In this letter to Amos A. Phelps, Gerrit Smith explains that what he meant by a ́new organizatioń was an abolitionist society with ́a constitution of the usual form, with the simple addition of a provision, that the members shall not vote for pro-slavery candidates.́ He says that such a new organization would not be needed where the members of a local society are all in favor of inserting such a provision in the constitution. He says he is not in favor of Phelpśs suggestion of a new organization, and is against the idea of a new weekly antislavery paper as such a paper will only compete with the Liberator
