&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;IBERVLLE PARISH, La., Aug. 1, 1865.&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;To the Freedmen's Aid Association of New Orleans&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;GENTLEMEN—I am a planter of twelve years' experience. This year I am working twelve hands, six men and six women; my laborers are to get one fourth of the net proceeds of the crops. They have a full understanding of their interest in the said crops Our contract was made on the 1st of February last, and the result so far is a complete success; we have to day 85 arpents of cotton; 25 arpents of sugar&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;canes; 75 arpents of corn, all in perfect condition. I don't mention the vegetable crops.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Under the old system ten arpents to the hand was considered a fair result, and more than three fourths of the plantartions failed to come to that standard.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;My labores are all good people, behaving well, having good common sense; they are honest and true to their family. Besides the crop in common, they have raised for their private account small crops of corn and vegetables. They have poultry, etc. of their own.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Not a single difficulty has occurred among them since they have agreed to work on my farm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remain, gentlemen,&lt;br /&gt;respectfully yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="left"&gt;From the South Shields (Eng.) Gazette.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;We rejoice to hear that a movement is making in North Shields on behalf of the Slave. The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;opprobrium&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;of this civilized age, and of our Anglo-Saxon race, is, that slavery still exists in any land owning that race as masters. The foulest disgrace that ever hung over the sacred names of Christianity and Freedom has been indicted by the fact, that in lands where men pretend most to value their names, the degradation and pollution of a legalized bondage continues to be cherished and defended. British freemen have already done something to deliver themselves from the sin and shame of this system. They have subscribed large sums, and have entered into solemn treaties with slave countries having in view the mitigation and ultimate abolition of slavery; but, in spite of all, the horrors of the slave-trade never were more dreadful than at the present moment, and the cruelties perpetrated among slave-owners never more disgraceful. Free trade, which, as a general good, we have always advocated, has proved a source of grievous oppression to the slave. The demand which has sprung up in consequence, for the productions of many countries tilled by slaves, has caused their proportional oppression. The lash of the taskmaster has been plied more severely, and additional ships have been chartered for the slave-trade to a surprising extent, to supply the waste of human life thus occasioned. We are unwilling to do anything to infringe on the principles of free-trade; but can we do nothing to show our abhorrence of this system of wrong - of wholesale robbery and murder. It may be thought of a whole country into one channel by the force of a movement originating in mere benevolence; and yet we think nothing were more noble as a spectacle than the sight which Britain might present, were her households generally to refuse to partake of any commodities that had been the fruit of slave-labour. Self-denial is a Christian virtue; and if it should cause some slight curtailment of the luxuries of the table, or even a trifle of additional expense, true lovers of liberty would be more than compensated by the satisfaction that they had thus contributed to prepare for the final emancipation of the negro race. We are glad to learn, however, that the virtue of the British public need not encounter even such a test as this. Measures are talking to secure an ample supply of free-labour produce, which may be obtained by our tradesmen from London and Liverpool. Let our townsmen invariably apply for free-labor&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;cottons of their drapers, and for free-labor sugars of their grocers - let them urge the necessity of procuring them as a matter of principle, and make known their determination to have them, and there is no doubt that means will be found to satisfy their reasonable demands. The plan we have now hinted at "is enough," says Elihu Burritt, "to abolish all the human slavery in existence. The way is easy and effective. It is the straight high-road of consistency, from which the sincere and honest abolitionist may not turn to the right, left, or backward. If every man, woman and child; who denounces slavery, should walk in that way, the fetters of the slave would burst from his limbs like singed strings of tow. The fires of the forge, whereat his manacles were fashioned, would go out. The many-thonged scourge would be hung up to the abhorrence of the world, with the old relics of man's inhumanity to man. Dragons and beasts of the wilderness would lair by day in the baracoons of the slave-trappers on the African coast; and all the prowling kidnappers in the world would confess their occupation gone." "Several merchants and manufacturers, and a large number of shopkeepers, are now co-operating in the plan for dealing a blow at slavery, by substituting Free for Slave-grown articles." It is not long since we were called to record the transmission of largely signed petitions to parliament on the subject of the Slave-trade from the Northern Borough, and now, we understand, the ladies of North and South Shields are getting up a spirited memorial to the Queen, which, we doubt not, will meet with universal support.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p align="left"&gt;FRIEND GARRISON:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;I perceive among other interesting matters in the Liberator of the 10th, a communication freom Lea. H. Gause, of Pennsylvania, solisting your views and opinions isn regard to the products of slave-labor by yourself and other advocates of the anti-slavery cause. Seeing no reply in the last number, as intimated, and anpposing it to be crowded out by other matters, and having given the subject considerable reflection myself, without being able to arrive at any given point to which conscience would say, 'Thus far shaft thou coine,' (with safety,) 'and no further—and being desirous of more light, as well as others, on the subject, I should be glad if you or some others would freely express your views.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Friend Gause says—'To me, there has been no anti-slavery duty more clear, than that of abstaining' (from the produce of slave labor)—and signifies that he has practically adopted the motto of 'No Union with Slaveholders'—meaning to be understood, no doubt, as giving no voluntary aid to the system of slavery whatever.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Whether the writer keeps clear from any participation, and in any way from contributing to the support of slavery, because in more favorable circumstances, than many others who do not entirely obtain—or form fixed principles to abide the consequences, cost what it may—is a very different thing, in my opinion. But as that 'duty is clear' to the writer of the communication, I hope its rays will shine into the minds of all the haters of slavery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;I think there are few persons, if any, in this section of the country, who have suffered more for the slave then myself; and I am yet suffering, in some degree, pressing onward to the extent of my ability in behalf of the down-trodden; and if there is any thing more that I can do, than what I am doing, to benefits the cause, I am anxious to be made acquainted with it. I have, for a long time, made use of free labor produce, when it came in competition with slave labor produce; and I often pay higher prices for the former. But, as slave produce and taxation for slavery comes in so many forms, I think it is very difficult for me to avoid participating in it altogether. For instance—I have, for the last year and a half, spent more than three-fourths of my time lecturing on the subject of slavery, in different sections of this country. Much of the food placed before me, I have reason to believe, is mixed with the products of slave labor. If I ask whether it is free or slave labor, I get no satisfactory answer. At night, the only had can sleep in is mostly compesed of the produce of slave labor. Most of the means by which I sustain myself and family, are the little profits I derive ferom the sale&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;of anti-slavery publications, pristed on slave-grown cotton. I have a family to clothe and feed, with my limited means, which compels me to procure the cheaped articles, to meet their necessaties as well as I can and it is mixed with the products of unpaid labor.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;I subscribe for an anti-slavery, or say other reformatory periodical. It comes to me through a post office, managed by a slaveholder, printed on slave-grown cotton paper.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;I write a letter to my wife, or to you, friend Garrison I and what do I write on, but paper manufactured from cotton raised by slave labor! And it reaches its destination by the directions of a slaverholder—&amp;amp;c. &amp;amp;c.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Again, if we try to evade the use of these slave grown articles, and substitute imported articless in their place, we are paying a tax to support a slaveholding government, all steeped in innocent blood, and now carrying on a disbelical war against a freeble government, for the sake of establishing parmanently the traffis in helpless men, women and children on its soil, where it had been abolished by a half civilised people.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Yours, for the annihilation of slavery and war by all right means, &lt;br /&gt;JONATHAN WALKER.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p align="left"&gt;We give elsewhere an article which exhibits very encouraging result from experiments with the new Chinese Sugar Cane in Wabash county in this State last season.—One or two statements of the writer are so remarkable that we quote them here, by way of inviting special attention to the subject:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;"I am well convinced that in 1860 the Southern planter will have no sale for his sugar in the State of Illinois. From present indications, there will be 100 acres of Chinese Sugar Cane raised in Wabash county, worth $10,000."&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Let us figure a little upon this estimate. There are a hundred countries in the State, each of which probably will, on an average, annually consume sugar to the amount of $10,000, and if all were to raise their own, as Wabash seems likely to do, there would be an annual saving to the State of $1,000,000. Very soon, too, our population will have so increased as to consume double this amount of sugar, and then the saving will be $2,000,000, with a constant increase thereafter. This would be rather an important item to add to the agricultural productions of our State. And if the sugar culture proves successful, we shall in all probability grow a large surplus for exporation in the course of eight or ten years. It would be one of the most remarkable developments of free labor, in this century, if the Mississippi Valley should be able, at the end of the next fifteen years, to supply the sugar market of the world.—&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;Ex&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;span&gt;FREE LABOR PRODUCE—HIGH COMPLIMENT TO THE BLACK PLANTERS OF ST. CROIX. At this time, when the great question of the capability of free blacks to maintain themselves and successfully conduct business is more widely mooted than ever, it may not be uninteresting to mention that the cargo of sugar and molasses received at this port in the L.P. Snow, and sold by auction on Thursday last, the 29th ult., was pronounced by the company present to be&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;in finer order and better packed than any similar cargo ever offered for sale&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;in Boston.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;The product was wholly the labor of free blacks in the Island of St Croix, and brought prices which indicated its excellence—the sugar at $8 50 a $8 80 per hundred lbs., and the molasses at 881/4 a 40 1/2c per gallon. Chenery &amp;amp; Co. were the consignees of this cargo, and were generally felicitated upon the handsome manner in which their correspondents sent their produce to market.—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;Boston Transcript, June&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;d.&lt;/i&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The manner in which the Fair is to be conducted in Salem, as advertised below, will commend it to the approbation and patronage of all classes. May the sale of the articles be in proportion to the claims of that cause to which the proceeds are to be applied!—Then not a single article will remain unsold.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;sec-title&gt;SALEM ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR.&lt;/sec-title&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Salem Female Anti-Slavery Society respectfully give notice that their annual sale will be held at the Masonic Hall in Washington Street, (very near the eastern rail road depot,) to commence on Christmas afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and continue through the succeeding day and evening.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The friends of emancipation, generally, are cordially invited to be present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No labor or sacrifice will be spared to render this sale rich, elegant, and in every way worthy of patronage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An extensive variety of useful articles will be offered, embracing almost every small article of gentlemen's, ladies', and children's wear and use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Slavery books, shells, flowers, and dolls, very splendid, some in fashionable, and others in rich, friendly attire. Rug work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the great variety of ornamental articles, will be found many ingenious exhibitions of slavery, in its most unkindly and touching aspects.&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Slavery devices and mottos of every description, in velvet embroidery, silk, bead and rug work—some articles very splendid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The refreshment stand will be found to contain every article of common, and many of rich and rare, fruit and confectionary; (free labor.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the Society proposes to hold this fair annually, until emancipation, diligent care will be taken to secure the favorable notice of the community. The useful articles will be thoroughly made,—indifferent needle-work being suppressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lavishness and extravagant usages which have been practised and encouraged in some instances in fairs for benevolent purposes, will be strictly avoided. The articles will never exceed, and in some cases will fall much below the usual cost. Change will be accurately returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funds will be promptly appropriated to the Anti-slavery cause. In what specific manner, has not yet been considered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The proposed Anti-Slavery Fair was held on Thursday, the 22d of December. The choice of that day was accidental; but it was a pleasant and appropriate manner of celebrating the Anniversary of the Pilgrims. The convenient and well-lighted hall called the Artist's Gallery, was duly prepared for our reception, and we had not the slightest reason to complain of reluctance or want of courtesy on the part of the proprietor. The Hall was filled with visitors at an early hour, and continued full until late in the evening. Very many of these were not abolitionists, but belonged to a large and increasing class of the community, who have been strongly abolitionized by Anti-Slavery efforts. Not a few of the wives and daughters of 'gentlemen of property and standing' were among the purchasers. A piece of the old oak of the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Constitution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was offered for sale; and we regretted that we had not placed beside it the relics of the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anti-Slavery Sign,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;destroyed by a Patrician Mob in 1834.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around the Hall was placed in large letters the motto: 'On this day did our FATHERS&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;land&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on the ROCK OF FREEDOM; let us&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;stand&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;firmly on this Rock.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cake-table was loaded with varieties of cake, made of sugar not manufactured by slaves, and near it was placed the motto, FREE LABOR, One of our friends sent a jar of deliciously fresh&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Grapes,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and a dozen Pomegranites, accompanied by a very pleasant note, expressing the hope that 'the enslaved children of Africa might soon be enabled to sit under their own&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;vine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and fig-tree, with none to molest or make them afraid.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was great variety in the articles, and many of them were very handsome and tasteful. The ladies have ever regarded the pecuniary benefit derived from these sales as but&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of several reasons in their favor. The main object is to keep the subject before the public eye, and by every innocent expedient to promote perpetual discussion. We wish to bring Truth and Falsehood in continual&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;juxtaposition,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for we know full well that 'truth never came off the worse in a fair and open encounter.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To promote this favorite object, various mottoes and devices were stamped upon the articles offered for sale. Bunches of quills bore the label, 'Twenty-five Weapons for Abolitionists.' On the wafer-boxes was written, 'The doom of Slavery is&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;sealed.'&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;On one side of the pen-wipers was inscribed, 'Wipe out the blot of Slavery;' on the other, 'Plead the cause with thy Pen.' On some needle-books was printed, 'May the use of our needles prick the consciences of slaveholders;' others were made in the form of small shoes, and on the soles was written, 'Trample not on the Oppressed.' Some watch-cases bore the inscription, 'The political economist counts time by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;years,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the suffering slave reckons it by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;minutes;'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on others was written, 'The greatest friend of Truth is&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Time,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;her greatest enemy is Prejudice.' Small silken bags of perfume, for bureau drawers, bore the motto, 'The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;woman&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.' The iron-holders were marked,&lt;br /&gt;'Anti-Slave-&lt;i&gt;Holders.'&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Small hearts cut from a knot of white oak were called, 'Hearts of Oak for Abolitionists.' A cradle-quilt was made of patch-work in small stars; and on the central star was written with indelible ink;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Mother! when around your child&lt;br /&gt;You clasp your arms in love,&lt;br /&gt;And when with grateful joy you raise&lt;br /&gt;Your eyes to God above—&lt;br /&gt;Think of the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;negro&lt;/i&gt;-mother,&lt;br /&gt;When&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;her&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;child is torn away—&lt;br /&gt;Sold for a little slave— oh, then,&lt;br /&gt;For&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;poor mother pray!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ornamental stands for alumets, to light candles, bore the motto, 'LIGHT, whether material or moral, is the best of all Reformers.' Book-marks of various colored ribbons were printed with sentences similar to the following: 'Speak the Truth in Love;' 'Remember those in Bonds.' There were some very handsome Contribution-boxes, of bronzed copper: they were surmounted by a kneeling slave; on one side was the open Bible, and the rays that emanated from it were melting the links of a chain; on the other side was inscribed the motto, 'God loveth a cheerful giver.' The candy, and various other articles of confectionary for children, were wrapped in paper, on which were printed the following verses:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come, little ones! for the sweets ye see,&lt;br /&gt;Were made by the labor of the FREE;&lt;br /&gt;And freely to-day ye may partake,&lt;br /&gt;Even for the toil-worn bondman's sake!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the price you pay perchance may save&lt;br /&gt;From the cruel scourge some tortured slave:—&lt;br /&gt;(Your friends will explain how a single cent&lt;br /&gt;May cause the steeled heart to relent.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And year after year, as Christmas comes,&lt;br /&gt;With its papers of pleasant sugar-plums,&lt;br /&gt;Ever be careful to enquire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Respecting the fact of the&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;LABORER'S HIRE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work-bags were manufactured in commemoration of little Med's case, decided by Judge Shaw, in a manner so honorable to himself and his country. On one side was the representation of a Slave kneeling before the figure of Justice; underneath, these sentences were printed in golden letters: 'Slavery was abolished in Massachusetts, by the adoption of the Bill of Rights as a part of the Constitution, A.D. 1780.' Slavery says of this law, 'Lo, 'tis cold and dead, and will not harm me.' Anti-Slavery replies, 'But with my breath I can revive it!' Then follows, 'The adjudication on the case of a slave brought into Massachusetts from another State, fifty-six years afterward, Aug. 26, A.D. 1836.' On the other side of the bag, the Arms of Massachusetts surmount the following lines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Old Massachusetts yet&lt;br /&gt;Retains her earlier fires!&lt;br /&gt;Still on our hills are set&lt;br /&gt;The altars of our sires!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our 'fierce democracies'&lt;br /&gt;Have yet their strength unshorn!&lt;br /&gt;And giant power shall see&lt;br /&gt;Its Gaza-gates uptorn.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;August&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;26,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;A.D.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;1836,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a small 'Thermometer of the Heart,' fastened upon a pillar of white sugar. The glass tube was filled with rose-colored spirits of wine, which rose with the warmth of the hand. The scale from freezing point upward was thus graduated:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ladies wish to return their warm acknowledgments to friends in neighboring towns, and to several gentlemen for their kind donations and active assistance. Among these gentlemen we would gratefully remember John E. Fuller, Orra Goss, and John C. Smith. DONATIONS—&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;East Bradford, $23,75; Lynn, $50; Amesbury, $5; Bedford, $37; Hingham, $6; Andover, $13; Haverhill, $20; Reading, in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;money&lt;/i&gt;, $5; 2 Ladies from Washington, D.C., $2; South Weymouth, $7,08; Weymouth, 6,28; Juvenile&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Slavery Sewing Circle, $25,61; Cambridge-port, $38.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The amount of money received was $550;* and the next morning the ladies paid all that remained of their pledge of one thousand dollars to the Massachusetts Society!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L.M.C&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>For the National Era. &lt;br /&gt;LIBERTY BAZAAR, PHILADELPHIA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BAILEY: The Liberty party ladies of Philadelphia organized themselves, about sixteen months since, as an association for raising funds by their own industry in aid and furtherance of the great anti-slavery movement. Their number was small and their resources very limited, but they were heartily in earnest, and determined to succeed. With very little assistance from the country, the products of their own labor yielded about five hundred dollars at their first sale, which was held in December, 1845. This first success, so great in proportion to their means, and the very favorable state of public sentiment which it indicated, induced immediate reorganization for the year that has just closed, and awakened zeal, industry, and hopefulness, proportioned to the cheering results of their first effort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the stock produced and collected by the association during the year, they have the pleasure of acknowledging very generous contributions from our friends in England and Ireland. A correspondence was opened early in the season with Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham, and, chiefly through his agency, a large number of towns in England and the city of Belfast in Ireland, contributed and forwarded a very large, tasteful, and valuable stock of goods for our sale, comprising, among a vast variety of elegant and useful articles, autographs of Lord Brougham, Hannah More, Mrs. Opic, Maria Edgeworth, Father Matthew, Isaac Taylor, Horace Walpole, Louis XV, Mary Howitt, and many others; among which, was the last letter written by Thomas Clarkson; a large and handsome variety of papier mache articles, made specially for our Bazaar; a rich collection of oil paintings, drawings, and superior prints; Colebrookdale castings of exquisite beauty; a large lot of china, with anti-slavery devices; free labor goods, of superior quality and beauty of fabric; splendid shawls, table covers, sofa cushions, and wax dolls; knitting, netting, and crochet work; and a very abundant supply of children's clothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These goods, unfortunately, did not arrive until after the sale of our own collection had closed, and the holyday season had passed by, and, with it, the best opportunity for the disposal of them; but they were immediately opened, and offered for sale by the ladies of the Bazaar Committee, in a store room on Chesnut street, in the customary manner of retail merchants, and sales were, in this way, effected in a few days, amounting to about twelve hundred dollars; leaving still upon our hands a considerable balance of these goods undisposed of, but available for our next year's sale. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our entire receipts from the sales of the season exceed eighteen hundred dollars, which, when reduced by the custom-house duties and incidental expenses, will yet leave us a very handsome fund for the benevolent purposes of our organization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SARA J. ELDER, &lt;br /&gt;Corresponding Secretary. &lt;br /&gt;JANUARY 30, 1847.</text>
