Yours truly J M McKern[*[1860*] PENNSYLVANIA STATE SOCIETY. The Twenty-fourth Annual Meeting of the PENNSYLVANIA ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY will be held in the Public Hall, at Kennett Square, Chester Co., on THURSDAY and FRIDAY, the 25th and 26th of October. The advanced position of our anti-slavery movement, and its increased importance as an element in the politics of the country, invest the enterprise, at this juncture, with especial interest, and expose it to peculiar dangers. Guided by wise counsels, no apprehensions need be entertained of its final and not distant triumph ; but made to serve the ends of party leaders, or conducted, even in good faith, on the basis of a mere outward expediency, a calamitous issue must be the inevitable result. To guard the cause against the perils which beset it, and, at the same time, afford it all the facilities needed for its promotion, will be the business of the Society at its approaching meeting. We invoke a full attendance of our members and friends, and invite the presence and co-operation of all others sincerely favorable to our object. Able speakers from our own State and from a distance,- among them W[m. LLOYD GARRISON, the honoured pioneer of our cause,] will be present to give added interest to the occasion. By order of the Executive Committee, JAMES MOTT, Chairman. J. M. McKim, Corresponding Secretary. [*We hope to have Miss Dickinson also. Shall we not?
