notes: "Holograph, signed. Amos Farnsworth encloses three articles that were recently published in the Courier and relate to the Constitution, which he wishes Anne Warren Weston \"thoughtfully to read.\" Farnsworth states: \"It is perfect nonsense to talk of destroying the Constitution as an antislavery measure. It is a proslavery measure decidedly.\" Farnsworth's object is to get rid of slavery. He says: \"The American & Mass. A. S. S. have given up the 'stuff of accomplishment' & everybody sees it to be so. The enemies of Garrison, of Old Org. of the A. S. cause are delighted with your present position; ...\" Furthermore, \"non resistance has placed the society in a somewhat ridiculous situation.\" He points out certain inconsistencies in the Society's position. Farnsworth believes that \"these ultraisms\" prevent accessions to the ranks of Old Organization. Farnsworth says: \"I am very sure that in 1845 in democratic U. States, power, aye, moral power, is very nearly in proportion to numbers.\""
