We have been told that to speak of it, was an evasion of the t ighu of other States.

' The question is not now shall the. wtongs of slavery exist, as tbey bave.rpo their own territories ? but, shall we permit them to be extended over all the terri tories of the United States?. Shah the' woes and miseries of slavery, be extended over a region of fair, free, unoccupied territory, nearly equal, in extent, to the whole of the free States? - Nor is this all ; this is not the last tVing that is expected or intended. -Should' this "movement be submitted to in silence, ahould the North consent to this breech of solemn contract on the part of the South, there yet remains one more step to be ap prehended, via : the legalizing of -slavery through out the free States. - By a decision of the Su preme Court in the Lemmon case,5 it may be de clared lawful for slave property to be held in the northern free States. Should this come to pass, it is no more improbable that there may be, four years hence, slave depots io New York city, than it was four years ago, that tbe South would pro pose a repeal of tbe ' Missouri Compromise." ' ; i Women of the free States ! ibe question is not. shall we remonstrate with slavery on its own soil? but are we willing to receive slavery into the free States and territories of the Uoioo t "- . : Shall the whole power of these United State go into the hands of slsvery ? ' '- ' , Shall every State in it be thrown open as a slave State? ' This will be the final result and issue of ll:e Question which is now pending. - This is the fearful crisis at which we stand. And now, is there anything which the women of a country can do! Oh women of. the free States t what did your brave mothers do in the time of our rev.nl u tionary struggle? Did not liberty in those days feel tbe strong impulse of a woman's heart ? Never Wis there a great influence agitating the community ,i when woman's influence was not felt for good or for evil. At tbe tirrie when the strug- gle for the nbulitjon Pf the slave trade was convul sing England. Wortlen contributed more than any other Iuboreri to that great triumph of humanity "the women snd children of Enlnmj to a great and the Sights f Ean." extenf refused to receive into their families the sngar raised by ""the suffering slave.. Seventy thousand families refused the use of sugar, as a testimony to their abhorrence rf the manner jn which it was" produced. At that lime women were 'unwearied in passing fi 6m house to house'. distributing tracts and books, and presenting tbe subject in families. : i 's" --1 r !

Petitions to government wete gotten up and sign ed by women. During my recent visit in England, I was called tin the 'bedside-of an aged mother in Israel, wboee prayers and labors en earth are well nigh ended; burwbS had borne this sacred cause in her heart from ; th4 very-C' irrineocemeot. ) 1 was "never more impressed than' when, raised irir hef bed, ith quivering lips and streaming eyea, she lifted her hand solemnly in prayer to God, thar he would bless the labors for the cause of the slave in America, and at last bring 00 tbe final abolition of slavery throughout ihe world. ." ' --- --" Women, of America! we do hot know with what thrilling earnestoesa the bopes and tbe eyes of the world are fastened pnour country, and with what iDtensenesi they desire that, we should take decided ground for universal liberty... This sacred desire is spread through, tbe lower and working classes of other countries, as well as through those IB higher ranks. , - V'-,"i.;- ;fs- .. , i When I was in. England, although I dislinotly stated that xthe raising of money , was no part of my o' ject, and, 00 account of the state of my health, declined to . take any responsibility of that kind, yet money was actually pressed upon rnenn soKcited, from the mere impulse to du something for this .cause. Most, affecting letters were: re ceived from poor working men and vromen, inclos ing small, sums in postage stamps, for this olject.- h Nor has this fee'fing been ooofioed to England alone ; in France, .Switzerland, and Germany. there has been; the same deep emotion. A lady in Stuttgard undertook .to make a collection for an American anti-slavery fair, and while contributions from all ranks freely flowedin, e poor peasant and bis wife in the neighborhood, . took down, from the walls of their cottage two prints, probably the -only superfluities- they possessed on earth, and sent them to the collection.'.- - ' . . - - .1- f .... . .
