EDITORS OF THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.
Not unfrequently is it the case,
that those who are engaged in moral enter
prises, pass on without knowing either di-
rectly or indirectly the result of their labors.
This must be in a great measure the case
with those who labored in this section, in
behalf of the oppressed during the past sum-
mer. AS evidence that their efforts were not
in vain; permit me to give you the following
extract OF a letter from the wife of a Presby-
terrain clergyman, in Lake Co., who with her
husband was an attentive listener of Mr.. Fos-
ter and Miss Kelley, at one of their meetings
in the Co.
zone result of Abby Kelley's lectures here
is, that the hearts of some of our brothers
and sisters have been so warmed by the truth
she poured down upon us; that they have es-
tablished a weekly Anti Slavery prayer meet
ing. When Abby was here, l felt convinced
that God was in his providence sending her
through the country to proclaim the truths of
his word, against the sin of slavery, and |
| said, don't let US oppose her lest we be found
opposing God. Though she may say som
things, which we may think incorrect or in
judicious, yet she advances such Bible Anti
Slavery truth, so reprovingly, so fearlessly as
I have heard no Anti-Slavery lecturer before.
Let her alone, let her curse, it may be the
Lord hath hidden her. ! have seen the hand
of the Lord working in the Anti-Slavery cause
here, ever since, and never more strikingly
than this evening. During the meeting, one
of the brethren while leading in prayer, pre-
senting the case of the slave; of Mr.. Torrey
and other prosecuted ones in the Anti-Slayery
cause, seemed to have his mind so filled with
the views he was taking Of the guilt of the
nation and the Church; that utterance left him
and he seemed crushed beneath the load"
1t is confidently expected by the friends of
the slave here, that the fire kindled will not
cease to burn; neither can it, or will it be
denied, that though much and bitter opposi-
tion has been raised against Abby Kelley
there has not been as much good accomplish
ed by any ten lecturers who may have pre-
ceeded her, in e%nlisting the hearts of the peo-
pie in the cause of suffering humanity. Said
a very warm Liberty man in Cleveland 'had
| it, | would give a thousand dollars per year
to sustain Miss Kelley as a lecturer, for she
does more than all of U.s." A Female Anti
Slavery Co. Society has been formed and we
hope to have sewing circles in every town;
for in that we pledge ourselves to do all that
zoe can. The following lines | copy, not for
their poetic worth but for the sentiment con-
taired. They were written by a little girl
thirteen years Of age; and show that children
can see the inconsistency of the North, il
wise heads will not. You candispose ofthem
az you please.
CONNECTION OF NORTH AND
SOUTH.
A loving Brotherhood indeed!
Can We deny the fact
That North and South 90 hand In hand,
To help enslave the Biackl
Perhaps lone disbelieve the point
Thai we are so connected,
Then let us clearly prove it out
And have that view corrected.
Loving communion as I've learned
Most strongly does connect US,
