DEAR STR :-If you have read and criti- cally examined the work, you will probably agree with us that no course of argument so successfully controvertlng the practice of slavery in the United States, and inforcing a precise and adequate view of its prostrating 2 effects, material and moral, has equaled that of the volume entitled ''The Impending Crisis of the South How to Meet it." by Hinton Rowan Helper, of North Carolina.
 No other volume now before the public. as we conceive, is, in all respects, so well cacu- lated to induce in the minds of its readers a decided and persistent repugnance to slavery, and a willingness to cooperate in the effort to restrain the shameless advances and hurtfnl influences of that pernicious institution. The extensive circulation of acoplous com pend of the work in question among the in Itelligent, liberty-loying voters of the country, irrespective of party or locality, would, we believe, be productive of most beneficial re- suits; and to this end we trust you will asst t us in carrying out plan we have devised for the gratuitous distribution of one hundred thousand copies of such compend, which if contracted for and published, will contain about two hundred pages and be bound in pamphlet form. Ga One hundred thousand copies of the con- templated compend, which, on about two hun dred pages, would contain very nearly all the matter now embraced in the regular volume (which sells for one dollar per copy,) can be had well printed on good paper, for sixteen cents each--$l0,000 in the aggregate. This amount we propose to raise in such sums as you and other good friends of good cause feel disposed to subscribe. tHl
 In all cases, when convenient, contributors to the cause will please make their subscrip- tions in the form of drafts, or certificates of deposit payable to the order of the Hon. Wm. H Anthon, Is Exchange place, New York city, our treasurer and disburser, who will re- gularly, through the columns of the Tribune, acknowledge receipts of the same.
 Every person who subscribes ten dollars, or more, will if timely application be made, be entitled to as many copies of the compend for distribution as he may desire, not exceeding the number that the amount of his subscrip- tion would pay for at net cost.
 Subscribers names, with the sums severally subscribed by them, in all cases where the amount is ten dollars or more, will appear, all alphabetically arranged, Tn the latter part of the compend. h3
 Correspondence or personal interviews in relation to this enterprise may be had with any one of the undersigned, who will be pleased to receive subscriptions in aid of its speedy consummation,
 An early response from you is respectfully solicited.
