Thirty-Second Meeting of AASS

                 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY 

  The Thirty-Second Meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society will be held in the city of New York, on Tuesday, May 9th, at 10 o’clock A.M. 

  The Executive Committee urges upon all the members of the Society a prompt attendance at this meeting. The questions to come, in view of the almost certain ratification of the Anti-Slavery Amendment to the United States Constitution, to dissolve the Society at this annual meeting; while others would postpone such dissolution until the ratification of that Amendment is officially proclaimed; and others, still, advocate continuing the Society’s existence until all the civil rights of the negro are secured. 

  Besides this, which ever of these views receives the sanction of the Society, there is the further question whether the Standard shall be continued.

  On these and other accounts, our deliberations will be most interesting and important, and ought to assemble all the members and earnest friends of the Society. 

                                         Wm. Lloyd Garrison, President,    Wendell Phillips,  C. C. Burleigh, Secretaries.
