Essex County Abolitionists meet

March 6, 1840
  
   A notice appears about a two-day meeting of the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society, to be held in Lynn. Calls for a “strong rallying”; …”Let them evince that abolitionism has indeed ‘gone down’ into their understandings and consciences, and they are resolved to send it ‘down’ into the hearts of the oppressors.
