In a year when Americans finds themselves cit
liens of a country weere the African slave trade
is going on, and slave-hunting unforbidden, and
sheltering the fugitive indicted as a crime, and
the leading religious and political influences so
dead to this public shame as to discountenance
legislative reform, we are confident that we have
only to open our subscription in order to be becom-
ingly and effectually sustained by the awakening
virtue of the people, in the enterprise to which our
lives are given.
We entreat, then, all the friends of Liberty, and
and the foes of Slavery, everywhere. in the South
as at the North-in Europe as in America-phi.
%losophers as we'll as Christian, Catholics no less
than Protestants, to subscribe to o fund and a
mode of expenditure which prepares the way be-
fore every sect, every party, every association
which makes all other mems anti-slavery labor
light, and which has, for elk and twenty years,
been laying the foundations of many generations
SO as to exclude slavery from American ~institu
lions, and secure to p~osterity those blessings Of
liberty which the last generation passed away
without enjoying.
THE UNDERSIGNED, while asking the favor Of
their subscribers company, on their customary
Anniversary occasion, are impelled by the good
ness and the grandeur of the enterprise, by its
indispensable necessity, by the universal and fund
amental character OF it's principles, to entreat also
the assistance of all. The crisis in the nations
life makes the occasion-one which will be worth
crossing the ocean to participate in. And while
thanking our European friends for their generous
cooperation of last year with America, we ask its
continuance yet d little longer, till a spirit of de-
%votedness adequate to this great world-enterprise
shall have been here awakened.
From this day forward through the year we be
gin to arrange our efforts, and economize our
means, greater or smaller as the case may be, to
meet this great national claim and we desire all
who would see slavery abolished, and truth, honor
peace, liberty and safety in righteousness restored.
to meet US at its close, for cheer, counsel, sacrifice,
resolve and generous cooperation.
