Feilow Citizens, and colahorers in the field ol iiilanthropy, whüe we thankfuHy acknowlcdgt ie manifest opprobation and funherance of our ause, by the mpariial Father of the human, famy; we lake leave to remind you, that in theprus cution of our conscieniious and constiiutionul flortB lor the annihilation of Slavery, and prolOtion of the permanent welfare of ail classes of ur great community, there needs coniinued vig anee and energy. to preserve undimlnished the 'ower, which urcity of purpose, and independencc f euher of the two great pulhical parlies, have oeignallyus. We are no longer an insignifiant handful, but haveattained a standing at once espectable and influential, in that Arena., where otes are potent arguments. In vain has ridicule, pursecution or misrepre entation assailed us. We have advanced with teady and even rapid steps, irom recent obscuriy to our piesent acknowleded clcvation; and lis, no1 by reason of superior intellect ormor.il worth asa party, bul because ol the rigiiteousneeif our enterprize, and the omnipotence of truth. which is pre-eminently ou our side, and musí eventually prevail. Lang ba3 the Anti-slavery Party atriven, by moral siuision, to turn the tide of public sentinent, but. save some 6paree fruits of the.r perseverance.their hopes have been too andly frusratecl. In consequence of disappointment, som . we fear. have gone out into ullraism at Vnrianctviih good Guvernineut and the sanctiiics of Reigion. Lu us hope, thai when they shall havi suIBciently lested their principies, they will setind acknowledge iheir errjis, and return to u heir brethern, who deern it our duty to suppor' heConstitution of the Union, together with thote nsiitutions which condice to the esiablishmem )f morality and order. It s rumored, that soine individúala of the Lib erty party has bten seduced uno the ranks ol he Whigs and Democrate, in anticipation of ilu upproaohing Presitleniial eleetion. There ma poesibly be a few eo weak as to be gulled by th whecdling arts of leaders among those parties. both ol whom are virtuilly opposed to us; bui i is confidcntly belioved that the aumber of thoèt delinquents tiave been iiuentionaily exaggerated. lor political e-ffëct, and that the honest report o the Ballot box will show" them to be '-scatterin' ind harmless. We feel it a duty to remind you of the vast res oonsibiliiy hat restu upon every anti-sluvery mat. in the Couniy of Callioun, io regard to the approaching elecfione. - Htt but whai if providemially unavoidabie prevent your ndivid nal attendance at the polls, and your undividtd suffrage lor the persons respeetively nominated n ilie Conventions of Delegares for our Ditrict an' County.
