Description
--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 American Free Produce Association:--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 commercially." G. Smith in an unpublished reply says,
"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."
A kindred project has been entertained by some friends in this vicinity.
