The Philanthropist published weekly by the Anti-Slavery Society in Cincinnati Ohio announces publication details from the Main and Sixth street offices. Printer Samuel A Alley is listed with apparent notices about correspondence and business inquiries.
The poem contrasts slave labor in the south with free labor in the north and condemns slaveholding. It depicts a peasant at his door on an April morning and warns slanderers who claim freedom exists only in distant lands. The piece urges that slavery is not in the reader’s land and invokes fiery retribution for oppressors.
The document records a late annual convention of the New York State Anti-Slavery Society urging candidates to declare abolitionist positions on slavery in the District of Columbia and New York. Speakers argue for voter pressure, petitions, and county action to end slavery and seek legislative change while avoiding formal party organization. The excerpt also includes a Friends meeting anti slavery address urging religious duty to end bondage and a moral appeal to Christian churches.
The Quarterly Ant- Review reprints a piece titled Is Slavery from beneath, or from above? in pamphlet form. The document is praised as powerful and among Mr. Weld's strongest efforts, with anticipation of further extracts and discussion in the North on the momentous issue.
