we remove when we use the whole Hall, but the second story has a partition which cannot be removed and each department has its own stairs.  The farm house and the new building are in a cove.  The first story of the building will be provisionally[AF] used for our Conventions, till the substantial edifice within the most magnificent fairview will be established.  With this fairview we entreat most earnestly every reader to collect as many subscribers for this book as well as for the Periodical, as he or she is able to collect.  The book is to be paid for at the delivery, and the Periodical will cost $2 a year, money to be paid for half a year or a year at the delivery of the first number.

Whoever secures us five subscribers receives six copies.  And those who will act as agents, after having comprehended by studying this book our plan and adopt it, are regarded as our fellow-laborers, when they show practically that they belong to our Peace-Union.  If the expected exertions are made, we may be able to publish the first number of our Periodical at the commencement of the year 1860.

Our first Convention next month at the Peace Union Centre is announced in our Circular.  But readers of this book are requested to proclaim, that on the first day of November 1859, the second Convention will commence and continue for two weeks, and that only those persons of both sexes are invited to attend, who after having comprehended our mission are ready to act as missionaries or to support with their means our enterprises to establish what is needed at the Centre.  And for this purpose we intend to hold successively a number of Conventions.  The second could be attended by those who belong to the Cabinet and the Congress of Washington, or to any legislature.  Each Convention will last one or two weeks.  Those who comprehend this book will tell or write to those with whom they are acquainted, that although the contents of this book are of importance for any body, those who belong to the Government need most to understand them.  This book will be taken as the text-book, but also those who may have read it before many times, will receive in the Convention new light to understand it better and to hear many things which are not mentioned in the book.  There may be so many aroused to attend the Convention that all could not be accommodated.  Therefore whoever and whenever he determines to attend one of our Conventions, he is requested to write directly, and to give an exact direction, and put a letter stamp into his letter, and we will answer it, and tell, whether he could be accommodated in that or in any of the following Conventions.  Boarding is to be had as moderately as we can afford it.  The rule is to be observed also afterwards in this and in the next year, that whoever wishes to attend our Convention, is requested to write directly, and he will receive an answer when he could be accommodated.  Answer may come sooner or later, because it may depend upon circumstances,
