Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-07-30

way may open" in the meetings of the Soci-
ETY., clothing truth in the soul-moving garb
of music and poetry. An aged Friend, resi-
ding in Pennsylvania, and whose youthful
zeal in Humanity's cause had not been chill
led by the frosts of ninety winters, once OBJ
served in conversation with us, 81 want TO
say to thee that I wish people would all be
abolitionists and ] don't care whether its
preached into them, or lectered into them, or
sung into them" We are equally indiffer-
ent which Of these agencies are employed to
promote the growth Of anti-slavery truth, so
that ihe selection made is bes. calculated to
do it. There has not been so much preach
ing of anti-siavery as might he advisable, nor
so much lecturing Of it as is desirable, nor so
much singing of it as would be useful. We
should rejoice TO have all these agencies
more extensively engaged in this work, and
hore that the meeting at New Lyme will
have a strong tendency 10 produce such re-
suit.
The accommodation for Strangers, it is pre-
sumed will be ample. The Oberlin tent has
been secured so the difficulty which was
apprehended in regard TO a commodious place
for a meeting will not exist. The Disunion-
lists of New Lyme have plenty Of heart-room
for those who may be in attendance, and we
think their house room will be found sufi-
cient. If the friends in that vicinity under
stand crowding in as well as they do in Qua
ker settlements further south, there will be
no difficulty. All that should be asked on
such occasions is plain fare, a shake-dO,Un
bed in the house for the women, and straw
or hay in the barns for the men. There will
Of course be a reireshment table at the Fair,
and a dinner provided somewhere on the
ground where all who wish it may procure
food for themselves, and at the same time fur
nish funds for the Society. And by the way, it
is desirable that those who can take provis-
ions for the dining table should do so. 1t is
unnecessary TO enumerate what would be
needed, as that is understood by every house
keeper. Those who live at a distance might
carry something that would not be liable to
spoil by transportation-ham, for instance, O.
flour, sugar, live chickens if not too far of,
or any other suitable gift. If all the friends
in the county of Ashtabula will lend a help
ing hand in furnishing provisions, there will
be as ample a table spread as any one could
desire, and the more who assist them in this
the better.
To sum up all in a few words, efforts will
be made TO have the Annual meeting, the
Fair, and the Concert pleasant and ~instruc-
tive 10 those who attend, and the character of
each of these will be such as to give a great
impetus to the Anti-Slavery cause in the
West and surely effort in that cause is as
much needed now as it ever was. The slave
power is making desperate struggles to re-
tain the mastery so desperate that in that
very desperation may be read an omen of
good. 1t is true, the storm clouds of slave
holding war hang upon our southern horizon,
but the clear blue sky is looking out in the
East and in the West, the sun of Truth pours
down its bright, heart-cheering beams thro'
the cloud-rifts, and the eye of Faith sees
painted on the heavens Gods beautiful token
of promise unto man-of promise which is to
be the reward of labor, the fruition of effort.
!, Wisdom TO design and zeal to execute are
needed now and strong hands to do the work
and willing hearts TO aid all these, it is sim
cerely hoped may be found at the coming
meeting.
If the volunteers in this cause will but
l manifest one tylhe of the zeal that the volun-
5 leers for Mexico have done, if they will sac,
rifce one-tenth as much for the redemption
of man as the others have for his destruction
t the anti-slavery cause in the West will have
h resources at its command and laborers at its
= call as it never had before. Let it be showr
at New Lyme on the 18th, 10Th, and Goth o
August what Abolitionists are ready to do
. Let them there give as enthusiastic a recep
Il ton to Frederick Douglass, the scared slav
Of the South, as the Democrats of the Nortl
recently gave TO James X. Polk, the Stare
holder. Let them greet as joyously the edi
i tor of the Liberator, the man who first un
furled in this land the banner of Immediat
j. Emancipation, as did Northern Democrat,
j. the President Of the United States, by who's
Ie orders the first blow was struck at the libeI
;e ties of Mexico.
