Z Thus, terror engenderers, of the South,
have we Abolitionists fully and frankly de-
fined our position we have no notifications
to propose, no compromises to offer, nothing
to retract. Frown sirs, fret, foam, prepare
your weapons, threat, strike, shoot, stab,
bring on civil war, dissolve the Union, nay,
annihilate the solar system if you will-do
all this, more, less, better, worse, anything
do what you will, sirs, you can neither
foil nor intimidate us; our purpose is as
firmly fixed as the eternal pillars of heaven I;

THE ENDoRsERs, AIDERs AND ABETToRs OF
THIS REVOLUTION AND TREASON.
NEW YORK, March Q, 1852
Dear Sir If you have critically read
and examined the work, you will agree with
us that no course OF argument so successful
" controverting the practice of slavery in
the United States, and enforcing precise
and adequate view of its prostrating effects,
material and moral has equalled 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 calcu-
lated to aid US Abolitionists and induce In
| the minds of its readers decided and per
sistent repugnance to Slavery, and willing
ness to cooperate in the unlawful effort to
restrain, and destroy that pernicious State
institution.
The extensive circulation of copious COM
pend the work in question among the (pre-
tended) liberty loving voters of the country,
would we believe, be productive of most
beneficial results Tin favor of AbOlitionists
and Abolitionism, and to this end we trust
you will assist US in carrying out plan we
have devised for the destruction of the old
Union, by the gratuitous distribution of one
hundred thousand copies of such compend,
which, will contain about two hundred pages
bound in pamphlet form. This compend
would contain very nearly all the best matter
for our particular use, 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-$l6.O0 III the
aggregate This amount we propose to raise
Ito bring on war between the North and the
South in such sums as you and other good
friends of our (treasonable) cause feel dis
posed to subscribe.
In all cases, when convenient, contributors
to the cause (of revolution) will please make
their subscriptions In the form of drafts, or
certificates of deposit, payable to the order
change Place, n Y, our Treasurer and Dis
burser, who will regularly, through the New
York Tribune, THE Abolition Bible) ac
knowledge receipts of the same.
Every person who subscribes ten dollars
or more, will, if timely application be made;
be entitled to asmany copies of the compend
for distribution as he may desire, not exceed
ing the number that the amount OF his sub
scription would pay for at net cost
Subscribers names, with the sums several
w subscribed by them, in all cases where the
amount is ten dollars or more, will appear
alphabetically arranged, in the latter part OF
the compend.
Correspondence or personal interviews IN
relation to this Abolition enterprise, (tor the
destruction of the Union and peace of the
States) may be had with any one of the un-
dersigned TRAITORS to the Constitution who
viii be pleased to receive subscriptions IN and
of its speedy cOnsumation. An early re-
sponse from You is respectfully solicited.
