THE ANri-sLAvERY BUGLE.

The Executive Committed OF the Ohio American Anti
Slavery Society, deeming it of vital Importance to the in
terests and progress of the cause to have an organ to dis.
seminate Anti Slavery truth, have concluded to issue the
first number Of a paper with the above title. The object
OF the paper will be TO show what are the great barriers
that stand in the way of the slaves redemption, and to
point out a plan for their removal. The subjects Of TEN
pera nee, Peace, Capital Punishment, &C., will also re-
ceive a share of attention in its pages. Its chief labors
will be for the overthrow of slavery. In order to effect
this it will be necessary to attack this monster in his ref
uge and hiding place-the Church.e Here he sits enthron
ed, defended by solemn Revercnds and Doctors of Divini.
ty. Here is his strong hold. Whenever an attack is
about to be made upon him, he seeks shelter in the pulpits
of the land. Dirinity comes to his rescue.
And as said Frederick Douglass, "the Church is the
fountain from whence the stream of politics flows" there.
fore must the stream necessarily be corrupt; (f politics
can be any thing ese,) for a bitter fountain cannot send
forth sweet waters. And it does seem from the general
doings OF the Liberty Party that it is acting the part of q
decoy-duck, to divert attention from the "bulwarks Of
Slavery" pointing at the same time to the ballot-box as
the only hope of the slave. Doubtless there are honest
minds who think it is so, but more light will enable them
Il see their error, and the Bugle will endeaver to lmpart it.
And now, friends of humanity, we ask you in the name
Of the signing bondman to lend your aid in sustaining this
little sheet. Think OF the anguish of the heart-broken
~slave-mothe'. Think of the fororn and agonizing condi.
ton Of three millions of our brothers and sisters who are
clanking their chains upon our soil, robbed cf every right,
and ranked with the beasts that perish! Talk not of

The resolution Of last session then came up for dis.
custom.
Abby Kelly, believing that the decision of the
chair relative TO The right of voting. was misunder.
stood by many persons present, appealed from that
decision, in order that The question might be more
fully discussed, and the resolution before the meet.
Jog was, on motion, laid on the table for ten minutes.
A motion was made TO appoint a COMMITTEES to take
a roll Of The members Of the Society. Remarks we're
made by Jesse Holmes, Elizabeth Robinson and All.
by Kelly, when, the ten minutes having expired, The
resolution again came before The meeting.
Ga motion, The resolution was again laid upon the
table, until the question of membership should be de-
cided. A committee of four was appointed by The
chair, to enrol the names of hose who are, o. wish
TO become, members of this Society, VIZ: j. Holmes,
Jesse Garretsun. Lot Holmes, VIM. McCIaln. The
constitution Of the Suciety was then read, and the roll
made out.
The discussion of the resolution was then resumed.
Mr.. Keep spoke at considerable length in opposition
to The sentiments OF The resolution; and was followed
by Abby Kelly, who spoke in its defence unfT the
lime Of adjournment.

"oUR COUNTRY. RIGHT OR WRONG"

Such is the motto adopted by those whose patriotism is
of a mean and selfish character; it fully expresses the
principle upon which contracted minds are willing to act,
for there are those whose minds are so unenlightened as to
have no more definite conception of the meaning of Right
and Wrong, than had the man we read of in the story.
book of felicity, which he defined to be, some part ola pigs
"innards.'
In their estimation, that is right which their party er
their sect approves, and every thing which is oppos cd to
the doctrines of their political or religious creed is wrong,
for that unanswerable reason, "because ii i.' They swal-
low down doctrines without examination; and are flaming
patriots, "Jecause they are.' They we're born in America,
and therefore every thing American, is to them, just right.
They are perfectly satisfied With this reasoning, and
"Stand by their country therefore,
Without a why or wherefore"
We say there is no greater enemy to his country than
such a patriot that in effect he deals treacherously with
the land of his birth. He is my true friend who stands by
me in the right, but condemns me when in the wrong
He who loves America will tell her of her faults, will re-
Duke her for her iniquities, so that she may be brought to
repent, and bring forth fruits for repentance, and become
in deed as she is now but in name, the land of the free, a
refuge for the oppressed.
1t is no evidence of patriotism for a man to boil over
with Indignation because the institutions of his country,
and his own actions or those OF his fellows are presented in
their true character; or to fret and fume with wrath be-
cause the God that he has w~Orshipped is shown to be a
false God, and not The Creator of the Universe. The true
patriot feels this chs country is the world, his c%ountryman
are all mankind, - and he labors to advance the interests
Of all, to diffuse the blessings of light and love throughout
the world; and he who has not experienced this desire,
knows not practically the meaning of patriot SIN, for the
interests Of man are one the wide world over, and to pro-
mote those interests we must labor for the overthrow Of
all wrong whether in our own or other lands, abiding ever
by the Right and True wherever found.

Tins Of diabolical. laws, demands The deePes! sympa.
thy of every friend Of humanity.
Giles StebbiDs on behalf Of the business commit.
tee, offered the following resolution:
Resolred, That The members of The convention OF
17S7 who framed The Constitution Of The U. States
and The people of The several States who adopted 1t,
showed by their willingness to grant the slave inter
est the three fifth representation, and thus increase the
influence Of men stealers and shareholders IN proper
ton to the number of their slaves-,heir consent to
forbid Congress TO exercise Its authority for twenty
long years to prohibit the African slave trede-their
allowing the whole land TO be made a hunting ground
for the hunters of men, IN order as James Madison
said "to give the stakeholder better security in his
property" and their pledging The whole physical
force Of The nation 10 keep the slave in his chains
that they were base hypocrites in their pretensions
10 love of liberty, and belief ia the inalienabie rights
of man; and that a constitution, granting such 'sol
emn guarantees" as Daniel Webster calls them, To
+. slavery, is indeed "a covenant with death, and an
agreement with hell, y which ne true friend Of hu-
manity can in any way sanction or uphold either by
holding an office under il himself, or casting a vote
for another TO do so.
The resolution was advocated by Giles Stebbens
