Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-11-12

"At a recent meeting of the Bible Society
for Virginia, it was reported that there are
$4,000 families without the word of God
lie knew of more than one county where
there was no edifce 10 the worship of God,
and no minister of any denomination what
ever. The depth Of their ignorance was anna
Zlng. A minister was summoned to attend
the couch OF a dying man, and on examining
him as 10 his religious faith, found that he
had never heard Of Jesus Christ, but as an
oath. Nor was this a solitary case. Two
females were called to testify in court on an
important business. On questioning them,
previous TO swearing them, it was ascertained
TO the establishment of both Judge and Jury,
that they had never heard of either the Bible
or of God Dr.
So declared Bishop Johns, of Va, at the
General Episcopal Convention in New York,
and it will be found that what is true of Vir-
ginia is equally true of other slaveholding
States; and generally, We presume, more
strikingly so. We do not, however, agree
with the Bishop, that "the depth of their ig-
norance is amazing" To us il seems as ma
tural as rain from a cloudy sky, OF darkness
from an eclipse. With the system of labor
which is engTaited upon Virginia, and the
consequent low state of morals which obtains
with those who claim to be the enlightened
ones of the Old Dominion, it is no wonder
that the grossest Ignorance should prevail
among the poorer classes. Slavery not only
brushes and degrades the slave, but the poor
white man also. 1t declares labor disgrace
full, and afixes a stigma upon all who labor.
There is nearly as great a distinction between
the Shareholders and the poor white laborers,
as is created by the castles of lndia-and 1t
would be amdEing if The former should put
themselves TO any trouble to instruct the lat.
ter in spiritual or intellectual truths. Indeed,
it would not be desirable they should endea-
vor to impart TO them spiritual truths, for that
which passes current with them under that
name, can do but little good to any.
And although the Bishop was doubtless
shocked, when told Of a dying man, who

A. Willy, editor Of the Liberty Standard
(Maine) in defining John p. Hale's position
in regard to the overland slave-trade, says
he does not deny the power of the govern
ment to abolish it summariIy, neither is he
prepared to assert it. This is what we sup.
pose is meant by being in a state Of between-
ity. A pretty nominee truly, for the I'm

MExICO.-Those who ought TO know say
that no dispatches have been received from
General Scott for a long time if he has sent
any, the guerrillas only have been benefited
by them. His friends regard his situation
as rather a ticklish one, and we should not
be surprised if it was found not only that
General Scott had captured Mexico but that
Mexico had in turn captured General Scott.
Colonel Childs is put to his wits end to
defend Puebla, at least as much Of it as he
holds, and the probability appears to look to-
ward a surrender.
The different detachments of the Ameri-
can army are unable to keep open lines of
communication with each other, or with tho
frontier in some cases. Guerrilla bands
continue to scour the country, but cannot be-
gin to compete in robbery and murder with
the American forces, they however manage
TO kill a few occasionally.
General Taylor's presidential letter writing
and glorious victories seem 10 have failed
about the same time. The newspaper chro-
nlclers scarcely speak Of him now, and he
appears to be almost forgotten. A new edi-
ton of his life would probably meet with a
dull sale at this time. The most important
item of news respecting him is to be found
in the report that he designs visiting his
plantation home this winter, is probably there
now engaged in counting up the earnings
of his negroes during his absence in Mexi-

{" had never even heard Of Jesus Christ, but
as an OATH" and designed to shock the Con-
v%ention by a relation Of the fact, we are in
clined to think that his saving knowledge Of
Jesus Christ, was quite as extensive as that
of some who are more familiar with his name,
but who blaspheme it by using it as authori-
ty for the support of slavery. And we should
Judge that the two women 10 whom he refers,
as having "never heard either Of the Bible
or of God" probably enjoyed quite as good
spiritual health as they who declare that the
one instituted slavery, and the other sane
tons it.
The Bishop has moi yet found the grossest
form Of ignorance which prevails in Vir-
ginia, nor will he find it among the ~outcasts
of society. There is a depth Of ignorance in
the Old Dominion which is amazing, and it
he will seek for it, he will probably discover
it among the elect of his own household Of
faith-an utter ignorance, not of the name of
Jesus Christ, but Of the requirements of Chris
tianity-not Of the book which the Bible So
ciety prints, but of the saving truths contain
ed in the two great commandments which
e%nioin love TO God and love to man; which
ask for practical righteousness and not specu-
lative faith.
