Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-03-06

salist shareholders. We do not believe them
Protest on our part will make them rave and
roar, so that neither argument, persuasion or
reason can affect them. We can hardly tell
which George has the most contemplate
opinion of-his "own denomination" or his
.'fellow citizens in the slaveholding States"
(5) Very much afraid of being regarded
as a political aJohtiOnisi, but perfectly content
to be a political slavecrat. Our readers know
that we have no love for Liberty party, that
we regard it as an organization hurtiul to the
cause Of the slave, but we have great respect
for the honesty and sincerity of many in its
ranks, and the fact that they have left a pop
ular for an unpopular political party, is anew
idence of attachment to the slave's cause
(mistlken as we believe they are) which the
writer of this letter has not sufficient moral
courage, honesty, or intelligence-we know
not which he lacks-to give. Jesus was
looked upon as having a devil had he acted
upon the principles which George Messenger
lays down, he would have refused to protes,
against the sin and corruption of the world.
Paul was looked upon as being a turbulent
fellow according to George Messenger he
should not have issued a protest against the
worship of Diana, especially when there ap-
peared such alarming divisions among the
Ephesians. We might use similar language
toward all of Truth apostles, whose actions
and motives were misrepresented because oil
the protest they were continually issuing, bu'
where would the world have been without
them Ain as gross moral darkness as that
which cnshrouds the mind Of George Messin-
ger. Is the reason he here urges for his
"m4steriy inaciipity," one that he will be will
ling to stand by in tho Judgment hour!-
" hen the query is put, didst thou remember
them that are in bonds as bound with them!
will he reply 81 did not, Lord, lest by SO
doing | should be regarded as a political abb
olitionist." Didst thou deliver him that was
spoiled out Of the hands Of the spoiler d
Didst thou plead for the deliverance of tho
captive, for the undoing of the heavy burden,
for the breaking of every yoke! 81 did not
Lord, lest by so doing should be regarded
as a political abolilionist."
Coy 1t seems that the writer's code of NOR
ality leaves it a matter of choice merely, as
to whether a man shall protest against the en-
slavement of the Creators image, and the
, selling of God upon the auction block the
. lettering of the human mind, and the crush
ing of the human soul I; these weightier mat
