Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-02-25

the word; at the conclusion of a sentence
which he considers Important, he rapidly
PUSHES a step or two forward, runs out his
tongue full length, then Immediately retracls
to his first position, amid the laughter OF the
House; one half OF what he says is lost IN
his own spulteIlng-wordS aud spittle CROWD
out OF his mouth simultdneously-the sound
OF his voice has an unearIhiy iwaDg.
d" His voice is one dull, UNMARRIED sound,
Seems to break forth iFom cavefns under
ground.
From hollow chest, the low sepulchral note,
Unwilling heaves and struggles IN his throat"
In tue House, he alks much and says lit
tle-the subject matter OF his speeches IS pi9-
jtteG from the writings Of a5olltlonlsts' his
reasoning is Illogical, bungling, and unwork-
manlikr. The kings English is horribly
mangled, while rolling oil his thick and rhas-
py tongue. The Liberation Of the iar-bralned
negro, is Ia his estimation, the chiel end OF
man. One idea has taken possession OF the
roolny vacuum of his mind. to ihe exclusion
utsall other tenants who might be willing IN
these bad times 10 pay 4 small rent for lodg-
ings in its cobwebby cells, Notwithstanding
~crevices in floor and ceiling. The condition

and masters him. While forcing his smHtty
and sickiy spleen upon the house, personal
abuse is his 'shieid, his panoply, and his
chariot Of war" Like Gallgu!a towards the
Romans, he wishes the tchiies had but one
head, that he might sever il At a single blow
he would willingly make a bridge Of their
heads and hearts whereupon to walk 10 pow
er. This monster "whom nature cast IN a
hideous mould" the largest OF living bipeds
that sleep and eat, who by y!lest means puT-
sues the vileSt ends - dead to shame and ev-
cry nice sense, who dcscends 10 the lowest
debths OF guile, has enough OF datIng bias
phemy IN his putrid heart 10 appeal 10 his
God for the purity Of his motives.
His speech Of this morning was a motley
spawn Of ignorance and within. lie dove
deep into the piqsh his folly had made, and
brought up half the bottom of his head
When he arose TO address the speaker, his
thumbs were in the arm holes Of his vest:
"Slow rose a form in majesty of mind,
Shaking the honors Of his sable brow"
He twists, he snorts, he roaFs, o how
"great Cesar IoarS!" signs, creams, twists
and toftures every limb-now he gtns and
looks broad nonsense, he opens his mouth
, and out flies tobacco saliva; another effort, he
, selzes hold of his cloudy subject with the
a venom and fury OF a dying viper. He spoke
about an hour, and established many points
, Of Ignorance; none of his remarks were in
p, order, and none cared enough about him Of
what he was saying, to call him to order; he
1 spoke ill he emptied himself, and llren sal
down..
In politics he claims to be a Whig, but the
Wing party in Congress disown HIM; here
he is, solitary and alone in his i~olly-most
of the members refusing to associate with
him. To speak plainly and truly, he is a dis
tinguished public dunee, belonging to no par
ticuIa sect or party, a fly leaf in the books
written by Garrison, scratched over with the
autographs OF BOBBY scholarship. He is IA
lawyer, and has had quite an extensive Haie
practice, in magistrates courts in the back
and woody townships CT Ashtabula. How
the people Of his District ever took it into
their heads to send the "cTeam faced loom
TO Congress, | ain not able to divine. lie
will disgrace any constituency, and much
more the in,elligen. one of the Reserve, from
which he halls. 1t is ruInored here that his
refusing TO vote for Winthrop, for speaker,
has prepared him for the ebony embrace o.
the third party. More anon.
