TO THOSE WHO ARE UNWILLING TO SUPPORT SLAVERY.--During the last twelve years a store of free labor goods has been kept at the N.W. corner of Fifth and Cherry streets, in this city, for the convenience of those who wish to avoid the use of the fruits of slavery. It will scarcely be denied that the rejection of slave labor cotton, sugar and rice is a good testimony against slavery--fully as influential against that system as a refusal to pay militia fines or to purchase prize goods is against war. Will not those who are willing to make a sacrifice, if need be, to sustain their convictions on the latter subject, lend their influence in like manner against slavery? This is the only Grocery kept by a Friend in the city. Much care is taken to keep good Sugars, Syrups, Molasses, Coffees, Teas, Cocoa, Chocolate, Rice, Spices, Fruit, &c., and a variety of Dry Goods. The proprietor aims to sell as low as he can to sustain the business. With double the patronage, prices could be somewhat reduced; probably every article could be sold as low as similar goods in the market. Many are so sold now. Those who favor the Store with their custom, and procure their Teas, Coffees, Spices, Chocolate and Cocoa, &c., will find the articles good, and free from adulteration. On hand, Dried Peaches of superior quality. GEORGE W. TAYLOR.

EDITOR:—It is under a most solemn sense of duty and the love of God, that one, who has passed through great personal and family trials, for pleading the cause of the slave, and who may have still greater ones in store , now addresses you, earnestly desiring to strike one blow more, (may God make it effectual!) to subserve the all-important cause of crushed and bleeding humanity. For your serious and prayerful consideration, I shall make the following inquiries or suggestions. 1. If sugar, molasses, rice, cotton, and tobacco were produced by free or compensated labor alone in these United States, (or, if you choose, to estimate throughout the world,) what would be now, or have been, for the last 10, 20, or 50 years in these New-England States, the prices in market for these commodities? 2. As it has been, and is now, in point of fact, for a specified time, what is and has been the cost of the productions to New Englanders, on an average? 3. Will not the result show conclusively, how much, if any, we are actually in debt to the slave who have used these articles made cheaper by tears and blood, than they would otherwise have been? 4. If we have bought these articles, because we thought it more convenient than to obtain them by compensated labor, or to dispense with them entirely—however unintentional or unconscious of it, we may have been—are we not justly chargeable with the most direct and gross injustice to the slave, (in so far,)—and does it not become us most solemnly to confess, especially to God and the slaveholder, this our error and our sin, and henceforth to lay out or lay by, or let upon usury for the slave all the profits of slavery that we are conscious of now or hereafter possessing; praying the slaveholder to go and do likewise—not only rendering the slave himself, but his stolen goods, the property of his own acquiring. The foregoing was written some weeks since with the expectation of sending it then to the editor of the Liberator; but, since that time, I have read several accounts of attempts being made to establish a free labor system among the anti-slavery ranks from the National Anti-Slavery Standard. I am one of those who desire to purchase or use only the products of free labor, so far as I can know or obtain them hereafter; and, at the present, I am not quite sure that slave produce can be obtained at a less price than free labor produce, under the same or similar circumstances. Perhaps these items may be worth reviewing, though the reader may discover nothing new or striking to his own mind; and he is at liberty to use them as he sees fit.

Title A name given to the resource Free Produce Convention, 11.15.1839 and 11.16.1839 (Meeting) Description An account of the resource BOSTON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1839. FREE PRODUCE CONVENTION. The first annual meeting of the American Free Produce Association was held in Philadelphia on the 15th and 16th of October. More than 100 delegates and friends were in attendance. Three were present, we perceive, from Massachusetts, among whom was our much esteemed friend WM. BASSETT, who presided over the deliberations of the Convention. Letters were read from GERRIT SMITH, ALVAN STEWART, D.L. CHILD and others. The Executive Committee, in their annual report, while they lament that so little has been accomplished, express their belief 'that the cause of abstinence has taken a deeper and deeper hold on the public mind, and that the action of the friends of the cause throughout the country manifests a greatly increased interest.' Emancipation in the West Indies, and the efforts of the friends of humanity in Great Britain to enable the produce of the labor of freemen to come into competition with slave produce, are adverted to as events calculated to inspire the friends of the enterprise with hope and confidence in its success. The efforts of the committee to establish stores for the exclusive sale of free goods have not as yet met with success. They express the belief, that beneficial results would flow from the creation of a fund for the encouragement of the production of cotton by free labor, and that by the judicious application of such a fund, the quantity so raised might not only be greatly increased, but that at present produced be more effectually secured for the benefit of the conscientious consumer or manufacturer. Such a fund, they think, might be well employed in purchasing free cotton, which sometimes comes into market in larger quantities than individuals are able to purchase— in sending well qualified agents to the South to collect free cotton, which the committee know to be raised by persons, some of whose names are in their possession— and in the payment of a premium for  free labor cotton. say from five to ten per cent. where the market price of that grown by slaves. If a supply of the raw material could be obtained, there are abundant facilities for manufacturing at hand. Several proprietors of extensive cotton factories have expressed a desire to exclude slave-grown cotton from their works; preferring, at a sacrifice, to encourage the honest labor of paid freemen. A resolution, instructing the committee to raise such a fund, was adopted by the association. Among the resolutions adopted were the following: Resolved, That the exaction of labor without wages is a violation of the right of compensation, guaranteed by the Creator when he pronounced the sentence, 'in the sweat of thy face shalt thou ear bread,' and that no power inferior to that which conferred can revoke the grant. Resolved, That in the language of John C. Calhoun, 'he who earns the money, who digs it out of the earth with the sweat of his brow, has a just title to it against the universe;' that 'no one has a right to touch it with at his consent, except his government, and that only to the extent of its legitimate wants, and to take more is robbery;' that, therefore, he who deprives the slave of the fruits of his toil is a robber, and he who partakes of his plunder shares his guilt. Resolved, That we call earnestly upon those abolitionists who do not abstain from the products of slave-labor, to reflect on the glaring inconsistency of protesting against slavery as an immorality, and yet paying for its support, and that we press upon their consciences the inquiry whether thousands of slaves are not kept in bondage by <xsl-text></xsl-text>their <xsl-text></xsl-text>participation in the fruits of robbery. And, whereas a lamentable apathy on this subject extensively exists among abolitionists, therefore Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to correspond with Anti-Slavery Societies, for the purpose of inviting free discussion in respect to the duty of abolitionists in relation thereto. Henry Grew, C.C. Burleigh, and Wm. Bassett were appointed the committee. Resolved, That we hall with joy the complete emancipation of the slaves in the British West Indies, and the formation of the British India Society, as events calculated to have an important bearing on the cause of freedom generally, and on our enterprise in particular, for the prosecution of which, it will greatly increase the facilities, by bringing the productions of free labor in both Eastern and Western India into competition with those of slave labor, and thus multiplying the sources of supply of free goods. Resolved, That a delegation be appointed from this Society, to the Anti-Slavery Convention for the World, which is to be holden in London, that Summer. In accordance with the last resolution, Daniel Neal, Charles Marriot, Abraham L. Pennock, Lucretia Mott, William Basset, James Mott, Charles C. Burleigh, John G. Whittier and Sarah Pugh, were appointed to represent this Association in that Convention. The Executive Committee was authorized to fill any vacancies that may occur, and add to the delegation. Resolved, That the Corresponding Secretary be instructed to open a correspondence with the British India Society, with reference to the objects of our Association, and to assure that body of the sincere gratification with which we have heard of its formation, as well as the important assistance to our cause which we anticipate from its labors. Resolved, That for the purpose of affording information to persons desirous of avoiding slave-grown productions, the Executive Committee be directed to prepare and publish a list of the places or countries where articles, the result of remunerated labor, are raised, or whence they can be obtained, together with a list of Stores in the United States, at which free goods can be purchased.
