              <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 G. Smith in an unpublished reply says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I and my family have refrained for 20 years from Slave produce.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>
