Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-09-24
Henry c. Wright.

Our readers will be reioiced 10 learn that
this excellent man and indefatirable cham
pion of all good causes, arrived in the steam
or of last week, after an absence of about f We
years. We had not the pleasure of seeing
him %ourself, as he proceeded Immediately 70
Philadelphia, but we learn ftom those that
had, that he is in excellent health, and seems
unchanged, eXcep! for the better, by his long
s%ojourn in foreign lands. This intelligence
Will be most welcome 10 his troops of friends,
in all parts of the country. For no man in
the country has more true friends, or has bet
ter deserved TO have them, than Henry c..
Wright.
His visit to Europe has been time well be-
slowed for the promotion Of the various great
movements for the amelioration Of human
condition TO which he has devoted his life.
The agitation which is shaking the Fee
Church OF Scotland, arising from the faint of
the blood-lnoney, is largely due TO his un-
compromising and faithful testimonies and
labors. The Anti-Slayery flame was per-
peiually famed and fed by his words and
works, and the hearts and hands of ourmany
friends in Great Britain and Ireland encour-
aged and strengthened by his intelligent zeal
and perfect mastership OF the subject. The
great doctrine of the Treatment of Enemies,
demanded by The highest Morality and the
truest EXpediency, also received a wider at
tentlon and a deeper consideration than had
ever before been given to it. The Cause of
Temperance, too, found in him a constant
and consistent champion.
But the World is the Field Of an expan-
sive nature like that of Mr.. Wright, and he
will be welcomed back to this portion OF it
by all who desire to see it fruitful of rood
things. A sturdy husbandman, like him, can
never find himself where work is not to be
dore. And, surely, there is no where that
needs the filth and husbandry of the most
stalwart laborcrs more than this corner of the
Vineyard. 1t was this view of thinrs that
made his many friends and admirers in the
Old World willing, though sad, TO give him
the God-speed when he turned his face to-
wards his Native Land. He had done them
good service, but they saw that there were
others, in at leas; equal need with themselves,
crying TO him, Come over and HELM usl'-
Ills presence with US, after his abode with
them, will make another link in the silver
chain !hat binds the Abolitionists of the two
hemlspheres together, and makes them of
one mind, and of one heart. His interesting
and touching Farewell Letter. written on
the eve Of his departure, will be found on the
first page of this paper.
