may have TO say with regard TO my letter in
the Duglc Of June 9th, I know not, nor do I
care how much you say undcrsiandingly, as
it is truth and light that l am seeking for
l therefore again call upon Wcsleyans, Lii
bcrty party men and Disunioriste, TO look at
my positions, and if | am wrong, show me
the right way, and ] will walk therein.
Friends Editors, | think you have misap-
pretended me in some points; | will, there
fore, shy a few things with regard 10 thoPar-
lies and characters of which you speak, that
the readers Of the Bugle may know the diff
ference between us.
LIST. What is The Liberty party? 1t is a
company of men organized to oppose, and il
possible, destroy the horrible system Of Ame-
rican Slavery. From whence did they come?
They came principally from the two great
leading parties of the country, (Whigs and
Dcmocrats.) What have they Che members
of the Liberty pariy) done! They have, at
least, lifted up their veico like a trumpet
against man-stealing, women-whipping, and

presses and through them nave uttered truth
in thunder tones against the sum of all viii
~llnies." They have, through the instrument
tality Of The press and Of public lecturers,
gone abroad throughout the northern States,
declaring to the people that nearly three mil
lions of their fellow beings in the South are
bleeding, grooming and dying under despo-
tism the most intolerable. They have call
ed upon men, women and children, 10 arise
in all their strength. TO conflict with the de-
mon monster (slavery,) and rescue from his
hellish clutch the dying victim. Again,
what have they (the members of the Liberty
party,) sulftredl Much, indeed they have
sacrificed all their political honors. and most
of their political friends; they have endured
all the vile calumnies that the great %reirninn
parties could bring to bear upon them they
have been mobbed with eggs, and stones,
and brickbats, and tar and feathers; they
have been rode on rails; they have been
branded and mutilated they have been i'm
prisoned and murdered; and yet they 20 on

the world to know ii this does no. look like
honesty at least.
Cd. WIZ are the Wings and Democrats?
They are parties organized and united 10 ad-
vance the cause of slavery Obey are so much
alike ! shall not Try to make a distinction.)
They are both welded to, slavery. The lead
ing men of each party are murdercrs, 10 say
the least of them. Instance Henry Clay and
]. X. Polk; they have stained their hands
with innocent blood, yea, their lands, their
houses, their furniture, are all stained with
blood. And they now stand on the bodies
OF nearly three millions Of their fellow coun-
trymen, crushing out their blood, and causing
the country to be drenched herewith. And
Mas! whilst the torrent is gushing from be-
meath their iron feet, rolling forth in sight Of
all the people, they are taken up for office
by their parties, and with coon.skins and
Poke weed they are exalted to the highest Pei.

of clay Whigism and Polk Democracy. Yes
these are the men and the parties that hold
the slaves of America. These are they who
glut themselves in human blood, and curse

Sd. VIII are slave claimants! They are
a company Of the meancst being ,ila, eve,
lived-as mean as II. Clay or j. X. Polk
yea, meanor than the Devil himself. 0! fol
language to express how mean they are.
4th. Who are the Wesleyans! The,
are a body enthusiastically organized ans
united against the hellish system of man
stealing; they are, as a general thing, sece
ders-irst from the Wing and Democratic
parties, and secondly from slaveholdino
churches. And | suppose they have suffered
as much, and sacrificed as much for the slave
as any other party in the CONTEMPLATING
sacrificed both their political and rehgiou,
honors and friends.
9th. Who are tho D~isunionists The,
are those who believe the Constitution o
