Linz class TO detest. not slavery, but negroes, az

Mr. Helpers book being an appeal to their reason

1t will be seen that the substance, and nearly
all the words, Of large and compact volume cost
ing dollar, are to be compressed into pamphlet
edition of two hundred pages and afforded in gross
Cor sixteen cents per copy-each contributor to the
fund being at liberty to receive personally, or direct
the distribution Of many copies - his subscrp-
fion will pay for. Should the enterprise be fully aud
promptly successful, as we trust it will, while Re-
publicans in the Free States will be provided with
powerful magazine of facts and reasons for their
faith, We shall have something more than nomi-
nal vote in the Slave States for oar Presidential
Ticket in 1860.
