The districting committee invited May to lecture in the district which included Sturbridge, Northbridge, Charlton, Dudley, Auburn, Webster, and Oxford. A petition to Congress not to admit another slave state to enter the Union was urged, as well as a petition to the Legislature to protest against the annexation of Texas, and a plea to the town societies for funds.
