their cause.-the cause of Freedom, 50 deeply
not only to three millions Of Amori-
can slaves, but to the American nation and to
entire humanity,-for immediate aid, by eontri-
buttons Of money, aud materials, and by pur.
chase at the next Bazaar to be opened in
Boston,
Ok THE l7TH OF DECEMBER.
Contributions Of money at the present time
will enable members of the Committee now in
Europe to add to the attractions Of tho exhibition
still further, and, in consequence, to increase the
fulds which are to be expended, as heretofore
by the American Anti. Slavery Society, in awak-
ening the whole country, through its newspapers,
books and various agencies, to the necessity of
extinguishipg slavery.
Our principle is too well known to need more
than a mere tatement. 1t is, Immediate, uncon-
ditional emancipation, without repatriation, 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 it a%wakens,
never fails to find a way to work its will-through
church action, by agitation and withdrawal by
state action, through tho customary political chan
nels, or by the profounder policy of creating 9TH
ers,-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 q 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.Slavery 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-Slayery 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 a betrayer, bound to
that base function by the great organic law of his
country, take the means most ~effectual to turn the
betrayer into the protector, by helping us every
where to awaken a stronger sentiment than COM
passion for the millions who cannot fly Of whose
o case il was so truly said by a New England poe
: of the earlier time before school-books were ex
d p~urgated 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 tn
attention of the whole land today.
We do not make this appeal in a sectional spir
it as Northern-Sorn, interfering with matters tina
do not concern us. We make it in grateful &C
acknowledgement of the benefits we have receive
rs from the anti-slavery cause, desiring to communi
lie cate them to others. We have all been connect
ed personally with the system of slavery. On

been identified by Southern birth and education
with the shareholders, and sustained tho legal re
lation of ownership to the slaves while not VI
,c frequently among our most efficient members hav
ke been the wives of slaves, driven from us by tn
mt operation of laws from which we cannot protec
them, and which make US liable to ruinous fin
" and crushing Imprisonment, as they have don
our associates erawhile. But we all, with one al
TO cord, testify to the truth of the anti-slavery pril
.r- ciples, and entreat the aid of all whom this a.
gu peal reaches, to deliver the country from such
oS despotism, by their PRONUNCIATION.
