Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1845-09-19

making in the South for the overthrow of
slavery. Even the discussion of the low
toned abolitionism which the "True Ameri.
CAM advocates, has awakened the attention
of a considerable portion of the people of
Kentucky, and excited the wrath of some of
her mobocrats. There /. considerable agi-
tation among the politicians of that state,
and the probability is that the approaching
Legislative session will be marked with hot
excitement and fierce debate in consequence
of the introduction of the ''vexed question:
What though the press of Cassius NJ. Clay
has been captured by a band of r%ufians,
and his life threatened Kentucky has done
no more than Ohio did to Birney, Lexing-
ton has been no more mobocratic than was
Cincinnati; and the reaction will be as great
on the southern banks of the Ohio, as it has
been on her northern shore.
In Maryland, DR.. Snodgrass is publishing
anti-slavery articles in his Baltimore Sa-
turday V%isiter,' and giving them an extern
sive circulation throughout that state. A
movement has been commenced there, hav-
ing for its aim, the amendment of the State
Constitution, and those who are agitating
that subject feel that the question of slavery
will inevitably come before the Convention
that shall be called to propose the necessary
amendments. Some are very fearful of this,
and dreading lest they should be tormented
before their time, have denounced all who
shall attempt to introduce it, as ''enemies of
the real objects of the Constitution John
l.. Carey, editor of the "American," a
Wing paper thus speaks of the subject
cit has been apparent for some time past,
that a convention to amend the State Con-
%stitution must assemble before long. That
body, representing the primary sovereignty
of the people will be the most fit to take up
the subject of Slavery. | HAVE NO DOUBT
BUT 1T WILL TAKE 1T UP; and Of one thing
! am equally certain, viz: that the clause in
the Constitution, which now makes Slavery
perpetual in Maryland, will be stricken out.
Most assuredly it will be stricken out, and
that forever"
In Virginia there is also a moving of
the waters. The "Richmond Whig,' a
leading paper of that state is publishing a
series of essays from the pen of "a Vir-
gilman" who we presume is Samuel NJ.
Janney. The editor thus commends them
to the readers of his paper:-
eve have commenced this morning, the
publication of a series of Essays, that were
placed in our hands some time ago, but were
mislaid. These Essays treat upon the sub
ject of .'Slavery and its Remedy, considered
as a question of Political Economy" We
commend them to the reader, who will find
them well written and argumentative. THEY
state The cause Of the State Of Tireinia lar
ging behind her sister States, in Education,
Manufactures, and general Improvement.
We commend these Essays to the readers
of the Wing, because, we believe there are
few in Virginia who do not agree as we do,
with the writer; that a ''temperate discus
sion" of the question treated on, may be
beneficial"
The question is also being discussed in
various other parts of the state, and we know
that the "Old Dominion contains quite a
number of bold hearted abolitionists who
will not suffer the present excitement to de-
crease, until Virginia puts away from her
the institution that is destroying her vitality
and crushing her energies.
We also understand that vigorous move
ments are being made in Delaware to cman-
cipate her slaves. There are now but few
upon her soil, and those are generally to be
found in the southern section. The laws OF
Delaware forbid the selling of a slave out
of the State, and they can scarcely subsist
upon the poorly cultivated soil; SO we may
anticipate their emancipation at no distant
day.
In other southern states there is more or
less anti-slavery labor being performed.
though not so openly nor on so extensive a
scale as in the four we have cnumerated.-
In Mississippi for instance, the Introduction
Of slaves is prohibited after the present year,
not only as articles of merchandise, but also
as laborers for the plantations of their own cit
liens. This Constitutional provision-for it
is by the Constitution the prohibition is made
has been referred to the people, and they
requested to vote on a proposition to change
it. This of course will excite attention
attention will lead to inquiry,-inquiry re-
suit in discussion, and thereby will glol be
promoted, for discussion wiH elicit truth
The New Orleans Bulletin thinks the peo-
pie are opposed to any change.
