TO the Editors Of The Bugh.
DEAR FRIENDS Who can stand a rush ?
This question is forced upon me every where,
as ! 90 about this State. The Tush Of mind
is all one way. One would suppose that the
Wing and Democratic parties already, or
soon to be, numbered with the things that
were-were completely gorged with Anti
Slavery feeling and principle, and that they
only waited and prayed for an opportunity TO
rush into an Anti-Slavery position, soon as
they possibly could do so without being
obliged to bear the cross of being identified
with those who have carried the name Of
abolitionists by a baptism of blood. Those
who originated the ~Anti-Slavery enterprise,
and who, by passing through a fiery ordeal.
have fostered it with tears and suffering in
its infamy, and have conducted it on its path
way to triumph till it has rocked the land
like an earthquake, are, as yet, too despised
by pro-slavery churches and politicians, 10
be counted worthy 10 be associated with
those IL u'o NV JC' PirPu'Su W 10y u" U
the altar of Humanity. The FREE Soil
party (falsely so-called,) has taken a posi-
ton which these disaffected members Of the
Wing and Democratic parties can occupy
without any sacrifice of reputation, or of in
fuence, and such is the rush of persons from
these old parties to gain that advance posi-
tlon, that those who have, for fifteen years,
stood greatly in advance of it, are now, in
some instances, being drawn back from the
position of no religious or political alliance
uih shareholders, TO the lower, more danger
Gus, less efficient, and more absurd, position
of No-Ertension Of slavery. No further ex-
tension of It,. Let it be where it is; yea,
tolerate, and even sustain it where it is, but
say to it, as you are, go not a step further.
Now, it sounds TO me very melancholy,
very sorrowful, TO hear men, who, for many
years, have given forth, in clear, full tones,
the great battle-cry of Observation-Disclosures
ATE EMANCIPATION, THE RIGHT OF
THE SLAVE AND DUTY OF THE MAsTER-now
as the day Of deliverance TO the slave begins
to dawn, 10 begin TO utter the feeble, uncer-
tain and soul-chilling sound, NON-EXTEN-
SION OF SLAVERY. those who have
never peeped nor muttered before on this
great test question, in Church and State, of
the nineteentbseentury, aye, of all past CEN
turtles of the S6fld's history, try their lungs
and voices on this feeble, powerless, infant
cry; but it is most sorrowful to hear those
thus muttering this infant wall, whose voices
have hitherto been like deep-toned thunder
against slavery, TO c~onvulse the nation.
Through the Bugle, let me say to the abo'
l~itionists of Ohio, especially to those mel
and women who have hitherto stood on thu
principle-NO UNION WITH SLAVE
HOLDERS - Having separated yoursel
from all religious and political alliance witt
man-stealers, what is it you now propose t
do! Why, to repent of the step which yo
took when you came out, and 10 go back
and knock at the door of the Bastile of bloc
4 and pollution, and beg of the hucksters i
9 human flesh 10 take you once again TO thei
f~raternal embrace. You say 10 the slave
breeders and slave-dealers, "Come, des
= brethren, | have wronged you in separatin
myself from you now let us form a moi
perfect union"
y And what is your object, Why, to pr
- vent the extension of slavery. Yes, you e
ter into a confederacy with Shareholders
. prevent the extension of slavery! Was ev
folly more foolish Never, unless it W;
