Samuel Joseph May says that he has been trying to get the New York Legislature to provide for an equitable distribution of the lands of the Onondaga Indians. He thinks that the "National Anti-Slavery Standard" should be discontinued at the end of the current volume, but that "The Liberator" should be continued.
