very wisely suggests that this
would save tho honorable gentleman from falling
into gross temptations and greatly improve both
the morals and manners of the honorable legisla'
tors. We are sorry to see that the Tribune shows
some deficiency of moral courage in not daring to
do more than make the suggestion. A proposition
so valuable as this, we think it might venture TO
ad~ vocate. The women will certainly be on its
side.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE SECURITY OF
THE ~SoUru.-The Tuskegee Republican, one of our
exchanges, thinks there is no real danger present
or prospective from slave instructions, in conse-
quence Of the superior numbers of the white popu-
lation. However he thinks some precaution
should be used. and makes the following sugges-
tions.
notwithstanding, in our opinion, certain things
ought to be done for still better security: preach
ing by negroes ought to be utterly abolished. Ne
gro preachers are almost invariably the corrupters
of the slaves, and are at the Lead Of all the mischief
that is brewed among them.
Negroes ought not to be allowed to carry on any
business by themselves, nor under any circum-
stances to live by themselves. Such abodes are
the resort of the idle and vicious of all colors,
where they meet TO gamble, to dance, to drink
and to d~issipate generally. The laws, we imag-
inc, of nearly ell of the states are already sufficient
to guard against the evils to which we refer, but
the great sin is that those laws are not en-
forced. Were they enforced we should hear less
frequently of outbreaks among our negro popula-
ton"
