“Enclosed you have a list of the publications of this society, to which you will please direct any of our _Whig_ friends, who may desire a knowledge of the _truth_. I am gratified that our Abolition friends are to be found on the _Whig side_, rather than the _Loco Focos_; for the cause of the country and of humanity ought to go together. _If we can_ RIVET _ourselves firmly on one of these parties, we can gain our object. Be careful._ I am yours, &c. per Arthur Tappan. B. LE ROY.” New York, Nov. 1, 1838. This _Circular_ was addressed to P. W. Wesley, jr., and marked No. 126. How many _more_ were sent out, of course we do not know--it might be _hundreds_, or it might be _thousands_. It is no more than fair, however, to observe, that Mr. Arthur Tappan has disclaimed having authorized Mr. Le Roy the use of his name in this instance; which, indeed, is of very little consequence, and in no way affects the object we have in view by these references. Whether the gentlemen, who signed the note of July 16, 1834, were really so blind as not to see the _necessary_ connexion of their cause with politics, we cannot pretend to say. If they _did_ see it, their disclaimer, to say the least, was unbecoming. As men of common discernment, they _ought_ to have known as well then as now, that they could do nothing in this business, in the way they propose, without affecting the politics of the country; and that the movement _in toto_, from beginning to end, is political in its character and bearings. Certainly, since that time, the Abolitionists have better learned the position which they occupy. What shall we say? That their early disclaimer was a cloak to conceal their designs? We would rather suppose, that they did not know what they were about. Would, that we could say, they are equally ignorant now, that thereby they might be proved more innocent. Evidently, the disguise, if disguise it was, is thrown aside. By their own public avowals and acts, official and other, they are now fairly and openly in the political field. The following resolution was passed at the Annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, at New York, May, 1838: “_Resolved_, that we deprecate the organization of any Abolition political party; but that we recommend to Abolitionists throughout the country, to interrogate candidates for office, with reference to their opinions on subjects connected with the abolition of slavery; and to vote, irrespective of party, for those only who will advocate the principles of universal liberty.”
