At the Worcester County convention, the officers of the Worcester County north and south division societies were directed to district the county and find lecturers for each district. The districting committee invited May to lecture in the district which included Sturbridge, Northbridge, Charlton, Dudley, Auburn, Webster, and Oxford. A petition to Congress not to admit another slave state to enter the Union was urged, as well as a petition to the Legislature to protest against the annexation of Texas, and a plea to the town societies for funds.
