Now that the elections are over, James Miller M'Kim suggests that the National Anti-Slavery Standard "be filled with an entirely new style of reading matter." He believes the subject of Birney, the Emancipator, and all politics should be thrown to the dogs and something "more generally interesting" be put in their place. If Edmund Quincy keeps up his onslaught on the New Organizationists, and all will have to protest. M'Kim believes "it will be wrong both in principle & policy." Subscribers are falling off rapidly in Pennsylvania. J. Miller M'Kim gives statistics. He wants to see more from Maria Weston Chapman's pen. Edmund Quincy's articles are able, but too long.
