Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-10-08
Dr.. Hudson, who is now lecturing in New
York, relates the following incident in a let,
ter to the A. S. Standard
Inldclity out of the Church made by
lnlidelily in the Church.

At Bloomville we were directed to an old
man, some three score and ten years of age,
as a friend of humanity. We found him at
the dinner-table, and when | presented TO him
my brother Hayden, a slave from Kentucky,
the old mans eyes were Immediately flooded
with tears, and his heart was too big for ut
terance. He retired to give them free vent.
When he returned, having recovered himself,
his soul began TO kindle up with Indignation,
and he gave vent TO his feeling in cursing the
God of Shareholders, their accomplices, and
Biblical defenders, the God of bloody human
butchers, adulterers, whoremongers, &c. III
L. said he, should see the assassin about to
butcher my wife, and did nothiHg to prevent
it, would | not be a murderer! Your God
is said TO endorse Slavery-he will not palsy
the %lyrant's arm, he heeds not the prayer of
the slave, nor yours for him. The Bible is
a fiction, got up by blood y-minded human
butchers, and slaveholders.' He proceeded
to get 'Taylor's DiegesIs,' and 'Nolney's
Ruins to sustain himself-that Jesus Christ
was an ideality, and his history, plagiarism
from heather descriptions OF Bacchus, and
Prometheus; the former, "a holy and just
God, the latter, Prince of Peace, justly so
called ] replied that my God was a God
of love and impartial benevolence, no endor-
ser Of slavery, war, whoredom and opPres-
sion, that Jesus Christ was his express i'm
age and he, annoinled with the spirit Of the
Lord God, was good news, kindness, mercy,
forgiveness, love, and impartial and living
benevolence to all men, seekingthe best good
and happiness Of all men, without respect OF
persons-and call him Bacchus, Promelheus,
OF an i%deality, he was a glorious pattern, to
initiate, to live by, and die by. That my
God did answer prayer for The slave, through
the spirit of truth on the hearts of men who
had ~enslaved their brethren, to lead them to
repentance, and by their living agency, de-
stroy the system they had helped 10 build up.
That prayer was the lively desire of The heart
That no other prayer was good Tor anything,

THe TRuTH For ONcE.-The papers are
telling a story, believing, some of them, no
doubt, that il was as they call it, an "awk-
ward mistake" while others are laughing in
their chairs, at the SLY joke they are perpe-
trating. For our own part, we see neither
joke nor mistake about it, but think it as SOL
emn a truth as was ever uttered and we re-
joice with our whole heart that it was told
where il was, and has been engraved in stone.
May it be blessed to the people of that ceun-
try. Here it is. We give It as we find it
told in the papers "A. 5. Standard.
AWKWARD MIsTAKE.-A fine stone church
was lately built in Missouri, upon the facade
of which a stone cutter was ordered to cut the
following as an inscription: "My house shall
be called the house of prayer" He was re-
ierred for accuracy to the verse of Scripture
In which these words occur, but unfortunate
ly he transcribed, to the scandal of the soci-
ETY., the whole verse; "My house shall be
called the house of prayer, but ye hare made
ii a den IF there's"

DEAR SIR 81 have this morning received
yours of Both %ultiIno, relative to the intennent
of Captain Lincoln, Who fell in the battle of
Buena Vista, and feel obliged 10 say that !
do not approve of the object expressed in your
letter. 1t seems TO me that the cause in
which he fell is one which ought TO cover
with shame instead of honor, ali who are en-
gagged in it. The Mexican war has been
pronounced, Justly | think, infamous; and |
do not know of any reasop, which has been
assigned in justification of il, which might
not be urged with equal truth and pTopriety,
as a reason for making war on the Govern
ment of the United States. If the Govern
ment Of Mexico have been peTidious in re-
gard to treaties, so have ours if that Govern
ment have failed to pay their just debts at the
proper time, SO have ours; if that Govern
mcnt have Irampled on the rights and liber-
ties of individuals who desired TO reside with
in her borders, so have ours. And what adds
TO the enormity of the whole matter is, the
hypocrisy which has been manifested in re-
gard to the causes and progress of this war,
in assigning false reasons for its inception,
and the most palpable absurdities for its con-
tinuance. Who does not know that this war
would not have occurred had it not been for
the existence of Slavery in our own country,
and a desire on the part Of the present admin
i~stratiOn and its abettors 10 extend it into the
Mexican territories The whole scheme
was conitived, as ! believe, to extend and
rcrpe'nate that system Of slavery which now

that from 1925 1876 inclusive, 900 persons had emil
grated from Great Britain British colonies and to the
United States OF these, 100000 had gone to the United
States; and the reason of this he thus stated:
sThe cause of this was, that while there nothing but
torpor and inactivity the British American side, aud all
seemed waste and desoate; the side OF the United
States rs appeared from Lord Durhams report, MI was

Denocyat.--Any news this morning
Whig-No; but am looking for further murder and
bloodsed in this most unholy in Mexico 1t is about
time TO hear further from the Infamous proceedings.
Denaocrdt.-l hope the will continue to be favor
able to our arms. The brave men who are fighting in
Mexico for counts rights deserve and hope
will secure it, to such an extent as shall insure just
peace.
Whig-I can hardly agree with you. AS Christian,
| cannot wish for further victories, blood and murder,
nor Tor the prosperity OF those engaged in this war
wish we had good men at the head of government,
who would at once withdraw all our lorces and stop the
war immediately.
Demoerat-1hen you think it is wicked for those in
authority to assist in prosecuting the present war
Wh'g.-l do. UNANIMOUSLY wicked. They are rolling
up wrath against the day of wrath No good can

sent to the doctrine that is wicked for government
TO maintain rights and defend its citizens the
point OF the bayonet Nor can agree that IT is wrong
Tor our government, after becoming involved in
with foreign country, TO demand-and, if possible, to
taKe-]ust indemnity Tor the claims OF our citizens,

ke on ts SUBJECT and perceive you getting tired
of the conversation
Whig.-You can never convince me of the truth of
such wicked doctrine you advance We will drop the
nate for President!
Democyat-I cannot yet answer that question. We
have good and worthy men enough in our party who
love their country and their principles. There NAV be
difference of opinion TO the but meeting in
national convention the delegates, fresh from the people
and representing the different sections OF the country will
consider the whole subject the difficult points will be
discussed views compared, and them with that honor
bic concession which has saved Union far, they
will designate whom democrats unite from
pncple-and, rest assured, that man will be elected
whoever he may be-
Whig-Ugh-ahee ahem Well, that's the way with
you locos, always. You busier away about this man
and that and one would suppose you'd be split all to
pieces but when the election comes, you go altogether
give up, and unite.
Denocrat- hope it will be always so-not that de-
sire we shall give up any principle, but that we may give
up so FAR not to allow personal preferences to govern
