Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-11-20


the proceedings at Madison. 1t commenced
In his usual coarse and abusive language, ac-
cusing us Of lalsehood and dishonesty. We
handed it back TO him, after reading the first
paragraph, remarking that if he wished TO cor
rect any thing we had said, he could do so in
our columns, in decent and respectful Lam
guage but that he could not impugn our We
racity or honesty in our xvi columns-he
could do so in the Church or Tabernacle, to
his hearts content.
His condemnation of the entire article, it
will be observed, was based upon the char
acter of the first paragraphs, that being all
that he read. We quote the paragraph in
question.
TO The Editor Of he Clere'aad .7a.erican.
Your paper Of the Sth ms. contains a no.
tice of the Celebration at Centreyil,e, on the
4th inst, in which the course OF my wife
and myself, on that occasion, is totally mis-
represented. l therefore ask you, as an act
of justice, to publish the following correc-
ton.
Let us try the second paragraph.
In your first a%llusion to myself, you say:--
II VII . OsAti lltltuuitu II tfSbihNttl ttliout-
ing Cassius NJ. Clay, we believe, which he
said he had been requested to Introduce and
speak upon" This statement is intirely in
correct. | introduced no resolution having
any reference whatever to Mr.. Clly. The
paper which | introduced was a Protest and
Pledge against the Mexican war, which had
been placed in my hands by the President of
the Lake County Anti-Slavery Society, with
a request that | would speak upon it.
What exceedingly ''toarse and aJusive Ian
guage!" what terrible accusation ''of false
hood and dishonesty :" The nerves of l., l..
Rice must be as delicate and as sensitive as
those of a court-bred lady. Pity he was not
as honest in inllictiug the gag as was Hamp-
shire's Anterior. Milton Sutlif stands by
and encourages him in his mean and contenp-
tible course, and desires that such a sheet as
the American may have a more extensive cir
c%ulation, Boosting meanwhile of his love Of
free discussion, it is too much like the Irish
mans reciprocity-all on one side. If this
be Liberty party's idea of free speech, South
Carolina and Georgia enjoys ii in perfection.

Lies Anti-Slavery Society of Ashtabula co.
They design 10 issue two more numbers, and
circulate them gratuitously. 1t is devoted to
the abolition of the Ohio Black Laws, and is
edited by Detsey NJ. Cowles. The number
before us contains many very interesting aud
important facts in relation 10 the operation of
those laws on the colored people Of this state.
We design making some extracts from it at a
future time.
The Briitamia arrived al Boston without
Mr.. Garrison he will probably return in ihe
next steamship. His labors in England have
been unceasing.
On Wednesday, Oct. l2th, Mr.. Garrison,
Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. Wright, and Mr.. Doug
lass, attended a meeting at Manchester, at
the close of which a slave recently escaped,
bearing in his hand a slave-whip, presented
himself as a living witness Of the abomina-
tons of slavery, with great effect.
"All men are created equal, with an inalien-
able right to liberty said the Americans, as
they drove back the masses of British SOL
diery which were poured into this country by
Tyrants. "Slaves cannot breathe in Eng
land" says British Law, rs the American
Slave presents himself, with his back all
scared and lacerated, as evidence Of his in
alienable right to liberty.
The suffering of the poor in some por-
tions of Europe, is very great.
We suppose, however, that the large packs
Of hounds and troops of lackeys, kept by
those devouring moths in that country, cal
led mobiles and gentlemen, are well fed, while
human beings are in a starving condition..
We append the following accounts of suf-
ferings.
The London correspondent of the n. Y.
Journal of Commerce, says: S.
The anime in the Highlands of Scotland
is one of the most frightful kind. The pota
toe crop has totally failed there, and many
families exist entirely upon shell-fsh. Fresh
accounts have COM up, giving narrowing de-
tails of the state of the population in the isle
of Muir. Last week the news was dire,
this week the intelligence is angnishing.-
The government have dispatched commits
sioners to the starved districts, with full pow
er to draw upon the treasury, and form d
commissariat. The relief can only be ten.
porary, and all the temptations Of the govern.
ment and the lairds will not induce the peas
antry to elnigrdte.
From Ireland the accounts continue to pre-.
sent increased suffering OF the people, aud a
dread of desperate coming outrages. Some
bread riots had taken place, but they were
soon appeased.
| told you a few weeks ago, on the arthor-
ity of the celebrated DR.. Ryan, that the Ash
attic Cholera was silently, slowly, but sure
ly approaching Europe. The accounts which
you received by the last steamer showed this
sinuous and fatal progress from Scinde in
British India into Persia, where it struci
