Another Town Meeting is at hand. You are invited to meet at the Hall in Peterboro, Tuesday evening, 20th inst., to nominate of officers. Are there not others also, who will meet with us? Will not those, who left us, last Fall, to vote for the opponents of abolition and for the open enemies and revilers of the African race, meet with us! Time was, when we were all agreed, that an anti-abolitionist was not fit to be even a pathmaster. Then, God blessed us. Then, we grew rapidly in numbers, strength, usefulness. Should we not again be agreed, that, come what will, and however strong our temptations, we will never elect, even to the humblest civil office, any other than a thorough and an out and out abolitionist?
We scarcely need add, that we cannot trust the abolition of any man, who is not the enemy of all oppressions. The abolitionists, whom we trust, hate 1and-monopoly, tariff's, wars, the rum-traffic, and secret societies; and keep themselves as clean as a new pin of all connexion with those churches, which are connected with slaveholders directly, or through Presbyteries, Associations, or Conferences.
