Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-03-10

and on the morning Of the third day of her
attendance, she was publicly expelled from
the school, and sent weeping from the room
in the presence of all the female students.
Does the reader begin 10 inquire for the
cause Of this treatment 10 a modest unassn-
ming young woman, who was "a stranger in
a strange land" whose parents had entrust-
ed her to the generosity Of the citizens of
HaTveyshurg, and surrounding country. Per-
haPs the startling thought begins TO arise that
she is charged with some crime. | can an.
sw er that so far as | have heard, her charac-
ter stands untarnished by any shadow Of
crime. Perhaps the next thought will be
that she found herself too poor to pay a Tea
cher, in this age Of gold and silver idolatry.
| can answer to this, that her parents are,
perhaps. worth more property than the pa
rents OF any other student at the school. |
presume the reader now concludes 10 CHARGE
the root of the difficulty among the crimes of
God, in being guilty Of another Of his quite
common blunders in creating Margaret black,
and therefore we felt called upon here in
Harveysburg TO bear our testimony against
the sins Of the Creator, by refusing to ASSOC
ciate our ,chite names with his deeds of black
ness. This superstition, however. is entire
ly groundless, for the Creator is % far from
being guilty Of making Margaret Jlcck, that
she is quite as fair and much more beautiful
than many of the students attending the same
school; and ] may add that | heard Wilson
Hobbs say, that he never should have sus-
picioned Margatet for being coiored, &c.
The whole ground of the origin of this
piece Of cruelty, folly and wicked nonsense,
is here: 1t seem that friend Hobbs had
heard 1t stated that on the maternal side Of
Margaret's ancestry, the line of descent had
come from Adam and Eve, through a warm
and pleasant climate rather more recently
tlnn some of us think our w ancestry came.
This startling news was sufficient 10 shock a
modern educated Quaker, and to make him
%shudder and cringe as though the crashing
OF heavy thunder were breaking upon his
Ng IHui'Ci u NA0 heavens Dul
as soon as he got sufficiently over the stun
ming effects 10 be able to travel, finding his
W calibre entirely incompetent to decide a
question of such tremendous ma rnitude, he
seeks counsel a. the hands of some six or
eight persons, who had each Furnished a part
OF the funds for the erecting Of the building
where the school was taught.
Among the prominent persons consulted,
was one merchant whose sole trust for saliva
ten seems to be in dimes and half dimes and
the voice of the great Dime God as spoken
by the mouth OF this his servant, was, ''iurn
her Ut" Two Of the same company of
counsellors in cruelty and vile oppression,
were members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, one of them a great hand for look
ing solemn, and the other a swift tongued
man on a prayer, yet both these seemed anx-
ious to learn what the great demon of oppres-
sion would require at their hands, in order
that they might "know and do his will -
with great earnestness then, could these men
of the church, with solemn look and prayer
ful hearts say. "turn her out Of school." A
fourth parsonage in this group of cruel female
prosecutors was one of the main pillars in the
United Brethren Church in this place, whose
trade is a kind of mixture, including some
religion and some blacksmithing who talks
frequently in the class-neelings about his
being 'as much determined 10 90 to Heaven
as ever" yet the Teacher says his advice
was, to erpei Margaret from school. Anoth-

and the health and happiness of mankind

his time in preaching what he seemed to
think was the Gospel Of Christ; and he all

Another member Of this cabinet of cruelty, I
will describe by simply saying that he is one
of our most zealously processing Rgormers in
matters of both Church and Siatc, a reader
of John c. Faughn's paper; ye, he Too
could openly acknowledge that he told Will
son Hobbs to turn the young tcoman from
