FREEDOM’S GRAND AND TRUE CELEBRATION OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The Board of Managers of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society announce to the unwearied friends of the millions yet groaning in bondage on the American soil, that the Fourth of July will be consecrated by the Society, as hitherto, by a Mass Celebration in the beautiful Grove at Abington, at which their presence, from the various sections of the State, is strongly solicited — the day and the occasion being appropriately theirs, to be used efficiently for the advent of that glorious day when ‘liberty shall be proclaimed throughout ALL the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.’
As the 4th of July, this year, occurs on Sunday, the celebration will take place on MONDAY, the 5th.
