Communications: For The Signal Of Liberty: Tracts! Tracts!!

Jackson, March 12th, 1844. To THE FRIENDS OF LiBEBTY IN MlCHIoan: I hereby give notice tbat I have now 25,000 of the ablesf and best Liberty Tracts on hand consisting of 4 different kinds at $1 for 1000 pages, or #3,75 for 1000 Tracts of 4 pages each. This comes a trifle higher than the wholesale price at Boston which is SI for 1200 pages.- JBut after adding transportation and counting some risk in conveyance, &c, it amounts as near as may be to the same. And if all our Liberly friends in the State will exclusively and liberally patronize the Tract enterprisein ourown State, we can by this means soon establish permanent Tract depositories in different sections of the State which can be amply supplied with the latest and most efficiënt Tracts. Without these there can be no concert of action in this very important instrumentalUy for car ry ing forward our cause to speedy triumph. Without such harmony and concert of action any attempt to keep the State supplied will prove a failure. A general depository and some general supervisión will be found indispensable in order to succeed in the undertaking to much extent. The Tracts are ready but not vet paid for. Weshall thcrefore be absolutely obliged in all cases to require the money in advance, when the Tracts are talien. By such promptitude, we shall be enabled to start, sustain, and widely exiend a system of operation s which, if faitfully carried out in every town and school district will soon completely change the views and the action of the great body of our fellowcitizens in this State on the subject of the slavery in our country. Would not such an achievement be well worlh the efibrt? The 4 kinds of Tracts now ready for distribution, are thought to be as able as any now in print. They are entilled as follows, viz: "Tuk Ixfluenxe of the Sl'avk Power." 4 'The Tïrant Pauper- or, Where the woxey goes.""The South rule - the North pay." "Don't throw away your votes." Our iriends who want Tracts, had better Taise the móney and send for them immediately, as it is thought the entire edition will very soon be called for. It ishoped the friends will estímate the number of families in their respective towns and buy Tracts enough to supply every family with one of each kind. ïf a few make up the sum at first, others would doubtless be willing to contribute to equalize it, after the Tracts should be received. . In all cases where travelling Lecturefs purfchase Tracts for distribution in the towns, as in New York and New Englaud, it is believed all true liberty friends would cheerfully pay them a generous retail price by way of sustaining them in the doublé capacity of a lecturer and Tract distrbutor. If the friends in the town would purchase Tracts enough from time to time of travelling lecturers at such retail prices as would barely sustain them in travelling, there are no doubt able and well qualified lecturers whose hearts and heads are full of the subject and who would thus delight to enter the field. - But we have no Alvan Stewarts and Gerrit Smiths in our state, who are able to devote their whole time in travelling - lecturing &c, without a reasonable compensation. The lecturing and Tract dis tributing system might, in this manner be connected by equalizing the expense among the friends in the towns, so that the amount required from each would hard ly be feit. Butif a very few in acounty or a state should be left to bear up a burden that all should share to süstain, the cause would necessarily move slowly, and such individuals would be compelled to stand unöer too great a weight of responsibility,whicb might prove seriously injurious, and perhaps in some instances ruinous to But if no travelling lecturer and Tract distributor shall at present offer, don't waste a day, friends, for time is precious, the "slave is groaningand our country is mourning". They both caliy upon us for action, for wise and energetic action. "Delay not,delay not;" but mise the money - send for the Tracts - nobly volunteers among yourselves to dis tribute them from house to house among your neighbor and fellow-townsmen, and in the meantime talk and lecture as you go, omitting no opportunity to show the horrors of American slavery and the close connection, the great guilt, and the obvious duty of northebn as well as soulliern people in relation to it. Show them that nofthern people have been the slave makers, are now the slaveholders, while the south are but technically the slave onmers. Show them that the retributive judgments of Heaven, growing out of our guilty enslavement of 3,000,000 of innocent people, are now lowering over us. and threatening the nation with righteous and fearful destruction. You certainly can fríends, do vastly more in various vays to push on this cause, than you are apt to imagine.Your faiÜMvill increase with your jcTIONÍ Without ACTIOX, CONSISTENT ACtion", your failh in this enterprisc, as in every other good cause, will become a dead letter. Send for the Tracts - distribute them, and if your faith has been, buried, this will very soon cause its rèsurrcction! Try it, friends. Your fellovv-laborer,
