Anti-slavery Newspapers

These are indispensable agencies in prosecuting our canse successfully. - Without ihem, in a reading age like the present, very litlle would be done. They are admirably adapted to impress tru'h upon the mind on account of their regular weekly return. The impression made on the reader by the perusal, through fifty-two weeks, of as many papers, U far greater than would result from reading the same matter in a bound volume, once a year. The amount of good done, too, is not to be measured merely by the accession of Liberty votéis annually addec to the previous number. Anti-s!avery newspapers, both directly and through the other papers, inform the whole community of every thing important relating to the subject, and consequently are the originatorsand fashioners of public sentiment on anli-slavery matters. Thus, foi instance, the limitation ofSlavery by the Wilmot Proviso, or otherwise, is the greal theme of public discussion throughout the nation. Very few political papers can be found that have not had something to say on this subject. This discussion is owing mainly to the anti-slavery press. Without any distinctive anti-slavery papers, there is reason to believe that the Wilmot Proviso would never have been heard of, or would have failed of becoming the most important element of national politics. The Liberty vote, too, is entirely dependenl on the press. Strike out of existence every anti-slavery paper, and the Liberty organizaron would not last any rae. No political organizaron can be kept up without papers. It is now just one yar to the Presidential election. Thai year will be one of' unusual interest. Congress will meet in a month, when the question of conquering .Mexico will come up, and the disposition to be made of the spoils we rmy take from her. In the latter part of the session, the Presidential nominations will be made, and the remaining half year will be devoted to the Presidential canvass. - Surely, if the discussion and pendency of important questions can be ar.y inducement for taking a newspaper, the present season presentí the highest possible motive for subscribing. Not more than one in three or four of the Liberty voters in this State take any Liberty paper. Many o( them excuse themselves on account of their poverty. We might argue the case and show, that in a series of years, no man will be the poorer for taking one good newspaper. - But suppose we admit for the reason all the force it claims. Will it still be arjued that there are any Liberty men so loor that they cannot take a paper one quarler of the time ? We do uot believe t. To those who have thus far made this plea for not taking the Signal, we say, you can certainly take a paper one year in four ; and we ask you now to take the Signal during the present Presidential campaign. Then, if you find it jurdensome, you can discontinue. We will supply all responsible persons who may wish for the paper, on condition of receiving our pay during the year. Is not that credit long enough ? We will make the manner of payment as easy as )ossible, agreeing to take any kind of n'oduce or manufactures that ve can use o pay our debts. In return we will make as good a paper, bolh for anti-slavery and general news, as we can. The season of he year is now propitious for making layments ; and we confidently hope that hrough the activity of our friends, we shall shortly receive a large accession to our list. Application can be made directy to us, or to any of our Local Agents. 05 The official proceedings ol the 3u(Ta]o Conveniion have not yet reaclied us. The only report we have seen is thaj of the Buflalo Courier, n. Democratie paler, which filis three and a half column?, and nppears to be fmrly and respeclCully writlen.
