Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1845-11-14

sponsible for the others peculiar tenets any
more than if they had met together for the
purpose Of raising a log cabin, If Elisha's
Inference is correct, and | must follow his
philosophy, and his house were to get on fire,
it.would be dangerous for me to throw a
bucket of water upon it, because in so doing
should become an ''Evangelical." Robert
Owen is an abolitionist and he also is an In
fdeLs VIM. Lloyd Garrison is also an abo-
%litionist, therefore he is an Infdel. Elisha
Bates processes TO be an abo!itionist. and
hence he too is an HlfdeL. This is his rea-
soDing, but to me it is a little as Ovens
Philosophy appeared 10 Garrison, "sadly de-
fectiye." But these men are trying to over
turn the restraints O. law g. order. Well what
law are they trying to overturn! answer
the law that holds women an,. children as
chattles personal in the hands oftheir o,yners;
the former for purposes unspeakably vile, and
the other for 'stock." The order which they
wish to o|verturn is of two kinds, first, that
which is secured by the fear of being muir
dored, for the order that is now in the south
is maintained only by the sword OF professed
Evangelicals, and in its stead, they wish to
establish, or let God establish, that order and
harmony which always follows as a legiti-
mate consequence, the living out his law
The other order which they wish to overturn
is the clerical Qrder, with Elisha Bates at its
head; for it is a palpable fact that while they
preach their damning heresy and build up
their evangelical unions, the slaye can never
go free; and | should hail the day of their
overthrow as a jubilee Of nations, and "a fit
theme for angelic choirs, God evidently de-
signed this earth to be the theatre of univer-
sal happiness and peace, but it has been ours
ed by an order more deadly and consuming
in its nature than the Locusts of Egypt. The
history of this world, is but a history of des-
t%ructive wars brought about by The preaching
of this order, and hence | could rejoice in
their overthrow as a great public blessing,
and | am surprised that Abel Pickering will
lend his time and influence in circulating a
publication which has for its object thebuild-
ing up Of an organization which will not adj
nit him as a member, or fellowship him as a
christian. But Pilot and Herod shook hands
on a memorable occasion.
Elisha says these ''IrfdeLs' repudiate the
marriage institution, / have never been able
to discover any thing of the kind; had | the
accuteness of vision so bountifully lavished
on Elisha Bates, ! might perhaps discover it.
| once heard John G. Wattlcs lecture on COM
munity; and he said, "whutever interferes
with the marriage relation is wrong But
one thing | do know, and that is, that the
Evangelicals repudiate the God ordained in
s%titution of marriage, and compel men and
women 10 herd together like Jrutes, that they
keep women for ''JreederS, and their children
for stock, and that they sell this stock to the
trader In human flesh for money to buy BIZ
bles, build meeting houses, aud pay their
Priests. Yes, they sell little babies, the
very same kind of which Jesus spoke and
said ''of such is the kingdom of Heaven"

souls, they purchase communion wine. Can
any thing be more ridiculous, or more crimi-
nal! Yet the pious knaves will lean back
from their dinner tables Of stolen bread and
butter, and charge us with trying to o%verturn
the ''restraints of Law and order" They
will get up consecratod and anointed Evan
gelical Christian mobs, and burn our houses,
tear up our presses, shoot our Loveioys; and
then charge us with 'overthrowing all the re-
straints of Law and order;'' and because we
cry against such hellish atrocities they call
us Lnfdel, yes LqfdeH This is the mad
dog cry, and it has always been the cry, the
madening cry of those in authority in every
age of the world. This consecrdted Ordei
stoned to death our ancient Prophets, nailed
phen to death, banished our Paul, burned oul
Rogers and our Servitus at the stlke, impris,
oned cur brothors, Fox, Penn, and Barclay,
branded the rand of our Walker, shot on
Loveioy, and are now thirsting for our blood
and then call us IqfdeH

that are in these 3 numbers of the "ErsngeH
cal Union,' but have not time now. i an

any more documents of the Evangelical or

thankful that through thy fundamentally,
