EAGLEvILLE, Dec, 10. 1913

~ "
The Church of Disciples of Chris, in
Eagleville, Ashtabula county, Ohio, viewing
with deep sorrow The evils of American sla-
very, upheld as it is by many of the profess
ed followers of Christ, desire to publish 10
the world the views and sentiments we have
long entertained upon this subject.
We solemnly believe that man was made
in the image of his creator, as Divine inspi-
ration has taught us and that all the nations
Of the earth are made OF one blood. We also
fondly cherish a sentiment in our Declaration
of American Independence, that call men
are created equal, and are endowed by their
Creator within certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness" We also believe that the
great object Of the mission of Christ into our
world was "to proclaim liberty 10 the cap.
tive, and the opening of the prison doors to
them that are bound" But slavery is a
virtual denial ofall these heaven-born truths,
lnasmuch as it reduces the image of God TO
a mere chattel, TO a level with the brute. de-
MES to him the right of liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, and holds him in chains
of bondage, the loud proclamation of Heaven
to the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t is at
war with every principle of humanity, in
asmuch as it poisons the fountains of Justice
and reduces to the lowest depths of vice and
degradation, both the oppressor and the op-
pressed, and makes man-stealers, murderers
of fathers and murderers of mothers, of those
who engage in the accursed traffic.
We therefore can no more recognize the
right of Christians thus TO hold in bondape
their fellow-man, than the divine authority
OF the King or the Pope nor can we find
language to express our adherence of so
foul a sentiment, as claims man 10 be the
property of man, and subjects him in many
instances to treatment more cruel than death
itself; whereas the religion we profess,
breathes peace on earth and good will 10 all
men.
We therefore wish it distinctly understood
that we can hold no church shin with
the stakeholder, or those who identify them
selves with the institution of slavery, by ad-
vocating it as a Bible institution; and we
do believe it to be the duty of all religious
communities and the friends of humanity, to
unite and cooperate in thus d~iscountenanc-
ing the abominable sin, and thereby causing
its downfall as speedily as possible.

and on il is the glorious watchword of free
dom, "No UNION WITH SHAREHOLDERS !!
At the South end Of the Saloon is another
banner on which is the picture of old Liber-
ty Bell, and on it the words, " PROCLAIM LII
BERTY THROUGHOUT THE LAND" Over the
rows of tables on each side of the Saloon are
IL beautiful banners a banner over each la
BILE, and on each side of each banner is an APP
propriate motto. On one side of one Of the
banners is this:
1--WE dedicate our fair and lofty Hall,
Pillar and arch, entablature and wall,
AS virtues shrine, as Liberty's abode,
Sacred 10 Freedom and 10 freedoms God"
On another is this
deep let our pledge he,
Freedom Forever!
Truce with Oppression
Never, No, Never!"
wish | could send more of these, but can
not without prolonging my hasty letter: The
Saloon is Illuminated with six large Casa
Tiers.
Now, | wish you and other Ohio friends
could look in upon US here. Your hearts
would be encouraged, as ours are. You
would feel, that such a gathering as this, if
it did no more than pay its expenses by the
sale of things, would be Of great service to
the Heaven-guided cause of Abolition, by
bringing the friends of the slave together to
mingle thoughts and feelings in social inter.
course. HUMAN BRoTHERHooD is the world
wide watchword of our righteous cause, and
here we feel that all men are brethren, and
that God is our Father!
Through the Bugle, let me, in conclusion,
express my d~eep-felt gratitude to the many
men, and women, and children of Ohio, who
contributed SO essentially to my comfort and
happiness and usefulness, so far as | was USE
full, during the past summer. My heart is
with them, to cheer them on, and if my life
and health be spared ! mean to be with them,
as early as possible next spring. 1t is good
for me to be in Ohio. | love 10 mingle and
labor with such spirits as | found there. To
their confidence, untiring zeal, and ready and
prompt cooperation, is attributed whatever
of good | was enabled TO do in Ohio. | have
not forgotten, nor shall | forget my promise
to the children Of Salem, Marlboro, and other
to hold more Pic MICS with them
next summer, to tell them how 10 live with
out quarrelling once in heir whole lives
My associations with Ohio are pleasant and
only pleasant. l am a wiser, a better and
happier man for having spent a season there.
But the crowd around me increases, and |
will stop and mingle my sympathies, thoughts
and words with others, TO swell the orderly
confusion.

FRIENDS EDIroRs -
Notwithstanding the many instances of
gross inconsistency on the part of pro-slave-
ry professors of Christianity which have been
brought to light during the past Presidential
contest, there are still many more. And the
object now have in view is TO bring before
the public eye, through the columns of your
excellent anti-slavery journal, another in
stance of the rottenness and flthiness of the
prevailing religion CT this country.
Not long since, in casting my eyes over
the columns Of one of the papers Of our viii
lage, saw a notice of the portage County
Bible Society,"" signed by Cyrus Prentiss
as "President." Now this same Cyrus
Prentiss is q Tayloritc of the most rabid and
vindictive class, and is also a devoted mem
Der Of the Methodist Episcopal Church of
this place. AS far as Methodism and Tay-
lorism are concerned, this is all very con-
%sistent, as there is great similarity between
the two; but the idea of a red-mouthed Tay-
lorite being President of a Bible Society,
struck me as peculiarly revolving. Daring
the three months previous 10 the Presiden-
tial election, he was very industrious in do
ing all he could to promote the election of
Zachary Taylor to the Presidency; he even
went so far as to establish a Taylor press in
this place, in order the more effectually to
urge upon the people of the county the claims
of the slaveholding, blood hound candidate.
Every Sabbath during this period lie might
have been seen regularly occupying his pew
in the Methodist market-house, hearing what
he would call the " word Of God" dispensed
by a "Rev." Taylorite.
Look at it a moment. One day we be-
hold him voting, and urging others TO do the
same, for Zachary Taylor, a man who ha.
bitually breaks the Sd, 4th, 9th, 9Th, and 10th
commandment, (and the 7th also / doubt nct)
and the next day we see him sitting in SOL
emn c~onclave with his pious brethren, de-
vising ways and means to enable the Por-
tage County Bible Society" TO distribute
Bibles TO those who are destitute of the trea-
sure in this county, or perhaps to send them
abroad to the country of some of the outside
baIbarians, Hindoostan or China for instance.
| should like TO be informed whether the
aforesaid Cyrus Prentiss, at the meeting of
managers of this Bible Society, said any
thing about giving Bibles to "Old lacks"
$50 heather, or not. ! presume he did not,
as he probably remembered that the blood
stained lack was a life member Of Mission
AIRY Society, and would therefore have ample
opportunity to supply his own heather with
Bibles himself.
What a spectacle is this for the rising
generation to behold! What a s~alutary in
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-12-29

iuence must be exerted over the youth of
this country by Cyrus Prentiss, the rabid
Taylorite and President Of the Portage
County Bible Society,"! How long before
the world will be converted to Christianity
If we have Taylorites for Presidents of our
Bible SOcietiesl The problem is too vast
for my calculation.
Yours for consistency,
SPECTATOR.

CoUNTERFEIT GoLD.-Thompson's Reporter
says:-"We are again impelled TO call atten-
ton 10 the fact that large amount of spurious
American gold is now in circulation. There
are different processes by which silver pieces
are made to represent gold; the. most success
full is that of galvanizing them, which imparts
a clear, mint-Iike appearance to the piece
Another process is that of plating, but this
leaves the piece with heavy pasted appear
ance, and consequently less:likely to deceive.
The former (galvanic) process is the most like
Iy 10 deceive, particularly as the pieces are
made rather larger and thicker than the genu-
Inc, and this probably is the best method OF
detection-frst compare them with the genu-
inc in size and then in weight"

battle of Buena Vista to the gallant WOOL
The Steubenville Herald heard Gen. Wool
lately give an account Of that battle, when he
said that Gen. Taylor was posted where he
should have been-that his plans and orders
were unobjectionatle-t that he evinced great
presence of mind, and was deserving Of much
praise for the result of that battle. He spoke
of General Taylor in the highest terms, as a
General and asa citizen. twill be remember

locofoco party, therefore cannot be influenced
in his opinion by any political bias or preju-
dice.

doubt that true democracy will. But as we
see it stated, that thousands of wise men and

cause of this vast concourse ofspectators being
