Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-11-06
Ourselves.

Ourselves.
As will be seen by a notice in another col
umn, we contemplate spending a few weeks
on the Western Reserve. Our absence will
subject the Publishing Committee as well as
ourselves, to considerable inconvenience, and
nothing but a hope that we shall thereby adj
vance the cause o: emancipation, induced US
to consent 10 this arrangement.
The field is large, and is white unto the
harvest, while, alas! The laborers are but few.
There are many who are ready to say $50
we into all the regions of the West, and preach
the doctrines Of emancipation TO the people,"
but they go not themselves, neither do they
contribute that which is necessary 10 send
forth and sustain the laborer.
The Western A.. S. Society needs funds /;
the members of the Publishing Committee of
the Bugle need the arrearages due them, so
that they may pay the Printer and the paper
maker; and the cause needs that the subscrip-
ton list Of the Bugle should be increased
that more anti-slavery publications should be
scattered abroad, and that truths which have
not yet been practically adopted be repeated
and REINFORCED. To aid in this work so far
as we can, is the motive which has induced
US to consent to visit our friends and subscri-
bers, and subscribers that are to be, on the
Western Reserve. We hope to receive from
the abolitionists there, the encouragement
cooperation, and assistance which the cause
demands.
During our absence the Bugle will be in
the hands Of those who are abundantly able
TO conduct it.
The November No. OF GRAHAM contains
the commencement Of a sea story by Cooper,
for which the proprietors of the Magazine
have paid him $1,000. The earliest works
of this author we have read with great delight,
and they have been highly approved by all
who made their acquaintance some Of his
later publications, however, a:e thought to
have but little TO recommend them but the
authors name. If"The Fleets Of the Gulf"
is as good a sea-story as Cooper has written
and can write-and the publishers of Graham
assure us it is among his best-it will be one
of much interest. Those who subscribe to
the Magazine commencing with the January
No. will be furnished with the beginning of
the story in sheets as it appears in the two
preceding months.
Subscriptions to tho Magazine SO per year
in advance-S5 for two copies.
OF At the Wal,ham dinner, a Mr.. Hea-
ley said she could answer for his brother ten
ant farmers and himself, Mat they adored the
-3rf>tocr0cy, and regarded il as a wise dispen-
safion Of Providence :"
This sentiment, uttered by an English far
mcr who perhaps hardly knew what he was
saying, is going the rounds of the American
papers, italics and exclamation points inclu-
ded. However it may be with the English
farmers, it is very certain that many A,neri-
can .laborers adore the Aristocracy of this
country, and treat itsas though it were wise
dispensation of Providence, an Aristocracy
too, whose blood-written title is even more
palpably unjust than that of British Aristoc-
racy, and which has not the bleaching that
age has seemed to give to the feudal claims
which had their birth in the times of the
Norman Conqueror. Although the AGistoc-
racy of England Expresses and degrades, it
cannot crush out the humanity. Of even the
humblest man; although it defaces Gods
image, it does not dare require its likeness 10
its Creator 10 be denied although it defles
the living temple of the Holy Ghost, it does
not assert that that temple is but the habita-
ton Of a brute. The Aristocracy of this coun-
try, has, by its terrible power done these
things, yet the farmers and other laborers OF
America exalt its embodiments to the highest
civil offices, and recognize its claim to enter
into the hottest sanctuaries of their religion
thus proving by their actions that they adore
the American Aristocracy Of slavery, and re,
gard the system as a wise dispensation O
Providence!
SLAvERY.-A committee of nine, in the
Legislature of Alabama, one from each judi
cial circuit, has recently made a report set
ting forth the danger of a redundant slave
population. The committee expressed theiI
apprehension mat henlucky, Maryland, ant
Virginia will soon abolish slavery, and tina
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas
will follow their example.-&. Louis Ga
-eIe.
Very good, so far as it goes; and tie con
version of your redundant slave population
into freemen is the only means by which you
State can be saved from the danger which
now threatens its destruction. Instead o
waiting for Kentucky, Maryland, and Vir
ginia to lead in the abolition of slavery, anC
for North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkan
kansas 10 follow their example, would it no
