Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-11-17

tering the symbols Of our common redemp-
lion 10 the preachers and private members,
the emotions Of my heart were inexpressible.
Recollections Of their former associations,
and Of the former relations OF their respective
Churches, came over me, and | could but
ask, can we not live together as brethren OF
the same great Methodist family! Ought
we not both to draw upon our past Intimacy
TO heal the wounds and exasperations OF the
PRESENT. Ought not the recollections OF past
communion to mitigate the asperity and hit
tefnrss of our separation Shonld not the
recolleciions of those never to be forgotten
times when We walked to the house OF God,
and took sweet counsel together cast redeem
Ing hues upon apparent defeclions The two
parties
Stand aloof, the scars remaining,
Like ellis that have been rent asunder;
a drrary sea that flows between;
But neither heat, nor frosi. nor thunder,
Shall wholly do away, | ween,
Tie marks of that which once hath been.'"
OF We feel %gratifed by the reception Of
the following letter, and highly value the tes-
timony it contains, coming as it does from
one who so well knows The hearts and minds
of children, and comprehends their needs.

To The Readers IF The BugLe.
Dear Friends Before inc is a work ems
titled 1.-THE You've ABoLlTIoNIsTs, or, Con-
vERsATIoNs ON SLAvERY;" by j.. Elizabeth
JOues. 1t is just from the Anti-Slavery press
of Boston. / have read this little book with
great profit and satisfaction. The principles,
practices and spirit of American slavery are
brought out in it clearly and distinctly, and
10 the comprehension of the class OF readers
for whose benefit it was designed. II was
written for children; and the child who be-
gins to read it will not be likely to lay is
aside ill it is read through. Ii is in the form
Of Dialogue, and the conversation is carried
on with spirit and animation. The author
has contrived to impart instruction to chill
dlen on the most radical and only true prin-
ciples Of Anti-Slavery. | see not how any
child can read that book OF hear it read, and
not receive lasting benefit.
The writer has done a good work for Anti
Slavery. She has struck a blow for Free
dom in the right place. If the children of
Ohio could get at that book, and read it, and
imbibe its spirit, it would matter but little
what constitutions or laws were made to up
hold the system Of fraud and violence. Sla-
very would be dead in the State, and nothing
could keep it alive. One effort made with
children, tells more powerfully against slave
ry than ten made with adults. Children are
born abolitionists this work is designed to
keep them SO, and 10 prevent them from i'm
bibing the spirit of violence and oppression
that is so rife around them in this land of
boosted liberty. The facts and illustrations
embodied in The Young .4boliiiOnists," ale
pertinent and forcible, and peculiarly fitted
to make a deep and abiding impression on
the hearts of children in favor Of human Ii
berty. Ii would greatly benefit the Iighte-
Gus cause of Anti-Slavery, and help to hasten
The day of the slaves redemption, if the Alb
olilionists of this State and of The county
would take measures TO get that book into
general circulation.
| would say for the information Of Adolf
%tionists that "IHe Young .AJoAtiOnistS" rs
bound in Two kinds of ~binding-one is 90
cents per copy, retail price; the other, SO
cents. 1t may be had at the office Of the An
ti-Slavery Bugle, in Salem.
