():?' See terms on the Second page of the cover. Anti-Slavery Fair. We have inserted on the third page of the cover, the ap• peal to the women of Massachusetts, from the Boston Fe· male Anti-Slavery Society, in relation to the Fai1·, to be helu in Boston, about the close of the present year. Sewing circles should be established immediately in cv· ery town and parish in the state. If there are not enough, however, to constitute a circle, let there be no delay on the part of individuals to commence the work. These little sewing assemblies are not only useful in promoting the in· terest of the Fair, but the information that may be obtained by the reading of some member of the circle, and conver· sation, will tend gr~atly to interest and encourage each other on this question. In 1838 the Boston F. A. S. Society realized 700 dol· Iars from the Fair, in 1839, 1500 dollars, and in 1840 it obtained 2000 dollars. The women of England, Ireland, and Scotland are already at work for this Fair. How much are you willing to dol What is done must be done quickly. EowARD EvERETT.

Our nor.thern doughfaces will soon learn to. their sorrow, that slavery has something to do with the North, if the North has nothing to do with slavery. \ Keep up the Exc.iteruent. , D~ring the past year not far from 60,000 human beings, In th1s boasted land of liberty and christiamty, have died in their chains. These welcomed death as their greatest benefactor. Yes, grim visaged death did for them what christians and republicar.s would not. Two and a half millions have at this moment their eyes turned to the north, and are watching with anxious solicitude for the dawnings of that day when liberty shall be proclaimed to all. Said Mr. Douglass, the fugitive slave, the other evening, as he was addressing a large audience in Concord, "The slaves !mow there is a movement going on at the north for their rede~~ tion. . This inspires them with hope. They are wanmg patiently for the developement of this movement. The~ ~o not. know precisely its character, yet they feel that 1t IS to gtve them the liberty which they know is th~ir due, and for which their souls pant." "Take awny this |
