New York, Sept. 28th 1850.

Friend Douglass:ーI will do all I can for the Star in this city, for it is the only paper, edited by a colored man in this slaveholding country, that will dare speak the sentiments of his soul. The crisis has come that calls for every colored man and woman to do something in their own defence. Meetings should be held in every town and county and the watch-word should be, Liberty or death. The Southern slave-driver has become more bold and daring since the passage of the slave bill. Every city and town in the North is infested with these men, and the colored people can no longer meet in religious worship, without discovering the man-stealer in their midst.

Yours for liberty and truth,

L. TilmonTilmon, Levin
