Patton Olin and other allies of kidnappers at the head had a meeting in New York when 1 was there The meeting excited no interest not enough to cause a passing notice even in the New York Obser 1 ver or any other religions journals nor in the polit ical I could learn nothing of their doings 'Die manner in which the gathering in London in 1846' treated the slavery question made over the whole I concern to undying infamy It is dead be assured I in this country It originated in sectarianism in al desire to strengthen Protestantism against Popery1 and to sustain the waning influence of the priest hood and has proved an utter failure Be assured no branch of it can ever be formed in this country while the North and South sit down at the same communion table Old alliances with slaveholders it will be hard to break up but no new ones can ever be formed and if this Union were once dis sdlved (which may God grant soon) the North could never form another political alliance with the South till slavery is abolished So you see the Democrats have put up two Gen 1 erals Cass and Butler as candidates for President and Vice Pregident two men who have sworn alle giance to slavery and pledged themselves to the' conquest of Mexico and its annexation to the Slates as a mart for the slaves The Whigs are now in session in Philadelphia to nominate their candi dates They' too have sworn allegiance to slavery and will nominate a man stealer in the person of Clay Taylor or Scott But slavery is the rock on which both these political parties as well as the Un ion are soon to be dashed in

bear the suffering and odium con sequent upon an adherence to right against law and custom until this can be accomplished the South ern slaveholders are upheld in lheir sin by the pow erful support of Christian fellowship social sanction and civil participation 1 We determine therefore to strike at once at the root of slavery by appealing to the hearts and con: sciences of men and withdrawing their allegiance from such shameful cruelty and vvrong by the con tinual presentation of the paramount claims of free dom and humanity Union being strength that fact decides us to co operate with any whose principles prove them to be ''tritet worthy who make the aboli tion of slavery their primary object and who in addition to their honesty of purpose have sense and sagacity enough to make them safe co adjutors by securing them from becoming the prey of the selfish set of hypocritical adventurers that every moral rev olution calls forth We find such a sufficient and trustworthy body nowhere but in the American Anti Slavery Society Years of close observation of its righteous principles and uncompromising practical workings assure us that it lids the elements of suc cess It continually sends forth lecturers to enforce the first principles of justice and humanity among the people and in a few years is found thereby to have exercised a controlling influence for good throughout the country It dictates tlie course and bends the policy of every political party and speaking as it does from a height above their selfish personal struggles its words of everlasting truth are heard and more and more objyed While calling on all to unite with it it has ever by the energy and rectitude of its progress been free without license and elective without invidiousness It is not too much to say in its praise that its cause and its course repel all but the wise the good and the bold from active co operation with it and brffnd with dishonor the hand that approaches it to make it the instru ment of anv selfish purpose It has no local attach ments no partisan or sectarian partialities no hid den aim no double purpose while at the same time every observer notices how happily its labors prepare the way for every good work: for though specific in its object its great principle of immediate individual reform without awaiting the gradualisms of party politics legislative action and udicial deci sion is one of universal application This therefore is the mode of operation which commends itself to our reason and our feelings The agents and friends that such an association of neces sity draws
