JOSEPH H. BEAL has removed his store from 41 Fulton street, where he formerly kept, to 376 Pearl street, New York, where he intends to keep a general assortment of goods, the product of free labor; including Groceries, Dry Goods, Cotton Cloths, Shirting, and Paper made of linen rags, which he will sell, wholesale and retail, upon the best terms he can afford.&#13;
&#13;
The establishment will probably be the most extensive of any of the kind in the United States; and the diligence, punctuality, and industry of the proprietor, who has engaged in the business from principle, will give satisfaction to all who have dealings with him. We hope this store will be extensively patronized.</text>

                <text>--We see in F. Douglass' paper a letter to Gerrit Smith from our valued friend and contributor H. Miles of Monkton, Vermont, suggesting "the propriety of organizing an&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;American Free Produce Association:--&lt;/em&gt;of holding a convention during the fall or winter,"--"Let us," says H.M. "have a demonstration that there is some 'resolution in our resolves' to have no union with slaveholders, politically ecclesiastically or&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;commercially&lt;/em&gt;." G. Smith in an unpublished reply says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I and my family have refrained for 20 years from Slave produce. IT IS ONE OF THE WAYS BY WHICH UNDER GOD, I AM ABLE TO MAINTAIN MY ANTI-SLAVERY PRINCIPLES. I should be much pleased to see such an Association as you speak of."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A kindred project has been entertained by some friends in this vicinity.</text>

                <text>FREE LABOR PRODUCE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Monkton, Vermont, 9th mo. 2d, 1853&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;ESTEEMED FRIEND:--I have been a member of the Free Produce Association of Friends of N.Y. Yearly Meeting for some years, but regret we have to report, year after year, of the existence of so much&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;apathy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;amongst those that it is reasonable to expect would manifest the opposite--that is,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;interest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;It is now gratifying to observe others are taking the subject in hand. The "Wesleyan" is discussing it, the "Burlington Courier" admits an article occasionally in support of the doctrine of abstinence; and thinking people hereaway are beginning to inquire if there is not some other way by which they can procure cotton than by going to the slaveholder for it? The "Non-Slaveholder" is curculated here, and is doing good; may be it will be enlarged some day, so as to do more good. Some of the friends of the free labor movement are desirous of carrying their views more thoroughly into practice than they can by individual action alone. They are beginning to think the "outsiders" might have a free labor association. I have written to Gerrit Smith on the subject, and he has returned me a favorable answer, and has sent my letter to F. Douglass's Paper. The proposition is to form an American Free Produce Association, admitting all that are willing to conform to the conditions of membership, to raise a little capital for investment in free labor goods, cotton especially, and have it manufactured, so as, if possible, to offer it at the price of that from slave labor cotton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am induced to make this application to three, believing the Pennsylvania Freeman has heretofore advocated this plan of antislavery action, for information in relation to it, viz: Is the "American Free Produce Association," that has held its meeting in Philadelphia, still in being? Is it aiming at extending its influence into ts or other regions? If it has suspended its operations, would it be desirable to reorganize upon a plan that would admit all those friendly to it, &amp;amp;c.? Its constitution and such other statistics as thee thinks would be acceptable to us here, will be thankfully received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allow me to inquire, also, do not the labors of our transatlantic friends in this department increase the inducement for exertion on this side the ocean? And do not the plans developed in the "Cotton Plant" against us give an additional inducement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best apology I have at hand for this communication, is a desire to co-operate in my feeble way with those laboring for the abolition of slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remain, respectfully, thy friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HENRY MILES</text>
