Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-05-15

copy of a letter written in 1889, by f.. Wright
TO II. Is. Stanton, which was purloined, not
8 placed in the hands of a committee by Mr..
s., and which the Bugle says was the COM
mencement Of the Liberty Party ploi.'' Now
il the Bugle will examine dates it will find
that the 'plot" of independent political ac-
ton was already commenced, by Myron Hol-
ley and others, in the State of New York,
who had nothing to do with old and new or.
ganization, that the object of Mr.. Wright's
letter was TO induce the " Parent Society," to
join the " plot" in which case the New
Organization might " take hold" of it, &c.,
&c. Then it will observe that the 50 Parent
Society" did not I" take hold" either as old
or new organization, but the Liberty Party
went on, as ii begun, INDEPENDENT Of
both old and new. The allegation that the
Liberty Party was "got up to save new or
ganization," is a notorious falsehood, by
whomsoever repeated. We say this, not be-
cause the fact is important, but because we
are Disguised with such patty trickery to Sc
cure the vote of Ohio to Henry Clay in 1918.
-Emunoipator.
We are well aware that previous to Oct.
1889, Myron lIoliey and a few others in the
State of New York had Withdrawn from the
Wing and Democratic parties, and were act
ing politically " on their own hook" but we
are not aware that their associated action was
then considered a party organization.--
Wright's letter was written, as he therein
declares, for the purpose Of getting the Parent
Society to " start the national politics. The
side-thrust contained liz the assertion that that
letter was "purLoined," and not placed by Il.
b.. Stanton in the hands Of a business Com
mittee, as we have sufficient authority to de-
clare, amounts to but little when we consid-
er the confusion of ideas that probably exists
in the mind of the editor in relation to trans
actions of the kind. If he regards the dis
honest transfer of the Emancipator in 1910
as a fair and honorable transactions, as he has
frequently asserted, we have no OBJECTION to
his using the word ''purIoined" in relation to
said letter.
As to The notorious falsehood' that Lii
berty Party was got up to save New Organi-
cation, let US see what the letter of +. Wright
says upon the subject: "Tdke my solemn
assurance that it (starting the national poll
tics) is life and death with us. Make the
move and we will foil ow and live" "Un-
less you do take such a step, our New Or
ganization here is a gone case" True, the
Parent Society declined taking hold of it, but
the purposes of New Organization were an
swered by others engaging in the matter, and
pushing it through. The being it now has,
is attributable TO the existence of Liberty
Party and we think it a strong case of in
gratitude for the editor of the Emancipator to
deny the obligations of New Organization to
that party.
The political slang contained in the last
sentence Of the Emancipator's article, is Of a
kind we have met before. Some of the Wings
of Ohio are great adopts in the use of it
their papers and their orators have an mex
haustible quantity, as is evidenced by the
charges they bring against Liberty party, of
wishing to aid Locofocoism, &C., &C., all of
which seem too absurd for one OF ordinary
sense 10 believe, but not more absurd than
the ridiculous charge of the Emancipator.
